Is Chivalry Dead on our College Campus?
The University of Mississippi is known for its Southern Hospitality and southern charm among students and faculty but, does that hospitality and charm exist within relationships? Modern day chivalry on college campuses seem to appear more than recognized, yet many couples feel that it is still not shown enough.
Is Chivalry Dead? What do you think?
Video Script
Tirranny Nettles: On the University campus, I asked several students and faculty members, one dotting question? Is Chivalry Dead?
Norris Edney: I believe that chivalry is dead.
Tirranny Nettles: Is Chivalry dead?
Natalie Moore: I don’t think that its dead, I just think that its very hard to come by in a person now-a-days.
Tirranny Nettles: Is Chivalry dead?
Ariel Rodgers: Yes
Tirranny Nettles: Is Chivalry dead?
Betsy Woodhouse: Yes it is
Jake Grier: No
Tirranny Nettles: Now why do we feel this way? How is it shown?
Natalie Moore: With today’s culture it’s just very hard to come by a guy that represents everything that chivalry is. So it would be the perfect man.
Betsy Woodhouse: Well sometimes you open the door for me but not always, like when we are getting in the car you don’t.
Jake Grier: I cant, that’s, that’s different though.
Betsy Woodhouse: I disagree with that
Jake Grier: A car door
Betsy Woodhouse: I see old people doing it all the time
Jake Grier: That’s old people
Tirranny Nettles: Do you think it’s understood in the relationship?
Jake Grier: I think it’s important to show it, practice it.
Betsy Woodhouse: I think it’s understood these days, so.
Tirranny Nettles: Are you in a relationship?
Norris Edney: I am
Tirranny Nettles: How often do you acts of chivalry?
Norris Edney: I open every door, not every car door
Scarlett Cunningham: There is something that you will come in contact with if you look at feminist science, feminist blogging. Its called the “Nice Guy Phenomenon”, ok, so what that means is, what do we think of when we think of chivalry, we think it terms of niceness, right? We think in terms of , well the nice guy finishes last with the girl, ok. But the thing is, is that are we constructed in culture to be nice because we are genuinely nice people or is it to get somewhere, to a particular end? So the argument is that how do you redefine chivalry?
Tirranny Nettles: and with this, we assume Chivalry is in the eye of the beholder.

Highlighting Summer Academy
Are you a High School student seeking to advance in your curriculum while experiencing college life? The University of Mississippi Division of Outreach and Continuous Education’s Summer Academy Program allows High School students to earn Carnegie units toward graduation and Experience Amazing at Ole Miss.
The Summer Academy program is offered to rising eighth, ninth and tenth graders who wish to receive high school credits on a college campus. Students participate in three week sessions where they meet new friends, gain a full college, on-campus living experience and take courses such as SAT/ACT Prep, creative writing, and personal finance. All courses offered by the Summer Academy are listed in the Mississippi curriculum framework but may not be offered in every high school curricula across the state. Participants earn a 1/2 Carnegie unit that will be counted by their high school toward elective graduation requirements.
“The program offers such diversity for students: from international students, students of different socioeconomic statuses, and students of different cultures. They are given an opportunity to meet new kinds of people, people they’d never meet if they hadn’t participated” said Lauren Wright, Summer Academy Counselor.
Classes typically last for six hours on Monday- Friday, 8am to 3pm, with a window for a lunch break. Students also participate in weekend and evening activities such as Oxford Shakespeare Festival, Summer Concerts and other campus events.
“I always see those students walking in packs to class” jokes, Erica Hampton, a junior at the University, “I had the opportunity to partake in a similar program during my younger days, so I know how much they will appreciate the program later on.”

Highlighting the Higher Education Masters Degree Program
|
Tirranny: Basically, I’m trying to grasp the concept of the Higher Ed. Degree offered here. I’m really interested in the diversity of Undergraduate Students that choose to get a degree in Higher Education. So if we can discuss that. And why you choose that? What you plan on doing with it? And the emphasis, maybe, that you will take with the degree.
Tirranny: Thank you so much Ms. Jones for doing this interview. Can you tell me a little about yourself?
Antoinette: Thank you Ms. Nettles. My name is Antoinette Jones; I am education major here at the University of Mississippi. I am from Batesville, Mississippi and I chose to come to Ole Miss, due to the diversity that they’ve had in the past couple of years.
Tirranny: Ok great. And so, you’re an Elementary Education major. Do you plan on getting any graduate degrees before leaving the University or anywhere else for that matter?
Antoinette: Yes I do. I actually plan on getting a Masters in Higher Ed. As well as a PhD, if time allows me to get it in Higher Ed., not only Higher Ed. But I want to do elementary, secondary and Higher Ed. So that way I’ll be certified in all sections of education.
Tirranny: Ok well working with the Higher Ed. Department here, if you do plan on getting your graduate degree here, why would you choose Ole Miss for a Higher Ed. Degree?
Antoinette: Choosing Ole Miss for a Higher Ed. Degree would be much more appropriate for me because I’ve talked to many of my professors here and they have, themselves, pursued a degree here at the University up in a Higher Level Education and they, they have encouraged me to continue to further my education because Ole Miss is one of the most outstanding schools, as far as getting teachers on the same level as the Mississippi plan for no leaving, leaving no child behind, as well as, helping everyone get to their Post-Ed, post high school education.
Tirranny: Ok. Thank you so much.
