He is just referencing what is said in the article. The statement in the article he is refering to is worded terribly by the way.

State gets more out of state students because many of our departments aren't present in other states. My girlfriend is in Broadcast Meteorology and because no school in Tennessee offers it she gets out of state waved. This is the case with that department as well as engineering and the Vetrinary college. Added to the fact that the Engineerig College has built a pretty big name for itself through Eco-Car challenges, CAVS research, and the extensive work that CAVS does with vehicles (like magnesium engine parts for Corvette).

Probably, unfortunately there just aren't that many kids graduating high school with the intent to go to a 4 year school in MS. And a lot of the ones who do are forced on you through federal aid programs and will flunk out in the first year anyway.

Says the guy who is painting OM as racist because of one flag in a picture.

How many times have you been to the grove? Or Oxford for that matter?

Please go ingest rat poison.

View the slideshow attached to the article. They still fly confederate flags in the Grove proudly.



It's not as common as you may think, but yes there are people who do.

Yep. The confederate flag definitely is only racist and has zero meaning to anyone besides hatin black people. There is definitely no other history associated with it anywhere.



Regardless of the history attached to it, when the Klan uses it as a symbol, people are going to associate it with racism. It is what it is.

The fact that 15% of the student body is black but there are virtually zero represented in the Grove is not something else to be proud of, IMO.



FWIW, I agree.

We've come a long way but, for a multitude of pretty complex reasons, black people by and large do not feel particularly "a part of" Ole Miss.

It's similar to white churches vs. black churches. It's also probably no different to what is going on at most other schools in the country. (I mean, don't act like Arkansas doesn't have "white fraternities".)

Why don't you take confederate flags to State games then, if it's just an issue of "southern pride"?

I've got work to do anyway.

Good luck on your test. Pass that shite so you can enjoy your weekend while we stomp a hole in Auburn's arse.
