The Pride debuts new uniform Chase Ladner Printz Reporter
The Pride of Mississippi displayed their new uniforms at the Oct. 5 home football game. This is the first time the band has changed their look in over a decade. The design of the new uniform was voted on by fans using Facebook in 2012. “Thousands of people responded,” said James Standland, director of the Pride of Mississippi. The new uniform came from three potential designs. Directors wanted to keep the look of the older uniforms intact by keeping similar designs and fonts. “We wanted a contemporary look that preserved tradition,” Standland said. Stepping away from tradition, the uniforms are no longer made of dry-clean only cotton. Instead they are made of modern sweat-wicking, washable material. According to Standland, the uniforms are also designed to be completely adjustable to fit each band member. Students received their uniforms the day before the Oct. 5 game. Because the new uniforms are adjustable, members were able
to wear them for the game without having to tailor them. “If this was 10 years ago, this would be impossible,” Standland said. “It’s athletic wear for bands,” said Director of Bands Catherine Rand. She explained that her first initiative as director was to push for the marching band to get new uniforms. “We were safety-pinning kids in,” Rand said. She explained that marching uniforms last for about a decade. The same uniforms are reused and refitted until it’s time to replace them. With the cotton uniforms, it was common for students to overheat in the beginning of the season. “The first game always needed medical attention,” Standland said. It’s the hope of the band department that the uniform change will make marching safer for students. “[The old uniforms] are like a second skin,” Rand said. “These uniforms were made just for Southern bands.” For more information about the Christopher Little/Printz Pride of Mississippi Marching Band visit usm.edu/music/bands or face- Trombone player Trent Patterson and drum major Victoria Russo showcase the new Pride uniforms. book.com/prideofmississippi.

Steedman received a Ph.D. in political theory from the University of Michigan. Steedman said USM’s political science department ran a series of internal competitions with Williamson emerging as the top candidate. They then forwarded his name to the University of Michigan. “What my research is on is ‘poRobert Williamson Courtesy Photo litical polarization’ and how it affects the country will attend the confer- how people vote,” Williamson said.

dividual, a group, a state or a nation in which a shift from moderate-toextreme views takes place in terms of political values. “It’s familiar in American politics that at least the politicians are deeply polarized; the question at hand is how much this is related to similar polarization in the American electorate,” Steedman said. Williamson conducted a twopart experimental study on campus in which USM students filled out a questionnaire to gauge their political views. Students then participated in a simulated election that discovers the possible connection between
ideology and voting behaviors. Williamson is a member of the Honors College where he serves as an Ambassador. The research that will be presented is his Honors Thesis and will come full-circle in the spring. “My personal opinion is when it’s abstract or in a vacuum, people have the tendency to be a bit more extreme, but in application, they are much less polarized,” Williamson said.

Media veteran offers advice at fall Master Class Nikki Smith Printz Reporter Those attending the Master Class: “Media Leadership in an Uncertain Age” with Gregory Favre on Oct. 9 were given the opportunity to pick the brain of a media veteran and learn from his career. “It is a humbling and happy experience to return to my home state,” said Favre of returning to Miss. to speak to journalism students at The University of Southern Mississippi. Favre is a former editor of the Sacramento Bee and retired vice president of McClatchy Newspapers. He served as editor and managing editor for various publications all over the nation, beginning his career at his family’s newspaper in Bay St. Louis at 10 years old. “I got to go to the newsroom every day and got paid to do it. I cannot think of a greater gift,” Favre said. He said his first jobs in the newspaper industry taught him discipline, timeliness and the importance of details. Having served as the editor of the Palm Beach Post in 1969, the first computerized paper in the nation, Favre said much has changed in the journalism industry over the years, but what hasn’t changed is

the mission of journalists. “The common denominator in journalism is the desire to want to know what is going on,” Favre said. When asked about the future of print journalism, he said he believes it will be around for a long time because storytelling will always be alive. He also believes in the importance of diversity and equal representation of minorities in the newsroom. “The look of the community should be represented in the newsroom so that we can better understand it,” he said. For photojournalism majors,
Favre learned during his career that images impact readers in a different way than stories. But, he does encourage students to pursue all areas of the field because jobs often require applicants to have experience in writing, film and photography. Favre said every student should do his or her best work, network, put together a portfolio of 4-6 clips and always be conscious and careful when posting on social media. He said when preparing for job interviews, students seeking jobs in journalism should always do their homework and

Miss USM Pageant Saturday Kristy Shelley Printz Reporter Eleven of the university’s most dynamic young women will compete in the Miss USM Scholarship Pageant Saturday. The pageant is an official preliminary to the Miss Mississippi pageant in July 2014. The woman who is named Miss USM 2014 will compete as the representative of The University of Southern Mississippi. Shonice Musgrove, a junior business administration entrepreneurship major is competing in the pageant this year. She said this has been her goal since she was a freshman. “Competing for the title of Miss University of Southern Mississippi has been one of my goals to accomplish, and I’m extremely thankful my dream has become a reality,” Musgrove said. She added that she loves being able to share her platform with the audience. “If you are fortunate enough to win, you will have a louder voice to express what critical issue you are passionate about,” she said.

tant. She also said it has been her dream to represent USM. “My dedication and persistence brought me back to compete this year. It’s always been a dream of mine to represent my university at Miss Mississippi,” Dale said. Dale said she has been training for Miss USM since the 2013 Miss Mississippi pageant. “I was motivated to try again and find success,” she said. “Preparing for Miss Mississippi is a year round marathon and there is no time to slack off.” Gavin Snyder, pageant director, said his favorite part is not the pageant itself, but the work behind the scenes. “I love getting to meet and min-
gle with each of these incredible young ladies and see how they bond and grow as bright young women on our campus,” he said. Contestants must be currently enrolled as a full-time student at USM at the time of the application and competition. All contestants must also be between ages 17 and 24, have a minimum 2.25 GPA and be in good standing with the university. The 69th Annual Miss USM Scholarship Pageant will be Saturday, Oct. 12 at The Saenger Theater. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the pageant will begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for students and $7 general admission.
read the newspaper. In job interviews, always ask good questions and be yourself. Favre said internships are the best way to prepare for any career because he believes internships are a continuation of education. “In hearing Mr. Farve speak, I learned that to succeed in this field, you truly have to be passionate about your work and love every aspect of it, even the bad,” said junior broadcast journalism major Charlotte McLoughlin. “You must be willing to accept that there will be stress and disappointments but your love for it should overpower how that can affect you negatively.” “I also learned that each journalist has a chance to change a small part of the world by doing their best work and being the best person they can be,” she said. “By having a generous spirit and accepting others despite their differ-
ences you can make a difference in this field that is ever-changing.” “Whatever career you choose, do it with love and the rest will follow,” Favre said. “If you do not enjoy yourself, get out of it. It does not mean you will not work hard, have disappointments or have stress, but you have to have fun.” “I really enjoyed hearing not only Mr. Favre’s past experiences, but how he delivered the information, as a true storyteller,” McLoughlin said. “I believe that the media is looked at in a negative way these days and that it is up to our generation to change that.” she added. “He really helped me to see how the honest principles of journalism are what makes you a success. As Bill Watterson, creator of Calvin & Hobbs says ‘creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is an achievement.’”

Office serves as students’ S.O.S. Mercey Livingston Printz Reporter Students can face a lot of unavoidable problems during the semester that prevent them from going to class or missing tests and assignments. With midterms quickly approaching, many students have found they have run out of their allotted absences for a class and are panicking about how to catch up. The Office of Student-Oriented Services at Southern Miss is a valuable resource to students facing circumstances that force them to miss classes or are considering withdrawing from the university. Located in Room 221 in the R.C. Cook Union, The Office of Student-Oriented Services is dedicated to helping students with issues that may interfere with academics. This office is
the first place students contact when an issue arises, and staff members work to help students or direct them to the correct department. “The Office of Student-Oriented Services is designed to be a point of contact for parents and students when students have extenuating circumstances that may prohibit them, for the short-term or long-term, from being able to attend class or some issues they may have medically that may deal with their enrollment,” said Alfreda Horton, coordinator of The Office of Student-Oriented Services. Many students may not be aware of the services provided by The Office of Student-Oriented Services because it was previously operated under the assistant to the vice president for student affairs. “My role is to help guide them
through the university systems, policies and procedures that impact their being able to remain enrolled or enroll again,” Horton said. She stressed the importance of communication when students have to miss classes or want to request makeup assignments. Often, students are afraid to be open with professors, but being honest about problems is usually better than not saying anything. The office cannot override department attendance policies, but it can help students by presenting documentation of illness or death in family, and then ask professors for consideration of that documentation. The Office of Student-Oriented Services also works to help students who have to miss classes because of military training. These students are also required
to present training documentation to professors. Horton said students are referred to her office for a number of reasons, but missing classes because of an illness is the most common issue. Students also seek help when they have a death in the family that has affected their attendance, or have other emergency situations or required court appearances. Horton said all of these issues can be considered, but students must have documentation to show professors to receive fair consideration. Horton advises students who are considering withdrawing from the university to carefully review policies and all implications of withdrawing, and to make sure they withdraw properly to avoid problems if they return to USM. Horton said students will
sometimes just leave, thinking that they can come back next semester, and don’t realize the effect this can have on the rest of their academic and financial lives. “Speak to someone first- don’t just leave, and then not come back. There are steps that have to be taken for you to get back in. You are jeopardizing your financial aid, you are jeopardizing academics. Just know that there is a proper way to withdraw from the university,” she said.

Sexual health matters Crystal Garner Printz Reporter
The University of Southern Mississippi’s campus is itching with sexually transmitted infections according to Ashley Threatt, health educator and assessment officer at USM. “Chlamydia and gonorrhea are probably the most common STIs we have on campus that we do find in people who come to get screened,” she said. “It’s very easily spread.” Data from the Mississippi State Department of Health has Miss. ranked second in the nation in chlamydia cases in 2011. In 2012, the hospitality state reported 23,062 chlamydia infections, with Forrest County housing the fourth highest number of infections. In regard to prevention, Threatt said the clinic won’t teach abstinence. “People are going to have sex,” she said. “We can educate them on how to protect themselves, but the responsibility relies solely on the students’ shoulders.” Maintaining healthy eating habits and exercising regularly has been proven to prevent many diseases, but sexually transmitted diseases aren’t one.
Understanding sexual health can play a key role in having an enjoyable and healthy sex life. According to the World Health Organization, sexual health is more than the absence of an infection. It defines sexual health as “a state of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being in relation to sexuality.” While there are other factors to consider besides infections, the need to educate students on sexual health is still present. According to Threatt, a big concern is unsafe sexual practices, like partaking in sexual activities while under the influence of alcohol. Muhammad Javed, junior biological sciences student, agrees alcohol is a big contributing factor when it comes to sexual health in college, but believes “sex is free and free flowing.” “I don’t think it should be disturbed unless there’s a major problem going around,” he said. “Let kids live and love while they can.” The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports almost 50 percent of the 19 million new sexually transmitted diseases each year are amid people age 15 to 24.

letter to the editor
Rethinking “Think Pink” This was a letter written by Shelby L. Burton, a member USM Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance. October finds us surrounded by pink t-shirts, bracelets and water bottles in the name of Breast Cancer Awareness. Happily, this easy activism has brought much attention to the cause and is met with enthusiasm from retailers and consumers alike. Unfortunately, I find that many of the mediums that tout awareness are in fact lacking true compassion. You can walk into any store and find at least one item emblazoned with the slogan ‘Save the Boobies’ and stamped with some vague statement about supporting breast cancer research. I find this message extremely damaging, both as a woman and as the niece of a breast cancer survivor. The ‘Save
Second Base’ culture may be attention-getting and easy to sell, but it is devaluing to the person attached to the breasts in question. It is my experience that the loss of one’s breasts due to cancer is an extremely traumatic event and can lead to a tremendously damaged sense of self worth. Many women with breast cancer have to receive mastectomies (the surgical removal of the breast tissue) as a part of treatment, which is a large enough challenge. The emotional fallout of such a procedure leads many women to experience depression and body dysphoria due to the implied loss of their femininity. Now we take that person who has
survived the former death sentence of cancer and surround them by t-shirts that only care about what they lost, not the beautiful, whole life they preserved. The focus of breast cancer awareness campaigns should be the women and men who fight this disease every day, not on their bodies. The ‘Save the Boobies’ campaign may have its heart in the right place, but I wholeheartedly believe that we should be fighting to save the women and not just second base.
REVIEW
JT’s album delivers Mercey Livingston Printz Reporter To say 2013 has been Justin Timberlake’s year would be an understatement. The highly-anticipated March 2013 release of “The 20/20 Experience” was Timberlake’s first album since “FutureSex/LoveSounds” in 2006. Always up for collaborations with other top-name artists, “The 20/20 Experience” featured producers Timbaland, Jerome “J-Roc” Harmon and JayZ. But not long after the release of “The 20/20 Experience” in March, Timberlake announced there would be a second part to his chart-topping album, “The 20/20 Experience- 2 of 2,” which dropped Sept. 30. The anticipation leading up to part 1 of “The 20/20 Experience” was hard to top. In March, Timberlake hosted “Saturday Night Live,” and then appeared and performed on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” every day leading up to the album release. Fallon made the week a tribute to Timberlake and officially declared it “Timberweek.” Timberlake and Fallon’s new video “#Hashtag” went viral online Sept. 24. “Runner Runner,” starring Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck, premiered in theaters Sept. 25. Needless to say,
Timberlake got a lot of album buzz from his acting career. Timberlake recorded both parts of “The 20/20 Experience” in a 20-day period. Timberlake is known for his longer track length, which he established with his first album and has track times lasting over 11 minutes. The first track, “Give Me What I Don’t Know (I Want)” delivers Timberlake’s signature pop sound. The next track, “True Blood” wasn’t my favorite. It’s upbeat, but it has a lot of effects that distract from the vocals. “Cabaret” brought a smoother, soulful sound at first and transitioned into several minutes of rap. Timberlake definitely focuses more on an R&B and rap sound in this album. This is especially true in “TKO” and “Murder,” which features Drake and Jay-Z. But, more of Timberlake’s Southern alternative rock sound came across in “The 20/20 Experience Part 1,” which is very different from his new album. There are sure to be several hits on this album, the first being “Take Back the Night,” which topped the charts in July. Timberlake and Jay-Z’s popular hit “Holy Grail” was also released in July, but is not featured on Timberlake’s album. One of the better tracks is “Drink You Away.” The more
alternative, soulful sound was refreshing and surprising after mainly pop and R&B sounds for the first half of the album. The final track, “Not a Bad Thing,” is like his hit “Mirrors” and goes back to the old school Timberlake we grew up with. The track reminds us of his N’Sync days. Don’t be mistaken. Timberlake definitely brought sexy back and took it to a whole new level this time. This album is handsdown more sensual and explicit, with only four clean tracks. Part 2 of “The 20/20 Experience” may not top his first album. JT reinvented his image with 20/20 part 1, which was pleasantly surprising. Because of this, part two was a little more predictable. If you loved “Suit and Tie,” “Mirrors” or “Take Back the Night,” the album is definitely worth checking out. It’s already the number-one selling album on iTunes. Not too bad after releasing another number-one album only six months ago. Justin Timberlake never fails to deliver. With two world tours this year, two upcoming movies and probably countless more appearances on Jimmy Fallon and SNL, what could possibly be next?

Southern Miss soccer ready for Rice Alan Rawls Printz Reporter Coming off a double-overtime tie against Marshall Sunday, the Southern Miss soccer team will face Rice Saturday, Oct. 12 at 12 p.m. The Golden Eagles (6-4-4, 0-2-2) lost 1-0 to Tulsa on Oct. 4 and tied with Marshall 0-0 in the Eagles’ seventh overtime game of the season. Their upcoming home game against the Owls will be the only game of the weekend, giving them ample opportunity to not only prepare for the game but focus on one opponent. “We took the past couple of days off,” said first-year head coach Mohammed El-Zare. “Since we’re playing on a Saturday, we figured we would give the girls a couple of days to rest and recuperate.” Wednesday would be devoted to developing a game plan for Saturday, El-Zare said, while Thursday and Friday will be used for practicing that game plan. Rice (4-5-2, 2-2-0) had a

weekend similar to that of the Eagles. The Owls are also coming off a 1-0 loss to Tulsa at home. However, the Owls have recorded two conference wins against UTEP and North Texas – teams the Eagles struggled against. Southern Miss played
the Mean Green of North Texas to a 1-1 double-overtime tie, but Rice had a commanding 4-0 victory against that same team. All four goals were scored by three dangerous midfielders. Gabriela Iribarne scored two of those goals, and Jasmine
Isokpunwu and Quinny Truong each had a goal. Although they have been strong offensively, each goal was scored within close range, and both of Iribarne’s were from inside the box. According to El-Zare, the Owls’ midfielders are tricky, and their threat needs to be addressed. “Rice is a very hard-nosed kind of team,” El-Zare said. “They have a couple of players in the midfield that are creative and tough, and we’re working on limiting their chances in the midfield.” The Southern Miss players feel confident about stifling the Owls’ offense after an impressive defensive performance against the Herd on Oct. 6. Though Marshall got off 26 shots, only six of them were on goal. The back line of Danielle Beatty, Adriana Garcia, Kay Kay Hypolite and Casey Adkins was able to turn Marshall away empty-handed. “Our defense actually did really good on Sunday,” said freshman keeper Brittany Taylor. “We did have 26 shots against us but it tells us a lot about our defense that only six of them were on frame, and we
wanted them to shoot from far out, which is what happened.” Taylor (3-3-4) recorded six saves and no goals-against in the game against Marshall. “On paper, they took more shots than us,” El-Zare added, “but if you look at the types of shots our defense allowed, they were 30- and 40-yard attempts or shots with defenders nearby forcing the player to take a shot she was less comfortable with, which was exactly what we wanted.” Offensively, the Golden Eagles struggled by recording only 14 shots, but senior forward Danica Roberts came close with her two shots on goal. Both Taylor and Roberts know their team can come together and win at home Saturday. “It’s always important to get a win,” Taylor said. “I know that we can do it if we do it together as a team… We definitely need it, for the conference and to boost our confidence.” “You got to think of every game as a challenge,” Roberts said. “We all know they (Rice) are a decent team but when we play our best football we can contend with the best of them.”

ning the Small College National Championship in football, rising to Division I and a NIT Championship in basketball.
Brett Favre, leading passer in NFL history and three-time NFL Most Valuable Player praised Harrington for maintaining his career. Favre was injured in a car accident before starting his senior season at USM. Many thought he wouldn’t play to his full potential due to the accident; however, he went on to lead the Golden Eagles in a victory over Alabama six weeks later. “I would have never been able to play against Alabama or any of my years in the NFL if it had not been for Doc Harrington,” Favre said. “ I owe him much.” Not only was he an athletic trainer, Harrington served as an equipment manager and profound tennis coach during his 40-year tenure at the univer-
sity. His tennis team compiled a match record of 407-179. He also served as a trainer for the United States Olympics teams and the Senior Bowl football game for 25 years. “Doc,” as many called him, was from one of Hattiesburg’s prominent sports families. His father, Smokie Harrington, was a dominant baseball catcher and later owned Smokie’s Sporting Goods store. One of Hattiesburg’s landmarks and Mississippi’s oldest stadiums, Smokie Harrington Park was named in honor of Doc’s father. Harrington graduated from Southern Miss in 1954. He spent several years in the United States Army before returning in 1958 to receive his master’s degree and join the athletic staff full time.
He left a rich legacy in USM athletics. His sons, Larry and Bill played football for USM. Larry Jr. played tight end from 197678; Billy lettered for the program as a fullback in 1984. Another son, Kelly, was a cheerleader at USM. His grandson, Cooper Harrington, is currently a wide receiver for USM.

USM volleyball rallies to win over Rice Judge Lucas
Printz Reporter The Southern Miss volleyball team defeated Rice (4-14, 1-3) with a 3-2 set victory Sunday. The Golden Eagles improved to 10-8 overall after snapping a six-match losing streak. The victory over Rice was the Eagles’ first win in Conference USA play. Quinci Hayward was a dominant force compiling a matchhigh 22 kills. Jasmine Crowell added another 15 kills while Kris-
ten Fleming posted 55 assists. The first set was decided 25-22 in the Eagles’ favor after they jumped out to an early lead. Although Rice narrowed the margin to only two points, the Owls could not hold off the Eagles after a timeout and were outscored 5-2 in a final push. The Eagles would start off hot again in the second set but eventually engaged in a back-andforth lead change. The comeback wouldn’t be enough as the Owls scored seven of the final 11 points for a 25-18 set victory.
Unlike the first two sets, the Eagles started slow and wouldn’t be able to take a lead in the set. The Eagles would fall two sets to one after losing the third 25-20. The Eagles, knowing they couldn’t lose another set, came out firing in the fourth set. Despite having six lead changes and multiple attempts for Rice to close out the match, the Ea-
gles fought for a 25-23 win to even the match at two sets. Following a Rice timeout in the final set, the Eagles would maintain a large lead before finally closing out the set 15-8 and win the match. Southern Miss will host two C-USA matches at Reed Green Coliseum this weekend. The Eagles will play the UTSA
Roadrunners (12-6, 4-0) Friday, Oct. 11. and the UTEP Miners (9-6, 3-1) Sunday, Oct. 13. It could be a rough weekend for the Eagles as the Roadrunners and Miners have both played well throughout the early going of conference play.
