Operation Beautiful promotes body positivity in unexpected places EMMA KING

STAFF WRITER

In celebration of Body Positivity Week, Feb. 25 through March 1, Mississippi State University’s Department of Health Promotion and Wellness will enact Operation Beautiful.

Operation Beautiful is a worldwide objective dedicated to celebrating all bodies, one Post-it note at a time.

Participants place uplifting sticky notes across public areas to encourage others; in MSU’s case, these messages can be found in bathrooms across campus starting Monday, Feb. 25.

The point of this project is to prove all bodies are beautiful.

Caitlin Boyle, Operation Beautiful’s founder, is particularly passionate about eliminating “fat talk.”

She began Operation Beautiful to enlighten women on the toxic nature of fat talk and its harmful emotional, spiritual and physical effects.

Kim Kavalsky, the Department of Health Promotion and Wellness’s mental health coordinator, discovered Operation Beautiful during her first year on the job in 2013 when she was researching ideas of raising awareness for eating disorders and body image challenges.

“I immediately fell in love with the idea, thinking that it was something small, but could have an impact and reach a lot of people,” Kavalsky said. “I have tried to do Operation Beautiful each February ever since.”

This year, Kavalsky hopes it will continue to serve as a positive reminder that everyone is worthy. For many, it is difficult to look in a mirror and see anything other than imperfections.

Six months after introducing itself to Mississippi State University and Starkville, Lime is pulling its services from the area.

Lime, a bike-sharing service, just brought Lime-S electric scooters to the city this past month, and added electric-assist bikes on campus. Lime will officially end its services with the city on March 15.

In a letter addressed to Starkville Mayor Lynn Spruill on Feb. 19, Lime Strategic Development Director Todd O’Boyle wrote that the contract with the city for bicycles would be terminated due to a shift in the company’s business model.

“We are constantly

looking to improve the way our riders move throughout their cities and we’re eager to bring the latest innovations to the communities we serve, but we recognize that every city is different,” the letter stated. “There is no onesize-fits all transportation solution.”

This switch to be more scooter-oriented influenced Lime’s decision to pull all of its services, both scooters and bikes, from the area.

When the city welcomed 25 new scooters this month, the university wished to continue its contract solely with the bicycles.

Earlier this month, MSU Parking and Transit Director Jeremiah Dumas stated to The Reflector the university had no plans to allow scooters at the time.

Dumas stated Friday

he could not comment on decisions for outside contracts, but Lime’s decision to pull its services from MSU was because of the evolving business model.

“Per the discussion with Lime, they told us that their business model is evolving and they are removing bikes from markets and only focuses on scooters, therefore the bikes will be removed from campus over the next 30 days,” Dumas said.

Spruill said she believes MSU’s large population plays an important and necessary role in Lime’s market, but she does not accuse the university for Lime’s leaving.

“I am disappointed. I loved the program,” Spruill said. “But I am hopeful that (Lime) will come back in the future.”

Perry brings back chocolate chip cookies EMMA DRAY BRASWELL STAFF WRITER

Many students on campus have signed a petition this month created

by Hannah Blankenship.

This petition, like most, was based on an idea of fixing something many people felt needed to be corrected. Still, it was not an ordinary petition, it was concerning food.

The Perry cookie petition was something created to bring back the chocolate chip cookies Perry offered last semester, said Jason Hwang, a student involved in the process of trying to get them back.

Jonah Holland, a student who signed and supported the petition, said the cookies meant a lot to him and other students.

NASA astronaut Scott Kelly gives captivating lecture KARIE PINNIX

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Bettersworth Auditorium at Lee Hall was packed Thursday night as spectators eagerly arrived to hear renowned astronaut and former U.S Navy Commander Scott Kelly give a lecture on his life and adventures through space.

An event hosted by the Student Association of Mississippi State University as a part of their Global Lecture Series, attendees from ages 4 and older eagerly anticipated Kelly, a well-known American astronaut known for setting records in space exploration.

Kelly started his aviation career as a former military fighter pilot, and eventually gained ranking as a U.S. Navy Captain. However, Kelly is best

known for his contributions to NASA as becoming the first astronaut to stay on the International Space Station for a consecutive year and his many contributions to fields of science.

After a brief video introduction of Captain Scott Kelly’s experiences during NASA, Kelly walked onstage amid thunderous applause from the audience, welcoming the former astronaut to the campus.

Kelly not only fascinated the audience with his experiences in space, but also told stories of his decade-long career with humor and amusement, charming the audience with pictures of his childhood, and making lighthearted jokes about moments in space with his former comrades.

FORECAST: The sun will be present on Tuesday with temperatures ranging from the upper 40s to the lower 60s, but rain will be back in the forecast on Wednesday and Thursday.

COOKIES

“We discovered that the Perry cookies had been changed, that they used a new recipe, and quite frankly, it wasn’t as good as the old one; and we felt like we lost felt like we lost an important part of MSU when we lost those cookies,” Holland said.

Throughout the history of the petition, it was noticed by many at MSU and gained a total of 359 signatures, growing in popular support for students who eat at the Perry.

Many good memories surrounded the Perry’s famous cookies, and the change affected a decent amount of the students.

Hwang said he would sometimes get a to-go box and fill it up with cookies because they were so good.

Later, he stated while cookies are a minor thing to some, in the past, some students specifically looked forward to the Perry Cookies when having a bad day. To him and other students, this simple dessert was “that little part of life that brought (him) a little bit of joy.”

With this cookie change came some disappointed feelings, which is why the cookie petition gained the

momentum it did.

This momentum was surprising, even for the people who began the petition.

“I definitely didn’t expect this many people to sign a petition about cookies,” Hwang said. “It was pretty crazy what type of change college students want, too.”

Because so many of the students missed the cookies, this petition was a way for them to join together and try to get some sort of action to fix this issue.

“We weren’t aiming to get ‘X amount’ of voters, we just wanted to see a rough estimate of how many students wanted the cookies back,” Hwang said.

To get more votes, Blankenship, Hwang and others supported the petition by telling people about it on social media and in person, asking for the student body to help and support.

After the petition began to grow in signatures and had a substantial amount, Blankenship emailed dining services.

“I was wondering if there was a feasible way to get the cookies back or if we could talk about it,” Blankenship said.

CONTINUED FROM 1

After this, she set up a meeting time with MSU Dining Marketing Manager Andi Pichardo, and Blankenship and Hwang went to discuss the idea of the original cookies being brought back.

Pichardo asked them questions regarding the difference between the cookie style and why they preferred the old ones, and by the end of the meeting, the students were promised the Perry would try to improve the new cookies.

“She never really mentioned that it was possible to get the old ones back, but they did say they would take steps to make the new ones like the old ones, including cooking them for less time to make them softer and things like that,” said Blankenship.

While this was not the exact result they were searching for, both students were willing to accept the compromise.

Blankenship said within the next week, due to their meeting, the new cookies became softer and better.

If students go in to the Perry today for lunch, though, they will not find a softer, old-style version of the new

cookies, because soon after Blankenship and Hwang met with the company, MSU Dining Services not only announced these cookies were officially back, but they have also begun providing them at the Fresh Food Company as well.

“They truly listened to our voices, which is something really special about MSU,” Blankenship said. “The faculty and staff actually care about the students and what we want. Even though this is an insignificant thing like cookies, it shows the entire spirit of the university and how they care for the students.”

“I think it’s a great triumph that the MSU student body came together and brought back such an important thing,” said Holland.

The end goal once seemed so far from success, but the petition has now made its mark. Because of this petition and the hopeful minds of these students, the next time someone walks into the Perry or Fresh Foods, they can get a to-go box and fill it with the cafeteria’s signature, something many students find important at MSU: The Perry cookie.

BEAUTIFUL As a result of what is entitled the “appearance ideal,” it often takes much more effort to look past flaws and see something good.

With a combination of practice and outreach programs like Operation Beautiful, body image activists hope MSU students can see past the appearance ideal.

Kameron Talley, a graduate student working with Kavalsky, believes Body Positivity Week will make a powerful impact on students’ self-image.

“This week, we are encouraging everyone at MSU to love their bodies and appreciate their health,” Talley said. “As someone who has struggled with negative thoughts about my body, I aspire to bring about love this week for every body.”

CONTINUED FROM 1

In the past, Body Positivity Week was celebrated at MSU as National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

The Department of Health Promotion and Wellness wanted this week to be more inclusive, however, and thus Body Positivity Week was born.

Each year, the department offers different events to raise awareness about body image and challenging negative selftalk. This year’s hashtag is #celebrate_everyBODY. In addition to Operation Beautiful, Health Promotion and Wellness will table on the Drill Field on Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

On Tuesday, Feb. 26, department members will be handing out KIND bars and Dove chocolate from 11-1.

The themes are “Be KIND to

Your Body” and “Be in Dove with Your Body.”

Students will also have the opportunity to add their handprint to a mural describing how they matter.

Counseling services will be available, along with buttons containing positive messages.

The following day, Feb. 27, Health Promotion and Wellness will return at the same time on the Drill Field with bananas free to the public under the theme “Go Bananas for Your Body.”

Finally, on March 1, the department will join forces with University Recreation to host a yoga class on the Drill Field at noon, weather permitting.

A table will also pass out temporary tattoos of orange butterflies to raise awareness of self-harm.

For any students seeking to become involved, the Department of Health Promotion and Wellness always welcomes volunteers who can email Kavalsky directly.

The department, along with the Collegiate Recovery Community, is also offering a discussion group for young women struggling with selflove called the Lotus Group.

The group meets every Thursday at 5 p.m. in the CRC house located at 140 Magruder Street.

Though Body Positivity Week only comes once a year, all body image activists hope its effects last year-wide.

“We are all bold, strong, beautiful, and wonderful, and I hope that our community will shed light upon those truths this week,” said Talley.

uneral services for Susan Tingle Felker will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 26, 2019 at Grace Presbyterian Church in Starkville, Mississippi. A private graveside service will be held Tuesday at 9 a.m. in Memorial Gardens Cemetery in Starkville under the direction of Welch Funeral Home.

Visitation will be held Monday, Feb. 25 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at Grace Presbyterian Church and on Tuesday, Feb. 26 from 10 a.m. until 10:45 a.m. at Grace Presbyterian Church.

Felker, 65, died Sunday, Feb. 24 at her home in Starkville following an extended illness.

She was born in Philadelphia, Mississippi on June 5, 1953. A 1971 graduate of Philadelphia High School, Susan earned an associate’s degree from East Central Community College and then earned both a Bachelor of Science degree in English Education in 1975 and a Master of Education degree in Secondary Education in 1978 from Mississippi State University.

During their marriage, Susan and her husband Rockey followed the nomadic life of a college football coach with stops in Starkville, Miss.; Lubbock, Texas; Memphis, Tenn.; Tuscaloosa, Ala.; Starkville, Miss.; Tulsa, Okla.; Fayetteville, Ark.; Tulsa, Okla.; and Starkville, Miss. In all of those environs, she provided a strong home base that allowed her husband and sons to pursue their dreams.

Susan enjoyed teaching in the Lubbock, Texas public schools early in her marriage before her sons were born and she became a full-time mom. After returning to Starkville, Susan was a valued and compassionate counselor and mentor for students with disabilities and first generation college students as part of MSU’s Student

ASTRONAUT In the beginning of his lecture, Kelly gave the audience a personal look into his life in space. Kelly also told the audience not just about his achievements in space aviation, but about the strife and determination it took for him to reach his goals.

“That’s what I want to talk to you today, it’s about doing the hard things… and how I was able to do that in my career, first in the Navy, and then later at NASA,” Kelly told the audience.

Kelly detailed his

Support Services program.

She was a faithful member of Grace Presbyterian Church in Starkville and took great pride in the fact that all three of her sons chose careers in Christian ministries and service. At Grace, she treasured teaching the four- and five-yearold Sunday School class for many years. She also loved hosting dozens of Mississippi State Reformed University Fellowship (RUF) college students in her home on Wednesday nights for Bible study for nearly a decade.

Susan loved her daughters-in-law as she loved her sons – completely and without reservation. Her six beautiful grandchildren – who called her “SuSu” – were her greatest joys and the sources of her inspiration.

Our family would like to express gratitude for the prayer of the saints far and wide over the last six years.

childhood in his lecture, giving former background into his Jersey family life as a twin of astronaut Mark Kelly and son of respected police officers, his mother being one of the first female police officers in the state of New Jersey.

What surprised the audience, however, is Kelly admitted he was not a bright student during his high school and college years.

“When I was a kid growing up, I was a really bad student,” Kelly recounted.

“Now I know what you’re thinking, well that guy’s an astronaut, he must have been the smartest kid in the class, the overachiever. That was not me.”

What drove him to discover his passion, however, was a walk in his local college’s bookstore, where he found a copy of the book “The Right Stuff ” by Tom Wolfe.

He became fascinated by the experiences and “traits” of these fighter pilots, and what made them become

the well-known astronauts they are today. Kelly believed he also had these traits, and this moment motivated him to work harder toward his newfound goals.

“Maybe, just possibly, maybe I could go fly airplanes in the Navy and become a test pilot… maybe possibly an astronaut someday,” Kelly said with nostalgia.

Kelly then devoted himself to these goals, graduating as an engineering major and attending the United States Navy Flight School, where he learned how to fly airplanes.

Although Kelly admitted he was not a good pilot at first, his work traits and ability to take risks and move to progress led him to fly jet airplanes, and eventually working as a test pilot. Years of working within the Navy led him to discover NASA’s astronaut program, in which he applied to and had gotten accepted.

In 1996, NASA eventually selected Kelly and other experienced applicants to learn how to fly NASA’s space shuttle, a task both rewarding and challenging. In 1999, Kelly was then ready to fly

into space for the first time with six other astronauts, a mission that was routine for his comrades. But for him, his first mission was a dream that had now become a reality for him.

After his first few longduration flights in space, Kelly was then assigned to an aviation mission that would be an experience in a lifetime–to become the first American astronaut to spend one consecutive year in space.

In 2016, NASA and its other international partners chose Kelly to be one of two astronauts to participate in a national scientific study to determine the effects of space travel on the human body, as well as to discover how to travel to Mars in the future.

Honored to be chosen for this study, Kelly described his 365-day long experience living at the International Space Station, in which he recounts his experience launching from an overly cramped rocket in Central Asia, to the difficulties of living in a small area at the International Space Station (ISS).

During his one-year mission at the ISS, Kelly explained a third of his

time was devoted to doing experiments for science.

Kelly described how they experimented with mice on the station to aid in developing drugs that could help humans in our aging process, a field that would benefit the biology and medical fields. Other times, he would be doing regular maintenance work in the ISS, such as fixing and taking care of the facility.

One of the most memorable moments Kelly recounts of going into space was his magnified view of Earth and astonishing qualities he noticed, such as seeing the pollution over certain parts of Asia.

One moment that resonated with him, however, was his first ever view of the abundance of South American tropical rainforests in 1999, and later in 2016, in which he noticed the dry, deserted patches that replaced the vegetation in the region.

After his lecture, many attendees admired Kelly even more, and learned aspects about him they never before realized.

MSU alumni Don Whitmire of Scottsdale, Arizona, expressed his surprise at Kelly’s unmotivated childhood.

“Just the things he overcame, what he described as a kid, where he was a really poor student… and how

he found something that changed his whole outlook on life,” Whitmire said. “It was not because he just was not good enough, he just had to learn how to apply himself, and he had to have something to challenge him.”

Peggy Whitmire, a graduate of the Mississippi University of Women, expressed what she thought was the highlight of Kelly’s lecture.

“He was very encouraging to take the opportunities that has came his way to make the best of them,” Peggy Whitmire said. “He was very inspiring, I thought.”

Lastly, Kelly ended his lecture with a call to action resonating with the audience.

He advised and pointed out that any career a college student could dream about could be made possible with hard work, determination and teamwork.

Kelly pointed out although we may seem average compared to the size of Earth from space, our dreams can become a reality if we decide to put our minds together and work toward a unifying goal.

“I am absolutely inspired that if we can dream it, then we can do it,” Kelly said.

“We can choose to do the hard things, and if we do that, then the sky is definitely not the limit.”

OPINION

Give Disney’s ‘Aladdin’ remake a chance DAKOTA IVY

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

2019 has been dubbed “The Year of Disney” with “Dumbo,” “The Lion King” and “Aladdin” upcoming as live action films. Many are frustrated Disney continues to make live action remakes of classic films, but I think we should give Disney a break.

The “Aladdin” teaser trailer was recently released, but it left some Disney fans unsettled, particularly surrounding Will Smith as Genie, according to BBC News.

I am sure Smith knows the shoes he must fill are huge; there is no Genie like Robin William’s Genie.

The complaints go farther than the choice of actor, though. Viewers are complaining Smith’s face on a blue CGI genie body is both awkward and frightening.

Had Smith appeared as the Genie and not been

blue, though, I suspect there would have been outrage.

Disney is faced with the task of finding a balance between feeding into the nostalgia of past fans and creating something different for a new generation of fans.

Those who are angry Disney is abandoning such a classic form of animation for awkward CGI should admit the original was not animated perfectly, either.

The CGI tiger head on the Cave of Wonders just did not fit, and nearly every movement between characters has motion blur.

But even I worry how Disney can possibly translate Aladdin’s quick escapes from guards and merchants.

How can they recreate the “Prince Ali” number onto the big screen in a fashion that is not animated?

Why is Disney trying to change “Aladdin” when the original is still deeply loved

I’ll give you three wishes if you give me a chance!

This live action

Muthana, at the very least, deserves due process

“I plead the 14th!”

ZACHERY ABUNEMEH

is a senior majoring in political science.

Contact him at opinion@reflector. msstate.edu.

In today’s highly political and divisive climate, it is odd to see both sides of the aisle agree on any issue.

In a weird twist, a certain level of unity has been formed between both conservatives and liberals on one important issue: the ISIS mom, Hoda Muthana.

Muthana is a 24-yearold woman from Alabama who fled to join ISIS five years ago, but now she wishes to re-enter the U.S. and surrender to police custody.

As one would guess, the initial response to her plea has been negative with President Donald Trump tweeting Muthana “is not a U.S. citizen and will not be admitted into the United States,” according to Kate Sullivan of CNN. In a rare move, even hardcore Democrats and liberals have come to agree with Trump. It seems like America is more or less united in their refusal to accept Muthana back onto American soil.

This is where I join the party in a somewhat awkward position.

My gut reaction was in line with everyone else in America, but the more I think about this case, the more I find myself disagreeing.

I hate to say it, but I think we have to allow Muthana back into America.

Let me first say that I am not defending her actions or her decision to join ISIS. I shed no sympathy or understanding for anyone who could join such a barbaric group for any reason.

Nor am I saying she should be welcomed back into the U.S. with open arms.

The minute she lands on American soil, a pair of

Rosalind Hutton

handcuffs should await her.

What I am saying, though, is no matter what she has done or said, she is still an American citizen.

She has a right to a free and fair trial.

While our emotions want her to lie in the bed she made for herself, the constitution rises above our emotions and wants.

According to c o n s t i t u t i o n c e n t e r. o r g , the 14th amendment of the Constitution clearly states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States… are citizens…

No state shall deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

In Muthana case, she was born into the rights of all American citizens by being born in New Jersey and raised in Alabama.

As such, her citizenship and her ability to freely travel to and from her home country cannot be revoked without her day in court.

As the Constitutional Law Center for Muslims in America, which is representing Muthana in her lawsuit to reenter the United States, stated “citizenship is a core right under the Constitution, and once recognized should not be able to be unilaterally revoked by tweet,”

according to Kate Sullivan of CNN. The only reason I make this argument is not because she has a child, or because she was young or because she is remorseful.

I believe those facts are irrelevant to this case. She could have 99 children, had joined ISIS as a toddler and could single handedly defeat ISIS herself in an anger-filled rage.

None of those facts change the cold truth that she assisted a terrorist organization in killing millions.

I only argue she should be allowed back in the country so she can be tried in a court of law.

Muthana understands she will not be able to live happily ever after in America as, according to Dugald McConnell of CNN, “Her family understands that she may be prosecuted, believes in the legal system, and only asks for due process.”

If Muthana truly is willing to surrender immediately after entering the U.S., then as a citizen, she has the right to do so and face the judgment of the legal system.

If we are able to try her fairly, then it would be a small step to bring justice to all those she has hurt.

I know it goes against your instincts, but the Constitution reigns supreme.

particular is when Prince Ali is making his way into Jasmine’s castle, a scene I personally cannot wait to see fully unfold onscreen.

I trust Disney. This is neither their first live action remake, nor is it their first expansion of “Aladdin.” The ‘90s were filled with “Aladdin.” Both “The Return of Jafar” and “Aladdin and the King of Thieves” were released during the decade, along with the “Aladdin” TV series.

It was even adapted into a live musical, premiering in 2011.

This film might not turn out to be perfect.

There have been moments in past liveaction remakes that have left me less than satisfied.

For instance, Gaston’s neck was not as incredibly thick as I expected, but I have been pleased overall with Disney’s remakes.

Ultimately, no one has seen the film yet, and it is too early to judge.

Sanders spells doom for Democrats I hope it’s okay that I brought this to the party.

CHRIS LOWE

is a senior majoring in business information systems. Contact him at opinion@reflector.msstate.edu.

Less than a week ago at the time of this article’s writing, Bernie Sanders announced his candidacy for the 2020 presidential election and many college students rejoiced once again. Well, as I am prone to do, I am here to ruin that optimism.

Sanders is the worst thing that could happen to Democrats right now.

Before the ball truly gets rolling for the next election cycle, I feel it important for liberals everywhere to realize Sanders will do nothing but take precious votes away from Democrats and lead to another four years of President Donald Trump.

His socialist views are much too extreme to garner the support of a majority in this nation, and while it is nice to throw around “free this” and “free that,” it does not appeal to moderates, who will be the deciding factor for the 2020 election.

To explain it simply, the tribalistic politics gripping our country nowadays essentially guarantee two things. Trump supporters are fanatical in their devotion to him and will vote for him regardless of who runs against him. On the flip side, his opposition will vote for anyone but Trump.

For starters, one side has one man to rally behind and the other has any number of people to vote for, which shows the beginning of the problem.

What will do the real damage, though, are people in between who have no undying allegiance to a cause.

Their votes could be used in any way.

personally would vote for Sanders over him, other moderates may view Sanders as even worse, especially those who are most concerned with economic policy. If he wins the Democratic nomination, we may as well flip a coin for all those moderates, and that is not good.

Sanders runs on a platform appealing to idealists. He wants to start a political revolution and in many ways, he has done so.

However, we as a nation face another four years of “fake news,” overreaching executive influence and scandals. This is not the time to be an idealist.

Democrats, if they want to win this next election, need to focus their efforts on dethroning Trump, which starts with putting up the right candidate.

Even Bernie’s own domain realizes this, as last month his hometown newspaper, the Times Argus, published a piece begging him not to run, as reported

by Griffin Connolly of Roll Call. In the piece, concerning the idealism I was talking about, its editorial board stated, “This comes down to principle over ego. It is one thing to start a revolution, but at a certain point you need to know when to step out of the way and let others carry the water for you.”

Former President Teddy Roosevelt was an idealist in his own way, too. When he ran even though the odds were against him in the 1913 election, it resulted in

a backward thinking man with notoriously bad ideas becoming our president for eight years. We are in this exact position today, and it would be prudent not to let history repeat itself.

The final point to consider is the fact that Sanders’ uniqueness is becoming less prevalent within his party.

Even hardcore Democrats may have options they support more than Sanders, unlike the 2016 election.

Domenico Montanaro of NPR shares this concern, writing, “Ironically, Sanders’ success in transforming the party may be part of what does him in, because there are now more options for the progressive left to choose from than in 2016. He’s also having to fight for the head and heart of his candidacy.

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, for example, could potentially peel off from the intellectual, ideological part of Sanders’ coalition (the head). And if former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke gets in, he threatens to pull from the emotional, grassroots piece of his base that wants to root for someone (the heart).”

With this final bit of information in mind, all I see are divisions in the Democratic party and in our country at large.

Cracks are forming, and when facing a foe with an almost-religious devotion from his supporters, solidarity is needed.

Let us not make the same mistake we made before.

“Aladdin” should not be looked at as an upgrade,

but as a retelling. Disney is only doing what it knows best: retelling old stories in a new and interesting way.

Before “The Lion King” was “The Lion King,” it was Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.”

Before Ariel attempted to win over Prince Eric in Disney’s “The Little Mermaid,” she was dissolving into seafoam in Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Little Mermaid.”

Even the 1992 “Aladdin” is a retelling of an Arabic folktale in the collection “One Thousand and One Nights.”

I expect Disney will incorporate new elements in “Aladdin,” just as they have with other live action remakes.

In “Maleficent,” a new side of a classic Disney villain is shown.

The new film opens opportunities for new, more detailed and visually exciting scenes.

The teaser trailer alone promises stunning scenes of bright colors. One in

X Ambassadors and The DLX rocked Starkville Friday TALLY DUKE STAFF WRITER

The X Ambassadors came to the Mississippi State University’s Horse Park last Friday night thanks to Music Makers Productions.

The DLX, a band based in Hattiesburg opened and got the crowd pumped, ready for the main act.

Shawn Chambliss, a University of Southern Mississippi graduate, rocked the stage Friday with his band known as The DLX. Covers and original songs were included on the band’s set list, which allowed the crowd to be involved in the show because the majority of people there did not know The DLX songs.

The lead singer was very energetic and talented. The band also debuted their new single “Always,” which was the typical “breakup song,” but was still catchy enough to have the crowd wanting more. The best way to describe this band: feel good music you listen to on a weekend.

The DLX did not have a large following in

Lead singer Sam Harris of X Ambassadors plays his saxophone while performing at a concert Feb. 22 at the Mississippi Horse Park, hosted by Music Maker Productions. X Ambassadors are known for their double-platinum single “Unsteady.”

Starkville, but that is bound to change after their stellar performance. What made them unique is the band is very crowd inclusive. Their goal is to get the crowd involved as much as possible in order for everyone to

enjoy their experience.

Natalie Allen, an MSU junior interior design major, said she was excited to support the music scene in Starkville.

“We do not have a large music scene in Starkville, so

when a band as big as the X Ambassadors comes into town, I think it is important to support so more bands will come,” Allen said.

Allen said she was not a fan of the X Ambassadors, but still enjoyed her time at

the concert.

Finally, the X Ambassadors took control of the stage, crowd and venue automatically. The lead singer’s stage presence is powerful, and automatically grabbed attention.

Sam Harris, the lead singer, is in a league of his own. Engaging the audience, playing multiple instruments, outfit changes and even getting down in the crowd, Harris gained the hearts of everyone in attendance Kaitlynn Harness, an MSU senior interior design major, has been a fan for four years.

She said she enjoyed them when they opened at Bulldog Bash a few years ago and was excited for them to have their own concert.

Since performing at Bulldog Bash, the X Ambassadors have grown significantly and will continue to do so.

From an entertaining stage presence to catchy songs, the X Ambassadors know how to put on a good show that will leave their audience wanting more.

Overall, the concert was great. From a feelgood band from smalltown Mississippi to a chart-topper rock band, the Friday night show was a major hit.

MSU Public Affairs| Courtesy Photo Award-winning poet and musician and 2019 Writer-in-Residence Joy Harjo, who is of the Myskoke (Creek) Nation, will host a public reading at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 27 in the Turner A. Wingo Auditorium in Old Main.

Joy Harjo attends MSU’s Writer-in-Residence program HANNAH BLANKENSHIP STAFF WRITER

Critically-acclaimed poet and musician Joy Harjo will bring a taste of the Native American lyric culture to Mississippi State University this week as a part of the A&S Institute for the Humanities’ Writerin-Residence program.

Harjo is the 6th in a line of notable authors and poets that the Writerin-Residence program has brought to campus to interact with students and professors.

The main event of the Writer-in-Residence program will be Harjo’s public poetry reading on Feb. 27 at 7:30 pm in the Turner A. Wingo Auditorium of Old Main.

Catherine Pierce, associate professor of English and co-director of MSU’s creative writing program, looks forward to Harjo’s reading, as she said there is something powerful about hearing a writer read her own pieces.

“It’s always fun and enlightening to hear writers read their own work--the language comes alive in a new way when it leaves the page. Readings are also a great chance to hear writers talk about their own work, tell some stories, and answer questions,” Pierce said.

Harjo, author of seven books of poetry, uses her poetry to highlight the uniqueness of the Native American culture and plight in America.

“She writes a lot about the struggle of being a native American in America and the struggle that her people have gone through and the oppression they’ve faced. She also talks about spirituality a lot and having

her soul connected to nature. There’s a lot of very classical, native American themes in her work,” said Rebecca Van Pamel, a senior English major and a fan of Harjo’s work.

Harjo said she started writing after getting involved with a native rights movement as a student at the University of New Mexico.

“I looked around and I didn’t hear any native women’s voices,” Harjo said. “I had started listening to poetry and going to poetry readings and my poetry emerged from there.”

Harjo said her early poetry focused on what was going on in the community and in people’s lives and then grew from there as she learned more about the intricacies of lyrical poetry.

“What was exciting for me was when I realized that one poem can hold many kinds of time, it can hold all kinds of memories and places, events in just one small intimate space,” Harjo said. “That’s what I love about it.”

Van Pamel said, as a non-Native American, that Harjo’s poetry has broadened her perspective on Native American history, something she didn’t learn much about growing up.

“Her work was very eye opening for me, specifically because I’m not native American,” Van Pamel said. “I haven’t really read up a lot on what they’ve gone through, just because that’s not really a part of the education system in America.”

Van Pamel also said Harjo’s work is unique because of how personal and honest it is.

“It’s so intensely raw,”

Van Pamel said. “I think something that makes her work stand out to me is that it’s really written all about her own life experiences and the things she’s gone through that maybe you wouldn’t want to admit to somebody, or especially to a network of readers.”

Harjo said she is excited to visit Mississippi State, as she has never performed or done a reading in the state of Mississippi. The South is also a special region for her as her ancestors, the Muscogee people, are originally from that area.

“I think it’s important too that people know that the Muscogee people were all through the South,” Harjo said. “We might not appear to be there, but that culture is still the root culture of the South.”

Harjo also looks forward to meeting with students, as she says through doing that she gets a glimpse of the future.

“I get a pulse, a sense of what’s to come, maybe even what the next world looks like by talking to students,” Harjo said.

Van Pamel said all students, even those not studying the humanities, should attend the public poetry reading.

“I would encourage everyone to come out because even if you’re not a fan of poetry I think it’s important to listen to the words of people of color and to be exposed to different cultures and learn about American history, even its unpleasant parts,” Van Pamel said.

In addition to her public poetry reading, Harjo will also participate in poetry workshops, hold office hours and dine with students and faculty.

If you like sci-fi/ dystopian movies with some action, “Alita: Battle Angel” will probably be worth your money. If not, do not waste your time.

While there were definitely aspects of the movie I appreciated, I am the kind of person who is looking for a great script, which was nowhere to be seen in this movie. The concept was interesting, and the battle scenes and animation were extremely impressive, but the script is an important part of a movie.

If the film had been written better, I would buy it the first time I saw it out on DVD with almost no hesitation, and while I still enjoyed the movie, I doubt I would spend another $15 on what I saw.

The animation, specifically on Alita, was great quality.

This is obviously where the filmmakers put in the most amount of effort. Because she was the center of the entire story, there was hardly a scene without her, and therefore, the entire movie was full of animation. It was incredible, though, how easily the audience could forget it was not reality.

The film’s fight scenes were also pretty impressive.

Not only were they heavily animated, with most people in them having cyborg parts,

but they were somewhat easy to follow, and they constantly captivated the audience’s attention.

Of course, it did get confusing at times because the audience does not know what exactly will hurt each individual and how badly it will hurt them, so every punch could mean they are fine or they cannot get up. Still, these scenes were easily some of the best done and some of my favorites in the film.

There were a few other technicalities in the movie I did not quite understand, but most of these had to do with the logistics of cyborgs. That being said, for the sake of the film, I think it is assumed how advanced the technology is and how much it can do.

The main character Alita, played by Rosa Salazar, was very interesting. Salazar did a good job with her part, truly getting the audience invested in the film. Alita was easily the best character with the most effort put into her story development and animation, as she is a cyborg human with an incredible life history.

Still, the other characters lacked development. Hugo, who was the character Alita fell in love with, was one of the most cliche characters they could have written. The actor, Keean Johnson, did decently well with the script he was given, but it was one of the cheesiest love-stories I have ever seen in a plot that could have done without one.

The worst part of the entire movie cannot even be qualified as an entire scene, but rather a few seconds of a scene.

It was toward the end of the movie when she was getting ready to fight an enemy who had, coincidentally, just killed a dog. It was implied the dog’s body was laying in front of her, and for some reason, she knelt down and wiped the blood across her face to prepare for battle. I understand this was meant to be symbolic, but regardless it was pretty odd and a little creepy.

The thing the movie should not have had in it, though, was the romance.

It did not in any way make me feel more connected to what was happening, and it hardly added to the story.

She definitely needed a close friend, but it easily could have stopped there, and his character probably would have been just as important.

Because the romance aspect was so lifeless, the ending was ridiculously anticlimactic. While it lead up to a second movie well, there was nothing else about it.

Nothing was resolved, and it did not feel like an ending at all.

Though the movie is not one I loved, I am looking forward to seeing the next one.

It certainly had several things going for it, and I am hoping the many things wrong will be improved with part two.

Peters speech sparks comeback RENALDO HOPKINS STAFF WRITER

Leilua and Bulldogs made stronger HANNAH BLANKENSHIP STAFF WRITER

For senior Fa Leilua, softball is about new opportunities, second chances and family.

Although she is currently second in the SEC for home run standings, Leilua said she never considered playing collegiate softball until the eighth grade.

“I thought nothing of college until I got to eighth grade and got my first letter,” Leilua said. “And my dad was… quite shocked because this was the possibility of being the first person in my family to go to college and actually get a degree.”

Leilua, a liberal studies major, is very grateful for the opportunity she has to attend college, and takes her studies and life outside of softball seriously.

“School is always first, and definitely family and God,” Leilua said.

After being named Most Valuable Player three seasons in a row at the high school level, Leilua went to Arizona State University, where she led the team in home runs during her freshman and sophomore seasons.

Leilua continued her hitting streak after transferring to MSU, and is currently ranked second in the SEC and all of Division 1 softball for home runs.

Teammate Mia Davidson is next to Leilua in the home run rankings, and the duo has combined for 16 of MSU’s 18 home runs this season— something Davidson said is not the ultimate goal.

“It’s crazy. We both have each other’s backs, so we’re not really worried about home runs,” Davidson said. “We’re just worried about what each other does for her team, and she’s just been insane.”

Davidson also spoke highly of the intangibles Leilua brings to the team, besides her slugging abilities.

She said she can not fully describe what Leilua means to the team.

“I love her on the team, she has everybody’s back, she

keeps everybody energized,” Davidson said. “I’m just at a loss for words how great of an impact she’s had on this team.”

However, despite her success, Leilua hit a point where she was unsure if she would ever pick up the bat again. MSU head coach Vann Stuedeman said it was a challenging time in Leilua’s life when her father died.

“She had a moment when she didn’t think she was ever going to play again,” Stuedeman said. “She lost her father, and it was a really tough time for her when she lost her dad, and softball wasn’t fun.”

Leilua’s indomitable spirit prevailed, however, and Stuedeman said she is now back and better than ever.

“This is like a rebirth for her. She’s really having a good time playing, and is really passionate about that,” Stuedeman said. “And you can see it when she puts on the jersey. It’s like a second chance, a new opportunity.”

Though experiencing such a loss, Stuedeman said it produces an invaluable perspective on playing with a heart that cannot be taught by a coach, but can only be taught by life.

“Nobody wants to get that sort of perspective,” Stuedeman said. “Nobody wants that to happen to them in their life to have that perspective. I wish I could teach that perspective to the them without having to endure the loss.”

Leilua said she has bounced back and regained a love for the sport, thanks in part to the MSU’s program, coaches and her teammates.

“After taking a year off, it’s been exciting, especially with this type of team—it’s special, it’s definitely special,” Leilua said. “It’s nothing I’ve ever experienced with any other team. All I’ve got to say is I’ve got to keep grinding, keep my head down and keep grinding; and just trust my teammates, I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for my teammates, especially the coaching staff and everyone. I’m loving

every single moment of it.”

Leilua, however, is not alone in having to endure a tragic loss. Last summer, the MSU softball team lost 18-year-old Alex Wilcox to ovarian cancer. Stuedeman said this loss has inspired and energized the Bulldogs to play with the heart and spirit of Alex in everything they do.

“We all were really close with Alex (Wilcox). She just inspired us all with her smile every day,” Stuedeman said.

“Her dad one time said he thought we kept her alive–just the goal of getting here and to be able to play and put on the uniform. It’s an honor to be able to recognize her… She meant so much to all of us and to so many, and inspired so many that every day, not just this weekend, every day we want to honor her and continue her legacy.”

The team hosted a tournament in honor of Wilcox this weekend, in which they won every game.

The losses and obstacles Leilua and the team have had to overcome has bound them together in a way nothing else could, increasing the familial atmosphere MSU prides itself on.

“When I think about the MSU softball program, all I think of is family,” Leilua said.

“They’re so passionate about sticking together and having each other’s backs no matter what, downs and ups, and I think this is the best program to be a part of, hands down.”

For both the team and Leilua, their losses have inspired them to work harder and play harder. Stuedeman said their challenges have even made the team better as a whole.

“I think in some ways, this is her dad shining through her and she’s really having a fun time playing ball–brings a lot of energy to all of us, lot of fun, great personality, great kid, fun to be around and loves the game,” said Stuedeman. “I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I’m doing it because I love the players and I love the game, and it’s fun to be around likewise people.”

Mississippi State University (20-7, 8-6 SEC) displayed how much heart they had as they came back from a 17-point deficit in the first half to defeat the University of South Carolina (14-13, 9-5 SEC) by 15 points with a final score of 76-61 on Saturday.

Early on, South Carolina had MSU’s number with how well they defended the Bulldogs with their zone defensive schemes. The Gamecocks’ defense created their offense, causing MSU to turn over the ball numerous times and not allowing MSU good shot opportunities.

When the second half began, there was a strong sense of urgency showed by the Bulldogs as they immediately started to attack offensively.

This offensive strength would ultimately help MSU in the long run, as they would eventually went on an 18-3 run early in the second half to take the lead. South Carolina’s A.J. Lawson, a freshman guard from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, said the Bulldogs changed how they were playing offensively.

“They started attacking more offensively, some guys got out the way and we just had to help each other out… and we didn’t do that,” Lawson said.

In the second half alone, MSU shot 65.4 percent from the field on 17-26 shooting, along with missing just four threes, going 6-10 from the three-point range. Lamar Peters, junior guard from New Orleans, gave the team a brief talk at halftime and it seemed to have turned things around.

“I just told the guys at halftime, ‘Let’s get out there

and have fun, don’t get too frustrated because it only gets worse when you play mad,’” Peters said.

One of those players being Reggie Perry, freshman forward from Thomasville, Georgia, who ended the game with 21 points, six rebounds, an assist, a block and a steal.

Peters said his physicality is what enables him to play so well.

“Reggie has real strong body,” Peters said. “He’s a real strong kid. He knows how to use his body down there, and whenever I break my guy down, I just want to feed him the ball.”

Since Nick Weatherspoon, a sophomore guard from Canton, was suspended for violation of team rules, Peters has had to pull double duty and he almost ended the game with a double-double.

He finished the night with 11 points and nine assists, while also showcasing some defensive prowess with three steals.

Since the absence of sophomore guard Nick Weatherspoon, the team

has been stepping in each position to make up for the one member of the team who is not there, and in these past two games against Georgia and South Carolina, the Bulldogs have managed to do that successfully.

One of those players who stepped up is Abdul Ado, a sophomore forward from Lagos, Nigeria, who tallied up an outstanding six blocks along with seven points and four assists against the Gamecocks. Ado said he has contributed to the team even when it felt like he was out of rhythm in the team’s past few outings.

“My teammates have given me a lot of confidence,” Ado said. “My teammates believe in me a lot. They told me, especially with Nick out, ‘We need you to step up your game.’ So, I decided whatever I got to do to help my team, I got to do (it).”

The Bulldogs will host the Missouri Tigers at the Humphrey Coliseum at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26. ESPN SEC Network will broadcast the game.
