NewsWatch: Behind the Scenes

The University of Mississippi puts on a live, student run broadcast that airs Monday through Friday at 5:30 on Channel 99. The half hour show, News Watch, is the only local newscast for Ole Miss, Oxford, and Lafayette County. The broadcast is repeated each evening at 10 o'clock PM on Channel 99 as well.

Anna Ellingburg, a junior at Ole Miss and veteran to NewsWatch, refused to let her freshmen status stop her from joinging the NewsWatch team.

“Well, I actually came into Newswatch for my first time my freshmen year to try out, and it seemed like there were only juniors and seniors in here, and as a freshmen, I was pretty nervous. Once I got in, I realized there’s a big mixture of classmen here,” said Ellingburg.

NewsWatch provides students with hands-on experience, as well as compensation, for the anchors, sports anchors, producers, reporters, camera operators, directors, and more.

“I really think that getting involved in the SMC is really important because there are things in journalism that you can’t learn from a text book or even from a professor just talking to you. The SMC really provides that for you,” said Ellingburg.

Lindsey Neyman, producer for NewsWatch, values the experience she gains at work everyday.

“As the producer, it can get a little stressful at times. It’s a tedious job, but I love it. I would never get the experience I need for this kind of field without getting out and doing it. This isn’t preparing for the real world; it is the real world,” said Neyman.

Auditions for NewsWatch are held at the beginning of each semester in Bishop Hall in the Student Media Center. To preview past broadcasts from NewsWatch, visit http://www.youtube.com/user/NewsWatchOleMiss

Summer in Argentina? print only

Summer in Argentina?

Wouldn’t it be nice to spend the summer abroad on the beach while getting some school credits out of the way? This sounds very appealing to most people, and the study abroad office can make this possible for any student interest.

The Study Abroad Office is planning a very exciting summer for University students. Programs range from travel with UM faculty to weeks spent with students from all over the world. Students can travel to study in a large city or a more secluded small area.

The Study Abroad Office is offering 33 different locations for students to study. Each location consists of 1 or more schools for the student to apply to. The locations vary all over the world from Latin American to China. The program offers almost anywhere a student would want to go or at least somewhere very close to the students desired location. "It was really hard for me to decide where I wanted to go, but I knew anywhere I chose was not going to be a bad decision," says Betsy Lynch, senior student at Ole Miss.

Studying abroad through Ole Miss is an opportunity many people will never get to have especially with the program’s financial status. Students can study in another country for the price of their normal University tuition. It is almost impossible to go to another country for the price of tuition. The financial part makes studying abroad an opportunity most cannot turn down. "Once students realize what an amazing opportunity they can have and for the price, it is almost impossible to say no," say Blair McElroy, study abroad advisor.

Students can go for just a month or the whole entire summer. Some trips are led by faculty and others are completely independent led. Depending on where the student decides to go, he can usually decide which way he wants to spend his trip.

The deadline for summer abroad is April 6. All students should hurry into the abroad office and book a opportunity that will change their summer forever.

Long Lines, an Even Longer Wait for an End

If you have stopped by the Student Union around noon for lunch, you've seen it: the incredibly long lines for all the places at the food court and the even longer one at the Subway upstairs. For many students, this causes them to choose either being late to class or going hungry.

For some freshman, incoming students, and some upperclassmen who choose to stay at the University of Mississippi for graduate school, this may not be the case in a couple of years. The reason is because Ole Miss has begun putting plans together for a $50 million project that will expand and renovate the Student Union.

The University has taken it's time getting a plan together to expand the Union because there were more presssing projects to take of first, according to Director of Facilities Planning Ian Banner.

"I hope they increase the lounge area and give more food options," Freshman Alicia Gregory said when asked what she hoped an expanded Student Union will entail.

Although it is early in the planning process, Banner says he hopes to make the expansion to the "backside" of the Union to help give it four "front sides" that face every direction.

Banner says he believe the Union is the "heart of the campus and student life" and hopes that with the expansion we can bring it back to its rightful prominence. For more information about the Student Union expansion, check out this video.
