The many problems with USM’s newest residence community, Century Park, have caused students to wonder if it’s worth the $2500 they spend to live in the halls. The problems have not gone unnoticed, however, and the dorms will undergo maintenance over fall break.
Since school began, residents have experienced many difficulties living the new buildings. “The light above the shower fell down as my roommate was about to get in,” said Casey Polk, a freshman Luckyday Scholar who lives in Century Park. “The room across the hall had the shelf fall down in the closet. Century Park was built way too quick.” The buildings have experienced mishaps like these, but the resi-
dents on the fourth floor of Century Park 2 had an even bigger problem on their hands: unbearable amounts of humidity constantly flooded their rooms at the beginning of the semester. “I would come in the room after a day of school and go to put stuff on my bed, and as soon as I touched the comforter I noticed it was damp,” said Jamie Jelinski, another resident of Century Park.

USM’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors met Thursday to discuss whether the recently announced appeals process coincides with AAUP guidelines. A national association of university and college faculty established in 1915, the AAUP strives to protect professors from unfair treatment. The association produces investigative reports on university violations of tenure and academic freedom. On Thursday the USM AAUP discussed and voted on resolutions for the issues surrounding the recent budget cuts. “These are scary and dire times – and we need to find ways to make sure we fulfill our mission of education and research, but not at the expense of shared governance, tenure and academic freedom,” said Amy Young, secretary of USM’s AAUP, member of the faculty senate and associate professor of anthropology. The appeals, which will begin Oct. 18, will be heard by a ninemember appeals panel. According to a draft from the provost of the appeals process, the panel will consist of a representative of the Faculty Senate, a representative of the Academic Council, a representative of the Graduate Council, a representative of the Gulf Coast Faculty Council, and the University Ombudsman, along with four of the deans of the academic colleges. The panel will hear program appeals first and then individual faculty appeals. Members of USM’s AAUP expressed concern over the revelation that the deans who proposed the cuts to the UPC will now be involved in the appeals process, allowing them to “play both sides.” Tammy Greer, AAUP president, said that with appeals being two weeks away, the organization needed to focus on that. “We need to tackle the issue of administrators on the appeals committee because that’s inappropriate,” Greer said. Greer also said that Provost Lyman said there was no reason for an all-faculty committee.

Police arrest intruder in sorority Village Mary Margaret Halford Printz Writer Early Thursday morning, police were dispatched to the gated Village parking area after receiving a call about a suspicious man lurking around cars in the lot. Johnna Bush, a senior who lives in the Village, was awakened by police informing her that a man had been caught trying to steal her car. Chief of the University Police Department Bob Hopkins said he received a report of a suspicious man at Fraternity Row, and shortly thereafter received another call from a security guard in the Village about the same man. “Our campus security officer saw the man jump the fence and start looking in car windows,” Hopkins said. “We sent officers to the scene and when we confronted him, he ran. After a brief chase with help from the Hattiesburg Police, we caught up with him and arrested him.” Bush said and Hopkins men-
AAUP, from 1
Young said the deans made a list of the university’s expenses, not to cut the mentioned programs but rather to give a basic idea of what the expenses were. “The deans didn’t want to cut academics,” Young said. At the AAUP meeting on Sept. 16, English professor Ellen Weinauer,
tioned that while police caught the man who attempted to steal Bush’s car, the man’s accomplices, who had awaited him in a car nearby, drove away. Bush also commented on feeling uncomfortable with the situation. “There was no damage to my car,” Bush said, “but we still aren’t exactly sure how he got in.” Officer Hopkins said offenses like this seem to be rare in the Village. “Things have been relatively quiet out there,” Hopkins said. “We’ve dealt with a few trespassing issues but nothing this serious.” Hopkins added that so far this year, there has only been one other car burglary situation. It was in Pine Haven, and an arrest was made. Although situations like this are not happening often, residents of the Village seem to agree that something more should be done to protect their safety and their possessions. Erin Johnson, president of Chi Omega sorority, believes that maintaining safety in the Village is up to the residents themselves. “I think that the Village has membership chair of USM’s AAUP, said, “I think Saunders has demonstrated that she does want to follow AAUP guidelines.” At the meeting the group drafted a letter to send to the provost and the board of the Institute of Higher Learning. The letter reads,

potential to be very safe because of the gated area in the back,” Johnson said. “But sometimes there are problems with the gate.” Johnson also said that sorority members should do their part to ensure the safety of themselves and each other. “Sorority members
should work on being proactive by keeping their cars locked and not leaving valuables in plain sight,” Johnson said. “We need to work to not prop doors open and things like that so everyone is secure.” Bush also had ideas about how to make the Village safer.
“We swipe our ID cards to get in the parking lot, but I feel like we should swipe to get out, too,” Bush said. “It makes me pretty uncomfortable to know that a man could just hop the fence and get in, but I also feel very thankful that the security guard was watching outside.”
“Whereas the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has long represented the best practices promoting the quality of institutions of higher learning not only in the United States but around the world through the pillars of academic freedom,
shared governance, and tenure; And whereas the proposed appeals process of the Executive Cabinet of the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) violates these best practices; Therefore be it resolved that AAUP-USM stands opposed to the Procedure for Program Elimination and Faculty Termination Appeals process of the USM Executive Cabinet that impairs the institution’s abil-
ity to fulfill its educational mission. AAUP-USM resolves that no person involved in the original decisionmaking process should serve on the appeals committee. We urge that program appeals be heard by an all-faculty body, as directed by AAUP policy and guidelines, which operates on the principle of educational merit rather than offering fiscal alternatives.”
Century Park, from 1 “Several of my posters and papers would curl off the wall because it was so wet.” Associate Vice President of Student Affairs and Interim Director of Residence Life Sid Gonsoulin said approximately 10 of the 464 Century Park rooms had humidity problems. Maintenance men immediately began to place dehumidifiers in the rooms as Residence Life went to work righting these wrongs. Gonsoulin said such problems are not unusual with brand new buildings. “Buildings are built by people – humans,” he said. “And people aren’t perfect. They make mistakes.” Many of the small problems experienced by Century Park are to be expected during the first six months that a building goes up, and Res Life is doing their best to fix the bigger problems as quickly as possible, Gonsoulin said. Excessive humidity is the first dilemma they are tackling. “We’ve done a temporary fix,” Gonsoulin said. “Outside air was coming in from the attic, so rooms on the fourth floor had a negative pressure. Every building
you build should have a positive pressure. We super-pressurized all of Century Park and are now working to find a solution as to why air is coming from the attics.” Gonsoulin said they hope to complete a permanent fix over fall break. They plan to go through and replace the electronic air filters used in Century Park while students are away. Gonsoulin said they don’t know whether or not this is causing the problem, but it is taking a step in the right direction of fixing it. The many problems have Century Park residents speculating whether they will receive refunds. “If our staff had not been diligent we would have considered a refund,” Gonsoulin said. “But they continue to do everything they can.” Outside sources from Baton Rouge as well as the building’s architects and designers are investigating Century Park’s problem. “I’m much more comfortable now,” Jelinski said. “Every time Century Park thinks there’s a problem they go in and fix it, even if it’s a lot of work.”

Fans can report bad behavior via text Earvin Hopkins Printz Writer
Myesha Arrington/Printz
You’re already texting during the game; now you can text to report bad behavior.
Fans texting during the game may be using their phones to inform Southern Miss authorities of unruly behavior. Those in the stadium who have texting can now send a message to a number that is posted throughout the stadium. This message is forwarded to campus police in the Command Post where they review and then dispatch the responsible department to address the concern. Project coordinator at the National Center for Spectator Sports Safety and Security at Southern Miss Rickey Bradley said the company Guest Assist furnished Southern Miss with this text capability at no cost to the university. “Guest Assist gives the fans the comfort of added security,” Bradley said. “But it also lends itself to answer any questions or concerns fans may have such as parking situations, specific location, medical needs, handicap requests and important weather alerts; this means our fans are happier and can focus on the event.” A fan in need of assistance should text the keyword “usm” to 78247. That message should also include the location and
nature of the unruly behavior along with a brief description of the party involved. Examples of texts they received so far concern alcohol, smoking in the stands, ticketing issues, fan disturbances, medical issues and more. The campus police are able to respond back to the “texting reporter” with several canned messages that are available through the system such as “message received.” The system is another avenue for sporting fans to report issues of concern. It allows them to report anonymously and quickly. Because it goes directly to the Command Post, they can easily identify the area of the concern and dispatch appropriate personnel and easily respond back to the person who was concerned, letting him or her know that action has been taken. Southern Miss student Whitney Tanner had a beer can thrown at her during Saturday’s game. Although Tanner didn’t have to report the assault because Southern Miss authorities were already on it, she said the texting system comforts her. “Yes, I do feel safer,” Tanner said. “If something happens in the stands to someone, then they are right there taking care of the situation. I think being able
to text unruly behavior was a very good idea. The visible presence of the police from a text makes the crowd feel safer, and it also makes unruly people think twice before they get too out of hand.” University Police chief Bob Hopkins said the new system is one of the best choices for Southern Miss. “In these times of financial restrictions and limited resources, any tool that allows for an additional avenue of contact between fans and stadium operations is a positive one,” Hopkins said. “Since texting is now a major communications tool in today’s society, it is an obvious choice on game day to allow for quick access to stadium officials to help make the game day experience a positive one.” Southern Miss is one of the three dozen universities to join this trend. Florida, Oklahoma, Michigan and Auburn are others that have started using the new texting system at football games. The text system is also scheduled for use during Southern Miss basketball games at Reed Green Coliseum and baseball games at Pete Taylor Park. For more information about the system, contact Rickey Bradley at 601-266-6183.

Parking: it’s not rocket science Jonathan Andrews Printz Writer Before I begin, yes, I’m certainly aware that larger problems presently face our university. Honestly, though, does that mean the smaller ones should fall to the wayside? Parking at USM is still a problem, however. Simply too many spaces are allotted to the faculty and staff population. Parking seems to be one of many things that the university can’t quite find that sweet spot on fixing. This year, the university tried to put another bandaid on the problem by giving a little extra help to the people who help make the university run. But at what cost? If you are a commuter, you will definitely know what I’m talking about in the following scenario. You’re running late. It’s 8:52 a.m. and if you could just find a parking space you’d make it to that 9 o’clock before your history
professor locks the door. While you’re driving around the obviously full commuter section of the theater and dance parking lot, you see that on the faculty/ staff side, there is an abundance of free space, and the parallel parking zone beside that parking lot is empty with the exception of one solitary car. (It always is.) A dilemma! Do you park in the faculty/staff zone and run the risk of being ticketed or do you play it safe, waste five or so minutes, and drive to the dust bowl, probably ending up late to class anyway? I say you take that chance. There is obviously an over-allotment of parking spaces to faculty and staff. I understand the desire of the university to feel like they are taking care of these integral people in our university’s organization, but without students able to arrive on time to class, who are they teaching? The theater and dance parking lot is not the only one that illustrates this situation. The parking lot in the old triad area (Bond, Vann and Scott) is one of the others that was re-purposed to provide parking for faculty and staff members, since residents no longer have to park there. Drive through that lot at basi-
cally any time during the day, and you are sure to see a lot of empty spaces simply going unused. Meanwhile, across the street in the Pride Field lot, some commuter is stalking another through the parking lot trying to see if they are going to their car to move it... Or if they are just going to get a book out of it. (It happens.) There obviously needs to be a reevaluation of the parking situation at USM. I cannot tell you exactly what T:7.71” should happen, because I don’t have the numbers to
back up any claims that I make. What I do know is that something is broken. When that’s the case, usually, one should go to fix it. Parking is, by no means, a new problem for USM. It should be a science by now. But we’re close. The parking garage will (hopefully) serve as the be-all, end-all solution that Southern Miss needs, but the problem we have right now can be fixed with another band-aid, and we know how much decisionmakers here like to use those. Give commuters some of
those faculty/staff spaces. I know it may seem like kicking sand on the faces of people who work here, but people who drive here from an hour away are tired of being swept under the rug, too. Oh, and the Pride needs parking on game day, but that’s another column. This was an article of opinion by Jonathan Andrews, a writer for The Student Printz.

Dracula: ballet with a bite Local
Hannah Jones Printz Writer
Movies like “Twilight”, television shows like “True Blood” and novelists like Anne Rice have all become household names thanks to the current vampire craze. Even the ballet world has put a twist on the blood-sucking phenomenon that has recently taken a bite out of popular culture. The South Mississippi Ballet Theatre will be performing “Dracula,” an adaptation of Bram Stocker’s classic vampire tale. The show opens Oct. 15 at the Saenger Theatre in downtown Hattiesburg. Dmitry Kanibolotskiy, a professionally trained Russian ballet dancer will star in the production in the role of Dracula. One of “Dracula’s” directors, Arkadiy Orohovsky, will star as Jonathon alongside 40 other dancers and actors from across South Mississippi. The cast includes two students from USM. Katya Orohovsky, the director and ballet mistress over South Mississippi Ballet Theatre, and her husband, Arkadiy Orohovsky, the artistic director of SMBT are the brains behind the production of “Dracula.” After taking the reigns
over SMBT this past summer, the Orohovskys specifically had “Dracula” in mind when deciding which ballet to produce first. “We both felt this would be a perfect ballet to start with,” Katya said. “There are no tutus or tights in this ballet. It is a true drama ballet that appeals to not only ballet enthusiast, but theater enthusiasts as well.” Though Katya and Arkadiy are excited about the production, they also have some concerns. “With this being a conservative community, we went out on a limb by producing this as our first ballet,” Katya said. “The way we present the ballet is very conservative in nature. Although it deals with very heavy topics, the ballet can be enjoyed by all ages.” Because “Dracula” is originally a literary work, it traditionally focuses on communicating with the reader through words rather than visuals. However, ballet is an art form that is centered on visual interpretation rather than spoken word, so creating a smooth transition from book to ballet proved to be quite a challenge for Katya and Arkadiy Orohovsky. “When you have a book that is so detail-oriented, you must pick and choose the parts to highlight and the parts to leave out,” Katya
said. “We tried to combine a little bit of the history, the novel and classic interpretations.” This particular production of “Dracula” heavily relies on Brahm Stoker’s historical figure of Vlad Dracula. After Dracula discovers his wife has mysteriously died, he is so heartbroken that he swears vengeance and becomes a damned sole, or vampire. Fast forward 400 years, Dracula sees a photograph of a woman who closely resembles his deceased wife. Dracula then becomes obsessed with her and in a climatic duel, must fight for her love in a passionate battle of good versus evil. Yvonne Bergeron, the founding Artistic Director of Pine Belt Ballet, which now operates as South Mississippi Ballet Theatre, is excited about viewing the production as a regular ticket-holder. “With this being the first production under the direction of Katya and Arkadiy, I’m really looking forward to this performance without seeing it through the rehearsal process,” she said. Tickets for the production can be purchased at the Saenger Theatre box office, online at www.hattiesburgsaenger.com, or by phone at 601-466-4554.

Penalties set Eagles back Football
Cade Morrow Printz Writer
Southern Miss was able to score 43 points against the East Carolina only to fall one point short of the Pirates on Saturday night. The Eagles looked dominant in many facets during the game so the result begs the question, “Where did the Eagles go wrong?” Southern Miss out-gained the Pirates 404 yards to 338 yards of offense. They controlled the time of possession battle, having the ball for 37 minutes. USM didn’t turn the ball over once, and East Carolina turned the ball over four times. Coach Fedora said he believes that penalties were the ultimate downfall of his team on Saturday night. Southern Miss was penalized 15 times for 153 yards, falling just short of the school record of 155. “I tried to calm them down
constantly,” Fedora said. “Those are the things that are selfish and hurt the football team. I do not care what someone does to you – you cannot retaliate because you will be the one to get caught every time.” One East Carolina drive really stuck out to Coach Fedora. “I know we gave up about 60 yards of penalties on one drive, and that was crucial and very selfish,” Fedora said. On that drive, the Pirates and the Eagles got into a scrum on the sidelines where the referees believed a punch was thrown by linebacker Korey Williams. Williams was ejected from the game and two personal foul penalties were assessed on the Golden Eagles. Later in the game, Martez Smith left the game with an injury, leaving Southern Miss to finish the game missing two of their three starting linebackers. “Those were two huge losses,” Fedora said. “Both those guys

make plays for us throughout the game, and we lost both of them. That’s where other guys have to step up and make plays. Whether they are a starter or not, they have to prepare themselves to make plays in the game, and we did not do that.” Defensive back Justin Wilson was one of the defensive players that had to go out there and play without two of his defensive leaders. Wilson was disappointed in the one point loss.
“Nobody likes to lose and to lose by one point – it just hurts,” Wilson said. Quarterback Austin Davis said he believes that the penalties hurt but the offense’s inefficiency was the ultimate downfall of the team on Saturday. “Penalties are generally going to happen when you are competing and playing hard, and some of those are unavoidable,” Davis said. “I don’t think necessarily penalties are the reason
we didn’t win; we just didn’t get it done. We didn’t make the plays when we had the opportunity to make plays on offense, and we came up short.” Southern Miss will have to regroup for their contest against Memphis next week. “I could not be any more disappointed that we lost the game,” Fedora said. “It might be different if we did not have many opportunities to win the game, but I am disappointed.”
