Homecoming, from 1 “It’s been a really awesome experience getting to know the homecoming court this year,” Phillips said. “I know I’ll be seeing even more of them this week which means that I’ll get to know them even better.”

“The homecoming court essentially represents the student

body,” she added.

“Being on the court is more of a responsibility than people realize. They were chosen for these positions because they represent Southern Miss so well,” Phillips said. “I’m so honored I had the opportunity to be their director, and I’m extremely excited for them to

experience homecoming day.”

Homecoming week will also feature a number of events for alumni and the Hattiesburg community, including a Football Friday Luncheon with Head Coach Todd Monken, and the annual Homecoming Eagle 5k Run at 8:30 a.m. Saturday near the Eagle Walk.

Homecoming brings together many alumni who enjoy returning to their alma mater each year.

Amy Martin, a 2006 Southern Miss graduate, looks forward to attending homecoming festivities with her husband, also an alum, and their daughter.

“The excitement that Home-

coming week brings to campus is a reminder of my experience as a student at Southern Miss,” she said. Now as an alumna, I get to show my daughter how great it is to be a Golden Eagle.”

Greek Life to welcome new sorority Kristy Shelley Printz Reporter Alpha Chi Omega sorority will soon become a part of the Greek Life community at The University of Southern Mississippi. Alpha Chi Omega will join seven other sororities as part of the College Panhellenic Council.

The extension process began in Spring 2013 when the Exploratory Committee was formed. The committee had one advisor and undergraduate representatives from each of the seven CPC chapters.

The committee reviewed statistics, such as overflow of sorority housing and the increase in women going through formal recruitment at USM. From there, the Exploratory Committee recommended that CPC open for extension, and an Extension Committee was formed.

A bulletin was then submitted to the National Panhellenic Conference, which is the council for 27 different sororities, including the seven CPC sororities on campus.

This bulletin stated that USM was open for extension.

CPC President, Serena Williams, said the Extension Committee went through a lengthy review process.

“This committee reviewed packets from the chapters that applied to be a part of USM. The Extension Committee chose three out of all that applied, and invited each of the national organizations to meet our campus,” Williams said.

“After multiple interviews and

Zachary Odom/Printz

presentations, the Extension Committee recommended that we invite Alpha Chi Omega to the USM community,” she added.

The University of Southern Mississippi and CPC approved this recommendation and Alpha Chi Omega accepted the invitation.

Kiffani Zackery, a member of Alpha Delta Pi sorority, said the addition of a new sorority is much needed.

“Greek Life as a whole is grow-

ing rapidly here at USM and adding another sorority to campus will definitely give potential new members more opportunities to become a part of this wonderful community,” Zackery said.

Brooke McCray, a member of Phi Mu sorority, agreed that the expansion of the Greek Life community is necessary.

“When recruitment moved from August to September in 2010, CPC Recruitment had

record-breaking numbers and pledge classes for all houses almost doubled in size,” McCray said. “Since then, chapters have only been getting bigger and I think adding another sorority will not only help to balance out numbers, but also bring more variety in the Greek system.

“With Kappa Alpha Theta leaving in 2008, I think that it is important to bring back an eighth house and strive to make Greek Life bigger and better every year,” she added.

McCray has been an active part of the expansion process, attending two of three presentations about the potential new sororities. She feels Alpha Chi Omega was the best choice for Southern Miss.

“I think that Alpha Chi Omega can bring something different to the table and easily transition into the CPC system. They have a very strong national system and are present at many large universities nationwide,” McCray said.

“I was concerned that we would add a chapter that would simply imitate another,” she added. “But with Alpha Chi Omega, I feel they will have the ability to be characterized by their own strong qualities and bring freshness to the CPC community.”

Alpha Chi Omega will begin colonizing at Southern Miss during fall 2014.

Colonization is the process in which a sorority recruits members in a process separate from formal recruitment.

“During this process, the current

Panhellenic will support Alpha Chi Omega in every way possible to ensure they successfully recruit member up to average chapter size, which is now 145. They will join the formal recruitment process in fall 2015,” Williams said.

“I am excited that Alpha Chi Omega is coming to campus. They will bring so much to our existing community. They are a great fit with the seven existing organizations, but will also bring something new to the table that no one else has before,” said President of Pi Beta Phi sorority Ruthanne Jose.

She said that during the colonization of Alpha Chi Omega, they will target women on campus who aren’t Greek.

“If women aren’t Greek now, they obviously haven’t found their home with the existing organizations,” Jose said. “Something I would love for Alpha Chi Omega is to find their home at USM, but also help women on campus who aren’t Greek find their home too.”

Williams said Alpha Chi Omega is a unique, thriving national organization that will bring something new to USM’s CPC community.

“It’s motto, ‘Real. Strong. Women.’ signifies its focus on member development, and its charity towards victims of domestic violence will grant more diversity to Southern Miss community service,” Williams said.

USM to host College Hall ribbon cutting Wilton Jackson Printz Reporter The University of Southern Mississippi will host a formal ribboncutting ceremony to re-open College Hall Friday, Oct. 25, at 2 p.m.

College Hall was the first academic building on campus. It housed classrooms, administrative offices, the library, an auditorium and the university president’s office.

“Over the years, the building underwent several renovations and

served as the home of multiple academic departments and administrative offices,” said Joel Lucero, associate director of the Physical Plant.

Over the last two years, the building has undergone a $6 million renovation and restoration. It’s now the home of the School of Mass Communication and Journalism.

“The renovation went very well and College Hall is going to make a great home for us,” said Chris Campbell, director of the School of Mass Communication and Journalism. “We think it will dramatically raise the school’s profile and allow us

to attract great faculty and students.”

The ceremony allows the USM Foundation to begin The Campaign for Mass Comm, a fundraising initiative related to the College Hall renovation.

“Two days after we publicly announced the campaign last February, the tornado struck, and our efforts were appropriately re-directed,” said Bob Pierce, vice president of advancement and executive director of the USM Foundation. “The ribbon cutting will allow us to update supporters and to restore the campaign, which has extraordinary potential.”

The first and second floors of the building house faculty and administrative offices, five classrooms, the computer labs, a digital photo lab and photo studio. The third floor houses the student media operations including The Student Printz, WUSM-FM, a recording studio, television studio and offices for student media operations.

The building is also equipped with energy-efficient features such as double-pane glass and lights that go off automatically when rooms aren’t in use.

Dale Partners of Jackson served

as the project’s architect, led by Matt Brilley. Beau Dubose managed the project for the contractor, Yates Construction.

College Hall will allow mass communication and journalism students to work in a real-world setting outside of the classroom.

“We expect the third floor will be a 24-7 operation, with students working at the Printz, radio station and in the TV and recording studios,” Campbell said. “Learning to work collaboratively in a setting like this [is] going to make them very marketable when they graduate.”

USM hosts Alcohol Awareness Week Kirstie Lowery Printz Reporter The College Alcohol Research Team (CART), the Counseling Psychology Student Government (CPSG) and Brief Alcohol Screening and Intervention for College Students (BASICS) counselors will collaborate on College Alcohol Awareness Week Oct. 21 through Oct. 25. The event is designed to teach students about myths surrounding alcohol awareness, how their drinking habits can affect them mentally and physically and how they can change them.

“Our goal is to help students become more aware of their drinking patterns, how their drinking may impact their life including their academic and personal goals and to help them choose if and how

they may want to reduce the consequences they experience as a result of their drinking,” said Michael Madson, associate professor in the psychology department.

Though College Alcohol Awareness Week occurs annually on college campuses throughout the country, this is the first year it will be held at Southern Miss. “Our plan is to make it an annual event to promote safe drinking on our campus,” said Kayla Moorer, CART member and junior doctoral student in the counseling psychology program.

CART members usually conduct research on the safe drinking habits of Southern Miss students. But, this year USM will expand alcohol awareness-related activities in an attempt to reach more people. “This year we are participating in CAAW as a means to reach out to the greater campus community and hope-

fully help students to engage in safer drinking behavior to reduce the harms often associated with drinking alcohol,” Madson said.

During the five-day event, students will participate in various activities that will educate them on the risks each person takes when he or she consumes alcohol.

Several events that will take place include alcohol screenings in the R.C. Cook Union Lobby Wednesday, Oct. 23 from 10:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. and Myth Busting in the Payne Center Atrium Thursday, Oct. 24 from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m.

During the alcohol screenings, students will discuss their drinking habits and talk about what they can do to change them, if they so choose.

The Myth Busting activity will educate attendees on the myths of alcohol and the damage it can cause.

College Alcohol Awareness Week isn’t designed to label people that choose to consume alcohol. Instead, it seeks to make each attendee think about changing their drinking habits, as well as what they can do to prevent alcohol-related tragedies.

“The goal is to make students aware of harmful drinking patterns and

provide information on the effects of alcohol,” said Christopher Morabito, a graduate student in the counseling psychology program.

“Our hope is not to condemn anyone for their drinking behavior, but to encourage the use of protective strategies while drinking in order to steer clear of life-altering consequences,” Moorer said.

Scianna changes the face of USM April Garon Printz Reporter The recent installation of ‘Lofty Return,’ a pair of golden eagle statues, contributed by Chuck Scianna, has put him in the spotlight at Southern Miss once again. The USM alumnus has been the benefactor behind many new campus projects on campus in the last few years.

Even with so many notable contributions made to Southern Miss, Scianna has managed to stay out of the limelight.

“He does not like to brag about things,” said Vice President of University Advancement and Executive Director of the USM Foundation Bob Pierce.

The man behind the $5 million pledge that led to the naming of Scianna Hall, the ‘Lofty Return’ statues, scholarship donations and funding for Eaglepalooza, has a story worth telling.

“He’s one of the funniest people I’ve ever met and doesn’t take himself seriously,” Pierce said. “For someone that has achieved such a high level of professional success, that is important to know.”

A Bay St. Louis native, Scianna graduated from Southern Miss in 1975 with a degree in finance. During his time in Hattiesburg, he worked full time as a co-manager for A&P Food Stores to put himself through school. Currently, he is the cofounder and president of SimTex L.P., based out of Waller, Texas. The company is one of the leading suppliers of oil country tubular goods.

Scianna has hired many people over the years, and to him, the importance of work ethic can’t be understated.

“As an employer, and most employers that I know, give preference to those that worked while they were in school, participated in band or athletics —did more than just be a student,” Scianna said. “It doesn’t show they are smarter, but it shows how they have tenacity, drive and motivation.”

Scianna had plenty of tenacity when he relocated to Texas after he graduated to pursue a career in the oil industry.

“At that time period, there were not a lot of jobs in Mississippi,” he said. “I went west to Texas with a vision of getting into the oil field somehow. A man’s word was his bond. The Texas oil men were bigger than life. The oil field was glamorous, sexy, a huge attraction. It still is.”

Scianna said Texas was and continues to be a state of mind: One of independence and unlimited opportunity. In addition to his career in the oil field, he’s a Marine Corps Vietnam Veteran.

Now the businessman and his wife, Rita, invest time and funds to many charitable organizations including the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, YMCA, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Minitz Foundation.

Despite his community involvement, Scianna doesn’t believe he and his wife are charitable people.

“We are not charitable individuals, because we have great

Chuck Scianna

expectations that the recipients will be good stewards and invest it properly,” he said. “We want to see a significant return—more people with better educations and better facilities.”

Pierce disagreed with Scianna’s self-assessment.

“He is incredibly generous,” Pierce said. “He refers to his contributions as investments

and expects a return on charities he supports. He expects the money not only to make a difference but to see how his investment will pay off.”

Pierce said Scianna has made small monetary gifts to the university throughout the years, but his major gift-giving started in 2011 with a $5 million pledge to the construction of the new business building that will bear his name.

“It was an incredible gift. The building would not be under construction now were it not for Chuck Scianna,” Pierce said.

“It was absolutely overwhelming—not many people give such a significant investment so early in the relationship.”

He said Scianna pledged an additional $1 million in May 2012 to get a matching donation.

‘Lofty Return’ was in the same vein.

Pierce said Scianna offered to commission the sculptures

without the university asking or expecting the contribution.

“It’s got such an emotional impact for students and faculty to show pride for the golden eagles.

And finally, this is the first time the emblem is the same in both Hattiesburg and the Gulf Coast,” Pierce said, referring to the identical statue being installed on the Gulf Coast campus.

Scianna’s pride in his alma mater is clear in his investments, and in his continued involvement on campus. He delivered the commencement address in Spring 2012, and he still wears his Southern Miss class ring. When asked what his advice is for students, he spoke to something that seems to be his area of expertise.

“Don’t lie to yourself and to other people,” Scianna said. “If you are yourself you will be successful.”

REVIEW

Looking for scary? Don’t see “Carrie” Alan Rawls Printz Reporter While “Carrie,” the new remake of Brian de Palma’s 1976 movie based on a Stephen King novel, is an entertaining film, it’s not what you want to watch if you’re in the mood for a horror movie.

If you have no idea what “Carrie” is about, or if you do not want any spoilers, then I suggest you read a different article.

The film was thoroughly enjoyable, but not horrific. Kimberly Peirce, best-known for directing “Boys Don’t Cry,” helmed this remake, which features Chloë Grace Moretz as the sociallyawkward and victimized Carrie White. Peirce did a grand job, but in modernizing this tale of the bullied becoming the bully, Carrie seemed less, well, Carrie.

I don’t blame Moretz, though.

She did a superb job handling a

difficult role. But for the sake of this argument, let us only consider the prom scene.

Both the 1976 and 2013 versions are pretty similar, but with

one exception: Sissy Spacek, the original Carrie, looked a lot more demonic and evil in de Palma’s version. Sure, the special effects weren’t so great, there

were only a few electrocutions and the majority of the deaths were a result of characters being trapped in a burning building.

But Spacek’s character, with her wide eyes and sharp head movements, really freaked the audience out. Creepiest of all, she slowly and calmly walked through the mayhem, and with her telekinetic powers, sealed the doors so that everyone inside would die.

Moretz’s Carrie, on the other hand, displays a mixture of rage and awe, which isn’t a bad thing since it shows how much Carrie is out of control. But she doesn’t look quite as angry as Spacek’s version.

Instead of walking, she uses her powers to float out of the school.

There was a lot more carnage in Peirce’s remake, but Spacek as Carrie made it look like all hell had broken loose.

Other than that, Peirce did an excellent job. Remakes are tricky, since audiences don’t

want to deviate from the classic, yet they don’t want mindless regurgitation and imitation.

Peirce found a happy medium between deviation and imita-

tion, staying true to not only the formula, but to modern technology and King’s 1974 novel.

In terms of plot, everything was the same as de Palma’s. It

was the little things that were changed. Instead of Miss Collins, the name of the kind-hearted teacher is Miss Desjardin, as King intended it.

Desjardin also survives the prom, unlike Miss Collins in the original film. The girls’ locker room scene was the same as de Palma’s – throwing tampons and sanitary napkins at Carrie, chanting “Plug it up!” – except the main bully, Chris Hargensen, uses her smartphone to take a video of the incident, and then posts that video online.

These and other changes kept it relatable to modern audiences and also stayed a little truer to King’s novel than de Palma’s version. For that, I respect Peirce, the writers and their final product.

If you want to be frightened, “Carrie” is not the movie for you.

But if you want to see the dramatic, almost-Shakespearean tale of an estranged girl’s tragic rampage, then I highly recommend it.

Microwave-friendly fall recipes Destiny Reynolds Printz Reporter

Fall is finally here. With cold weather beginning to creep its way in and the daylight beginning to fade away, it can be tempting to stay curled up in your dorm or apartment with close friends and a nice, homemade meal. This presents a problem for those who live on campus and are without the

means to make an elaborate meal. As the recipes below prove, with a little time and the use of a microwave, it’s possible to create a hearty fall-themed meal to rival your parents’ home-cooking.

Corn and Pepper Chowder

Hot Spiced Cider

Pumpkin Bread

Makes 4 servings

Makes 4 to 6 servings

Makes 8-inch loaf

• 5 slices bacon, cut into ½ inch pieces • ¼ cup finely chopped onion • ¼ cup finely chopped celery • ¼ cup finely chopped red bell pepper • ¼ cup finely chopped green bell pepper • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour • 1 can (19 oz.) whole kernel corn with liquid • 1 medium-sized potato, peeled, cut into ½ inch cubes • 2 cups milk • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley • ½ teaspoon dried dill weed (or 1 tsp chopped fresh dill) • ½ teaspoon salt

• 3 cups apple cider

• 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar

• ½ cup packed brown sugar

• 1 one-inch cinnamon stick

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon whole cloves

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

In a 1-quart glass measuring cup, combine the cider, brown sugar, cinnamon stick and cloves. Microwave on high power for 5 to 6 minutes or until the cider starts to boil. Strain the cider into serving mugs and finish with a dash of nutmeg.

• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice

• ¾ teaspoon salt • 1 cup canned pumpkin • 2/3 cup vegetable oil • 2 eggs

• ¼ teaspoon white pepper

• 1/3 cup finely chopped nuts

In a 2-quart microwave-proof casserole dish, combine the bacon, onion, celery and peppers.

Microwave uncovered on high power for 8 to 9 minutes or until bacon is crisp and vegetables are tender, stirring halfway through the cooking cycle.

Remove the dish from the microwave and blend in the flour. Stir in the corn, potato, milk, parsley, dill, salt and white pepper. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and poke holes in the wrap to allow steam to escape.

Microwave on high power for 13 to 15 minutes or until the chowder has thickened and the potatoes are tender, stirring every 5 to 7 minutes during the cooking cycle.

Garnish with fresh dill.

Line the bottom of an 8x4 microwave-safe loaf pan with wax paper and set it aside. In a medium mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Beat at low speed using an electric mixer until moistened. Beat at high speed for 1 minute, occasionally scraping the edges of the bowl. Spread the batter evenly in the loaf pan. Shield the ends of the pan with 2-inch strips of foil. Microwave the dish for 5 to 9 minutes, rotating the dish after the halfway point. Remove the foil and microwave on high for 6 to 7 minutes or until the center springs back when touched lightly and no uncooked batter remains on the bottom. Let the loaf cool for 5 to 10 minutes before attempting to remove it from the pan or slicing.

Student Printz, Page 7

First USM African-American scholarship athlete dies Joshua Campbell Sports Editor

Former Southern Miss football player Willie Heidelburg died Tuesday at age 63 in Jackson.

Heidelburg was the first African-American to receive a scholarship and playing time for USM and paved the way toward the school integrating its athletic programs. He first saw action in 1970 and immediately proved to be a playmaker for USM’s offense and special teams.

His play and his role in integrating the university earned him a spot in the M-Club Sports Hall of Fame. He finished his two-year stay at Southern Miss with 6 total touchdowns.

“Willie Heidelburg changed the fabric of college sports in the state of Mississippi and at Southern Miss,” said Bill Mc-

Gillis, Southern Miss director of athletics. “He led our football team on the field, on campus

Willie Heidelburg

and in the classroom, and even after he graduated his accomplishments as a teacher and as

a coach brought great recognition to our University.”

Prior to joining USM’s foot-

ball team, Heidelburg earned honorable mention All-American honors while playing for Pearl River Junior College. He is also a member of the Pearl River CC Sports Hall of Fame.

He was in his 40th year as a coach at the time of his death. He spent 25 years coaching at Murrah High School and the last 15 years coaching for Belhaven University where he served as the running backs and receivers coach.

His legacy will never be forgotten at Southern Miss as he made long strides for the university both on and off the field.

Football

Southern Miss falls to ECU 55-14 Judge Lucas Printz Reporter Southern Miss lost to East Carolina 55-14 Saturday in front of 45,005 fans at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium. The loss was the Golden Eagles’ sixth of the year and continued the nation’s current longest losing streak at 18.

Southern Miss dropped to 0-6 overall and 0-2 in Conference USA play.

The Eagles would be on the losing end of history again after ECU receiver Justin Hardy caught a 1-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to improve his career total to 21, good for second most in ECU history. Pirates quarterback Shane Carden was surgically precise with his passing game as Southern Miss fell under his scalpel for 308 yards and three touchdowns.
