Documenting the Ku Klux Klan Michelle Holowach Printz Writer For the past 13 years USM alumnus James Edward Bates has been working on a photography project documenting the Ku Klux Klan – a group that is still very much alive and active in the South. On April 18 the photojournalist will bring this piece of history to USM that may be met with surprise, shock and even anger. His revolutionary work has been displayed in France, London and Scotland, but The University of Southern Mississippi will be its first stopping place in America. “People would like to believe that the KKK doesn’t exist, and we don’t have this kind of hate groups in the United States,” said Christopher Campbell, chair of the School for Mass Communication and Journalism. “And so I think
that by having this exhibit on campus, we’re interested in generating conversation and dialogue about the fact that these things do exist and what does that mean.” Growing up in McComb, Miss., Bates was well aware of the racial issues still prevalent in his hometown, and this planted the first seed of interest in beginning his long-term photography project documenting a very terrorizing – yet very real – part of our culture. “I was hoping to find something that I could work on for a very long time to hopefully make a substantial contribution to society,” Bates said. When Bates first entered USM he was majoring in advertisement, but after taking a photography class under now retired photojournalism professor Ed Wheeler, he discovered where his real passion lay.

Rising gas prices generate boycott Earvin Hopkins Printz Writer
Zachary Odom/Printz
Sam Lee, a freshman theater major, pumps gas at a local station Wedneday.
Gas prices have soared recently, and in response to that, today is “No Gas Day,” a day that was created to boycott gas for one day to potentially help lower gas prices. The message is being spread on Facebook through a group created by Sarah Thompson, a stay at home mom from Greensboro, N.C. So far, the event has almost 2 million official participants. Thompson talked about why she created this group that’s causing so much buzz around the world. “I created this group because we had a very tough month in our family financially,” Thompson said. “I had to go out of town for my father’s surgery, and with the extra high prices in the grocery store, also due to high gas prices, it completely wiped us out. The oil company profits are so much more than other commodity companies take for themselves, pure greed.”
Thompson went on to talk about her goal for this “No Gas Day.” “My major goal with this event was never thinking that we were going to make gas prices plummet because of this one day,” she said. “I wanted to raise awareness and start a dialogue to wake everyone up. I want this to be a wakeup call for us and for them.” Senior paralegal studies major Shardae Foley is participating by not buying gas on Thursday. “I do feel Sarah’s story, and also I do understand that the oil companies must make a profit, but as a consumer I can better relate to her story and that is why I am not buying gas on today,” Foley said. “I want our voices to be heard and who knows, we could actually make a difference. “I know people are saying we couldn’t possibly make a huge difference, but every little bit counts. This would also remind the oil companies that we control their profits and that they need to be a little more considerate of increasing prices so
dramatically.” Senior English major Marge Turner supports the event, but has reservations. “I commend Sarah for striving to make a difference; it is an admirable idea and for those that are participating I hope that it does render some success,” Turner said. “However, I feel like Debbie Downer; if we all neglect to buy gas on that one day, all that accomplishes is that one day. We’ll still have to buy gas the day before or the day after. I hope we can take Sarah’s initiative and find a more effective long-term solution.” Thompson said, “We are people and not just words on a piece of paper. This means that in numbers we can accomplish our goals of a greater good for ourselves and our planet. United we stand, divided, we will fall.” In response to “No Gas Thursday,” another Facebook user created an official “No Gas Week” that also starts Thursday, created for those who feel strongly about the rising gas prices.
Garage sale to fund USM history club Deonica Davis Printz Writer
Phi Alpha Theta, USM’s history honor society, will be hosting a garage sale Saturday in efforts to raise money for the upcoming College of Arts and Letters Conference. The organization got help from professors in the history department as well as their own members to donate items worth selling such as dorm accessories and clothes. “It
will be very interesting to see what our professors decide to donate,” said Stephanie Seal, vice president of Phi Alpha Theta. “Needless to say this garage sale will be full of eclectic and interesting items.” Seal, history major from Poplarville, has been a member of Phi Alpha Theta for two years. She described the organization as one that focuses on history research and history academic excellence. Ruth Poe, history and psychology
double major and also a member of Phi Alpha Theta, said the money from the garage sale will also provide stability in the long run for the organization. “Our fundraisers allow us not only to maintain a functioning, active organization of students interested in history but also provide students with opportunities to present papers in conferences.” The garage sale will also help fund Phi Alpha Theta’s Spring Initiation in April. According to Mary
Dennis, president of the organization, this is a time for receiving new members into Phi Alpha Theta and fundraisers like the garage sale will provide financial cushion to these future members and any events they plan. Dennis herself will be donating a bowling ball and clothes to the efforts of the garage sale and can’t wait to see what the professors contribute. The garage sale will take place at 111 Short Bay St. in Hattiesburg at
the home of history professor Phyllis Jestice. The members invite all students to come out and shop as well as ask questions if they’re interested in the organization. “We will have a wide range of items available,” Poe said. “So, if you’re looking for clothes, furniture, or anything else please stop by! There will be lots to choose from.” For more information contact Mary Dennis at marydennis1066@ yahoo.com.

‘A valediction forbidding mourning’ Beloved English professor says goodbye to Southern Miss
Michelle Holowach Printz Writer In 1978, The University of Southern Mississippi hired a young man fresh out of graduate school holding a Ph.D. in English and a heart full of passion for the subject he would be teaching for the next 33 years. In 2011, USM is going to say goodbye to one of its most beloved professors, Dr. Stanley Hauer, as he takes his leave of Southern Miss and ventures into the world of retirement, leaving behind him a legacy. When Hauer began his undergraduate education at Auburn University, he was a communications major. Everything changed, though, his sophomore year of college when he took British Literature and realized his love for English. “I note that the call to the teaching is something like the call to the priesthood ... It was like a religious experience that I realized this is what I wanted to do,” Hauer said of his revelation. “I called my father, and I told him, and he said, ‘Son, are you sure?’ And he said with ab-
solutely no malice, ‘Then you can’t come home anymore.’ And I didn’t see him for 10 years. ... So I had a deep and profound commitment to what I was doing.”

After receiving his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Auburn, he went on to obtain a doctorate from The University of Tennessee, and then his journeys brought him to the doorstep of Southern Miss. Since that time this university has become his home and his students, his family.
Getting to know the students has been the most rewarding part of teaching for Hauer. “I’m going to miss being around these students. They’re family. And I hope they will call me and visit me and not forget me,” he said. Although he loves all of his classes, Hauer said his favorite has been history of the language. “In my history of the language class, once a week students submit cards containing the etymology of a word,” Hauer said. “And it’s a contest, and I give a point to their final average to the student who has the best card each week. And to sort of commemorate that I give them a stuffed animal, that we call etymology bears. On the last day of class last semester the students presented me with that.” Dr. Hauer went into a closet and pulled out a giant, stuffed teddy bear and a large canvas note card that defined the word “Stanley Hauer” as being the best professor at USM. “I was profoundly touched,” he said. “I confess I cried a little bit.” Joel Huber, a junior and one of Hauer’s students, said that what he
is going to miss most about Hauer is his genuineness. “Hauer sincerely cares about the education and welfare of his students, and consequentially, about their success,” he said. “I’ve learned a lot from the students,” Hauer said. “I’ve learned that they’ll do anything for you if they see that you love them. … They gotta see that you care, and it can’t be faked.” When asked if there was any particular reason Hauer was saying farewell to his USM home, he merely said, “It’s time to retire. But also the financial incentive cannot be turned down; it’s just too good. I never thought I’d retire at 60; that seems absurdly young. But it’s time to make room for new blood.” One of Hauer’s favorite memories at the university was the building of the Liberal Arts Building in 1999. He said that it was the greatest challenge he had ever faced, and he enjoyed every minute of it. He said he also enjoyed doing inaugurations for presidents Flemming and Saunders. Hauer said he will also miss the university’s congeniality. “Hav-
ing a place where you know you’re wanted and appreciated, that sense of purpose,” he said. In his retirement, Hauer is looking forward to being able to read more and “playing with the dog and grandchildren.” He assures us that he is not gone for good, though, because after all this is home for him. “I intend to stay around,” he said, “I’m going to teach a little bit when they want me. Dr. Saunders says she has plans for me. I want to work with the lifelong learning institute; I want to stay busy. That’s very important.” Tessa Willoughby, a freshman English major, says that the university is going to lose a lot in saying farewell to Hauer. “He is one heck of a guy,” she said. “I wish I could have been here sooner just so I could have gotten as much knowledge as I could from this man.” “I surely have enjoyed working here,” Hauer said. “It’s been an honor.” And it has surely been an honor for The University of Southern Mississippi to have in its community such a beloved professor of English.

KKK, from 1 “He had what I called a good eye,” Wheeler said fondly of Bates. “He was always real excited about shooting something, and I like to find them like that.” Ed Wheeler introduced Bates to Charles Moore, a famous photographer of the Civil Rights movement, and Bates’ interest in the racism still ramped in the South grew in intensity. In January of 1998 Bates began meeting with a leader of the Klan in Dauphin, Ala., where he was working for the newspaper. After five months of meeting at a Waffle House with the Klan leader, Bates shot his first photo in May of 1998. “I wanted to let him know that I wasn’t coming in for the one quick story; I wanted longterm,” Bates said. “It’s been my goal for it to be a long-term project for the hope of finding some deep understanding about their beliefs and what has drawn members to become a part of the Klan,” Bates said. “You know, it’s about trust, and now I just try to spend a lot of time with these folks. It’s not all taking pictures; sometimes it’s just having conversations with people to better understand them and to give them a chance to better understand me.” Through the past several years of working in such close contact with the Klan, Bates noted that he has discovered a lot. “I think one of the biggest things that I’ve discovered over the 13 years that I’ve been documenting the Klan is just the fact that even though it’s easy to stereotype groups looking from the outside in, even with the Klan it’s really not a fair thing to do,” he said. “I don’t want you to mistake my words; I’m not a Klan sympathizer. But I have hope for everyone I meet within the group, and I don’t give up on that.” Bates said he believes it’s good for people to see these images of the Klan, as much as they may want to avoid them, because from viewing them, healthy discussions and conversations can arise. “I think that our country is changing; I think that with each generation it gets better,” Bates said. “But race is something that’s an issue around the world, not just here in the South or here in America … and I don’t think that ignoring the fact that the Klan and other groups exist is going to make it go away. “It’s my hope that the project will inspire people to think deeper perhaps about their own racial thoughts or challenges in their own community or their own neighborhood, perhaps in their own personal life.” The Center for Black Studies
here at USM is working in collaboration with the School of Mass Communication and Journalism, the library and other departments to bring Bates’ photographs to USM. Curtis Austin, associate professor of history and director of The Center for Black Studies, stressed the importance of students going to view this exhibit. “One of the things that we have difficulty with here especially in the South is remembering our history,” Austin said. “It’s kind of like a book with a bunch of the pages missing – you really don’t have the entire book, so unless we tell the full story about our history and engage our history, it’s very difficult to know where we are now, and it’s impossible to go forward if we don’t know what came before now.” Bates, a 1995 graduate and recent inductee into the School of Mass Communication and Journalism Hall of Fame, said he is very proud that his Alma Mater has stepped up to the plate to be the first to host his photography display in the United States. “I think USM should be proud of it,” Austin said, “not just because Mr. Bates has been inducted into the Hall of Fame, but also because it shows that USM is open to having conversations about things that are very difficult to talk about, and very few universities or other organizations have done that thus far, in fact none in the U.S. That shows that USM can be pioneering in ways that aren’t common.” It is Bates’ hope that after viewing his photo exhibit students on campus will leave feedback to give him the opportunity to continue to grow as a photographer. “I guess that the greatest thing that I hope to come out of it would be thoughtful discussion and not just hateful response.”

Three thrifty threads in Hattiesburg Justin Mitchell Printz Writer
Polly Esther’s Closet, Milkspiller and United Apparel Liquidators are all located within two miles of USM’s campus and offer original and unique looks for the fashion forward shopper. Polly Esther’s Closet defines premier vintage shopping in Hattiesburg. Racks fill four separate rooms throughout the neatly organized store. Each item of clothing is tagged with a price, the decade in which the item was born and a fun description of the item. On a pair of men’s 70’s Puma track shorts with a 3-inch inseam, the description simply said, “Show off your junk!” A person who shops at this vintage gold mine will wear the looks of Chanel, Diane von Furstenberg or Oscar de la Renta at an unbelievable price. The shop contains looks for men and women as well as accessories, vintage belt buckles, luggage and cowboy boots. The owners of Polly Esther’s Closet, Jennifer and Philip Schreck, moved here from Austin to bring a piece of fashion from city that can was described as the “mecca of vintage.” Polly Esther’s Closet is dif-
ferent from a boutique because they offer looks not conformed to mall fashion. The store welcomes shoppers to bring in contemporary pieces to be styled with vintage pieces to create an original look. Although they have been in operation in the basement of the Calico Mall downtown since 2005, Polly Esther’s Closet just opened a new location on the service road of Highway 49 close to Lady Luck Tattoos and Headlines Salon. Polly Esther’s Closet’s store hours vary, but they are open Monday through Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Thursday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Milkspiller’s philosophy is to market vintage and premium clothing at a reasonable price to shoppers in the Hattiesburg area. Even though the store moved to a more accessible location on Hardy Street, its promise of uniqueness to its loyal customers stayed as the store acquired a more modern atmosphere. Jason Kimes, manager at Milkspiller, is passionate about the place he calls the most unique store in Hattiesburg. Kimes explains that Milkspiller is not a thrift store but a clothing store that enables shoppers to buy something that nobody

else is wearing. “We only sell clothes that are in demand, name brand or trendy vintage,” Kimes said. Some brands that can be found on any given day inside the eclectic spot include 7 for All Mankind, True Religion, Lacoste, Big Star and Citizens for Humanity. After a shopper has had a clothing fix, a book room with comfy couches and paintings that Kimes created himself offers relaxation and solace on the other side of the yellow wall. Through the book room is a record room that is covered in vinyl record sleeves and offers a record collection that is incomparable to anywhere else in the Pine Belt area. Every other Wednesday, local bands or musicians set up in the record room
from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., and Kimes offers a 10 percent discount to shoppers and the opportunity to discover local music. Milkspiller is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Located on Hardy Street right next to The Tavern, United Apparel Liquidators sells designer clothes at 75-90 percent off tag price. Known by their customers as UAL, the trendy store was opened over 30 years ago, and the only form of marketing they use is a fun neon sign that lights up Hardy Street in strides of purple, green, and aqua blue. Maggie Robinson, district manager of UAL, explained that everything in the store comes

from Los Angeles or New York. The store buys designer samples, overages and bounce back orders in order to offer low prices on quality clothing. Robinson also said that stores are only located in cities that will not affect designer’s full price account. “If you take $100 into a boutique, you come out with one dress and pair of earrings. If you take $100 into UAL, you leave with a sack full of stuff. You get more bang for you buck,” Robinson said. UAL is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. To contact Polly Esther’s Closet, like their Facebook page or call 601-554-0887.

SGA has big plans for next year Earvin Hopkins Printz Writer SGA elections was a busy week back in February, and that busy week has turned into a busy lifestyle for our new Election Commissioner Jessica Dominguez as she takes former Election Commissioner Kyle Nixon’s position to help plan a better future for USM. Dominguez is already in full swing with her list of plans for the upcoming year. A few of her goals include building a better relationship with iTech to ensure the success of electronic voting, raising standards of Election Commission Committee member by educating them on voting procedures, and creating more convenient ways to meet candidates. Dominguez is a junior elementary education major with an emphasis in English and minor in political science. She is originally from New Orleans. Dominguez has belonged to over 20 organizations and clubs on campus. She has served as Academic Affairs Chairman and executive director of Eaglepalooza. She also served on the Election Commissioner Committee. She is a member of Tri Delta, Eagle Ambassadors and Golden Key Honor Society. Because she was from New Orleans, her first choice was Loyola and a few other surrounding universities, but she didn’t feel a sense of belonging until she visited the campus of Southern Miss. “After consulting a former English teacher, she informed me to visit Southern Miss, to be quite honest I had never heard of Southern Miss before,” Dominguez said. “I was sold after my only visit, I specifically remember walking around campus and seeing one person in a purple polo by the Hub, at the end of the tour, I saw that same person in the purple polo. Attending a school that was big enough to meet new people everyday but small enough to see familiar faces was the final factor that swayed my decision in coming to Southern Miss.”
Mary Alice Truitt/Printz
Jessica Dominguez, junior elementary education major, is the new Election Commissioner for SGA. She has big plans for the new school year.
After coming to Southern Miss, Dominguez said that she was taken under the wing of some influential people on campus. One of those people was Chris Arguedas, who picked her to be on his Election Committee campaign. She said once she learned the process, she knew it was a position she would like to have one day. “Being on the Election Commissioner Committee was something I truly enjoyed doing because people were practicing their right to vote,” Dominguez said. “And I was there to make sure that it was carried out dutifully.” Dominguez said that she was apprehensive about the process for running for Election Commissioner. She was especially nervous about the SGA debate, but overcame her anxiety once she allowed herself to express her outlook for USM. Dominguez went on to define

what success means to her. “Success has absolutely nothing to do with how much money you have, the kind of status you hold on campus, or your GPA,”
Dominguez said. “Success is a state of mind, success is having the ability to truly love what you are doing, to be able to say you been successful means to be able
to believe that you have truly reached a place where passion meets servant leadership.”

Military couple seeks dream wedding The Student Printz recently received a shout-out from USM criminal justice student Samantha Scheurich who recently became engaged. They entered an “Ultimate Dream Wedding Contest” with Crate&Barrel and have asked for help from fellow students to win. Sarah Rogers Printz Writer Love can come in mysterious ways. Or at least it did for Samantha Scheurich and her fiancé Brice Berry. Now they are trying to beat hundreds of other couples to win a dream wedding given away by the store Crate and Barrel. Scheurich graduated from high school in 2007 from Purvis High School and had no money to pay for college, so she decided to join the National Guard. When she was deployed in January of 2009, she met Berry. At first, she wasn’t interested in him. In September, they were both deployed overseas. They then started talking and became really good friends. Around Dec. 20, they decided to be together. “We were skeptical because we didn’t know if one day one of us would be here until the next day,” Scheurich said. They arrived back home in July of 2010 and immediately moved in together after dating the last seven months of their deployment. They met each others’ families and on Valentine’s Day of this

If not, you can set up an account with your email. Both ways of voting are on the page. No purchase is necessary to vote. The top 100 couples with the most votes are moved on to the final round, where judges will pick the winner based on their story. The winner of the contest wins $100,000 to spend on their dream wedding, as well as a $20,000 for a celebrity wedding planner. “I feel like students can relate to how hard it is to have something you really want,” Scheurich said about students voting to help her win this wedding. The last day to enter this contest is March 31 and the last day to vote is April 30. For more information, visit http://www.crateandbarrel.com/UltimateWedding.

couldn’t make it through,” Scheurich said of their engagement. The couple’s wedding is set for October 1, 2011. They are looking at getting married at the Museum of Art in Jackson since they want an outdoor wedding and both enjoy art. However, these plans are not final since the couple has entered in Crate and Barrel’s Ultimate Wedding contest. The couple put their story and pictures on the website so others could vote for them.

Student Shout-outs
Hate speech comes to Hattie Obama’s ex-pastor visits Shady Grove Then, he gave us all a warning: “This message is not addressed to everyone,” he said. “This message is addressed to believers.” Not everyone who comes to church is a believer, he said. Some are curious – others are critics. With that, Wright was already planting in the minds of the congregation that any objection to his preaching should be met with hostility. Wright then set up his sermon by juxtaposing Jesus with Pontius Pilate, the Roman leader to whom Jesus was brought before being crucified. These men were from “two different worlds,” Wright said. “There are people in power who have opinions about you based on their privilege of skin color,” he told the mostly black crowd. “I’m in the text – Pilate was European, Jesus was not European.” He then launched into a hateful tirade against whites, attacking everything European. “They are ignorant and arrogant,” he said. “And these graduates of Harvard and Yale are setting policies for you based on the stupidity of David Hume, Immanuel Kant, Voltaire, Georg

Dedicate your status to your friends’/residents’ birthdays, walk around with it on your forehead. I don’t care, just stop wasting space in the student paper. Hey guy with glasses and a full beard that I locked eyes with at HUBFEST, you were wearing a Saints shirt … I think you go to Word of Faith. I would LOVE to know your name :) I want to shout out to all my fellow rednecks/ country folk that is still out there! Yee haw! It’s really frustrating that the triad courtyard gets all brand new lighting and the brand-new, but STILL unused parking garage is all lit up, but the area between Owings McQuaggue and Joseph Greene Hall is nearly pitch black. Way to go, UPD. This is the USM student newspaper... If you want to “Hail State,” I suggest you transfer there. I find it ridiculous to pay extra for the Hillcrest meal plan when that cafeteria is only open at certain times and not on weekends or holidays. Just because we live there, doesn’t make it right to rip us off.

Ashton Pittman Web Editor “We have in our midst tonight the pastor who led the ministry that produced the first African-American President,” announced Rev. Reginald Woullard, Pastor of Shady Grove Baptist Church in Eastabuchie, Miss. From my pew last Monday night, I could see Rev. Jeremiah Wright, President Obama’s expastor – the man who became infamous for shouting “God damn America!” from the pulpit. Woullard, who had invited Wright to preach a revival at Shady Grove, hailed him as “the Prince of Prophets.” Two others – fellow USM students Robby Terrell and Tyrone Adams – joined me. Robby and I were the only white males in the room. Wright began by welcoming the visitors – which included members of the Nation of Islam.
Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Thomas Jefferson – a pedophile, Theodore Roosevelt, and the racist Supreme Court and the Encyclopedia Britannica.” But that wasn’t all. “The ignorance and arrogance of white supremacy have the shapers and movers of world policy living in a different world from the world you live in altogether, and the sooner you realize that, the better off you’re gonna be.” What upset me most was not Wright’s hate speech – it was the fact that everyone else in the church was shouting, clapping and pumping their fists in the air. Wright noticed that Tyrone, Robby and I were still and silent, and quickly informed us that we looked like the three stooges. “Curious,” he sneered. He went on to make more hateful comments, attacking Israel, America and Bush. Though he did not call him by name, I’m pretty sure he made several thinly veiled attacks on Obama as well. But finally, the service ended. To my relief, we had all kept cool – until some poor, unfortunate soul asked Tyrone how he liked the service.

When Tyrone responded by saying he didn’t like the service at all and that Wright was a “bigot, anti-Semite, and a racist,” churchgoers nearby began yelling at us angrily. We tried to explain our feelings, but to no avail; a security guard told us it was time to go. When a deacon tried to speak to us, church members attempted to dissuade him. “Let them leave,” one said. “Don’t entertain the devil.” It was quite clear that we would not be welcomed back at Shady Grove Baptist Church. But the next night, two friends of mine – both white – did go. After arriving, USM students Eric Fry and John Negri were interrogated a total of four times throughout the service. The church and its security team wanted to know what their “real business was there.” Several times, they were asked if they were reporters. At one point, Eric and Jon were pulled out of the sanctuary by security guards who took them into the lobby for questioning. At the same time, an older man – who happened to be the only other white male in attendance – was also pulled out. “We were only asked a few questions and released fairly quickly,” Eric said. “But as we were leaving the lobby, we saw a cop move the older white man to the wall. It appeared that he was about to be frisked.” Eric believes that what happened to him and Jon amounted to racial profiling. I agree. It was no more acceptable than would be an incident in which a white church selectively pulled out black visitors for “questioning.” That would also be absurd. The entire experience was remarkable. To realize that a church so nearby would allow such a hateful man to preach division and bigotry was mindblowing. To know that such a large congregation would be so receptive to that hate was disheartening. I may have walked into the church “curious” about the man who was once the spiritual leader of our current president, but I walked out a decided “critic.” I guess his message really wasn’t for me.

Firing range beneficial for Burg Justin Mitchell Printz Writer Last Monday, Dennis Pierce spoke in front of the Hattiesburg City Council and urged them to approve a plan proposed to add a firing range onto the side of Gander Mountain in the Westover Crossing shopping center. Pierce, owner of the shopping center, represented Gander Mountain and compared the opening of the firing range to an amusement park. “It would be like Universal Studios,” Pierce said. Ward 3 City Council representative Carter Carroll announced that he thought the expansion
was a wonderful idea and would attract many visitors and tourists to the area. Although the addition of a firing range to Gander Mountain is appealing and would probably attract many South Mississippians, comparing a venue that promotes gun usage to a popular amusement park is a bit far-fetched. Roller coasters, water slides and unique dining sound a lot more appealing to most families compared to shooting targets in a sound proof room. However, a firing range in Hat-

Dear Student Printz, After almost being hit by a car tonight for the umpteenth time at Century Park, I decided enough was enough. I know these are hard times. I know the economy is down and gas prices are through the roof. I know there are budget cuts left and right all over the country. However, will Southern Miss really allow the price of a bag of cement to come before a student’s safety? Upon exiting the residential lot off Fourth Street, there’s a stop sign firmly planted into the ground for those directly turning onto Fourth Street. Facing the street, to the right of the correctly planted stop sign, is a stop sign that’s a safety hazard. It’s not held up by cement; it’s held up by a car rim, minus the tire. With the tiniest iota of wind, the sign can be (and is, constantly) blown over and not visible to drivers and in the way of pedestrians, some of which might need the sidewalk because of disabilities. Or, worse, as I’ve seen, it sometimes falls in the path of unsuspecting drivers, who could potentially hit it. This issue can be solved with a shovel, a bag of cement and a few minutes of manual labor, but it has been an issue since the dorms opened. Are budget cuts so bad the school can’t afford a bag of cement? Don’t believe me? Go take a look, and be amazed by the creative engineering this university has to offer!

Eagles send Bears into hibernation
Southern Miss defeats Ole Miss 4-3 in extra innings Tyler Cleveland Printz Writer Ole Miss sophomore Tanner Mathis misplayed an Adam Doleac pop fly to left field, Travis Creel scored from first base and No. 20 Southern Miss defeated Ole Miss 4-3 in walk-off fashion in the tenth inning at Pete Taylor Park Wednesday night. The Golden Eagles (19-5) fell behind 3-1 after three innings, but scratched across one run in the fifth and the tying run in the seventh while Southern Miss pitchers held the Rebels scoreless in the final seven innings, much to the delight of the crowd of 5,689. “That’s what’s great about this sport,” Berry said. “There’s so many ways to win games, and it’s unforgiving; you make a mistake and you can get beat. I was proud of the way Travis Creel ran the bases. It’s hard to get guys to run those balls out, because 99.9 percent of the time it’s going to be a routine fly out, but there’s always that chance.” Isaac Rodriguez singled to lead off the tenth inning, and Berry called on Creel to pinch run. It turned out to be the best call of the night, as Creel had the wherewithal to run full speed toward home plate even though Doleac’s pop fly looked like a sure out. “I saw it hit the ground when I was about three steps from third base,” Creel said. “I saw he was struggling, and then I saw it hit the ground and I just put my head down and kept running.” He beat the throw by about two steps, but the throw was too wide for catcher Taylor Hightower to make a play. He might not have gotten the game-winning RBI like he wanted, but Doleac said he’ll take that play eight days a week. “Well, you know right before the play coach told me they were playing deep,” Doleac said jok-

ingly with a grin. “So I just decided I’d try to drop one in there. It worked just like we drew it up.” The Golden Eagles were outhit nine hits to eight – uncharacteristic of a team that had scored over 10 runs in four straight ballgames – but Golden Eagle starter Boomer Scarborough settled down after giving up three runs in the first three innings and pitched into the eighth in-
ning. Scarborough struck out three and walked four in 7.2 innings, allowing just six hits on a chilly, windy night. “I’d be lying if I said this win didn’t feel good,” the freshman said. “This is a good team we beat tonight, and I was just glad I was able to put us in a position to get the win.” Dillon Day relieved Scar-

Southern Miss left fielder Kameron Brunty hit his second home run of the season, a frozen rope that sailed just over the right field wall in the fifth inning to pull the Eagles within one run. The tying run came two innings
later when Tyler Koelling laced a two-out single up the middle to score Kameron Brunty from second base. Ole Miss first baseman Preston Overbay drove in two runs for Ole Miss (18-8), and right fielder Matt Smith added the other.
