In a quiet room in the Thad Cochran Center, a small group of family, friends and University of Southern Mississippi students and faculty members gathered to celebrate and remember the lives of students and faculty who died during the last year in the Fallen Eagles Ceremony. This somber ceremony, which was held Tuesday night, is a Student Government Association initiative that has been held annually since 2003 to remember and honor the lives of members of the Golden Eagle family, who many feel were taken too soon. Each Fallen Eagle had his or her profile read, and a plaque was presented to family members present at the ceremony. There were a total of nine stu-
dents and four faculty members remembered at the ceremony. Allie Solomon, SGA Vice President, coordinated the event. Solomon said she has a personal connection with the event and believes it is extremely important for the Southern Miss family to recognize the Golden Eagles who are no longer with us. “I had two friends commemorated by the Fallen Eagles Ceremony,” Solomon said. “I cherished this opportunity to be able to put on this special ceremony for friends and family members to come together to celebrate the lives of the loved ones lost.” Speakers and a duet of live musicians honored those taken from the Southern Miss family. The main message of the ceremony was the importance of living a life worth remembering and leaving

Lecture series features USM professors
Andrew Wiest gave a lecture titled “The Boys of ‘67” Wednesday night as part of Phi Alpha Theta’s Lecture Series. The University of Southern Mississippi’s chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, a national history honor society, is hosting the lecture series throughout this semester. Dawne Kennedy, president of the organization, hopes students participate in the series. “I am excited to be able to share our brilliant faculty with the rest of Southern Miss, who may not always get the opportunity to sit under any of our amazing professors,” Kennedy said. “I hope lots of history majors
and friends of history will come to these lectures,” said Phyllis Jestice, chair of the USM Department of History. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to see how professors conduct their own research and to put them on the spot.” Wiest, professor and director of War and Society, spoke about his new book, “The Boys of 67: Charlie Company’s War in Vietnam.” According to Wiest, the book follows a single company of men and their experiences in Vietnam, including the 25 deaths and 105 injuries the group of 160 men experienced. “We tend to argue and write about the big things of war—strategy, effect on culture. But too often we forget the reality of war—what war does to the lives of its young participants,” Wiest said. Jestice will give the next lecture in

Jestice’s research focuses on Otto III, a king of Germany, who was only three years old when he became king. “First his mother, then his grandmother, then his aunt ruled for him. Because women’s rule was so strange, it’s a wonderful opportunity to see how German kingship had evolved by this time, so that even a woman could rule,” Jestice said. Miles Doleac will give the third lecture on April 10, titled “Triclinium Pauperum: Poverty and the Christian Charity to the Time of Gregory the Great (590-604 CE).” Doleac’s research explores the nature of poverty in Roman antiquity and Christian responses to it. “Until very recently, Roman historians have written the history of the

top one percent: the emperors, their households and their associates. But the vast majority of people inhabiting the cities of the Roman Empire lived in abject poverty or teetered on the brink of it,” Doleac said. Doleac will focus on the Christians’ relief programs and charity during the time period. “The Christians, from a very early stage, recognized and sought to ameliorate the plight of these individuals. I would argue that Christian poor relief programs, Christian charity, carried out within a society that possessed no such ideal as such, had a great deal to do with Christi-
anity’s widespread appeal and ultimate success,” Doleac said. The final installment of the series, Kenneth Swope’s “Hanging by a Silken Thread: The Suicide of the Last Emporer of the Ming Dynasty” will be held on April 24. Doleac and Weist both view the lecture series as beneficial to the university community. “I think Phyllis Jestice, Dawne Kennedy and Phi Alpha Theta are doing a great service to the university with this lecture series. I am particularly impressed with the chronological, geographic and thematic scope of these lectures. There
truly is something for everyone,” Doleac said. “Here our students will get to know us as scholars in addition to our role as teachers. We have folks in the history department that fly all over the nation and the world giving talks on our research – what a great opportunity this is for us to talk about our research to the people that matter most, our own students,” Wiest said. The lectures will be held Wednesdays in Liberal Arts Building room 101 at 5 p.m.

SGA started the Fallen Eagles Ceremony as a way to remind students, faculty and staff of the precious lives taken from the Golden Eagle family. SGA wanted to show service to the individuals and remind those the impact made not only on the university, but the impact on each of our hearts when a Southern Miss family member dies.

Julisia Coney Wells, best friend of Fredrecka Brown, a student recognized in the ceremony, believes Brown left behind a legacy because she was always herself. “All of Fredrecka’s friends remember her by her unique laughter and her amazing personality,” Wells said. “What I miss most about Fredrecka is simply having my best friend to talk to. I’ll never not miss her.” Also recognized at the ceremony were four faculty members. Provost Denis Wiesenburg

University of Southern Mississippi students made the trip to Jackson Wednesday for the annual Legislative Day, a paid trip to the Mississippi Capitol to learn more about state government. The event, which was a joint venture between Student Government Association and The Legacy, lasted from early morning to late afternoon, and included 36 students, many of whom are involved in SGA and The Legacy. Students who participate in the annual trip speak with Mississippi senators and representatives, view legislative debates, tour the Capitol building, and dine with legislators at lunchtime. Legislative Day is a trip that is in-
more about state government, some viewed the event as a source of inspiration. Ann Marie Chilcutt, the president-elect of SGA, believes that Legislative Day helped inspire her and other SGA members enormously. “This experience was good in that I see the importance of having a well-structured cabinet and a wellstructured SGA and getting people more involved in government,” Chilcutt said. Ryan Smith, a freshman computer engineering major from Bogalusa, La., said he appreciated how welcoming the Mississippi legislators were to students but was mostly inspired when Sen. Hill stated how Democrats and Republicans work together for the good of the state. “There’s this unity for the good of the state, and I think we could all learn from that,” Smith said.

of USM’s wide variety of opportunities for students to learn outside the classroom, and that is why it is such an important event for both The Legacy and SGA. Several elected officials, all of whom attended USM, spoke with students about their involvement in politics, including Senators John Polk, Billy Hudson and Angela Hill, as well as Representatives Greg Haney, Sherra Lane and Scott Delano. Sen. Polk, a freshman within the Mississippi Senate, spoke of these legislators’ desire to help better their state. The group first watched both the Senate and House debate and then toured the Capitol building to learn the history of Mississippi’s government. Afterward, students ate lunch with some of the legislators at the Capital Club in downtown Jackson. While many attended to learn

USM student nominated for Pulitzer April Garon Printz Writer University of Southern Mississippi student Cassidi Bush has garnered top honors in her field before even graduating. Bush was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for her work at the Laurel-Leader
Call covering a historic same-sex wedding ceremony. The story, published Feb. 7 on the front page of the Leader Call, received national attention due to social media and quickly went viral. While the newspaper received backlash from the Jones County area, supporters from around the world backed the newspaper’s de-
cision to run the story. Bush said she discovered her nomination at a staff meeting on Monday. The owner of the Laurel Leader-Call, Jim Cegielski, made the announcement. “At this Monday’s meeting, he announced that I was February’s Employee of the Month,” Bush said. “I was already excited, but then he threw in, ‘And by the way, your story was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.’” Bush could not believe the news. “I just froze. I didn’t know what to think. I asked him about four times if he was serious. I’m honored and incredibly humbled by it,” Bush said. “I never would have dreamed this would ever happen in my life, especially that it would happen before graduating from college. This experience has taught me so much.” Cegielski and managing editor Mark Thornton were nominated as well for their editorials following the publication of Bush’s story. “It’s phenomenal that Cassidi has had this experience at such a young age. It’s something she will remember for the rest of her life. I’m really proud of her; she did a great job,” Cegielski said. According to Cegielski, Rich-
Cassidi Bush
ard Pilch, an attorney in New Jersey, was involved in the nomination. Cegielski said Pilch was impressed with how the Leader Call handled the negative backlash from the original story, and the subsequent follow ups stories and editorials they published. It is possible that Bush could break a record if she wins the Pulitzer. The youngest recorded winner was 23, a 1986 winner Jeffrey A. Marx. Bush, a 21 year old, could break the age record. The nomination will be for the competition taking place next January, when she will still be under the age record. Bush said she has learned how
important it is to be unbiased and that every word can have an impact. She said did not set out to be an advocate but instead focused on reporting from a historical and unbiased standpoint. “It has given me more confirmation of how important unbiased journalism is. If I had put the slightest bit of my opinion in the story, there would have been a completely different outcome. The experience had taught me to treat every single thing I write as if it has the possibility of being seen all over the world. I’ve also learned not to be afraid of controversy,” Bush said. Bush said the experience has restored her confidence and hopes it will inspire others as well. “There are plenty of people who never thought I’d amount to anything, and I just really hope they read this story,” Bush said. “I’ve always heard, ‘You can do anything you set your mind to,’ but I’ve never believed it until now. If I, Cassidi Bush, from little ole Laurel, Mississippi can be nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, anyone can do anything.”

Last show of Sweeney Todd tonight Chase Ladner Printz Writer “Sweeney Todd” has an interesting history at the University of Southern Mississippi. After a long history of the play not being able to work out, Wednesday was the first time the performance and theatre departments were able to pull off the iconic play. After losing the entire set to the tornado in February, it seemed likely that “Sweeney Todd” would not be gracing a Hattiesburg stage. Though the play’s ensemble managed to move the production into the Saenger Theatre downtown for just two showings, they made sure that the show would go on. “The only thing worse than losing the set is having to cut the performance days,” said Tammy Mansfield, production head. Originally, “Sweeney Todd” was to play on campus for several showings, but with the change in venue, those showing have been pushed to just Wednesday and Thursday. “But the Saenger seats twice as many people and these were the only days we could get the space,” said Mansfield. “We’re just thankful to still be able to do the show.” “It was a gorgeous set,” said Nick Webb, USM alumnus and the actor for Judge Turpin. “It made you feel like you were in London.” Webb was involved when “Sweeney Todd” was suppose to show five years ago and saw the school lose the rights to perform it once it went back on Broadway. “It’s a tradition to say we’re going to do it and something always gets in the way,” said Webb. “We thought this was going to be another time, but here we are doing it.” To work around the lack of set, rehearsals were taking place in the University Baptist Church reception hall. Using little more than a few chairs, benches and tables, director Mike Lopinto and his team was able to start from scratch and put together a very different but still very high quality production. It’s been a whirlwind,” said Stephanie Miles, sophomore in music education and the actress playing Johana. “We’ve changed the set and 85 percent of our stage.” Even with only spending two days

practicing on the actual stage, Miles shares the cast’s resolute nature. “It’s like dangling meat in front of you and taking it away,” Miles said “We feel like we have something to prove,” said Cody Laun, a doctoral student and the actor playing Anthony Hope. “Sweeney Todd” opened yesterday, and tonight will be the last performance. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Saenger Theater. For ticketing information, call 601-266-5418 or 800-844-8425. Mary Alice Truitt/Printz

fully, the owners loved our stuff as much as we love what they are creating downtown.” Both Gates and Ford saw the opportunity to expand their business after their success at festivals and events. Other than the marketplace, The Lucky Rabbit will also host a number of classes throughout the offtime in the market schedule. Dance classes for kids as well as a swing dance class for adults are all available to inspire a community of dancing in Hattiesburg. Saturdays are packed with fun classes with a yoga/Pilates fusion class in the morning and a craft class in the afternoon. The rustic and beautifully refurbished warehouse that is home to The Lucky Rabbit will also be open as a venue space for events for sorority and fraternity functions as well as formal occasions. Future plans for the space are to incorporate an
outdoor area and bar for these special occasions. The Lucky Rabbit is currently booking events and accepting class enrollments. Vendor applications are always welcome to add more unique pieces to the store’s list of goodies. Thaxton encourages USM students to get out and get started with their business ventures. “I graduated in 2009, and I’ve already started two businesses,” Thaxton said. “Keep a positive attitude and work hard and you can decide your own destiny.” To learn more about the Lucky Rabbit or The Fancy Fox, check out their Facebook pages. -www.theluckyrabbit.com -thefancyfox.storenvy.com -twitter.com/thefancyfoxx -instagram @thefancyfoxx

The Lucky Rabbit will open its doors to the community on the first Thursday through Sunday of every month. Over 50 local vendors from the area will showcase their unique goods, such as vintage clothing, house wares, home décor. One of these vendors will be handmade dresses, accessories and home goods from The Fancy Fox.

University of Southern Mississippi doctoral student Kayla Moorer has received recognition from the Southeastern Psychological Association’s (SEPA) Committee on Equality for Professional Opportunity (CEPO) for her research on alcohol-related sexual experiences amongst college women. The Laurel, Miss. native was awarded first place in SEPA’s Graduate Student Research on Women category after submit-
ting research obtained through her master’s thesis, titled “Alcohol consumption and unwanted sexual experiences in college females: The mediating role of protective behavioral strategies.” “This award has given me the opportunity to share the value of safe drinking,” said Moorer. “College students like to drink. That’s okay, but there are little things they can do while drinking in order to prevent experiencing the commonly associated consequences.” Moorer’s years of interest on the alcohol-related topic led
her to discover the connection between unwanted sexual experiences and the long-term, damaging psychological impact such activities can create, something she hopes to help prevent. With the percentage of alcohol-consuming college women beginning to rise, Moorer firmly believes that participating in safe drinking practices can improve the experience of a woman’s social experience and prevent her from being stuck in an undesirable situation. “By going home with a friend, avoiding riding with someone who has been drinking, and knowing where your drink is at all time, college women can enjoy the ‘fun’ aspects of drinking while potentially avoiding unwanted sexual experiences,” Moorer said. Licensed psychologist and USM Associate Professor of counseling psychology Michael Madson said Moorer’s research brings awareness to a very pressing, often ignored issue on college campuses nationwide
and praised the student for her successful contribution to the university’s College Alcohol Research Team. “Her work has practical and scientific value, and it was very exciting to learn of Kayla’s selection for this award,” said Madson. “Recognition of her work this early in her career shows that the sky is the limit for her.” Moorer’s award-winning research gives her the opportunity to present these discoveries at SEPA’s annual conference held in Atlanta March 13-16. “The take home message is that drinking doesn’t have to be an ‘all or nothing’ kind of thing,” Moorer said. “Drinking can be a fun, social activity, and college women do not have to miss out on the fun to stay safe.” For more information on college student drinking and harm reduction or the Southern Miss College Alcohol Research Team, contact Michael Madson at Micahel.Madson@usm.edu.

Sports in Brief: Renovations needed at the Rock The artificial turf at Carlisle Faulkner Field will need to be replaced due to damage sustained from the Feb. 10 tornado, officials with the Southern Miss athletic department said. It was originally thought that all athletic facilities were unharmed, but after closer evaluations, the turf was determined to be damaged from debris. “We discovered hazardous material placed throughout the artificial surface,” Hammond told The Sun Herald. “We brought in experts who looked at it. We were really limited in our options. We could possibly take the turf off, but due to age and condition, it wouldn’t survive that. It might fall apart.” The field is unlikely to be replaced before the April 20 Black and Gold Spring Game. Petal High School is the most likely option, since Oak Grove High School and Hattiesburg High School took damage from the tornado as well.
Men’s basketball falls at Marshall Despite Dwayne Davis scoring a career-high 35 points, Southern Miss fell at Marshall 88-84 on Tuesday night. With the loss, the Golden Eagles fell to 22-8 overall and 11-4 in Conference USA action. The game remained close throughout. Southern Miss took

the lead late in the game, 74-73 off a Neil Watson three-pointer. With 1:03 left, Marshall began to separate just enough. Tied at 79, Marshall went on to hit nine of its last 10 free throws, the lone miss coming with 1 second left. The free throw shooting by Marshall was uncharacteristic, as they rank last in the league in free throw percentage. Davis added five rebounds, four steals and four assists to go along with his 35 points. Jonathan Mills added 13 points and a game-high eight rebounds. Jerrold Brooks added 12 points and five rebounds. Southern Miss returns home this Saturday to take on Central Florida at 7 p.m.
Two basketball players named award finalists Two Southern Miss basketball players were recently named finalists for awards given to the best basketball players in Mississippi. Men’s basketball player Dwayne Davis was announced as one of three finalists for the C Spire Howell Trophy, given to the best men’s college basketball player in the state. Davis is the third Golden Eagle nominated for the award in its nine-year history. Davis is averaging 14.5 points per game and shooting 47.9 percent from the floor. The other two finalists—Ole Miss players Marshall Henderson and Murphy Holloway—
will join Davis at the ceremony. Southern Miss women’s basketball player Jamierra Faulkner is one of three finalists for the C Spire Gilliom Trophy, given to the best women’s basketball player in the state. Faulkner leads Southern Miss with 18.7 points per game, 6.6 assists per game and 3.4 steals per game. Faulkner is the only player in Conference USA to record a triple-double this season. The other two finalists are Martha Alwal of Mississippi State and Valencia McFarland of Ole Miss. Both awards will be announced on Monday at luncheon ceremonies at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame. The luncheon is scheduled to begin at 11:30 a.m.
