Insight Park hosts first ‘Startup Weekend’

Almost two years after its grand opening, Insight Park continues its dedication to the survival and growth of startup companies and businesses by hosting Oxford’s first-ever Startup Weekend.

Startup Weekend is a national movement geared toward teach-ing participants the basics of how to develop ideas or products into successful endeavors or potential businesses. With Startup Week-end’s unique composition, young entrepreneurs have the ability to hear, learn and grow from power-ful businesspeople.

“The weekend is not only an investment to the participant’s fu-ture but also a chance to lead to some immediate ventures,” said Lee Morris, event organizer and intern for Innovate Mississippi.

Morris believes Startup Week-end has the potential to be a career launcher for those who participate in the events.

Oxford’s Startup Weekend, hosted by the Innovation Hub at Insight Park, will kick off on Feb. 7 and end on Feb. 9.

“The 54-hour weekend event is designed to give participants a

once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to work with skilled business profes-sionals who will give them tips for their business plans and encourage them as entrepreneurs,” said Blair Jackson, senior journalism student and Insight Park employee.

Those participating in the week-end’s events will start by pitching a business plan to a panel of judges. Based on the most popular ideas, teams of three or four contributors and one mentor are assembled to further enhance the original idea into a business plan and model. Finally, the teams will be asked to present their final creations in front of various Oxford locals in order to receive proper feedback.

Mentors and coaches from a wide array of entrepreneurial backgrounds are set to help teams during their business develop-ments such as Josh Mabus, Beth-any Cooper, Owens F. Alexander Jr., Joyce Freeland, John Brandon and Ashley Locke.

Insight Park was opened in April of 2012 with a mission to facilitate the growth of new en-terprises while helping connect the university at large with private sectors. In order to make Startup Weekend possible, Insight Park has partnered with the Oxford-

Lafayette County Entrepreneur-ial Alliance, Innovate Mississippi and The University of Mississippi School of Business Administra-tion, according to Executive Di-rector Rick Duke.

Duke said Insight Park is al-ways looking for ways to create awareness about what exactly the research facility does and about entrepreneurialism, both for the Ole Miss community and the city of Oxford.

“It won’t surprise us to see some of the participants become ten-ants in The Innovation Hub’s in-cubator in the near future,” Duke said.

Both Morris and Duke believe Insight Park’s support of Startup Weekend has benefits beyond those that the participants can just take away.

“Obviously it helps Oxford from an economical standpoint by having everyone come and bring their dollars,” Morris said. “It also helps put Oxford on a map of be-ing innovative and a cutting-edge city because it shows the fostering and encouraging of entrepreneur-ial growth.”

Duke believes the weekend will

Associated Student Body Vice President Morgan Gregory and the Governmental Operations Committee are in the process of writing a bill that will give elected officials an additional month in office.

Gregory said the bill is meant to maximize the time senators have during their term. She also said that by pushing the spring elections back, the inauguration for newly elected officers will be pushed back as well.

“Pushing back inauguration will eliminate the need for such a drastic transition and filling of open seats in the spring,” Gregory said. “(Pushing back inauguration will) condense the overall transi-tion time between inauguration and Senate elections to maxi-mize valuable time in the senate, which will also add to the quality of work done by senators because they won’t be so rushed to cram everything they want to do into such a short period of time.”

Gregory said the change would require both a bill to change the code and an amendment to the constitution. If the bill passes, stu-dents will then have to vote on the change.

The student vote would be taken by clicking “yes” when a student selects candidates on www.myolemiss.edu for spring elections. This will signify that students are aware that these can-didates will be in office for an ad-ditional month.

If passed, the change will go into effect in spring 2015, giving the officers elected in spring 2014 an additional month in office.

Gregory said the draft of the bill is not yet complete. She hopes the bill will be a way to improve the efficiency and process of the ASB Senate.

“My hopes are that this, in ad-dition to the recently passed bill amending and improving the way open seats are filled, will set the future legislative branch up for a term much easier to be uti-

With a generous smile and a playful attitude, Spanish in-structor Mevelyn Romay Fer-nandez might just fool you into believing that she has had an easy life.

Above her desk hangs a small Cuban flag, and around her finger and neck she wears tiny gold dolphins. These items and a heavy Spanish ac-cent offer clues to a life Fer-nandez once had. Thanks to a couple Mississippians and a strong dose of steadfastness, she has long since left that life

behind. “Repeat after me,” Fer-

nandez says to a classroom of eager students. “Cuando era una nina, yo viajaba a la playa.” They mimic their pro-fessor, Southern accents taint-ing her perfect Spanish words. She giggles and makes a quick joke, her lighthearted and out-going nature a draw for many students.

Today, the 39-year-old teaches intermediate-level Spanish at The University of Mississippi.Her journey from Cuba to Oxford has been tu-

ADvERTISING STAFF:

Gov. Phil Bryant’s State of the State address left Mississippians with more recycled talking points than substance Wednesday eve-ning. I cannot say I’m shocked. Bryant has little to show when it comes to accomplishments for this state. Although he says Mis-sissippi is progressing, it looks as if he is stuck in the wrong decade. Bryant is consistently pushing for antiquated “solutions” and hold-ing our state back at every oppor-tunity.

Let’s look at health care as the first example. Although Missis-sippi has one of the highest rates of uninsured individuals in the nation, Bryant dedicated a mere paragraph to health care in his speech. And it had nothing to do with expanding access to needy Mississippians. According to Re-uters, the governor’s refusal to expand Medicaid under the Af-fordable Care Act is depriving 300,000 adults access to much needed health care services.

Never mind the fact that Mis-

sissippi leads the nation in pov-erty, is second-highest in obe-sity, is highest in diabetes and is highest in pre-term births. Never mind the fact that Bryant turned down $426 million in funds from the federal government to cover Medicaid for the next year and $2.2 billion over the next seven years.

Our governor’s political grand-standing is costing Mississippians access to quality health care and maybe even their lives. Republi-can governors across the nation are beginning to accept Medicaid dollars because it’s practical — Gov. Bryant needs to do the same.

Instead of proposing ways to increase access to health insur-ance or reducing poverty in Mis-sissippi, Bryant had more impor-tant issues to propose, you know, like changing our state motto to “In God We Trust.” Democrats in the state legislature should agree to change the state motto as soon as the governor agrees to change the state flag.

And in another shot at the Constitution and reproductive freedom, Bryant said his goal is

to end a woman’s right to choose in Mississippi. It’s as if the state motto and the few abortions in Mississippi are more problematic than the hundreds of thousands of Mississippians who lack ba-sic health care services, access to a quality public school and are hungry each day.

Bryant’s lip service to educa-tion was also far from impressive. Although the modest increase in funding for public schools is much appreciated, it falls short of what Mississippi schools need. High standards for students are mean-ingless if our priorities are grossly underfunded. The budget for fis-cal year 2014 will underfund Mis-sissippi schools by almost $300 million. In fact, our state has de-creased the amount we spend per student in past years, according to the Center on Budget and Poli-cy Priorities. Education reform should also include an across-the-board pay raise for Mississippi teachers. Merit pay is not the immediate answer as Bryant sug-gested. Teachers need incentive and salary security if we want to attract more quality educators to

Mississippi.If Gov. Bryant truly wants

Mississippi to make progress, the political grandstanding needs to stop. Enough with the talking points. Enough with the decades-old policies from the 1950s. Let’s make meaningful changes that expand civil liberties and rights in Mississippi. First, we should expand the voting franchise by allowing early voting and online registration. We should make vot-ing easier, faster and more acces-sible. Second, Mississippi needs to expand Medicaid. This is a no-brainer. The federal government is subsidizing the vast majority of the cost. Bryant needs to stop obstructing progress in our state. Finally, we need to fully fund Mis-sissippi public schools and pay teachers a salary they deserve. The state of our state would be stronger with these actual solu-tions — it’s time for Gov. Bryant to get on board.

benefit not only Oxford but also surrounding areas.

“The weekend’s benefits will be felt around campus, in the Oxford-Lafayette County community and North Mississippi, including part of the Delta region,” Duke said. “Any new enterprise ideas brought to Startup Weekend and turned into viable businesses will have positive impacts in each of those areas.”

According to Morris, there is a limit of 50 participants, and as of now there are only 15 registered. Students, faculty members and all residents of the Oxford com-munity are encouraged to contrib-ute to Oxford’s Startup Weekend. Those wishing to participate must register and purchase a ticket for $50. To register and find out more about the event, visit www.ox-ford.startupweekend.org or www.startupweekend.org.

multuous and exhausting, but Fernandez now feels like she is finally traveling in the right direction.

Born in Havana in 1974, Fernandez had a less-than-ideal childhood.

“We were very poor. We didn’t have anything,” she said. “It was a time in Cuba when it was very hard to find food.”

In mid-December of 1995, after a long day of class at the University of Havana, Fernandez was feeling melan-choly and began to pray.

All she wanted for Christ-mas was a nice meal for her family. As she was leaving the school, a friend of Fernandez’s from freshman year called to her.

“She said, ‘Mevelyn, Mev-elyn, come here! There is a group of Americans here, and they’re looking for somebody to interpret for them,’” Fer-nandez recalled. “So I went to talk to a group of about four or five very tall, older Ameri-can guys and said, ‘Hey, are you from the United States?’”

Fernandez smiled as she re-counted her first memory of Bob McCustion.

“They said, ‘We are. We are from Mississippi.’” Her Span-ish accent paused as she jok-ingly mocked the men’s thick drawl. “I was used to more academic accents.”

Most Cubans at that time were Catholic or practiced Santeria, and some were a mix of the two. The missionaries, from Tupelo, were looking for a Protestant who could speak Spanish to help them minister to the people of Havana.

“It was all heaven-sent, I’m telling you,” she said. But what the Mississippi men were ask-ing her to do wasn’t as simple

as handing out Bibles. “They were very bold,” she

said. “They would approach crowds and start talking about the gospel, and I was interpret-ing for them, and that is illegal in Cuba. Thank God we never got in trouble. Sometimes we got scared, but we never got in real trouble.”

Although risky, the work was fulfilling for the then-college student. The men left a few days later, but they kept Fer-nandez’s contact information. For the next five years, she, Bob McCustion, Frank Scott and their team spread their message throughout the coun-try one mission trip at a time.

By 2000, Fernandez was fed up with the Cuban govern-ment and was unable to earn enough money for her family. She decided to do whatever it would take to escape her home country, even though it meant leaving her mother, sister and sick grandmother behind. Two years later, and after a few months in Canada, Fernandez’s Mississippi con-nections came to her aid. She moved to Tupelo and worked

as a nanny for a while, but when a house fire burned al-most all she owned, she decid-ed to start over in New York City.

The Big Apple taught Fer-nandez many things, but life was hard and expensive for her there. Finally, McCustion and his family convinced her to move back to Tupelo. It was after she had come back to the South and had applied for a driver’s license that Fernandez first visited Ole Miss.

“I had to take my Cuban birth certificate to The Uni-versity of Mississippi to be translated so I could get my learner’s permit,” she said. “When I arrived, the woman, who is now my boss, Julia Bus-sade, told me that the school was starting a new program with native speakers and that I should consider getting my master’s.”

With help from her Tupelo friends and employer, that’s exactly what Fernandez did. She has been teaching at Ole Miss for two and a half years now.

And she still wears the gold

dolphins to remind her of a time back in Cuba, when she took a dolphin trainer’s course at the Havana aquarium.

With a grin and a gleam in her chestnut eyes, she ex-plained that the experience has inspired her to write a children’s book.

An inspiration herself, Fer-nandez often quotes Tolkien:

“The greatest adventure is what lies ahead. Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.” She grins. “I’m not finished yet.”

“Cake: A Story Piece” at the Meek Auditorium

On Jan. 21, associate theatre arts professor Dex Edwards per-formed a dress rehearsal of his upcoming production, “Cake: A Story Piece.” The entire piece, written and performed by Edwards alone, is part of a trilogy that has been performed in locations such as Oregon and Atlanta and, soon, Los Angeles. “Cake: A Story Piece” is the second installment following “Rising Sun,” another produc-tion Edwards wrote.

“The third part will actually happen another year from now out in L.A.,” Edwards said.

It will also appear here in Ox-ford.

According to the official press

release, “Cake: A Story Piece” is a one-man show written origi-nally with 26 characters.

Edwards said some of the characters were based on peo-ple he knew, though one was unfortunately cut from produc-tion. He said his grandmother plays a large role in the show.

“It is most like I’m just telling a series of stories with differ-ent characters,” Edwards said. “Unfortunately one of the char-acters, Uncle Jimmy, was cut, so I will only have 25 characters for the production.”

Edwards is best known for his work as a set designer and has received many honors, includ-ing a Critics’ Choice Award, for his design work.

Edwards explained that though the set for “Cake: A

Story Piece” is very simple and didn’t take much work, it is still very important in the telling of his story.

Throughout the production, Edwards tells several seemingly unrelated stories. In addition to this, he bakes three cakes during the performance: a chocolate, a red velvet and a butter cake. Then he puts them all together.

“You would think that all these cakes together would not be good at all, but once the au-dience tastes the cake — yes, the audience will be invited to eat the actual cake after the perfor-mance on the stage — they will see how well it goes together, just like the stories I will tell dur-ing the play.”

University of Mississippi se-nior Maricia Echols attended one of Edwards’ classes in the past and said she plans to see the show.

“Mr. Edwards is very good at what he does and truly loves his work,” she said.

“Cake: A Story Piece” will be showing Jan. 24 and 25 at 7:30 p.m. and Jan. 26 at 2 p.m. in the Meek Auditorium, and admis-sion is a $5 donation to the the-atre arts scholarship fund. Ed-wards and all involved strongly encourage everyone to attend.

the Commodores and junior guard LaDarius White added 11 more. Add in junior big man Aaron Jones scoring eight, and Ole Miss got a little scor-ing from all over the court, al-though White and Jones com-bined to shoot seven of 18 from the field.

It is more realistic for Ole Miss to expect a few players to hover near the 10-point mark than for one guy to go for 20. But inconsistency has been the role players’ demise.

But any combination of Saiz, Perez, White, Jones, junior for-ward Demarco Cox and soph-omore guard Derrick Milling-haus scoring 30 points will be good news for Ole Miss.

Ole Miss and Mississippi State are two of the worst re-bounding teams in the SEC, as neither team is grabbing 50 percent of available rebounds. Ole Miss did outrebound Mis-sissippi State 47-37 in the first matchup.

Defensively, Ole Miss leads the SEC in block percentage at 18.3, but Ole Miss managed just four blocked shots last time against Mississippi State.

The Bulldogs lead the SEC in steal percentage at 12.9. Mississippi State had 11 steals against Ole Miss, including seven from Craig Sword.

The game will be televised by the SEC Network, and Ole Miss announced earlier this week that it will be a sellout.

Men’s tennis set to host ITA Kickoff McRoberts introduced as UM volleyball coach

The Ole Miss men’s tennis team looks to start the spring sea-son strong while hosting the ITA Kick-Off this weekend at the Gil-lom Sports Center.

The No. 10 Rebels have the first match of the ITA Kick-Off, hosting No. 26 Michigan Sat-urday at 10 a.m. No. 22 Illinois will play No. 23 Clemson in the next match. The winners Satur-day will advance to the regional championship at 1 p.m. Sunday. The losers will play at 9 a.m. Sun-day.

Ole Miss head coach Billy Chadwick is looking forward to seeing his team in action and sees a great opportunity in opening up the weekend against the Wolver-ines.

“We saw them two years ago when they came down here. We were hosting regionals,” Chad-wick said. “We had a tough, tough battle with them. They’re always a well-prepared team, tal-ented team, and so we’ll have our

hands full.”The team will have a great

opportunity to start the season strong this weekend playing three ranked teams.

“It’s a huge opportunity and a very important weekend for us as a team,” senior Johan Backstrom said. “All three teams coming in are really good teams. If we man-age to actually get through these two matches, that’s key for the rest of the season. It would be of huge importance for us for the rest of the season as far as rankings go.”

This past weekend, the Rebels began their spring season at the MLK Invitational In Atlanta. In the tournament, the Rebels played No. 3 Georgia, No. 21 Memphis and Georgia Tech. The Rebels picked up seven wins in singles matches and two wins in doubles matches. The team gained a lot of experience and preparation heading into this weekend.

“Our objective was to prepare for this weekend coming up,” Chadwick said. “The format of the tournament that we went

to guaranteed three singles and three doubles, and it was against great competition, so we feel like we accomplished what we want-ed to and that we are better pre-pared for this weekend.”

This weekend is the first home match for the Rebels as the team comes home and tries to get its season off to a good start against great competition.

“You are looking at four teams in this regional that are very equal,” Chadwick said. “What we have to take advantage of is that we are playing at home, and we need to make that the differ-ence in putting us over the hump. And if we get a good crowd out there, it could be the difference in us advancing to the final 16 or not.”

The winner of the four-team regional will advance to the Na-tional Team Indoor Champion-ship on Feb. 14-17 in Houston, Texas.

Ole Miss formally introduced Steven McRoberts as the seventh head coach of the Rebel volley-ball program Thursday at the Gillom Sports Center. McRob-erts was officially hired Jan. 16.

McRoberts comes to Oxford with 17 years of volleyball head coach experience at the collegiate level that has seen him successful at every stop. He inherits a team that went just 14-17 and 4-14 in Southeastern Conference play, but he is setting the bar high for his program from the start.

“We are looking forward to having success in year one,” McRoberts said. “We’re looking to be successful in the Southeast-ern Conference right away. The Southeastern Conference had eight teams make the NCAA tournament last year, so it’s our goal to be in that group next year.”

McRoberts was most recently the head coach at Tulsa, where

he accumulated a 78-24 record in three years. He also spent six years at Central Arkansas and eight years at Lubbock Christian in Texas.

Throughout his career, McRoberts has tallied a 475-161 record and recorded many achievements, including two NCAA tournament appearances, six 30-plus-win seasons, 11 con-ference championships, 10-time conference coach of the year and five All-American selections.

McRoberts is looking to get the Rebels in the top half of the SEC and into the NCAA tournament on a consistent basis and find ways to expand the volleyball fan base at Ole Miss.

“You have to win,” McRoberts said. “People like to go see win-ners. We are going to play an ex-citing style. We are going to play an up-tempo offense. Our job as coaches and players is that we give the fans a product that they want to come back and keep watching.”

Rebels look to avenge lone SEC loss vs Bulldogs

Ole Miss will look to con-tinue its three-game winning streak as the Rebels take on the last team to beat them, Mississippi State, Saturday at 3 p.m. in Tad Smith Coliseum.

Ole Miss has won its last two games on the road, and since Jan. 11, only Ole Miss and Florida have won road games in the SEC. Now, the Rebels (13-5, 4-1 SEC) return home and will look to repay Missis-sippi State for the only blemish on their conference record.

In the last meeting between these two, Mississippi State won 76-72 and got big nights from two of their forwards.

Roquez Johnson came off the bench and scored 20 points, as Ole Miss struggled to defend him in the post or when he drove. Colin Borchert added another 14 points, as he knocked down three of six 3-pointers.

But the Ole Miss offense sputtered against Mississippi State’s 1-3-1 zone defense. Against that zone, the Rebels shot just 30 percent from the field and had a turnover rate

of 28.5 percent, double their season average.

Since that game, Ole Miss has not seen a 1-3-1 zone, mainly because of senior guard Marshall Henderson’s return. Teams refuse to play zone defense against Ole Miss when he is on the floor, as they fear he will get open threes. Regardless of how Hender-son performs on Saturday, his presence will be a major fac-tor, as it will get his teammates a better matchup.

In this meeting, Mississippi State may be without start-ing point guard I.J. Ready. Ready, a freshman, left the Bulldogs’ game against Ala-bama because of headaches. Since then, Ready has missed the last two games for Missis-sippi State, both of which were home victories for the Bull-dogs. Ready scored 10 points and had four assists against Ole Miss earlier this year.

Ole Miss will have to rely on junior guard Jarvis Summers to score — as it has all season — even though Henderson re-turns. Summers is averaging 17.9 points per game, and he led Ole Miss with 23 against Mississippi State.

Henderson is averaging 18.7 points per game, as Ole Miss has two players among the top eight scorers in the SEC.

But the Rebels have also got-ten big-time production from others. Freshman forward Se-bastian Saiz scored 20 points

against LSU, although he has just four total points in the two games since then. Sophomore forward Anthony Perez had 22 points when Ole Miss knocked off South Carolina.

But rather than needing one player to have a career game,

Ole Miss is better suited for a few players to have qual-ity games, which is what Ole Miss got against Vanderbilt on Wednesday.

Perez had 13 points against
