“A wise man once told me, ‘It’s easier to correct a boy than a man,’ which is what we are at-tempting here.”

Monday night, the Wellness Am-bassadors and Students Against Destructive Decisions of Southern Miss hosted a program to promote prevention of alcohol, sex and do-mestic abuse among students. � e program, “True Life: I Was A� ected by Alcohol,” featured testimonies of victims of alcohol-related incidents and a segment by honored speaker and Assistant to the Dean in the College of Science and Technology Andre Heath.

“I want to share with my audience the high cost of poor decisions made when alcohol is abused,” Heath said. “I want to stress the importance of

individual responsibility and group accountability when partying with friends who are drinking.”

Darryl Harris, a junior business administration and marketing dou-ble major, is a member of Wellness Ambassadors, an initiative started by Student Health Services and Jodi Ryder, health education and promo-tion coordinator.

Harris said the organization was founded to create a healthier and more aware Southern Miss campus.

“We wish to properly educate our audience hoping that they will de-part more enlightened,” Harris said.

One of the testimonies of the program included Davontae Wash-ington, treasurer of USM’s Student Government Association, who lost a friend because of a drunk driver in 2010. USM students who were lost to violence that was ampli� ed by

Cyberspace is a rapidly grow-ing world full of possibilities and opportunities. However, with this expansion of cyberspace comes the necessity for more awareness and re-sponsibility in the digital realm.

� roughout this week, Southern Miss is hosting a series of events to raise awareness of the importance of being civil in cyberspace on both the Hattiesburg and Gulf Coast campus-es. � e campaign began Saturday at the Homecoming game when the Southern Miss Creed was unveiled on the Jumbotron just before kicko�

and will continue through � ursday.About two years ago, a committee

of students, faculty and sta� was put together to plan ways the university could get ahead on the best prac-tices and guidelines for use of social media. As a result, Southern Miss is leading a week of social media blitz in which two basic messages will be spread on the Southern Miss cam-pus: Cyberspace = Public Space and Civility in Cyberspace.

“Cyberspace is a very power-ful, positive communication tool,” said Rebecca Woodrick, Director of USM’s Equal Employment and A� rmative Action o� ce. “� e � ip side is it also has some risks. We are not suggesting do this, don’t do that;

we are trying to provide good infor-mation so that employees and stu-dents can make informed decisions about how they use social media.”

Russell Anderson, Director of Ca-reer Services and a member of the committee, said USM wants to be more pro-educational.

“We want to say, ‘Here are the boundaries that you need to be aware of and you should know when you cross them,’” Anderson said. “With technology I’m not sure that there are � rm boundaries on a lot of things.”

� e theme of Civility encompass-es the act of showing regard for oth-ers and formally expressing respect

At last week’s Friday Night at the Fountain, Eaglepalooza di-rectors announced that Karmin and Melanie Fiona are headlin-ing the downtown concert event this year.

Eaglepalooza director John Barr and assistant director Jazmyne Butler made the an-nouncement together to students, faculty and staff.

Butler said that the lineup was announced at Friday Night at the Fountain because Eaglepalooza is a larger concert that is a part of

the USM concert tradition. “Announcing the headliners at

Friday Night at the Fountain gets the word out to the large group of students who attend our spon-sored concerts,” Butler said.

Butler also said that the Eagle-palooza committee received lots of requests for Karmin to head-line the premier concert event this year. “She has had millions of hits on Youtube and has per-formed on the BET Awards as well as Ellen.”

Karmin’s diversity in her music as well as performing originial covers of current popular music makes her appealing to large au-diences as well as a good head-

liner for Eaglepalooza 2011.Melanie Fiona is a R&B

and soul singer who used to be in a band with rap super-star Drake in her younger years. She will be the second headliner at Eaglepalooza this year.

Butler said that the goal of this year’s Eaglepalooza is for more people to come and have fun with the Hattiesburg community.

“We wanted to reach out to stu-dents this year and see what they wanted,” Butler said.

John Barr said for studetns to be on the lookout for more bands to be unvieled for Eaglepalooza 2011—it’s sure to please.

Starting at noon Wednesday in the Thad Cochran Center, Southern Miss will be holding its annual fall career fair for students.

According to the Career Ser-vices webpage, students “have the opportunity to meet employers, ask questions about their posi-tion and company and introduce yourself as a prime candidate for future openings.”

There are 84 employers attend-ing the fair, including newcom-ers C-Spire, Beau Rivage and Stion, as well as 12 graduate and professional schools.

Most employers at the career fair are from the Southeast, yet “many company representatives might be coming from a Missis-sippi office but can recruit for national positions.”

Rusty Anderson, director of Ca-reer Services, stated that in order for students to be successful at the fair, they must “complete research on companies and find matches to their

skill sets, prepare a resume and ques-tions for employers and be properly dressed and able to speak about their interests in a company and have a career focus.”

The recommended appropriate attire for freshman and sophomores is business casual, while attire for ju-niors and seniors should be business professional, meaning a business suit for men and business pants or a skirt for women.

Anderson also encouraged students to “bring resumes tai-lored to five to eight target orga-nizations” and “research notes on target companies.”

Anderson also suggested students bring resumes for other companies of interest.

Although the career fair is not a job fair, students have been suc-cessful in finding employment after graduation. Even if a student is is not hired by a company, the real success is in their networking with numer-ous employers.

Students are encouraged to look at the Career Services web-site at the “Career Guide” for ad-ditional information.

towards one’s peers both in person and online.

“We chose to emphasize civility because the pace of technology and cyberspace now allows us to com-municate with each other in some amazing ways and in some very quick ways,” Woodrick said. “It is a much faster pace then our cultural awareness of the need for civility and practicing civility when we engage in that communication tool known as social media.”

Associate Dean of Students Brooks Moore said the creed was written by students, faculty and staff and adopted by the university dur-ing Founder’s Day in March 2010.

“The creed is a statement of values and norms that are advanced by the student body, so they clearly outline what the expectations are,” Moore said. “Any time we can reiterate what the values of the student body are, it’s a good thing.”

At the Homecoming game, 2,200 wrist bands with the slogan “Do you C? Civility” were passed out, and Civility posters have been put up in residence halls and academic build-ings around campus.

On Thursday, a tent will be set up in Shoemaker Square, where remaining wristbands and t-shirts will be handed out, and students will read the Creed on camera as an elec-tronic signature.

During summer preview, the Dean of Students Office started introducing these messages to in-coming students and their families

about appropriateness in college, self responsibility and self awareness. Moore said the office will continue doing outreach and education on these concepts.

“We want to create a stronger sense of awareness with the student body,” Moore said. “While it may not be an awareness week, there will be a continued reiteration of the themes therein, because these are themes that resonate with the student body and that are relevant to today’s stu-dent population.”

“Southern Miss is continuing to be a mobile campus,” Anderson said. “The use of technology is integrated into our everyday learning experi-ences. And the university is not go-ing to go away from that direction, so this is an effort to engage students responsibly therein.”

Woodrick said the committee doesn’t take a negative stance on so-cial media; it merely wants to make students aware of the responsibility that comes with using social media. “It’s a powerful, terrific great com-munication tool,” Woodrick said. “It has broken down geographical bar-riers, it has shrunk the world, and it has revolutionized education. But it comes with some potential high cost as well.”

With every post, tag, tweet and text, a person is leaving his or her digital footprint in cyberspace. Now Southern Miss is educating its students, faculty and staff in how to let their online actions re-flect who they are.

Amanda McDaniel, a senior at Southern Miss, and members of all-girl band Chic Bang Theory will compete on BET’s 106 & Park on Nov. 2. They will be performing their single “Diggin You” during the Wild-Out Wednesday segment of the show.

106 & Park is a regular afternoon weekday show that airs current popular music videos in 90 to 120 minute slots. Since its creation in 2000, 106 & Park has been a top ten countdown show and features artist interviews by the deejays. Chic Bang Theory received the opportunity to compete on the show after winning Blaze the Stage Artist Showcase &

Auditions in Atlanta, Ga. this past August.

McDaniel said their music ranges from R&B and hip-hop to soft rock, but they consider themselves a neo-soul R&B band. Chic Bang Theory has been together for over a year af-ter and originated in Jackson, Miss. The six members have diverse mu-sical backgrounds that help them form a solid band instrumentally and vocally. Many of the band mem-bers had worked together previously and had a solid fan base under their previous name, Calico Panache.

McDaniel joined the band in Feb-ruary after performing with them at the “Live, Love, Listen” show at The Power House. For her, McDaniel said that competing on 106 & Park “is a surreal and major accomplish-ment.” While this is a major step for

her and for the band, she still has to manage school, extracurricular ac-tivities and work.

“Managing time for school has been difficult because mu-sic does consume a lot of time,” McDaniel said. “I do have very helpful classmates that keep me informed. Speech pathology is a demanding major, but they keep me on top of things.”

This trip will be McDaniel’s first time flying as the band heads to New York for the competition.

“We’re most looking forward to representing Mississippi,” McDaniel said. “We all sought higher educa-tion in this state, and a lot of our fan base is here. We just want to have fun, perform well and continue to do what we love to do.”

After the competition, the band

hopes to play at more diverse venues and for wider ranges of audi-ences since their music crosses multiple genres.

After 106 & Park, Chic Bang Theory will open for Miguel and Piles at Jackson State University Nov. 19. McDaniel said there is also talk of an upcom-ing Christmas album.

A donation area to support Chic Bang Theory has been set up on their website, and more information about the competition and voting process has been posted on www.chicbangtheory.com.

drug/alcohol abuse were also hon-ored during the event.

The Wellness Ambassadors have reached out to several high schools in the area to gain seniors who will be entering college for the first time in the next year.

“We are trying to make college students realize that the deci-

sions they make today will affect them tomorrow,” Harris said. “If we can save one person from al-coholism then we are one step closer to achieving our goal.”

Harris said that everyone was invited to attend this event and that it aimed to provide benefi-cial information that will affect a wide audience.

It is real life examples of nega-tive consequences people face when they abuse alcohol that seems to best get the point across, Heath said.

“Unfortunately, peer pres-sure is often the cause of binge drinking and bad decision making,” Heath said. “People have a strong desire for accep-

tance and inclusion. When the pressure is strong, personal willpower can become weak.”

Both Harris and Heath agree that more programs like these are needed to make a lasting im-pact on students’ lives and that support for the organizations that put on these programs are needed from the universities.

Schools can also encourage healthy lifestyle habits through the availability of counseling and support services, Heath said.

“Often the lessons learned dur-ing these programs are quickly forgotten,” Heath said. “Repeti-tion is the mother of all learning.”

In Review: Newest indie releasesMUSIC REVIEW

Real Estate – “Days”Oct. 18

For fans of: Surfer Blood, Woods and Wild Nothing

“Days,” the follow-up to Real Estate’s 2009 debut album, of-fers a more heavily produced representation of the band’s trademark style. Though re-corded with higher production values that evoke crisper, more polished notes, the hypnotic melodies and raw positivity of each of the 10 tracks are unmis-takably inspired by American surfer rock. Throughout “Days,” airy vocals sway listeners into a melodic lull as each note weaves into a dream-like whole. Over-all, the harmonies are well blended uniformly from track to track so well that no distinct transitions are needed between tracks. “Days” is a suite of “time-lessly melodic, achingly melan-choly” surf-pop tunes.

Los Campesinos! - “Hello Sadness”

Nov. 15For fans of: Arcade Fire and

� e Dodos

Since their 2007 EP, these “post-modern punk-poppers” have put out a steady stream of successful releases. In a state-ment to Spin magazine, vocalist Gareth Campesinos said con-cerning the upcoming album, “It feels like we’ve done all our growing up while in this band. In that time we’ve all changed as people massively. That’s some-thing we want to put across in the music.” Recorded earlier this year in Girona, Spain, “Hello Sadness” has been deemed by critics as Los Campesinos (The Peasants) “most melodic, direct and exhilarating” record of their career and has been summed up as a 10 track compilation of “love, loss and heartbreak.”

M83 - “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming”

Oct. 18For fans of: Robin Guthrie and

Villenueve

Los Angeles based French artist Anthony “M83” Gonzalez has once again indulged in the

grandiose with his sixth record, “Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming.” With “tsunami-like washes of retro synths, saxophone so-los and melancholic vocals,” M83’s newest album expands beyond his typical influences and features tracks that offer a new face to current electronic music. Pitchfork called it “an unaccountably alive, complete album,” giving the record an overall rating of eight and a half. The New York Times said “The music recalls the pumping beats and keyboard hooks of the 1980’s as if through a haze of time, floating in lush echoes that round off the edges.”

Listen to: “Midnight City”

Florence + � e Machine - “Ceremonials”

Nov. 1For fans of: Björk and Kate

Nash

Singer Florence Welch recently told NME that “Ceremonials,” the follow-up to 2009’s “Lungs,” is built around the themes of “love, death, violence and guilt.” Concerning the new record, Welch said, “� ere’s big mo-ments of confession in it, over-coming your demons and try-ing to � nd in song.” Recorded at London’s Abbey Road Studios with producer Paul Epworth, the LP features experimentation in the album’s overall sound. Ac-cording to editorial reviews on iTunes, “Ceremonials” shape-shifts between “mournful grace and transcendent splendor.”

Purchase pets at LollaPEToozaHumane Society of South Mis-

sissippi (HSSM) is currently com-peting in the ASPCA 100K Chal-lenge to save the lives of animals and win hundreds of thousands of dollars in prizes and grants.

The event began on August 1 and will end on Oct. 31. HSSM is the only shelter in Mississip-pi that is competing. As of last Saturday, HSSM was holding strong at fifth place.

Kyrstyna Szczechowski, mar-keting specialist at HSSM, said she was confident that HSSM can earn that first place spot and win the $100,000 grand prize.

“In August we were first in the nation with 309 lives saved. We had an extremely strong

lead. However, we didn’t make an increase in September and stayed steady. We fell to fourth in the nation and we need to be number one so we can win that money and continue to help the animals in South Mississippi,” Szczechowski said.

Located in Gulfport, Miss., HSSM was established in 1952 and serves 12,000 animals per year. A� er Hurricane Katrina, HSSM moved locations to a state-of-the-art 40,000 square foot building to better serve needy animals.

“We adopt anywhere from three to four thousand animals per year. We also fix all animals that are adopted from HSSM,” Szczechowski said.

Szczechowski also said that HSSM offers return to owner services. “We have people who come from Hattiesburg to bring

animals they found.”Forty-nine shelters around the

country are competing to save the most animals’ lives in the ASPCA 100K Challenge. While HSSM is the only shelter in Mississippi that’s competing, they have partnered with Southern Pines Animal Shel-ter in Hattiesburg over the past month to save more animals.

“At times we’ve pulled so many many animals from Southern Pines that they haven’t had to euthanize any animals for a day during the week,” Szczechowski said. “On October 12, we didn’t have to euthanize any healthy animals for the first time ever.”

On Sunday, LollaPETooza, the Coast’s first pet-friendly musical adoption festival was held at Centennial Plaza in Gulfport. There were more than 100 adoptable pets on

hand to choose from, as well as activities for current pet own-ers, arts and crafts, food and free microchipping.

Next weekend, HSSM is hosting Empty the Shelter adopt-a-thon. � ere will be ten dollar adoptions all day long, and the � rst ten adop-tions each day are free.

“We’re a leader in animal wel-fare in the nation,” Szczechowski said. “We know it’s hard for stu-dents to adopt pets, but it’s so easy to vote for our shelter online so we can receive a $25,000 grant and get back ahead in the rankings.”

Online voting will be avail-able until Oct. 31. People can vote once per day per e-mail ad-dress at votetosavelives.org.

University of Southern Missis-sippi students said that it’s very im-portant to adopt animals in shelters.

Kirsty Schmitt, a sophomore ad-

vertising major, said that people need to adopt due to overpopulation.

“If more people opted to adopt a pets over buying or breeding, pet homelessness could end. When adopting from a shelter, adoption specialists take time to learn your personality and lifestyle so that they can match you with a pet that’s perfect for you,” Schmitt said.

Like HSSM’s Facebook page to stay updated with current events and happenings going on for pet awareness through-out South Mississippi at www.facebook.com/myhssm.

Szczechowski said that link-ing Southern Pines’ photo al-bums to their Facebook page is making a difference in Hatties-burg and on the Gulf Coast.

“I just wanna be friends and save puppies,” Szczechowski said.

Yoga strengthens body and soulStress isn’t uncommon in the

daily life of an average college student, and it’s going to show up as workloads increase. For this reason, it’s important for students to live a healthy life-style and maintain energy.

In history, yoga was a way of life and expanded beyond a good workout. Today, it is mostly practiced for the lean body it gives the faithful. Many celebrities, such as Jennifer Aniston, credit their figures to the now popular workout.

However, yoga doesn’t just make a person look good; it makes him or her feel good.

It is a proven form of relax-

ation and strength, and has more physical and mental health ben-e� ts than most people realize.

The health benefit that may interest college students is yo-ga’s ability to reduce stress.

When a student attends a yoga class or even practices in the peace of his or her home, it can be easy to relax and allow the mind to shut out home-work, money and any other is-sue the student is troubled over.

Those practicing yoga are encouraged to relax and con-centrate on that moment and their body. The concentration and focus is the key to stress re-lief in this particular practice.

The breathing techniques in yoga are also involved in the mind-clearing process. Yoga emphasizes breathing through the nose and not the mouth, which is what most people do throughout the day.

According to Dr. Oz, breath-

ing through the nose brings air and nitric oxide into the lungs. The result is dilated arteries and more oxygen in the body.

Not only can students benefit mentally, but they can also ben-efit physically from the pose, or asana, itself.

The poses of yoga are of-ten held for minutes at a time. When focused, strength, good posture and balance skills are acquired through each pose.

Each pose specifically targets different parts of the body.

For example, chair pose plac-es emphasis on the legs and the lower back, and plank pose fo-cuses on abs and arms. Yoga poses build lean muscle and stretch the body. With time, the poses increase � exibility of the muscles and joints in the human body. Yogis o� en � nd that with practice, their bodies are able to sink deeper into the movements.

Yoga is also credited with align-

ing the spine and improving pos-ture because it encourages standing straight and tall and spinal health.

Graduate student Jessica Pogue practices yoga three times a week and echoed these bene� ts in her personal practice.

“More importantly, it makes me mentally and physically stronger,” Pogue said.

While students are encour-aged to go deeper into the poses, he or she should never do more than is comfortable, especially as a beginner.

“I noticed a small improvement a� er a week or two, then increas-ingly more and more,” Pogue said.

To receive full mental and physical benefit, yoga teachers encourage participants to focus their mind on the movement of their body and the breathing techniques that are essential to the practice. To some, the best part of yoga is that it normal-ly doesn’t take long to see the benefits of the hard work.

Eagles big win leads to national ranking

Conference USA teams might be in trouble. The Southern Miss Golden Eagles having been putting together scarily domi-nating games. The last three games have been some of the best football played in the Fe-dora Era. The offense clicked to set a record for total yardage in a 48-24 win over Rice on Oct.1. The next week against Navy, the team put together a solid and complete effort to shut down the Midshipmen 63-35. With all the hype surrounding Saturday’s matchup against SMU, Southern Miss looked beyond impressive as they held one of the best of-fenses in the nation to a field goal and took the contest 27-3.

With a 6-1 record overall and

a 2-1 record in C-USA play, the Golden Eagles were rewarded with the No. 25 spot in the USA Today Coaches Poll. This is the first time since 2004 USM has broken into the poll. USM was

close to breaking into the As-sociated Press’s Top 25. Hous-ton (7-0, 3-0) is the only other C-USA team ranked, coming in No. 18. With Marshall’s loss against Houston, Southern Miss

is in the driver’s seat of the East-ern Division and holds the keys to their destiny if they win out.

If Southern Miss can con-tinue getting all three phases of the ball playing at a high level, the conference championship draught will likely end.

“That was about as good as they played since I’ve been here,” said quarterback Austin Davis of how the defense played Sat-urday. “They have played some good games, but I thought SMU had a great offense. We thought coming into the game and our mindset was that ‘Hey they are going to score a lot of points, we will have to score some points as well.’ That is probably as well as they have played.”

The Golden Eagles are not worried about the rankings; they just want to keep continu-ing their success on the field.

“We are just playing football,” linebacker Ronnie Thornton said. “We just want to have fun. We definitely feel like we are playing good football at this time right now.”

“It’s good to be recognized for what you’ve accomplished at this point, but at the same time, you have to understand that there are a lot of people who have been in the Top 25 that aren’t there anymore,” said USM head coach Larry Fedora of the meaning of the Top 25 ranking to the football program. “It’s nice to be recognized but we still have a lot of work to do. If we’re there at the end of the sea-son, that will be a good thing.”

The Golden Eagles will put their national ranking on the line as they battle Texas-El Paso on the road Saturday at 7 p.m. on CBS College Sports.

� e Lady Eagle soccer team sent their seniors out in style with a 2-1 victory over the UAB Lady Blazers Sunday a� ernoon.

“I’m very happy with the out-

come,” said Lady Eagle head coach Scott Ebke. “For me, it was great to have our seniors go out on a winning note today.”

The first goal of the after-noon came when the Lady Ea-gles turned defense into offense by capitalizing on a weak spot

in the UAB defense. The play started with a UAB free kick on the USM side of the field. The ball was sent into the box, where the Lady Eagle defense cleared the ball out to forward Tricia Tillman. Tillman pushed the ball down the field and split two UAB defenders before find-ing a wide open Brooke Hen-drix, sprinting for an easy goal.

“I was just wide open,” Hen-drix said. “I saw Tricia dribbling at me, and the defender wasn’t coming at me. So, I just called for it, took a touch and shot.”

The Lady Blazers were pressed to try to tie it up, and 31 min-utes in they found the equalizer

off the foot of defender Sam Bradford to tie it up 1-1.

That would prove to be the score at the end of regulation as the two teams headed into sud-den death overtime.

UAB began overtime with the ball and were quickly turned away by the Lady Eagle defense. Five minutes into overtime, Jor-dan Wagner of the Lady Eagles found herself with the ball and a wide open lane straight to the goal. Wagner sprinted from outside the penalty box into the six-yard box and then deposit-ed the ball into the top left cor-ner for the game winner.

“I just saw a bunch of our girls running forward, and there were a bunch of people in the box,” Wagner said. “I got to the end-line, and I knew that that girl was a lot quicker than I was on the outside. I thought if I faked a shot she’d dive for it, and she did. When I cut back, I was right in front of the goal, and I didn’t know what to do but to shoot.”

This win puts the Lady Eagles at 4-12-3 overall and 1-8-1 in C-USA, giving them momen-tum heading into next week’s match-up against the Lady Knights of UCF.
