Mississippi Gulf Coast experiencing much success
One of the main aspects of the Mississippi Delta (in my view)
is that the Delta is almost a state within a state. By that,
I mean that the Delta looks different, feels different, thinks
and acts differently, and because of our “flatness”
looks different. Even from 20,000 feet above the Delta one
can see the “difference”. Our accents are also
different than accents in Tupelo, Jackson, Columbus.
The Mississippi Gulf Coast is the other “state within
a state” in Mississippi. There are no other regions
like the Delta and the Coast in our state that are so clearly
identifiable.

The real scandal is
not a corporate one
BY JACK CRISS
DBJ Executive Editor
Politicians on both sides of the aisle are wailing about
giant corporations right now. It’s quite fashionable.
Of course, because of the Enron and WorldCom fiascos, it’s
bordering on hysteria and nutty hyperbole.
There has always been an undeniable bias against big business
in this country. From the incredibly burdensome regulations
placed on it by the government (such as anti-trust) to the
outlandish caricatures of it promulgated by Hollywood (“Wall
Street” or any movie that needs a villain), big business
is always the bad guy. Never mind the fact that government
exists because it is financed by taxation (the majority of
which comes from corporations), or that Joe Public goes to
the movies with money earned at a business. The very notion
of commerce is deemed dirty.

Chancellor Robert Khayat
Guiding Ole Miss with a wise and
compassionate hand
 BY

DBJ Contributing Writer
Colonel Reb may be the symbol for the University of Mississippi,
but certainly no other person has been more synonymous with
the school’s image than Robert Khayat. And for good
reason.
One cannot talk with the man who has been chancellor at Ole
Miss at Oxford since 1995 for long without the university
coming up in the conversation. Preferring to shy away from
personal stories and accolades, Khayat becomes animated when
discussing what’s taking place on campus, or what students
he’s recently visited with.
The first Ole Miss graduate to hold the position of chancellor
in the school’s history, Khayat obviously loves the
school with the passion and pride of a father. It shows in
his words and it shows in his actions.
