Hangtags in use in a vehicle on campus.

In honor of today’s Na-tional Equal Pay Day, a sal-ary negotiation workshop is being held on campus at the Center for Manufactur-ing Excellence Room 108 from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

The workshop will at-tempt to teach women in particular how to proper-ly negotiate their salaries when a job offer is made.

“Equal Pay Day is im-portant and it affects ev-eryone,” leader of the workshop and Ole Miss professor Amy Mark said. “It affects men, spouses, children and friends. Wom-en rarely negotiate their salaries in comparison to those of men.”

Today’s workshop is free and all students are wel-come to join.

The concept of the “M.R.S. Degree” is nothing new. At Ole Miss, the stereotype that the women in specific academic programs are only looking for a husband stems directly from the old idea that this was the norm for all wom-en at our university.

Whereas it might have been common for our grandmoth-ers’ and great-grandmothers’ generations, the concept of the M.R.S. Degree as the social norm at Ole Miss cer-tainly does not stand true today. While relationships may come into play during their four years of undergrad, women come to Oxford to walk across a stage at gradu-ation, not to walk down the aisle of a church.

Though the M.R.S. De-gree stereotype is definitely not unique to the history of the University of Mississippi, the last place I would look for signs of the phenomenon would be a top-tier, “presti-gious” Ivy League school like Princeton. As a letter pub-lished in the Daily Princeton-ian last week clearly demon-strated (which has since gone viral), no school is immune to this sexist ideal.

In her letter, 1977 Princ-eton grad Susan Patton gives female students surprising advice: “find a husband”, and fast.

Patton goes on to explain that finding a husband should be every female student’s goal before they since they will never again have access to such a deep pool of “worthy” potential mates: “You will never again be surrounded by this concentration of men who are worthy of you. Of course, once you graduate, you will meet men who are

your intellectual equal — just not that many of them.” She even has the audacity to tell freshmen they have the best chances since all Princeton men are either their age or older, and that senior women are short on time. Because of course, women of 21 or 22 years old are undesirable old crones.

I’m not even going to dis-cuss the rampant Ivy-League elitism in her letter—I could write an entire column on that topic alone. But beyond the elitism of her pedigree, Pat-ton is shallow enough to bla-tantly use intellectual elitism as well: “Smart women can’t (shouldn’t) marry men who aren’t at least their intellectual equal. As Princeton women, we have almost priced our-selves out of the market. Sim-ply put, there is a very limited population of men who are as smart or smarter than we are.”

The thesis of Patton’s letter is that modern society has put too much pressure on women

to focus on their careers. I couldn’t disagree more. The purpose of four years of un-dergrad is to get an educa-tion that (surprise!) leads to a career. Women have fought hard over the past few de-cades to minimize the M.R.S. Degree stereotype and legiti-mize their college enrollment, and Patton’s letter is an exam-ple of the forces that could set back progress.

But pushing young women between the ages of 18-22 years old to make a commit-ment that is supposed to last the rest of their lives is a terri-ble, demeaning idea. Most of us do not even know what we want to do in our careers, let alone who we want to marry, and we have our entire lives ahead of us.

Patton’s argument furthers the ideas that women are only desirable when we are young, that our “marriageability” has an expiration date, and that

our own social status is com-pletely dependent on our hus-band. Should a female student so happen to find a relation-ship or even a husband while in college, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that—be-cause it is her choice, not soci-ety’s requirement.

While I hope that we are all mature enough to dismiss Patton’s letter as sexist, elit-ist nonsense, we must bear in mind that it shows how old, outdated ideas of what a woman “needs” to be happy still exist today. In order to keep moving forward in the fight for equality in school and the workplace, young women need to focus on what makes them happy on a personal ba-sis, not what society or other outside pressures expect of them.

Who died and made you colonel?

In my four years as a stu-dent at The University of Mississippi I’ve made it my policy to do the following: try and get along; attend class at least 60 percent of the time; regularly cheer for my Ole Miss Rebel football, basket-ball, baseball, and even ten-nis teams; completely ignore any and all campus elections of any kind as well as any kind of decisions made by those elected.

What I’m saying is: I don’t get involved.

I have no particular disdain for those who do, I’m just completely indifferent to As-sociated Student Body or the homecoming court or frankly any campus organization. If some students at this school want to have a pretend gov-ernment that doesn’t actually affect any part of a regular

student’s life, then that’s fine. I’ve skimmed over a lot of

angry tweets concerning the ASB’s decision to do away with the title of “Colonel Reb” for the equivalent of Mr. Ole Miss. There’s been much wailing and gnashing of teeth on this matter, as a very vocal contingent of the Rebel faithful is incapable of letting Colonel Reb go. My feelings towards the Colonel are the same as my feelings toward the ASB: complete indifference.

If he were still our mascot, I wouldn’t mind. I like the black bear just fine, though. I just don’t care about mas-cots. A mascot is not a tradi-tion. Tailgating in the Grove is a tradition. Playing “From Dixie With Love” was a tra-dition. Opening presents on Christmas morning is a tradi-tion. A mascot is just a thing. A mascot is a totem, and we

have plenty of those in Ox-ford.

Isn’t this the most apathetic column you’ve ever read? Don’t worry, here comes the stuff:

The “Colonel Reb” that was done away with by what-ever nefarious means the play government saw fit was not the Colonel Reb that you grew up with. This was just a title. This was just, essentially, Mr. Ole Miss. The winner of a popularity contest that hardly anyone votes in. This was changing words into dif-ferent, frankly more appro-priate words.

Think about it: You’re the number one bro on campus and, lucky you, the eight or nine people who vote in campus elections choose you as Colonel Reb. You get to spend the rest of that wonder-ful part of your early twenties where literally anyone cares

what you did in college tell-ing people you were Colonel Reb. Then you get to spend the next ten minutes explain-ing exactly what in the hell that means. But if you’re Mr. Ole Miss? I’m pretty sure people would just get that.

So pick your battles, Colo-nel supporters, and let this one go. Now if we continue to trudge through our own little Watergate scandal and dis-cover that the ASB did some-thing unjust and “unconstitu-tional,” then tar and feather them in front of the Lyceum for all I care.

Just make sure your priori-ties are where they should be: with honesty and account-ability, not with nostalgia.

being paid unfairly.“It makes me angry be-

cause I think there is an anti-quated idea that women are going to marry and depend on men for the income,” Hobbs said. “That’s certain-ly the way it doesn’t work out most of the time.”

The study shows that the gap has shrunk since 1970, when women were only making 60 percent of what men were. The report par-tially credits the narrowing of the gap to the progress of women in education and in the workforce as well as the slower rise of men’s wages.

Phi Kappa Phi Leadership Consultant Clint Carlisle said focusing on women’s wages is not a bad thing, but noted that it has caused a shift in public perspective.

“I think what has happened is that we have spent the past decade if not centuries work-ing to give women more op-portunities,” Carlisle said. “I think that focusing just on women instead on men in that area has kind of given them the upper hand now.”

According to the report, the gender wage gap can be attributed to women’s life choices.

Keenan Dollar, leadership consultant for Phi Kappa Phi, believes the likelihood of women becoming moth-ers and marrying also con-tributes to the wage gap.

“I do think the difference in wages is a little unfair,” Dollar said. “But you also have to take into consider-ation the fact that women become wives and most of the time when they have children. They become stay-at-home moms.”

The study said that one year after college gradua-tion, women were paid 82 percent of what men were paid. A previous report by the American Association of University Women in 2007 found that 10 years af-ter graduation, the pay gap broadens and women were paid only 69 percent of what men were paid.

“The big part of it is the types of jobs men and wom-en still have,” said Jonathan Winburn, assistant professor of political science. “Jobs that women have tradition-ally gone into like teaching or nursing pay less than jobs men go into.

“The gap may not become even, but it will shrink be-cause I know there are pro-grams that are actively try-ing to recruit women to areas like engineering or tradition-ally male dominated jobs.”

Smith said the legislation should come down from the state government. This was his thinking behind writing the bill to be brought before the state legislature.

“If we need to do some regu-lations, let’s do it from the state level where all the cities would operate under the same rules and regulations,” Smith said. “That way an operator knows exactly what’s required.”

Smith and Stringer said they believed that passing this law has nothing to do with the obe-sity rate in Mississippi. Smith thinks the root of the obesity problem is parenting styles and Smith and Stringer agree that not enough education on health is also having a big im-pact on the issue.

Smith and Stringer also both

agree that this law captures and focuses on individual freedom and choice.

“I don’t know if the bill makes us healthier, I think people need to make their own choices on what they eat,” Stringer said.

Oxford locals are wondering how this legislation is going to affect their eating habits, if at all.

“My kids don’t really get health classes the way they should, like we used to,” said Lynora Jackson, 32-year-old employee at the Chevron Gas Station on Old Taylor Road.

Jackson’s coworker Stella Lewis, 54, agrees with the law and thinks obesity should not be an issue the government should be currently worrying about.

“Let that individual person decide what they want to do, because it’s their choice,” Lew-is said.

23 Things I learned before 23: Part 3this is the final part of sidney Williams’ 23 things i learned before 23 column. part 1 ran in the april 5 edition of the dM. part 2 ran in the april 8 edition.

Principles: 14. You’re not perfect either.Your argument won’t always

be valid. Your heart won’t always be golden. You aren’t always the victim. You’re going to treat someone terribly even when you don’t mean to, just like you’ll be treated horribly at some point(s) in your life. Learn how to apolo-gize, and do it sincerely.

15. Things change. I think the biggest “thing” I no-

ticed about college was the tran-sition. Mindsets change in col-lege. Your eyes will inevitably be opened to things you were once against, just like you’ll decide you oppose the side of an issue you always supported. Don’t be afraid of change. Change is inevi-table. Growth is optional.

16. Lying is bad.Unless you’re sending little

“untruthful” messages to your professor about why you missed class this morning, absolutely no good comes from a lie.

17. The random text is pow-erful.

Take time out of your week to send polite, unexpected messag-es to someone who may or may

not need it. Don’t you like ran-dom, kind words from someone you didn’t expect to contact you? Of course.

But random text is something to do in private. If someone else finds out, it should be because your recipient chose to share how kind you were, not because you want the glory or praise.

Age/Maturity18. Jealousy is the ugliest trait.Be happy for people. If it both-

ers you so badly, then work harder. Congratulate people who have more than you or who beat you. Smile to their face and then go talk about them behind their back to your closest friend like a normal person.

19. Everyone has a fresh-man year.

You hate them. But you know what? We all had one. It’s just one of those things you have to go through. You have to wear bad clothing with friends who talk too loudly about the wrong things at the wrong time. You have to upload those beach pic-tures full of underage drinking and swearing. it happens. The only thing worse than 13th-grade immaturity is knowing someone who waited until he or she was 25 to get it out of his or her sys-tem.

Friendship20. Four of a kind beats a

full house.While you’re living that fresh-

man year, you’ll find yourself surrounded with a considerably larger number of friends than you had in high school. Being liked is always a plus. But know who your true friends are. Warn-ing sign: The more “fun” you’re having with someone new, the less you should probably trust them.

Miscellaneous21. Evening ritualsTake time out of your day to

reflect. It will amaze you what a brisk evening walk can do for your disposition. Have a quiet 10 or 20 minutes to think things over. While you’re letting your life choices sink in, remember that there are no right or wrong choices, but rather the decisions that you take and make right for yourself.

22. Live (with someone) outside the box.

I’ve had three different room-mates throughout my college ca-reer, and not a single one of them was a white male like myself. Live with someone of another race, gender, sexual orientation or whatever demographic inter-

ests you. You will never learn more than you will from living with someone who is somehow different from you.

23. You’re never fully dressed without a smile.

No matter what is going on in your life, remember to always count your blessings. Those people who influence you? Put a smile on and be someone else’s inspiration. Stop worrying so much. Everything always works out in the end, so turn that frown upside down and deal with it.

On the defensive side of the ball, Freeze has two things he would like to see as well.

“Cut out the big plays and then penalties,” he said. “We had too many penalties in the scrimmage. Sometimes, we get bad with our eyes and can give up a big play.”

Freeze was asked about how much he will be able to ex-pand his offensive line rotation in the fall.

“I wish I could tell you,” Freeze said. “We had so many

out (this spring). I expect (sign-ees) Laremy (Tunsil) and Aus-tin (Golson) to play.”

Freshman basketball guard Martavious Newby decided earlier in the spring, following the conclusion of basketball season, to try his hand at foot-ball. While he has had a class conflict with morning practic-es, allowing him only to attend one practice, Freeze is unsure of his future with the team.

Freshman tight end Christian Morgan was due to have an MRI Monday morning. The results were still unknown as of the end of Monday’s practice, but should be in and reported

after practice on Wednesday morning.

Junior wide receiver Vincent Sanders rolled his ankle late in practice on Monday, but the injury does not appear serious.

Junior defensive back Nick Brassell was rotating in with the first team on Monday be-fore also going down late in practice; he walked off on his own strength and his injury also appears to be minor.

The Rebels will resume prac-tice at 8 a.m. on Wednesday.

For continuing coverage of Ole Miss football, follow @JLgrindin and @thedm_sports on Twitter.

Mississippi State will send sophomore right-hander Bran-don Woodruff to the mound, who got the win against the Rebels in last year’s Gover-nor’s Cup. Woodruff is 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA this season.

At the plate, the Bulldogs are led by slugger Hunter Ren-froe, a junior outfielder, who leads the team in batting aver-age (.417), home runs (10), RBI (38) and total bases (88).

The Rebels are continually led by junior catcher Stuart

Turner at the plate, who is coming off a 4-for-5 outing this past Sunday. He is hitting .409 with three home runs and 35 RBI. Junior shortstop Austin Anderson is the only other Rebel with a batting average higher than .300 at .319 and is second on the team with 38 hits and 25 RBI.

The Rebels and Bulldogs are scheduled for a 6:30 p.m. first pitch from Trustmark Park, home of the AA affiliate of the Atlanta Braves.

DiaMonD rebs Look to bounce back in governor’s cuP

rebels turn in energetic practice

The No. 23 Ole Miss Rebels and No. 21 Mississippi State Bulldogs will match up tonight

in Pearl in the annual battle for the Governor’s Cup. The Reb-els (23-9, 4-8 SEC) and Bulldogs (26-9, 5-7 SEC) have split the series 3-3 since the renaming of the rivalry in 2007. The Rebels

enter the game on a five-game skid, while the Bulldogs come in after a loss to Florida on Sunday.

Sophomore right-hander Josh Laxer will get the start for Ole Miss. He is 2-0 on the year with a 2.45 ERA in seven appear-ances, four of which were starts. Laxer, a Madison native, said he is excited to get to pitch near his hometown.

“You gotta love it,” Laxer said. “It’s where I’m from, and I get to see people that hopefully fol-low me from high school and come down there and watch. Our team had a lot of success there last year, and hopefully, we continue that going down there.”

Laxer and the Rebels know that this game carries a little more weight, not just because it is a rivalry game, but also be-

cause the team is looking to get back into the win column after losing their last five games.

“It’s a big game for us,” Laxer said. “Number one, its Missis-sippi State, and number two, be-cause we do need a win. Some things just didn’t happen for us this past weekend. We’re defi-nitely expecting a good bounce back after (tonight’s) game.”

Head coach Mike Bianco also recognizes the importance of the matchup with the in-state ri-val.

“We’ve got to play like we can play,” Bianco said. “I have no doubt that we’ll play like that on Tuesday against your arch-rival.”

coming off a five-game losing streak, no. 23 ole Miss will look to get things back on track against in-state foe no. 21 Mississippi state in the annual Governor’s cup in pearl at trustmark park tonight at 6:30 p.m.

the ole Miss football team had an energetic practice Monday morning as the last few days of spring practice wind down.

The gridiron Rebels re-turned to the practice fields for their 12th practice of the spring Monday morn-ing. It is only the second time practice has been held on the practice fields, and head coach Hugh Freeze was pleased with the ener-getic and upbeat pace to the morning session.

“Thought we were going to have to come out and manu-facture some spirit for them, we probably did early, but I was really pleased with how they responded to a Monday morning,” Freeze said.

After reviewing the tape from Saturday’s practice, Freeze saw what he suspect-ed: The offense dominated. He cited improved quarter-back play and the defense being less fundamentally sound.

Entering the last week of the spring, Freeze has a very simple request of his offense.

“Negative plays, we need to cut those out and stay on schedule,” Freeze said. “We can have an incomplete pass on first down, just not a mi-nus five, minus three or a turnover.”

Freeze notes that accom-plishing his offensive goals could be difficult because of injuries on the offensive line and the amount of schemes the defense is running at the offense.
