BUDGET

� e administration has an-nounced the plan to cut the uni-versity’s budget by almost $15 million for the next � scal year, meaning the University Priorities Council has temporarily � nished its work.

However, it seems that some students are still not sure what that work entailed. Some students wonder if their voices were heard in the decision-making process.

Two student representatives served on the council. One posi-tion was the SGA president, which switched from J.R. Robinson to Kasey Mitchell midway through the process, and the other was a graduate student representative.

Robinson, former SGA presi-dent, was a part of the early re-search that the committee un-dertook until he relinquished his duties to current SGA president Mitchell.

“I did a lot of the legwork, like research on programs in non-aca-demic and academic areas,” Rob-inson said. “I was more a part of doing the work to get to the point that the committee could make their recommendations.”

Robinson was not part of the � nal decision-making process for the committee, because he gave up his duties when his term ended.

“I hated to transition like that, but Kasey did a good job,” he said. “It’s a hard job to do.”

Robinson added that the fact that Mitchell was not present for the early research probably did not make her job any easier.

Mitchell said she did not make any decisions directly but had her say by reading over the reports from the various initiatives and submitting her rating to the UPC.

Mitchell said she came in at the tail end of the process, but when she attended meetings she was not simply a bystander.

“I spoke up and really spoke on the student’s behalf,” she said. “I know I was very concerned in pushing for general things like scholarships and things that broadly a� ect all students,” Mitchell said.

Students were also represented by Alice Ferguson, a doctoral stu-dent in the school of mass com-munications and journalism.

Religion program suffers fatal blow

USM released its budget re-duction announcement Monday morning, listing the many aca-demic programs facing deletion or consolidation. Among 27 programs listed was the Bachelors of Arts for religion, which, pending approval, will remove the religion major and minor from the university.

Daniel Capper, religion professor and founder of the religion major, is one of the 10 professors in the College of Arts and Letters that has been let go. Capper is also the

faculty advisor to USM’s chapter of Amnesty International and is the head of the study abroad program in India.

When asked about the loss of the religion major, Capper said, “� e in� uence of religion on humanity has been so pervasive that we re-ally cannot understand human life without understanding religion. � is is especially true in a post-Sep-tember 11th world.

“Our major in religion pro-vides resources for students and faculty to explore and appreci-ate these realities in a scholarly, academic way.”

BUDGETUPC, from 1

Tim Rehner, the co-chair of the academic priorities commit-tee, said Ferguson was a “strong voice for students” in the UPC’s recommendation process.

Ferguson said, “(The stu-dents involved) had as much say as anyone else.”

Ferguson, who attended most of the UPC’s meetings since they began late last year, said she was adamant about ask-ing questions anytime she did not understand something that came up in discussion.

One thing Ferguson said she would like to be clearer for the university community is the way that money is allotted. As a for-mer university professor, Fer-guson thought she was well in-formed about how universities worked but learned that budget-ing is much more complex than she had imagined.

“� at made the job di� cult because we had certain things we could turn to and certain things we couldn’t,” said Ferguson.

Rehner added that because of

the work of these students he had “no doubt about student presence” in the UPC’s recommendations.

Some students, however, are not quite as sure about how their input was heard, or even what the UPC was.

Jessie Stringer, an elementary education major from Mandev-ille, La., only heard rumors about the cuts and said she is unsure of why the UPC was created.

Though there is some con-fusion about its purpose, Fer-guson still praised the work of everyone involved in the UPC.

“Everyone was serious about doing the best possible job,” Ferguson said, “I had absolute respect for that.”

Despite their efforts, many students are still disappointed.

“I think for a situation like this, when we’re talking about a budget cut of this size, no matter what the final list would have looked like, it would still be heartbreaking like it is right now,” Ferguson said. “It is an absolute heartbreak.”

Junior physics major Floyd Maseda from Meridian, Miss., said he was infuriated to hear of the major’s cut.

“Maybe if they knew how to turn off building lights at night and knew better than to blow millions of dollars on a point-less wall at the front of campus – maybe if they stopped turn-ing the stadium lights and jum-botron on and leaving them on all night – maybe if they didn’t own a jet, maybe then I would have an inkling of respect for the administrative bullshit that we call the leadership of USM,” Maseda said. “Grad school here? I think not.”

Biology major from Poplar-ville, Miss., Kaylee Gentry said this loss will make the univer-sity a little less unique.

“It’s a terrible shame that we are losing religion as a major, but the removal of all religion classes is nearly a tragedy,” Gentry said. “Understanding other cultures and what they base their lives on is key to be-ing a well-rounded person.

“With all the issues sur-

rounding the Middle East and the misunderstanding of their practices, one would think that now would be the time to em-brace religious courses, not eliminate them. With the loss of several of the language courses earlier in the year and now the removal of German and the re-ligious studies, I feel like South-ern is losing its uniqueness. I liked the variety I saw in this school and eventually chose to go here after some pushing from the alumni in my family, but now it seems I could have just gone anywhere.”

Capper stated he will appeal his termination and that of his program.

“The education in world reli-gions that we provide is a vital component of our university’s appreciation of individual and group diversity,” he said. “For this reason research universi-ties typically treasure their pro-grams in religion. Without the study of religion, a university can no longer claim to be com-prehensive.”

See STUDENTPRINTZ.COM for the story.

As students and faculty learn about the cuts that have been made for Fiscal Year 2012, many question the effectiveness of the University Priorities Council, which was designed to evaluate university programs for areas that can be cut.

Amy Young, an anthropology and sociol-ogy professor at USM, dis-agreed with the cuts listed, especially the t e r m i n a t i o n of tenured-track faculty. She said she found the operations of the UPC vague.

“I really don’t understand the criteria used by the UPC for ranking programs, espe-cially considering that we have no clear mission or vision for USM,” she said.

Kasey Mitchell, Student Gov-ernment Association president, began work with the committee this summer.

“The UPC didn’t just sit down

and say we’re going to cut this and this and this—that’s not how it works...We just have to stay positive and realize that they are doing the best they can do in the circumstances,” she said. Mitch-ell praised the diligence and commitment of the committee members, and she proposed holding an open forum to an-swer lingering questions about

the process and decisions made for the university.

Students and faculty, however, are speaking out against the cuts made to the philosophy and re-ligion department.

“I have difficulty understand-ing how USM can be a real uni-versity without religion, reduced philosophy, and no foreign lan-guages other than French and Spanish,” Young said.

Several students from the re-ligion department have writ-

ten letters to the president and provost in support of their pro-grams. Although they will be able to graduate in their major, some feel it would be an illegiti-mate degree without the instruc-tion of the current professors.

“I’m still hopeful our voices will make a difference,” said Molly Richard, junior religion major from Lafayette, La. If

the religion d e p a r t m e n t cuts sustain, Richard said she would r e l u c t a n t l y switch to an anthropology major. “It’s an entire change

of plans in the middle of my col-lege career,” she said.

President Saunders released a statement Monday outlining the decisions and consequenc-es of the cuts. On the topic of teaching out students she said, “Students enrolled in programs targeted for elimination will be allowed a reasonable time to complete their degree programs. Also, an appeal process is be-ing developed for programs re-questing reconsideration.”

Religion, philosophy programs worth preserving

On Thursday morning I walked into a philosophy class only to en-counter a professor agitated that the whole religion and philosophy department was being called into a meeting with the dean. Word soon got out about the results of that meeting: one discipline had been wiped out and the other had barely survived.

What disappoints me about this decision is it cuts out thought-inten-sive programs, much like last year’s trimming down of the economics department. While it is beneficial for colleges to prepare students for specific jobs, the main goal of a uni-versity is to broaden the minds of its students. Cutting philosophy and religion jeopardizes this mission.

Religious studies will be gone from Southern in less than 12 months, and with it will go classes that help students understand reli-gious diversity. Awareness of other religions and knowledge about how to cooperate with them is crucial for the modern world. Without these classes, we risk breeding miscon-ceptions and failing to properly pre-pare our students for encountering unfamiliar cultures.

Philosophy, too, offers great value

to students. It teaches them how to think logically and come to deci-sions on their own. Compromising rational inquiry by crippling the oldest academic discipline does not benefit the university. It does not prepare students to think and inno-vate beyond college.

The philosophy major will struggle to remain viable due to the reduction in faculty with no fore-seeable reduction in classes. The master’s program has been cut, but most of the graduate-level classes were combined sections with class-es necessary for the undergraduate major. The department will have to offer nearly the same number of classes, but will have fewer teachers available to do it.

Smaller majors like philosophy, religion and economics have so far experienced the brunt of cuts. The loss of a professor in such a small department has a much greater ef-fect on class offerings than the loss of someone in a larger program.

While I hate to see anyone let go, I feel large and small departments should share the burden of cost-saving measures. If small depart-ments are decimated one-by-one, the vibrancy and variety of South-ern Miss’ offerings will quickly suf-fer. As a result, it may become much more difficult to attract students who want greater choices.

I understand that the university must make difficult decisions in tough economic times. Core classes like comparative religion, however, make substantial money for the university due to high enrollment. In fact, every introductory philoso-

phy and comparative religion class offered this semester is full.

With economic, student enrich-ment and program diversity rea-sons against it, I see much cause to lament this decision, and I in-tensely hope that it is not the last

word on religion and philosophy at Southern Miss.

Thrift stores offer more to shoppersWith every college student on a

budget, trendy local stores Milkspill-er and T-Bone’s Records & Cafe of-fer vintage merchandise at a wallet-friendly price.

Just down the street from USM is a retro goldmine. Diverse clothing, quirky jewelry, note-worthy books and toe-tapping music can all be found at the offbeat store Milkspiller.

Owner Jason Kimes described Milkspiller as “an alternative cloth-ing store that specializes in vintage and used high-end clothing, vinyl records, as well as books.”

The vintage t-shirt collection continues to be a top seller along with pearl snap-button shirts and designer jean brands like True Religion, 7 for All Man-kind and Citizens of Humanity.

“The styles are trendy and fash-ionable, funky, and fun,” Kimes said. “We cater to a younger crowd—mu-

sicians, college students and general cool folks in town.”

One of Milkspiller’s goals is to of-fer a more intimate shopping expe-rience with merchandise catering to customers’ wants and needs.

“People shop here because they know they’ll find something unique,” Kimes said. “Our slogan is ‘We love you more than the mall’ because we try to connect with our customers and want to provide a more custom level of service than standardized mall chain stores.”

With the availability and af-fordability of secondhand cloth-ing, many students are migrating toward a more alternative ward-robe. Demi Pritchard, a sopho-more music production major, knows all about vintage style.

“My personality influences the clothes I wear, not caring what people think,” she said. “I feel my clothes show that.”

Her flowing, fiery-red hair, gold metallic boots and fists full of cock-tail rings, display her eclectic mix of the old and new used to customize her wardrobe.

“Most of my clothes come from thrift stores,” she said. “I enjoy the Calico Mall in downtown Hatties-burg. They sell anything from dino-saur fossils to vintage clothing.”

A little farther down Hardy Street is T-Bone’s Records & Cafe, a music mega store with a surplus of CDs, DVDs, vinyl records and even an in-house coffee and sandwich shop. USM grad student and loyal T-Bone’s customer Justin Howard fre-quents T-Bone’s in search of used vinyl albums to add to his grow-ing collection, most of which came from T-Bone’s.

“T-Bone’s a vital part of the Hat-tiesburg musical scene,” Howard said. “The people who own the store are as passionate about music as anyone you’ll ever meet. Their music selection has all of the usual

mainstream pop music but also dedicates just as much attention to more underground and indepen-dent music.”

Sophomore Fred Spence’s love of Blues music draws him to T-Bone’s.

“The people that work there are so willing to help you find whatever music you’re looking for and have introduced me to quite a few artists. All music is timeless, and if I have access to it then I will listen to it. ”

With the accessibility of Milk-spiller and T-Bones’s Records & Cafe to USM’s campus, students can put on an old record, try on some retro clothes and take a step back into the past.

Thirsty Hippo holds Open Mic NightThe Thirsty Hippo in down-

town Hattiesburg brings fun to an overlooked weekday: Wednesday. Generally, this day is nothing more than a remind-er that you are not yet through the week. However, the Hippo’s Wednesday Open Mic Night is changing that.

“It’s the middle of the week, but you can come to the Hip-po,” said junior biology major Michael Farmer. Farmer said he has been coming to the Hippo since high school and really enjoys seeing his friends on stage. “It’s a good opportunity for them to get exposure and to practice in front of an audi-ence,” he said.

The intimate nature of the Hippo allows for personal and involving shows. “Sometimes [when friends are onstage], I’ll heckle them, and they’ll incor-porate that into their material,” Farmer said. Comics constant-ly ask for feedback from the crowd, and it is evident they depend a lot on how the crowd is feeling.

Open Mic Night has been

around for years, but only re-cently it became largely comedic. Regardless of the type of perfor-mance, it is an opportunity for locals to try their hand at being on stage, as long as it’s original. Songs must be written by the performer, and jokes must be written by the comic.

Open Mic Night participant Robbie Gowdy, a senior from Ridgeland, Miss., said he had a strong sense of audience during his parts. “The stuff I did tonight was all new, and I felt moments where it could have been better.”

The Hippo offers more than Wednesday night excitement; it is an opportunity for anyone who has ever had the itch to perform. “I’ve always lived my life under the illusion that I was funny,” Gowdy said. “This was an oppor-tunity to see if I was right.”

“I love the rush and the re-spect,” said Corbin McDavitt, a Jones County Junior College freshman. “I’m the youngest comic, and I originally thought it would put me at odds. I can’t even buy a beer!” But McDavitt captured the crowd with origi-nal jokes taken from his daily life, and he said he can see the humor in everyday situations. “I think of the audience, where

I am, and don’t care about of-fending people,” McDavitt said.

“I mostly sit around and laugh at funny things from my life, then write it down,” said Zach Lamplugh, a recent USM graduate. “I have a journal of funny things. It’s really pushed me creatively to focus on some-thing related to my career.” An

aspiring filmmaker, Lamplugh said he was one of the first com-ics to join in at the Hippo be-ginning two weeks after Open Mic Night started.

The environment of the Hip-po lends itself to a friendly at-mosphere. After a set, comics are rushed by fans, friends and newcomers —people genuinely

excited by their effort. “It’s fun because they’re funny,

but it’s funnier because they’re my friends,” said Farmer.

For returning performers, the exposure is definitely evident. “People will see me around and be like, ‘Hey, you’re that funny guy,’” said Lamplugh. He said that is his biggest compliment.

USM will kick o� ESPN college football on � ursday. � is year’s team will showcase many new fac-es in the starting lineup of � urs-day’s game versus South Carolina. � e o� ensive line will have four new starters, with Cameron Zipp being the only player returner from that unit.

“� e o� ensive line may be short on experience this year, but there is no shortage of talent,” said of-fensive line coach, Chris Kapilovic.

“We do have to spoon-feed a lot of these younger players, but from a talent standpoint we have a lot of talent, and we believe that these guys can be really good football players,” said Kapilovic.

� e newcomers will look to cen-ter Cameron Zipp for leadership this season. Zipp said it has been a transition, but the players are � -nally coming together as a unit.

“I think that we are getting bet-ter each and every day, and that’s what we have to do,” said Zipp. “It’s de� nitely a transition, but it is good to get to work with new guys and learn how they play.”

One player that has really stood out to Cameron has been senior guard Alex Michael.

“Alex Michael has been busting his tail here for four years and now it is his senior year and he has been doing real well,” said Zipp.

Another new player is Jason Weaver. Weaver is a highly touted junior college (JUCO) prospect that is likely to be handling most of the load at tackle. Weaver said he

is looking forward to the upcom-ing season.

“Fall Camp has been really good,” said Weaver. “I feel like I have been progressing every day, and that is all that I can do.”

Most of his fall camp has been spent making the transition from the JUCO ranks to the speed that he will see at the Division 1 level.

“I went against some really good competition in JUCO too, but the speed of the game is the main thing that has changed for me,” Weaver said.

Coach Fedora said he is happy with the talent he has in this unit, but he is still concerned about the lack of experience going into the � rst game.

“� ere is a lot of inexperience, and that is going to be a concern for me until we kick it o� ,” Fedora said. “� ere is no way that I can go to bed and feel good about it until we get into the � ow of the game and see what happens.”
