It’s lit: University kicks off holiday season Docufi lm explores HIV in the South
JACQUELINE KNIRNSCHILD STAFF WRITER
To raise HIV awareness and honor World AIDS Day, the Oxford Film Festival and the Sarah Isom Center for Women and Gender Studies will host a free screening of the documentary “deepsouth” at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Powerhouse. Released in 2012, “deepsouth” explores the neglected HIV/AIDS crisis in the rural American South through the lens of a college student living in the Mississippi Delta and two HIV activists who, despite challenges with resources and bureaucracy, devote their lives to preventing the spread of AIDS and helping those already infected to live a healthy life. “As one of the top lethal diseases in both America and worldwide, it is critical to better understand and instill change in how the PHOTO BY: BILLY SCHUERMAN world views and combats Students look on as the annual Christmas tree lighting takes place in the Circle on Wednesday.

I’m never sure what to do during the six-week break away from college. At times, living under my parents’ routine becomes dreadful. I’ve already found myself questioning how many episodes of “Scandal” and reality show reruns I’ll cram into those six weeks. Or how many times my little sister will barge into room and disregard my privacy before I say enough is enough. When the going gets tough, or when you just want to escape your family, the following podcasts serve as a breather from all that chaos. Grab some headphones, but don’t lock yourself in your room all day, because I’m pretty sure I just heard your mom calling you downstairs to take the chicken out of the freezer for dinner and to be productive.
YOU MADE IT WEIRD TERRIBLE, THANKS FOR ASKING Comedian Peter Holmes focuses on all “Terrible, thanks for asking” isn’t the typical things eccentric on his weekly comedy, “You response when asked how your day is; in fact, Made It Weird.” In each lengthy episode, it’s straightforward and a bit awkward, and that’s Holmes brings guests of all types on the exactly what this podcast is centered around. show — authors, pastors, comedians, Host Nora McInerny will make you feel awkward musicians and scientists.

The podcast is honest and, at guests on the show include stand-up comedian Dane Cook, Bill Nye and times, dark.

Other Rebels to bring home the prestigious award are Bo Wallace, Patrick Wil- lis, Deuce McAllister and Stewart Patridge. In addi- tion, Eli Manning was award- ed the award twice during his time at Ole Miss. After his historic year, Brown is already being re- garded as one of the top re- ceivers ever to play at Ole Miss, and adding this tro- phy to a laundry list of ac- colades has him on a path to be the best player to ever suit up for the Rebels. But only time will tell.
