Burdette committed to Hugh Freeze at Arkansas State and switched to Ole Miss in late January. Originally a running back, he was forced to play quarterback as a senior. He rushed for over 1,200 yards as a junior at the running back position. Listed as an athlete, he could play in the defensive secondary or at running back for the Rebels.

While some people may not know or understand eminent domain laws in Mississippi, for others it is a huge deal.  

“As of now, eminent domain allows government to take private property from people who are not willing to sell their land directly to the private corporation and use it as economic development,” Cy Rosenblatt, political science professor, said.

People for this initiative feel like the government should not be able to take private land and hand it over to private corporations.

I am writing in response to the letter to the editor from Tanner Berryhill of Waco, Texas, which appeared in The Daily Mississippian on September 30. 

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Four Ole Miss Rebels were recognized Thursday with their selection to the 2011 All-Southeastern Conference Coaches’ Preseason Football Team, including first-team honoree Bradley Sowell.

A senior from Hernando, Miss., Sowell was chosen as an offensive lineman on the preseason first team, while fellow tackle Bobby Massie, of Lynchburg, Va., was named to the third team. Senior defensive end Kentrell Lockett, of Hahnville, La., was selected to the coaches’ second unit along with junior punter Tyler Campbell of Little Rock, Ark.

In the fall of 1962, the University of Mississippi was going through one of the most important transitional phases in its long history, and Sidna Brower Mitchell, the editor-in-chief of The Mississippian, got to witness it first hand. 

Fifty years later, Mitchell is donating to the Ole Miss library many of her letters and souvenirs from her time at the paper. 

Recent allegations have cast the Oxford University transit bus system in a negative light.

Little said Baptist is committed to the plan to build within the city limits.

What began as a hobby for Patsy Engelhard less than two years ago has turned into a passion and a thriving business over the course of seven months.

Engelhard, owner of Knit1, a yarn shop located behind the Square, said that about a year and a half ago an interest in the hobby developed into a passion over the course of just 24 hours.  

“Four months after I lost my job, my sister said ‘Why don’t you try this?’ and handed me a pair of knitting needles,” she said. “And I just fell in love with it.”

As tuition rises and the economy falls, college students are having an increasingly difficult time paying for their education.

Larry D. Ridgeway, vice chancellor for student affairs, said that the University is seeing an increase in students defaulting on their loans, but added that Mississippi students were defaulting less than the national average among students.

When University of Mississippi Dean of Students Sparky Reardon first heard the idea to feed thousands of Kenyan children, he said he was skeptical.

But more than 142,000 meals were packed on Saturday at the first Ole Miss “Feed the Hunger” Pack-A-Thon, a mission to pack and send meals to starving children in Nairobi, Kenya. The event was organized by Ole Miss student Mary Katherine Perry.

The Women of Distinction luncheon originally scheduled for Nov. 9, 2010, has been rescheduled due to a lack of nominees and time to have them nominated.

The event, now planned for March 8, is hosted by the Girl Scouts Heart of the South and FNC. The luncheon will honor distinguished women of Lafayette, Grenada, Yalobusha and Panola Counties.  

The city of Oxford, Lafayette County and the Baptist Memorial Hospital-North Mississippi reached an understanding, which will allow the hospital to buy out its lease, giving them ownership of the current hospital building.

The memorandum is more formal than a verbal understanding, but more negotiations remain before any legal documents will be signed.
