� e Center for Human Rights and Civil Liberties at the Uni-versity of Southern Mississippi is hosting its second annual Human Rights Week this week to bring a melting pot of fun, education and culture to campus.

Events ranging from tabling to marches will be held throughout the week. � e events are free and sponsored by the Center for Hu-man Rights and other various stu-dent organizations.

A� liated student organizations include Amnesty International, Bachelors of Social Work Club (BSW), Feminist Majority Lead-ership Alliance (FMLA), Golden Eagle Intertribal Society, Secular Student Alliance and Students for Human Rights.

� e FMLA started the events

yesterday morning with a tabling in Shoemaker Square titled “What is Feminism?”

“Many people have misconcep-tions about feminism and femi-nists,” said co-moderator for the Center for Human Rights Stepha-nie Craig. “� e FMLA had a table set up in Shoemaker Square to explain what feminism is and why it’s important in today’s society.”

Later that day, the Intertribal Society held a panel on Native American human rights issues in the Liberal Arts Building. � e panel opened with a demonstra-tion of traditional Native Ameri-can hoop dancing, followed by a discussion of Native American issues with members of the Choc-taw, Coushatta and Lakota tribes.

Next, the FMLA held a screening and discussion of the film “Half the Sky,” a film about women’s rights and issues across the globe.

Today at noon, the BSW is holding a fundraiser/tabling for the Foundation Against Child Ex-ploitation & Human Tra� cking (F.A.C.E) in Shoemaker Square. “It’s an information exchange and fundraiser,” said Madeline Carter, co-moderator for the Center for Human Rights. “Donate a dollar, learn about a great foundation and what they do and get a bas-ket containing various USM para-phernalia.”

At 6:30 p.m., the Secular Stu-dent Alliance is holding the “Ask-an-Atheist” panel in the Gonzales Auditorium of the LAB.

“� e purpose of this panel will be to answer questions from the Southern Miss community and dispel some of the misconcep-tions surrounding atheism,” Craig said. “� e forum is open to every-one and strives to provide hon-est responses to public inquiries about secularism.”

Tomorrow, Students for Hu-man Rights has will table in Shoe-maker Square at noon and will feature cra� s made by immigrants to raise awareness of the forum at 6:30 p.m. that evening in room 101 of the International Center.

“� e forum’s purpose is to raise awareness of the hardships faced by African immigrants here in the southern United States,” Craig said. “� e panel will feature im-migrants from various African nations currently residing in Mo-bile, Alabama, and detail their in-dividual experiences.”

On � ursday at 6:30 p.m. in Gonzales Auditorium, Amnesty International will have a panel titled “What is Prison Reform?” � e forum will feature three dis-tinguished panelists: Wes John-son, doctoral coordinator and professor in the School of Crimi-nal Justice at USM; Elissa John-son, sta� attorney at the Southern

Poverty Law Center, a non-pro� t civil rights organization that pro-vides legal service and advocacy across the American South; and Don Cabana, Warden of Missis-sippi State Penitentiary at Parch-man from 1984-91, chair of Criminal Justice at the Tradition campus of William Carey Uni-versity and author of “Death at Midnight: � e Confession of an Executioner.”

“� e forum will address what prison reform is, how it a� ects us, why we need it, how it may ben-e� t the criminal justice system as a whole – just things like that,” Craig said.

On Friday, the Intertribal Soci-ety will host a “Cultural March.” � e march will start at 12 p.m. at the � ad Cochran Center and end at the Medicine Garden.

MCJ Symposium to honor four USM alumnaeon CaMpUS

The sixth annual School of Mass Communication and Journalism Symposium will be held Thursday in the Thad Cochran Center. The theme is “Southern Miss Women and the Media: #usmsteelmagno-lias” and is set to honor four promi-nent women in the media, all of whom have made an impact in their communities through hard work and remembering where they came from.

Each of the four women honored will be inducted into the MCJ Hall of Fame, an honor established by

the School of Mass Communica-tion and Journalism in 2006 in order to recognize prominent graduates from the University of Southern Mississippi’s MCJ program.

The symposium will begin at 9:30 a.m. with a panel discussion involv-ing the four inductees. This session will be free and open to the public. Following the panel discussion, a ticketed luncheon is scheduled to honor the inductees. Students in the School of Mass Communica-tion and Journalism were encour-aged to apply for Master Classes in which three of the four inductees will be speaking on an intimate level with the students selected to attend the classes.

“We are beyond thrilled to wel-

come Sally-Ann Roberts, Rebecca Brown Baldwin, Margaret Loesch and Dr. Martha D. Saunders into our Hall of Fame,” Chris Campbell, director of the School of Mass Com-munication and Journalism, said. “As we [the deciding committee] began discussing who we thought should be inducted this year, we no-ticed the names we were bringing up were mostly those of prominent women. With this year’s election, we figured this was an appropriate time to take a look at prominent women in the media, especially those who are Southern Miss alumnae.”

Mandy Nace, assistant to the director, believes students in the School of Mass Communication and Journalism who were selected

to attend one of the master classes with Roberts, Baldwin and Loesch will be pleased with the opportuni-ties attending such a class can afford.

Senior public relations major Chelsey Everett was chosen to par-ticipate in one of the classes and is excited to add the experience like this to her resume.

“As a senior, I figured it was time to step up and truly become an ac-tive student in the MCJ depart-ment,” Everett said. “When I found out about the symposium offering the master classes with these inspi-rational women, I knew I had to participate. I sent in my application, got accepted and can hardly wait to learn things in these classes that I would not learn in my regular class-

es. Learning from life experience is completely different than learning out of a book.”

“Students have the opportunity to see how they, too, can make an impact in the industry,” Nace said. “It benefits students to sit in front of someone successful and hear them explain their journeys to becom-ing the women they are today. Stu-dents who are proactive and bold can reach for the stars just like these women have done.”

For more information regarding the symposium or luncheon tickets, contact Nace at [email protected] or call the MCJ office at 601-266-4258.

“The Southerner” yearbook held a photo booth Monday and will con-tinue it today from noon until 3 p.m. in Shoemaker Square. The event, called Fancy Pants, is a free photo session in which photographers will snap pictures “while feeling your fanciest.” It is open to all students.

Kelly Price, executive editor of “The Southerner,” said the event is an opportunity to have fun and get a picture in the yearbook.

“Many students don’t purchase a yearbook because they’re not in it, so this is a great way to get your picture in it,” Price said.

There is no need to dress up; cos-tumes and props will be provided. Photos will also be posted on “The Southerner” Facebook page.

“The march is meant to cel-ebrate Native American cul-ture,” Craig said. “People of all backgrounds and cultures are welcome to jump in and par-ticipate, however, and celebrate their culture alongside others.”

The culminating event of the week is a screening of the docu-mentary “Las Abuelas de la Pla-za de Mayo and the Search for Identity” on Friday at 7:30 p.m. at T-Bones Records & Cafe on Hardy Street.

“Las Abuelas is a documentary about the legacy of human rights abuses – notably child kidnap-pings – during the military dic-tatorship in Argentina in the late

1970s and 80s,” Craig said.According to the Center’s

mission statement, “The Cen-ter for Human Rights and Civil Liberties at USM is founded to advance the principle of ‘liber-ty and justice for all, both here and abroad…the Center serves the university and broader communities by fostering col-laboration with community partners on projects that ad-dress problems of social justice and public policy.”

USM focuses on international educationOn CaMpUS

Diversity plays a large role at the University of Southern Mississippi; the campus is home to students from more than 60 different coun-tries, and at least 150 new interna-tional students enrolled in the uni-versity this year.

International cuisine, contests and numerous activities will be featured on campus to celebrate International Education Week, which began yes-terday and will end Friday.

International Education Week was first held in 2000 as a program of the U.S. Departments of State and Education and has flourished over the past 12 years. The event is described as an ideal opportunity to encourage students to become globally competent and globally successful through international education and international en-gagement, according to the depart-ments’ websites.

Jessica Lamb, coordinator of In-ternational Studies, has organized the event since she began working at USM four years ago.

“It started with the photo con-test, and it’s just been building every year,” Lamb said. “We hope to see more student organizations and dif-ferent departments on campus get involved.”

The events listed above have been planned throughout the week. In-formational meetings will also be given on study abroad programs offered at USM.

“I wish every student could study abroad,” Lamb said. “This can at least satisfy some curiosity.”

The Department of Foreign Languages & Literatures and the

Spanish Club will host Spanish dancing and tapas, and students can learn to play Jouons Pétanque, a French sport.

An International Fair in the Thad Cochran Center will be held on Thursday. Fresh Food Company will serve meals from around the world for lunch. Students can vote on photo contest entries, read the win-ning essay and discover who won the video contest. Later, Peace Corps volunteer Rick Enkoji will talk about his travels to Swaziland, where he taught math from 1977 to 1980. The fair will end with a talent show

hosted by the Department of For-eign Languages & Literatures, and the only rule is no English allowed to be spoken.

International Education Week provides opportunities to give stu-dents a taste of other cultures and meet international students and faculty who attend USM alongside American students.

Businesses unite to ‘Knock Out’ hungerLOCaL

Three local businesses are stepping into the ring this week to knock out hunger with the “Chow Down Show Down.” Click Boutique & Gallery, Cali-ente Grille and Keg and Barrel are slipping on their boxing gloves for a little friendly com-petition.

The competition is not a lit-eral fight, but a fight to end hunger in the Hattiesburg com-munity. The official “referee” of the event is Raven Tynes of Extra Table, a local non-profit organization that fights hun-ger in the state. Tynes will tally up the scores to determine the winner at the end of the week. All proceeds will go to Chris-tian Services as they gear up for their annual Thanksgiving meal, which will feed hundreds of Hattiesburg natives on Nov. 20.

To entice locals to donate at their location, each business is “fighting dirty” by bribing cus-tomers with incentives to bring in canned goods. Anyone who brings a donation to Click will receive 20 percent off any piece of jewelry at the downtown shop or Twelve Oaks Accessory Garden next door. Caliente is offering free chips and queso with a canned donation. Keg

and Barrel is offering one free canned beer in exchange for three canned goods. Extra Table is helping out by getting a to-tal value of the entire donation from all three locations. Once the value of the donation has

been calculated, Caliente, Keg and Barrel and Click will match the donation dollar for dollar.

The idea came from Cali-ente owner and University of Southern Mississippi gradu-ate Charles Arinder, who saw a need in the community and wanted to help.

“The concept in general com-pletely baffles me that in 2012 people can still be going hungry,” Arinder said. “My goal was to help meet a basic need and have the help directly affect the Hattiesburg and Pine Belt communities.”

John Neal of Keg and Barrel was excited to get involved in

the canned food drive and has a surprise up his sleeve, which will be announced on Friday.

“The Keg and Barrel has been involved with the animal shel-ter for multiple years,” Neal said. “I think it is very impor-tant for small local businesses to give back to the community.”

What will the winning location get for knocking out their competition?

“Each location has been toss-ing wages on the table for the winner,” Jason Le Viere, co-owner of Click, said. “If we lose, my business partner Adam Myrick and I will go to the win-ning location and bus tables for

an entire day, and all of our tips will be donated to Extra Table.”

Stay updated on the Chow Down Show Down competition on the businesses’ Facebook and Twitter pages.

Southern Miss hosts jazz concertMUSIC

� e University of Southern Mis-sissippi School of Music held a jazz concert Monday evening and will host another concert tonight in Ben-nett Auditorium.

USM graduate Ryan Raziano di-rected Monday’s concert performed by Jazz Lab Band II. He will follow up tonight with Larry Panella and direct Jazz Lab Band I at 7:30 p.m.

� e concert is open admission and free of charge.

“Ryan worked with us thoroughly for three days a week,” freshman Jy-ron Vickers said. “He was sure we were comfortable with the work. He is very detailed oriented.”

Raziano worked with both stu-dents new to the genre and students who have experience.

One jazz novice is senior opera student Angel Butler.

“Opera is black and jazz is white,” Butler said. “� e only thing they

have in common is that they both have music.”

Butler sang a version of “� e Lady is a Tramp,” popularly performed by Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga.

Other arrangements played were “Treasure Hunt,” “� e Blue Machine,” “Ballad for Stormy” and “High Five.”

“I enjoy having the experience of playing music from someone else’s point of view,” Raziano said.

The compositions are de-signed to leave room for impro-

visation and solos from many of the band members.

“It’s all about telling a story,” Patrick Hearns, a senior piano major, said.

Hearns said improvisation is similar to driving home while on the phone. � e musician becomes so fa-miliar with the composition that he or she can take many di� erent paths to get to the same result.

“I try to sound like someone else while putting myself into the music,” Hearns said.

Tuesday’s performance is said to be an eclectic one and will feature Radiohead song “High and Dry.”

For more information about the concert, visit usm.edu/music or call 601-266-5543.

High ticket sales expected for ‘Sweeney Todd’THEATRE

On Halloween, tickets o� cially went on sale for the University of Southern Mississippi’s School of Music’s production of “Sweeney Todd: � e Demon Barber of Fleet Street,” slated to debut at the end of February. Since the announcement, opening night has nearly sold out.

� e play, written by Stephen Sondheim, is o� en described as a musical thriller that follows a bar-ber’s quest for revenge in 1894 Lon-don. � e play was made famous by the 2007 Tim Burton � lm starring Johnny Deep.

� ere will be four performances of the play beginning Feb. 28 and ending March 2. Marketing & Event Coordinator Mike Lopinto is the

director of the play, while Direc-tor of the School of Music Michael Miles is the director of the music for the show. J. Taylor Hightower, the undergraduate coordinator for the School of Music, will be playing the lead character, Sweeney Todd.

“We have a lot of talented people

on campus,” Lopinto said. “Seeing them come together is stellar and very exciting.”

� e play had an open audition in August. Of the 100 applicants, 25 made the � nal cut. � e cast pri-marily consists of music and theatre majors, but alumni and community members are also involved.

“You can sing it and you can act it, but it’s very demanding to do both,” Lopinto said.

Other members of the “Sweeney Todd” crew are theater professor Stephen Judd and theater supervisor Kelly James-Penot.

Judd teaches scenic design and

heads design and technology in the Department of � eatre. He recently began the preliminary designs of the set for the upcoming play.

“Everything has to point to the thrust of the idea,” Judd said.

His methodology includes � nding key words to describe the tone, themes and setting of the play, a� er which he begins � nd-ing pictures that go along with the words. Keywords in “Sweeney Todd” include words such as de-cay and claustrophobia.

Judd said making the set and � g-uring out the exact tone of the play has a give and take dynamic among

all the members of the cast, most im-portantly the directors and the cos-tume designer, James-Penot.

Even with opening night a few months away, James-Penot has al-ready started the process of design-ing and constructing the costumes for “Sweeney Todd.” As costume de-signer for the theatre and dance de-partment, she has worked on several plays, the most recent being USM’s showing of “Lysistrata.”

While there Judd and James-Pen-to are tasked with keeping the design of the play period correct, they are not afraid to add modern aspects to keep the show interesting.

While the show will not open until late February, Lopinto sug-gest that those interested buy tickets early.

“We expect it to sell out, espe-cially with so many departments involved,” Lopinto said.

Sexiest men aliveLIFE

Last Tuesday, the nation elected President Barack Obama to another four years in the Oval O� ce. While many celebrated, others were upset that GOP candidate Mitt Romney didn’t unseat the president.

However, there’s one election I think we ladies can all appreciate; it’s time for the 2012 edition of Peo-ple’s Sexiest Men Alive. Since CNN and FOX News don’t have their best political analysts on the case to pre-dict who the top contenders will be, I’ll let you in on my top � ve picks to hold you over until the o� cial list is released tomorrow.

Ryan Gosling“Hey girl. If you’re a bird, then

I’m a bird.” Why would this sexy man not be at the top of my list? � is charming Canadian actor loves dogs and has a funny side, not to mention those heart-melting blue eyes. Not only is he incred-ibly good-looking, but he’s also incredibly talented. We’ve all seen Gosling’s memorable role as Noah in “� e Notebook.” He’s also been in other � lms, such as “Blue Val-entine,” “� e Ides of March” and “Drive.” He also has a musical side.

Check out his musical prowess on his band’s self-titled freshman al-bum “Dead Man’s Bones.” His new-est movie “Gangster Squad” will be coming to theaters in 2013, and you know you’re going to be there. Have you seen that man in a suit?

Channing TatumA� er his latest role as Magic

Mike, Channing Tatum is a shoe-in for one of the top slots for Sexi-est Man Alive. With abs like his, it’s a spot well-deserved. I certainly wouldn’t mind taking a trip to Xquisite to see Tatum bust a move. While he isn’t the best actor in the world, he is charming and comes across as a very likable character. Unfortunately, this hottie is taken by his “Step Up” co-star Jenna De-wan-Tatum. � ey are easily one of the most beautiful couples I have ever seen and are going to have some good-looking babies.

Adam LevineMaroon 5 front man and “� e

Voice” coach Adam Levine has a beautiful voice and a beautiful face to match. He recently guest-starred on “American Horror Story” as half of a honeymooning couple (his wife in the show is actually Tatum’s wife, Jenna) who meets an unfortunate fate while exploring an abandoned mental hospital. Even if you’re not a fan of the horror genre, Levine

makes the show worth a watch.Joseph Gordon-Levitt

� is cutie has grown in popu-larity since his role on the televi-sion series “3rd Rock from the Sun” and his co-starring role in the indie � ick “500 Days of Sum-mer.” From his adorable dimples to his boyish good looks, JGL should not be overlooked for one of the top spots on the list of Sexi-est Men Alive. Catch him in Ste-ven Spielberg’s biopic “Lincoln,” in theaters this Friday. He’s a “� e Student Printz” sta� favorite.

Cristiano RonaldoWhile I’m not the biggest sports

fan, Cristiano Ronaldo makes me want to get up and cheer. � is soccer star plays forward for Real Madrid and leads the Portuguese national team. Ronaldo is the top paid soccer player in the world and boasts over three million Twitter followers. I’m pretty sure it’s be-cause of those killer abs showcased in the ads for his line of Armani underwear, or maybe it’s his fancy footwork and scoring records. I’m banking on the underwear.

Eagles trampled by MustangsFootball

Southern Miss struggled on of-fense Saturday night. The Golden Eagles were shut down by the SMU defense and were only able to gain 178 yards of total offense. Three dif-ferent quarterbacks saw action on the field and were only able to gen-erate a total of six points as Southern Miss fell to the Southern Methodist Mustangs by a score of 34-6.

The loss continues the worst sea-son in Southern Miss football. The Eagles are now 0-10 on the season and 0-6 in conference play. Entering the weekend, USM was one of two win-less teams in the nation. With

UMass defeating Akron this week-end, Southern Miss is now the only win-less team in Division I football.

The bread and butter of the Southern Miss offense is their run-ning game. They faced a tough test going up against the 33rd best rush defense in SMU. By the end of the night, the Mustangs won the battle of the trenches. Southern Miss only managed 51 yards on the ground.

The running game took a hit before kickoff when Southern Miss’s leading rusher, Desmond Johnson, was suspended for vio-lation of team rules. Running back Jalen Richard continued his freshman campaign by leading the team in rushing with 40 yards on 10 carries. No other Eagle had

more than 10 yards in the game.Without a successful running

game, the Eagles turned to three quarterbacks to try to get the offense in motion. That did not turn out much better. Starter Anthony Alford started slow before being replaced by Chris Campbell. It was Campbell’s first action since suffering a neck in-jury against Western Kentucky.

Campbell led the only scor-ing drive of the game when he hit wide receiver Dominique Sullivan on a 15-yard touch-down pass; the extra point was blocked. However, Campbell also threw two interceptions that led to two SMU touchdown drives in the last five minutes of the sec-ond quarter. The Mustang lead

ballooned from six points to 20 points in those five minutes.

Campbell suffered another injury when he threw his second intercep-tion and was replaced by Alford. It was another long day for Alford, as he accounted for only eight total yards on the day: four passing and four rushing. Walk-on Cole Weeks replaced Alford after he left with a leg injury. Weeks connected on four of his 10 passes for a total of 30 yards.

The Southern Miss defense had no answer for the SMU offense. Texas transfer Garrett Gilbert com-pleted over half of his passes for 249 yards and a touchdown. Gilbert also added touchdown runs of 39 and 19 yards. All in all, the SMU quarter-back accounted for 343 total yards

and three touchdowns.Gilbert was not the only Mustang

to have a good night offensively. Wide receiver Jeremy Johnson had eight catches for 97 yards while run-ning back Zach Line continued his storied SMU career with 92 yards on 22 rushing attempts and a touch-down. Line crossed the 1,000 yard rushing mark on the season for the third time in his career and now has 41 career touchdowns.

The Golden Eagles return home to face University of Texas-El Paso this weekend. The UTEP Minors are 2-8 on the season and are com-ing off a home loss to Central Flor-ida. The United States military will be honored during this Military Appreciation Game.

USM outlasts WKU in home openerbaSKEtball

The Southern Miss men’s bas-ketball team (1-0) extended their home winning streak to 16 games on Saturday when they defeated the Western Kentucky Hilltop-pers (0-1) 67-64. The win gave the Golden Eagles their first ever vic-tory against Western Kentucky, as they were win-less in three previous match-ups against the Hilltoppers.

The contest was a sloppy one, as a total of six players fouled out of the game. In addition, the teams recorded a combined 53 personal fouls and a combined 51 turnovers. The Eagles looked strong early but were often stagnant on offense in the second half without injured floor general Neil Watson in the lineup. Off guard Cedric Jenkins was also absent due to injury. Dwayne Davis and Jerrold Brooks filled in nicely as the team’s primary ball handlers, but their combined 13 turnovers created several fast break opportunities for the Hilltoppers.

Despite blowing a 14-point first half lead, Southern Miss Head Basketball Coach Donnie Tyndall was elated about his team’s gutsy performance.

“I told our team that I was every bit as proud of this win as I was of

the team I had [at Morehead State] that beat Louisville in the [NCAA] Tournament,” Tyndall said. “With what we’ve overcome, with Neil and Cedric out, with four guys fouling out, I could go on and on, but I’m very, very proud of our effort.”

The Eagles jumped out to an early 10-0 lead on the strength of back-to-back three-pointers, their only two of the game. Davis pitched in for sev-en of the team’s first 10 points, and

junior swing-man Michael Craig led the Eagles with eight first half points. The Eagles maintained a comfort-able margin for the remainder of the period, as they entered halftime leading 30-22.

Southern Miss retained its lead for the majority of the second half but briefly fell behind 55-56 in the waning moments of regulation. A Kevin Kaspar three-pointer capped a 13-4 Hilltopper run, but the ad-

vantage was short-lived, as the game was knotted at 58 entering overtime.

Kaspar provided an early cushion for the Hilltoppers in the extra pe-riod by knocking down his fourth three-pointer of the contest, but Southern Miss remained resilient and narrowly escaped victorious on the strength of clutch free throw shooting. The Eagles converted nine of 12 free throw attempts in overtime and 21 of 30 for the game.

Western Kentucky only made 16 of its 30 shots from the charity stripe.

Brooks converted all four of his free throw attempts in the final 10 seconds of overtime, icing the game for the Eagles.

“Coach wanted to put the ball in my hands, and I usually make my free throws,” Brooks said. “I just had to take a deep breath and knock them down. It’s not as easy as it looks.”

Brooks and Craig led the way for the Eagles, as they each contrib-uted 13 points. Jamal Crook was the high-man for the Hilltoppers, as he poured in 17 points to go along with his seven rebounds.

Although senior forward Jona-than Mills did not put up huge num-bers (five points and six rebounds in 31 minutes), he took a charge with 6.5 seconds remaining in the second half, negating what would have been a bucket for the Hilltoppers. His in-tensity and aggressiveness fired up the home crowd early, setting the tone for the Eagles from the get-go.

“The crowd was great,” Craig said. “We couldn’t have done it without them. I really haven’t played in front of a great crowd like this.”

The Golden Eagles will play four road bouts before returning to Reed Green Coliseum on Tue., Nov. 27 when they host the Denver Pioneers at 7 p.m.
