(More Than) 5 Tips for Writing Art Announcement Post Card
"IF THEY WANT POSTCARDS, I MAKE POSTCARDS"
For the Silent. Silence. Silenced. show at Atlantic Works Gallery, Charlene Liska and I worked together to come up with an attractive and informative post card that would serve multiple purposes:
A Hand-out to give friends and family.
An immediate mailer/invitation. There's no envelope to open.
A good-looking 'small flyer' for us, fellow artist friends, and student volunteers to leave at coffee shops and to pin on announcement boards at museums, cultural organizations, and student centers, etc.
A calling card for when we visit galleries this month.
A possible bookmark and legacy stash.
Front of Charlene Liska's postcard for Silent. Silence. Silenced.
Decisions to make before designing an Art Exhibit Post Card.
What's on the Front? Usually an image. Could be words.
What Goes on the Back? Who-What-When-Where ( more later).
Size. To qualify for First-Class Mail postcard rate the card has to be rectangular, at least 3-1/2 inches high x 5 inches long x 0.007 inch thick and be no more than 4-1/4 inches high x 6 inches long x 0.016 inches thick.
Print Run. How many to print?
Budget. How much money you have to spend on this aspect of promotion//marketing?
As far as print run: we decided to print 500 postcards and print two different front images. We shared identical print information on the back of the post card and varied the image on the front 250/250.
Front of Christine Palamidessi post card for Silent. Silence. Silenced.
Finally, here are the five main points to keep in mind when putting your post card all together:
Plan ahead. Have the postcards ready 1-2 months before your show opens. This means not only do you need to design the card, but communicate with your printer to find out his/her lead time. So work backwards from your desired date of having the post-card in hand and then line up all the things you need to do to make it happen.
Who. What. When and Where. Yes, you've heard this before and you'll hear it again. Who (your name) What (name of show and definition of show–is it a pop-up, a month-longshow, a one nighter?) When (the run date of the show as well as the date of the Opening Night and any other special events during the run of the show) Where (name of the gallery, or venue, and the address. Include zip code and phone number of the gallery and the gallery/venue website. You may consider putting your own phone number on the card, as Charlene and I did, but realize your phone number may end up on someone's solicitation list.
Establish Credibility. Be sure to proofread everything. Use high resolution photos/jpg. A sloppy looking card communicates 'a don't care/don't know/I make mistakes attitude' — which you probably don't want to do unless that's the theme of your exhibit, which has its own set of decisions and contradictions not addressed here.
Keep It Clean and Easy. Fewer words are better than a lot of words. People appreciate quick-to-eye grab information. (look at image below–left side of the back of postcard) to see how we varied caps and lower case, as well as grey and black inks.)
Ask Friends and Art Community to Help Spread the Word & Distribute Your Post Cards (drop off, mail, post in their place of work) .

Nothing Yellow about Walter Kopec's …AND THINGS THAT REMAIN
Conceptual Artist Walter Kopec and his 'hangman' word play drawing. At Atlantic Works Gallery, 2017.
Blue. Red. Black and White.
Not a hint of cowardly yellow bridges the Right with the Left; no grey softens the Yes and No, the Pro with the Con. There are no dips into non-objectivity. The work Walter Kopec is showing at Atlantic Work Gallery is elegant visual symbolism embedded with the tension of theoretical opposites set off against one another.
Kopec's crisp, spare images–a pencil drawing, black tape on the wall, nail-pierced shoes, a grid of suspended red and blue ribbons–deliver complex messages; their controlled surfaces counter the irrational and compulsive inner workings of our American politics, culture and society.
The work relies on symbol and the openness of symbol interpretation. There are multiple references to the American flag. An impressive, mobile-like soft-sculpture, built from red and blue ribbons and fragments of picture frames, takes stage center. "Is the flag assembling, or disassembling?" Kopec asks. Nearby is a wall-sculpture, echoing the shape and material of the mobile sculpture but not its colors. It is a flag made of black and white stripes, which Kopec titles We Hold These Truths to Be Self-Evident "And the next part is, …that all men are created equal." Kopec says, quoting the words of the U.S. Constitution. "And, it's not just black-white racism that this work references," he adds. "It's also the black and white print medium– fact vs. fiction. Truth vs. fake news."
"The Last Dog Eats Alone" ( in a dog-eats-dog world) Pencil drawing with inks. Walter Kopec, 2017.
Kopec's process is contemplative and never-ending. "I might go to my studio and read the dictionary. I might do word games, puzzles. I sit, think and write down ideas. I ask myself what's happening in the world. What's the drumbeat right now? "
For 15 years Kopec's been chronicling his ideas, words, stories. "I have boxes and boxes filled with sketches, notes, clippings, even fabric. What is this for? What can this mean? Can I use this? How? Explain it? How? For me, there's really no start-stop in the conceptual process. My mind is always active. I even wake up at night and write notes."
"My current conundrum," Kopec says, "is that I grew up in the 60s and 70s. Experienced stuff that happened in the civil rights movement; during the Viet Nam War. The unfairness of it all." Today he sees similar opposing forces fighting it out, except that now it is his generation that's the cause of it. "The people I grew up with are responsible. What prompted this to start?" he wonders.
Two of the pieces in the show have Trump-related themes, though Kopec makes it clear he has not made
Walter Kopec in gallery installing the red stripes for …THINGS THAT REMAIN
Trump art or anti-Trump art, and that has no desire to put any of his brain power into Trump. "The art is about what is happening in society: special interests, politics for self-serving personnel gain. Trump just happened to bring it all to the forefront and pushed the ugliness in our faces."
In the binary opposition of his show …AND THINGS THAT REMAIN, Kopec points a finger at the system we live in that considers everything either "right or wrong" , "winner or loser" ; "Democratic or Republican" ; "You're either with us, or you're with the terrorists." Using cultural symbols and coded words he connects with emotions illustrating the continuing interrelated conflicts that he felt earlier in his career. "I certainly don't have answers nor do I pretend to have answers to what's happening," Kopec affirms. "America is happiness. This is where people come to pursue happiness." He points to a drawing on the wall of a stick figure running after a small American flag, which he titles Pursuit of Happiness. " I'm not making judgement on any of this stuff. I hope the pieces appeal to a universal sense of things."
Walter Kopec's…AND THINGS THAT REMAIN runs in conjunction with Melissa Shook's LANDSCAPE OF MEMORY. April 1-26, 2017. At Atlantic Works Gallery, 80 Border Street, East Boston.
"Political language, as used by politicians, does not venture into any of this territory [of the artist] since the majority of politicians, on the evidence available to us, are interested not in truth but in power and in the maintenance of that power. To maintain that power it is essential that people remain in ignorance, that they live in ignorance of the truth, even the truth of their own lives. What surrounds us therefore is a vast tapestry of lies, upon which we feed." —Harold Pinter, upon his receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature, 2005

Samantha Marder's BENT: Girls Just Want to Have Fun
Samantha Marder in dressing room. BENT 2016
Meret Oppenheim is supposed to have described her famous Objet (Le Déjeuner en Fourrure-1936 ), the fur-covered cup, saucer and spoon, as "the image of femininity imprinted in the minds of men and projected on to women."
Samantha Marder's BENT installation at Boston's Atlantic Works Gallery (December 3-30, 2016), begs similar questions as the cup: the social reality construct of femininity meets the reality of both being female, and/or dressing up like one. While the act itself–when we consider cross dressing to be an artistic act that makes its way to a gallery–questions who exactly is the man dressing up for? Perhaps the best answer is: himself, the person who in the moment is both male and female, the male projecting his dream on himself as a woman.
In turn, the witnessing of the documentation of man dressing up for himself and the accruements he uses to do it makes us, the viewer, a bit uncomfortable in the same way the idea of drinking tea from Oppenheim's cup does. It's a visceral "wait a minute!" reaction that is accompanied by a politically correct liberal voice that says, "It's all right."
But we all are programmed to react: real men don't spend hours looking into mirrors; real women don't really dress up like the man who is play acting a slut, a bride, a maid wearing crotchless underwear, or a mean horny nurse.
In our polarized culture, men are not to be treated as mere body, and women must consider themselves primarily body. The portrayed body becomes the feminized body, regardless of its sex.
Marder shows, in her installation, that femininity has image; masculinity has no image.
The two rooms in the gallery are set up like this: One room is Reality. The second room is Dreamland.The middle divider is a dark curtain, like the subconscious, that the gallery goer and the cross dresser passes through when entering the rabbit hole.
Reality room. BENT, 2016.
The reality room showcases a row of snapshots of men wearing wigs, women's clothing and make-up.They look like they're all having a blast: laughing, showing cleavage, revealing the thigh line of black stockings.
In the same room, on the opposite wall, is Marder's journal, a sociological observation of
degrees of sexual, sexy and social behaviors; a list of the fantasies men prefer to act out after they've dressed up as women (job interviews, caught in the act of sexual betrayal, automat slut).
Once you pass through the black curtain, to the dreamland side of her installation, Marder shows you the nuts and bolts of the business of cross dressing all bathed in soft pink lights. There's a lounge area to relax, listen to music, a basket of soft buttered buns. In one corner is a softly lighted bridal gown ( "Hindu men's favorite fantasy," she pointed out.) In front of the leather sofa and floor cushions is a glass topped coffee table filled with an assemblage of breast protheses.
To the far right in the dreamland area, is a small closet of a room lined floor-to ceiling with mirrors. It has a shag rug and a chandelier composed of pink fluffy petticoats. In this room gallery goers can try on one of a handful of wigs and/or high heels, test dozens of tubes of lipstick, touch feathers. Girl heaven.
Samantha Marder with Bridal Gown. BENT, 2016
Marder, who in addition to being an artist-exhibitor at Atlantic Works Gallery, has worked as a cross dresser facilitator for the past 20 years. She has a degree in cultural anthropology and previously worked as a social worker.
Her show BENT is an intellectually eroticized exhibit that agrees reality is a construct; that plays with philosophical ideas about reality and gender; that acknowledges real men can't dress up as women and hang out at their country club or attend their business's board meetings.
"Usually men who want the experience of dressing up as a woman have to go to a dominatrix or prostitute. I am neither." She finds clients through ads in magazines, such as Boston Magazine.
Marder has a collection of over 200 miniskirts in her studio and perhaps twice as many panties. "Certain men reduce anxiety and stress by cross dressing, " Marder said. "I am their fairy godmother, their facilitator, their guide."
BENT is Marder's second gender exploring installation at Atlantic Works Gallery.
BTW: in the 30s Meret Oppenheim sold her fur lined cup to the MoMA in New York for $50. Since this was the first work by a woman the museum acquired, Oppenheim is playfully called the First Lady of MoMA.
Object (or Luncheon in Fur), by Meret Oppenheim. In 1936, Oppenheim wrapped a teacup, saucer and spoon in fur. In the age of Freud, a gastro-sexual interpretation was inescapable. Even today, the work triggers intense reactions.

Choose-What-You-Pay
Dear New York,
I am honored to invite you to Lincoln Center Presents, a vision for year-round programming at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts that prioritizes an expansive view of artistic excellence and complements existing programs across the Lincoln Center campus and the civic life of the city at large. We are dedicated to making the arts available to the widest possible audience and the majority of programs are either FREE or Choose-What-You-Pay.
With the opening of the new David Geffen Hall this past October, we are reimagining the possibilities of a concert hall and what it means to be a public venue, for all New Yorkers. This season, you will see many collaborations and partnerships that create exciting collisions that go beyond genre and celebrate and reflect the intersectionalities and the vibrancy of the city itself. We are also championing new art forms that have traditionally not had much presence on our campus, changing perceptions of what, and more importantly, who, belongs in a concert hall.
As a lover of a variety of different art forms and a believer in the power of the arts, I knew I wanted to fill our campus with an incredible array of art that is in continual conversation with the moment and responsive to the needs of the community. Working closely with a multitude of artistic curators—including our two artists-in-residence, poet Mahogany L. Browne, and designer Mimi Lien—we are putting together events that are filled with a range of interdisciplinary works from diverse voices, that break down traditional silos and deepen artistic and civic connections.
Just as we encourage our artists to make themselves at home and become an intrinsic part of our community, we encourage the same of you, our audiences. Please join us as we break new ground and bring our constituents and partners across the city together in new ways. We look forward to welcoming you indoors, safely, and with your whole selves, to experience the power of the live performing arts.

Horticulture, as viable Plan B for marginal farmers
INDIA-Barring vine crops, every vegetable has seen a good increase in area but potato, cauliflower, peas and root crops have seen maximum increase by 10,206 hectares, 6,300 hectares, 8,300 hectares and 4,600 hectares, respectively.
THE PUNJAB horticulture department has not only played a big role in diversification, but is also poised as a profitable alternative for landless and marginal farmers having less than one-acre land. Even small, medium and big farmers under huge debt can adopt new horticulture techniques available at the recently-opened three Centres of Excellence — for vegetables at Kartarpur), for potatoes at Dhogri village in Jalandhar and for citrus fruits at Khanaura village in Hoshiarpur. These centres are not only providing farmers high quality seeds, hybrid plants at reasonable prices, but also free training in their respective fields.
Marked increase in area under horticulture
The area diverted to horticulture in the last decade was 1.26 lakh hectares (3.11 lakh acres), which consumed 40 per cent less water as compared to wheat-paddy rotation. Data sourced from the Punjab Horticulture Department revealed that the area under horticulture crops has gone up from 2.55 lakh hectares (6.30 lakh acres) in 2008-09 to 3.81 lakh hectares (9. 41 lakh acres) in 2018-19, which is an increase of 55.51 per cent in a decade.
In the past five years, there has been a marked increase in area under horticulture after the Centres of Excellence came into existence. Out of total 3.81 lakh horticulture hectares, 2.73 lakh hectares are under vegetables, 86,774 under fruits, 19,000 under spices and aromatic crops and remaining under flowers etc. Punjab is producing 73.28 lakh metric tonnes (LMT) of horticulture produce including 54.42 LMT vegetables, 18.50 LMT fruits, 12,700 tonnes spices and aeromatic crops, 13,000 tonnes flowers and 9,400 tonnes mushrooms.
While the production of such crops has gone up from 38.83 Lakh Metric Tonnes (LMT) to 73.34 LMT in a decade with an increase of 88.87 per cent, the productivity has increased from 15.85 tonnes per hectare to 19.25 tonnes per hectare in the same decade with an increase of 21.45 per cent.
Also, horticulture share in the state's GDP to agricultural produce has increased from 6.92 per cent to 12.43 per cent.
In the past 4-5 years, ever since these 'Centres of Excellence' were set up in Punjab, the area has gone up by over 80,000 hectares (1.98 lakh acres), which included 11,000 hectares in 2014-15, 16,000 hectares in 2015, while in last three years (2016-17) to 2018-19, the area has increased by 51,494 hectares (1.27 lakh acres) which included 7,688 hectares (18,989 acres) under fruits and 43,806 hectares (1.08 lakh acres) under vegetables.
What is grown
In Punjab, the main fruits are kinnow, sweet orange, lime, lemon, mango, litchi, guava, pear, peach, plum, grapes, ber, amla, banana etc. While main vegetables included potato, onion, garlic, tomato, brinjal, cauliflower, cabbage, okra, chilli, peas, muskmelon, watermelon, vine crops, root crops etc.
Barring vine crops, every vegetable has seen a good increase in area but potato, cauliflower, peas and root crops have seen maximum increase by 10,206 hectares, 6,300 hectares, 8,300 hectares and 4,600 hectares, respectively. Similarly, almost every fruit has seen increase in acreage but the maximum increase was seen under citrus fruits at 4,600 hectares.
Dr Daljit Singh, project officer (Punjab Horticulture Department) of the Indo-Israel Centre of Excellence for Vegetables at Kartarpur, said poly house and walk-in tunnel farming are being promoted to grow vegetables as the crops grown in poly houses are excellent both quality and quantity wise. "We have trained around 3,000 farmers and majority of them are adopting this technique where poly houses are made with the help of government subsidies and cultivation of vegetables is done on raised beds, with drip irrigation and in a vertical manner.
"With poly house technique, farmers are earning much more from one kannal, which is 1/8th of an acre, as compared to what they were earning from one acre by sowing wheat and paddy in a year," said Dr Singh, adding that till date they have prepared and sold over 1 crore (10 million) plants of various vegetables including capsicums of three colours, seedless brinjal, seedless cucumber, cherry tomato, tomato, zucchini and several other vegetables to farmers who are growing these in open fields as well as poly houses.
Farmer Sandeep Sharma of Batura village in Jalandhar said he had undergone training in poly house farming at the Kartarpur centre and then started sowing vegetables in a poly house in 2014. "I started with a single poly house of one kannal and now I have six units including two one kannal each, three units of four kannals each and one unit of two kannals."
He further said, "If a farmer owns even one or half acre of land he can spare one kannal for poly house farming and remaining he can use for traditional farming. From one kannal, a farmer can easily earn Rs 1.50 to 2.0 lakh annually from sowing even single cucumber crop twice in a year after meeting all input costs while from wheat paddy one can earn maximum one lakh in a year and that too from one acre which is 8 times the land against one kannal."
Vegetables are the short duration crops that are yielding huge profits, he added.
Sandeep, however, said that instead of 50 per cent subsidy on poly houses, the government should give 75 to 80 per cent on the lines of other states as it will encourage several small and marginal farmers having even few kannals of land. The cost of one kannal poly house is Rs 3 lakh, out of which 50 per cent cost is borne by the government. Farmers can recover the cost of the poly house in first two years only.
Another farmer, Lehmber Singh, had the same story to share. He is earning huge profits from his two poly houses of four kannals each by cultivating cucumber and capsicum in Bahrain village of Kapurthala district.
The main challenge faced by farmers adopting poly house crops included lack of insurance of protected (poly/ net house) farming as sometimes strong winds damage poly houses, less subsidy and middlemen for selling crop eating the major profits, as well as lack of awareness.
Project officer of the Citrus Centre of Excellence, Dr Balwinder Singh (Punjab Horticulture Department) said that in the past three years, around 4,000 hectares has been increased under citrus cultivation mainly kinnow fruit in Punjab as several varieties of citrus are being prepared at this centre.
"Under potato cultivation too the area has increased by over 7,000 hectares in the past few years ever since we have been growing better potato seeds in the centre by adopting aeroponic technique," said state nodal officer for potato crop Dr Paramjit Singh of the horticulture department.
Director, Horticulture Punjab, Shailender Kuar, said that horticulture has a huge potential in Punjab and the area is being increased with every passing year which means that land is being diverted from traditional crops to such new horticulture crops which can be further increased to a large scale. "New poly house technique will not only bailout farmers from the debt but also provide big opportunities to earn good returns from a very small area," she said, adding that due to small landholdings, the time has now come to get more yield from a small area.
Sources in the horticulture department said that the government needs to support farmers by opening processing plants to increase area under horti crops and provide a huge market to their horticulture products.

Noah is on American soil once again.
What a source of comfort to know my son once again breathes the sweet air of liberty and rests in a place where his freedoms are protected!
Yesterday Emmie and I walked around the neighborhood putting small yellow ribbons on all the lampposts. They are so small that I thought they might not be noticed, but before were were even through, calls started coming in asking if Noah was home.
In another six hours or so, Noah will really be home. The cheesecake is in the fridge and his Christmas stocking is full and hanging on the mantle. The minutes can't tick away fast enough!
How sweet to have all the children home and safe (Marie is on the way home, too!) It is something that makes a mother's heart sing.
Thanks to our Lord for His abundant faithfulness in all we ask.
It is March now and we are down to mere days. The plane ticket has been purchased and we just wait.
We want to see Noah, to look into those blue-green eyes and see for ourselves that he is well. We wait to hold Noah and feel for ourselves that he is whole and strong. We wait to listen to Noah and to hear for ourselves that the experience of war has not embittered his spirit, that he can still laugh. We wait to have him home in the safety of this house where the only dangers are that he will sleep past the alarm or use up all the hot water in the shower. But Noah's safety, his "wholeness" has never been a matter of place, location or shelter. It has always been "of the Lord".
How many hundreds, thousands of prayers have been lifted up to our Father specifically for Noah while he has been deployed? The Scriptures tell us that the prayers of the saints are the incense around the throne of God. What a sweet smell must encircle His throne on behalf of our son. And all those prayers gloriously answered! I feel so indebted to so many. . .so many faithful ones who say "I've been praying for Noah." So many more who never say they are praying for him, but do. I will spend part of eternity thanking these kind souls because as yet I do not know all of to whom I am indebted.
In eternity, will I also know how many times an angel of the Lord stayed a bullet? Redirected a rocket? Caused an enemy misfire? Generated confusion in the enemy? I have to believe this happened over and over again and over and over again I thank our Lord for His marvelous supply -- His gracious answer to prayer and His merciful protection. He is worthy to be praised.
My greatest fear during Noah's deployment was not for his safety. In the midst of the worst news reports, the Lord has given me such peace and a sense of assurance that my son was safe. So many people have told me that they pray daily for Noah. The magnitude of the answers of those prayers has just begun to dawn on me.
Noah once told us that they were continually shot at and even during his phone calls home, enemy fire was sometimes audible. How amazingly faithful is our God, that my son should return home alive and well. How can I ever thank all those who have at any point uttered a prayer upward on behalf of my son?
Noah is due to be back on American soil this time next week (Praise the Lord) and should be home within a couple weeks after that. I do not have the vocabulary to express what I feel in the way of thankfulness to you for your prayers. Please let a mother's feeble words and flowing tears, (which are there even if you cannot see them) express the heart that cannot be captured in language.
Your prayers for Noah are the greatest gift you could have ever given me. Thank you and thank you and thank you.
Every morning before I go to work, I can depend upon my sweet beagle Sparrow, to be waiting at my feet for me to go to the dining room.
You see, Sparrow has already been to the kitchen and knows by virtue of that amazing nose the Lord has given her, that there is an egg boiling on the stove top. She has also learned about how long it takes for the egg to cook. When she thinks it has been long enough, or that I have taken long enough in my preparations, she will come to my bedroom, sit at my feet and stare.
She doesn't bark. She doesn't whine. She doesn't whimper. She just watches. If I move to the bathroom, she moves with me. By only her gentle appearance and presence, she is letting me know that it is time to get a move on and head to that egg.
Watching Sparrow the other day as she watched me, I thought of how the Lord moves in our lives. We often expect to see the dramatic, the sensational, the spectacular.
The Lord was in the still small voice. The meek and gentle. The quiet and small. Yes, for Elijah He used a wind and earthquake and a fire to wake him up out of his self-absorption and depression. Then the Lord gave Elijah the truth of the matter, he wasn't the only believer left in the world, "Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath not kissed him." I Kings 19:18. The Lord had seven-thousand more believers out there unknown to Elijah.
The point of the matter is that the Lord is in the business of revealing His truth to us, but if we are not in the business of receiving that truth we will not hear His still small voice. If we become self-absorbed, or too centered on the things happening around us, or the faults in others, we will never hear that tiny quiet sound in our spirit. Then it may be, like with Elijah, the Lord may need to use the wind and the earthquake and the fire to get our attention so we are ready to listen to the still small voice.
When we finally reach heaven, all the things we have pondered long and hard, and seem so important here, will probably in reality be so insignificant there.
In all likelihood, it will be like preparing for a wedding. A bride obsesses over so many tiny details that when the day finally approaches, they don't seem to matter so much. After all, does it really matter if the napkins at the reception match the bridemaids dresses perfectly? All the little details seem to fall aside in the joy and happiness of what really is going on that day.
I think when we finally arrive in Heaven, and we first catch a glimpse of that Face that we love more than any other, all the questions and quandaries that have seemed so important here will melt away. The will be gone in a wisp, nothing but a vapor. All that will matter will be our hand in that nail-scarred Hand.
I was listening to a couple of people talk the other day about ministries and missionaries. One asked the other about "seeing fruit" in the lives of the people.
It was the Lord responsible for increase, His were the fruit.
But it is hard to judge another person's heart, isn't it? It is sort of like trying to decide what is a fruit and what is a vegetable. For years, I just assumed a tomato was a vegetable. After all, it goes in vegetable soup, doesn't it? But since it has seeds inside of itself, in botanical terms, it is a fruit. Okra, which I would have never thought of as a fruit, is a fruit. I understand that Rhubarb, which is considered by some (but never considered by me in any form) to be a fruit, is actually a vegetable. So even in the food we eat, we find it hard to tell what is what.
Well, Christmas came and went.
We began our morning in prayer for Noah. We had packages to open from Noah, with Marie's help. At dinner we looked at pictures of Noah that I had placed on the table. I think he was more a part of our day than if he had been here with us!
After Christmas I was so disappointed in myself for only taking a minute or two of video - knowing full well that he wanted to see some of our Christmas morning. But somehow the camera got lost in all the trappings of the celebration of Christmas. Little did I know that the camera actually was still running!
When I looked at the video weeks later, I was shocked that even though we only had three or four good minutes of video, we had over twenty minutes of audio of us (along with twenty minutes of video of the side of the blue living room chair).
Emily and I had a good time adding amusing sub-titles to the video. We were full of anticipation for how Noah would respond to our jokes. As for us, the video was so much more about Noah than if we had done it the other way.
Then after Christmas we began to really anticipate Noah's return. To our great pleasure the date was much earlier than we had originally thought. All of a sudden what had seemed so far away, was actually so close.
I began to be overwhelmed with what I had not done. His Christmas presents were not yet wrapped, his quilt was not - and would not soon be - finished. His room was basically a storage unit, it was not ready to be a bedroom again.
Then, beside all the practical things I knew had to be tackled in such a short time, I began to think of all the emotional things. Would we be for Noah what he will need us to be? Will we make his homecoming what he wants it to be? Will we know when to be silent, when to speak, when to laugh, when to cry? Will it be more awkward than I have imagined, or will it be easier? Will things go smoothly between Noah & Aimee?
As I feel apprehension regarding Noah's homecoming, I realize it is because I have absolutely nothing in my past upon which to base this experience. His return from boot camp seems such a pale comparison. The Noah who came home from Parris Island was in so many ways different from the Noah who left.
Maybe that is what I dread.
I fear Noah may have crawled even deeper into a shell from which he can't be extracted. It is a hard thing for a mother to lose her little boy to the man he must inevitably become. It is harder still to lose him to such a strong knit band of brothers as the Marine Corps. I wonder what it is like to lose him to the smoky memories of war? Can the little boy smile ever escape past the memories of killing and death?
As anxious as I am to wrap these mother's ars around my son, I am curious as to the Noah that I will meet that day.
"Peace is not the absence of problems, peace is having adequate resources in one's problems."
This statement I heard by a teacher today made me think of what we truly want when we say we want "Peace". Often, we are more yearning, like David, "Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest." Psalms 55:6. We want to be carried away out of our problems, not strengthened to walk through them.
A life without trouble is not what we have been promised as Christians, and although it sometimes seems sweet to fantasize about what that life would be like, it is a dangerous thing for us to spend much time there. We are called to walk this life, with all it's thorns and snares, and to learn "in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. "
Not only are we called to accept those difficulties, those things we see as trials and troubles in our lives, but the Apostle Paul went so far as to say he "gloried" in them.
So when the trouble comes, the trial arises, the thorn begins to rip and tear at our flesh, we can "in every thing give thanks", knowing that "this is the will of God in Christ Jesus" concerning us.
We can thank Him for the very trial, for the situation that will show His strength in our weakness. He is the adequate resources we need for any situation. He is the abundant supply for all our needs. He is that which strengthens and sustains us. We know, too, that we can "do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Just as there is no limit to His supply "according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus", there is no limit to what He can and will do in and through His children who choose to thank Him in the difficulties and trust Him as the provision for problem, the supply for every situation, the answer for every absence.
et L'ayant nous a tout.
and having Him, we have all.
Yesterday I talked about how the Lord had worked in my life over and over again to direct my path. I thought today I would share with you one of my favorite hymns that follows those thoughts. It is written by George Young.
When we went to Washington, D.C. several years ago, we spent one day walking around the Tidal Basin visiting the various monuments. As we continued, my feet became hot and tired. We neared the FDR monument and I dreaded visiting what I anticipated to be a boring monument of a President about whom I knew little.
I was amazed to see that FDR's monument was actually a series of four monuments each composed of waterfalls and pools of flowing water.
We took the opportunity to slip off our shoes and cool our feet in the flowing water. We found ourselves refreshed and renewed. It is a slight shadow of the refreshing and renewal offered to us by our Lord in any of the parched and wearied situations which greet us during our days.
It was a desperate cry from one of the elderly women in the church services we do at a local nursing home. She was referring to the order of service for the day which also has the words to the hymns on it. She had not yet received one and we were ready to sing. What profound truth issued so adamantly from Mrs. Morris. We all are in need of a plan.
Currently, I am in the process of making vacation plans for us later this spring. There are so many plans that must be made prior to a 23 hour car ride to a city one has never been to before. . .hotel reservations, rental car reservations, ideas of where to eat, tickets to different venues, and driving directions. The details seem to go on and on.
The Lord has a way of directing and leading His children. As I look backward at the path my life has taken, I can see so many times that the Lord has nudged me, led me, and sometimes, yes, even pushed me into the path He wanted me to go. Often at the time it didn't seem like the working of the Lord. Sometimes it felt like the whole world was against me, but now I can see clearly His hand moving to put me exactly where He knew I needed to be, but I was too stubborn or too blind to see.
The greatest example of this was when I "decided" to go to nursing school.
Never in my life had I wanted to be a nurse. I had planned to go to college away from home, first to pursue Journalism. A well-meaning family member discouraged me from this so I decided to become a teacher. About a month before I was to move away, again I changed my mind and decided to stay home instead.
Now in my hometown were three colleges with perfectly good programs for studying Education. However, instead of enrolling in one of them, I just pronounced, "I guess I'll go to nursing school." Where did THAT come from? I believe with all my heart that it came from the Lord.
So here I was, in the middle of the summer, having to find a Chemistry class so I could get into the nursing program. It wasn't offered in Summer School --there were no Chemistry teachers available that summer. It wasn't offered at Night School -- there weren't enough students interested to offer the class. Which meant I had to take a college Chemistry course. The professor handed out a pre-test the first day of class that was mainly algebra problems. I didn't even understand the questions, much less have an idea of how to get to the answers! Only the Lord managed to get me through that class!
That first year of college, taking most of my college classes before entering the nursing program and my clinical studies, was truly a design from the Lord. Little was I to know that by my second year of college I would have met the man I was to end up marrying. I was so wildly in love that I could never have been able to keep my mind on all those classes AND nursing classes as well as the love of my life.
Time and time again, I can look back at my life and see the Lord working. Sometimes the path has gone through the dark of the forest, but still it was His path and His hand that led me. Sometimes the path led through the bright sunshine of day with the clear blue sky. Again, His path and His hand.
Throughout it all I have learned that whether I understand the turn in the path or not, I can completely trust the Architect of the Road. As the Scriptures tell us, "His way is perfect." So as one company encourages us to do, I will "leave the driving" to Him.

Ein Wire catcher (auch bekannt als Wire Cutter und Wire Anti-Decapitation Device) ist ein Drahtfänger mit Schneideschlitzen, der als Vorrichtung an militärisch genutzten Fahrzeugen zum Schutz vor über die Fahrbahn gespannten Drahthindernissen angebracht ist.

Der Begriff stammt von dem bekannten Einsatz dieser Hilfs-Konstruktion an amerikanischen Jeeps im Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Geschichte
Bereits im Ersten Weltkrieg wurden Radfahrzeuge mit einer solchen Vorrichtung versehen. An einem Killen-Strait Traktor montiert, demonstrierten die Briten 1915 die Funktion des Drahtschneiders. Schon die britische Marine setzte scherenartige Schneidevorrichtungen für Torpedonetze ein. Eine solche wurde vorne am Traktor am Ende zweier nach vorne ragender Metallstangen angebracht. Der Traktor wurde auf ein Feld mit gespannten Drähten gefahren. Die Schneidevorrichtung funktionierte bei genauer Höhe, scheiterte jedoch, sobald Drähte auf anderen Höhen gespannt waren und wurde deshalb nicht eingeführt. Die Entwicklung der alliierten schweren Panzer des Ersten Weltkrieges, die Drahtsperren einfach durch ihre Konstruktion bedingt niederwalzten, sorgte dafür, dass das Thema nicht weiter verfolgt wurde.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg gehörten Drahtsperren früh zur Taktik der deutschen Abwehr, so führte die Panzerabwehr teilweise Stahldrahtrollen auf ihren Fahrzeugen mit, um an bestimmten Stellen den Vorstoß des Gegners aufzuhalten und um Zeit für das Bekämpfen des Gegner zu erhalten. Später spannte die deutsche Abwehr Drähte über Straßen, um schnelle gegnerische Aufklärungstrupps in offenen Fahrzeugen und Kradmelder zu stoppen und zu verletzen. Improvisierte Wire catchers wurden auch auf Jeeps montiert.

Auch während des Vietnamkrieges fanden Wire catcher Verwendung.

Da es sich um eine technisch anspruchslose Abwehrmaßnahme handelt, eignen sich Drahtsperren auch heute noch hervorragend für die Guerilla-Kriegsführung. Insofern setzen auch heute reguläre Streitkräfte, die sich schnell und motorisiert bewegen, entsprechende Vorrichtungen ein, wenn sie solche Hindernissen zu bewältigen haben.

Entwurf
Ein Wire catcher besteht aus einem Eisenwinkel, der vertikal an die horizontale Stoßstange eines Geländefahrzeugs, zum Beispiel eines Jeep, angebracht ist. Er reicht über die Kopfhöhe derjenigen, die im Fahrzeug fahren hinaus, und ist ein Stück unterhalb des oberen Endes derart eingekerbt, dass ein über die Straße gespannter Draht gefangen und zerschnitten wird.

The University of Southern Mississippi (Southern Miss or USM) is a public research university with its main campus located in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor's, master's, specialist, and doctoral degrees. The university is classified among "R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity".

Founded on March 30, 1910, the university is a dual campus institution, with its main campus located in Hattiesburg and its other large campus – Gulf Park – located in Long Beach. It has five additional teaching and research sites, including the John C. Stennis Space Center and the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (GCRL).

Originally called the Mississippi Southerners, the Southern Miss athletic teams became the Golden Eagles in 1972. The school's colors, black and gold, were selected by a student body vote shortly after the school was founded. While mascots, names, customs, and the campus have changed, the black and gold colors have remained constant. USM's 17 sport programs participate in NCAA Division I athletics, mainly as members of the Sun Belt Conference.

History

The University of Southern Mississippi was founded on March 30, 1910, as Mississippi Normal College, a teacher-training school. The Normal College was created to standardize the process of training upcoming teachers. Before the existence of a specialized teaching college, instructors were required to travel throughout Mississippi in preparation for teaching their students. R. H. Hunt designed the original campus plan and seven buildings in the Colonial Revival style. The college's first president, Joseph Anderson Cook, presided over the opening session of instruction on September 18, 1912, and oversaw the construction of College Hall (the academic building); Forrest County Hall (men's and married students' dormitory); Hattiesburg Hall (women's dormitory); the Industrial Cottage (training laboratory for home management); and the president's home (now the Ogletree Alumni House). In its first session, Mississippi Normal College had a total enrollment of 876 students, and stood for "clean, pure, efficient lives."

As the school developed its curriculum and departments, its name changed to reflect its progress: in 1924, to Mississippi State Teachers College, and in 1940, to Mississippi Southern College.

The college's fifth president, State Archivist Dr. William David McCain, was installed in 1955 and worked to expand Mississippi Southern College. He oversaw the construction of 17 new structures on campus and convinced Gov. Ross Barnett to upgrade the school to university status in recognition of its graduate programs. On February 27, 1962, Barnett signed the bill into law which officially renamed the school as the University of Southern Mississippi.

Desegregation and civil rights
In 1954 the United States Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that segregation of public schools was unconstitutional. But when Clyde Kennard, a black Korean War veteran, attempted to enroll at Mississippi Southern College in the late 1950s, McCain made major efforts with the state political establishment and local black leaders to prevent it. Kennard was turned down three times. After he wrote letters about educational integration to the local paper, he was twice arrested on trumped-up criminal charges; he was eventually convicted and sentenced to seven years in the state prison.

McCain's direct involvement in this abuse of the justice system is unclear. He was likely aware that the charges against Kennard were fraudulent, but neither he nor other public officials made any objection. Speaking to businessmen in Chicago on a trip sponsored by the Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission, McCain said: "We insist that educationally and socially, we maintain a segregated society. ... In all fairness, I admit that we are not encouraging Negro voting," he said. "The Negroes prefer that control of the government remain in the white man's hands." Kennard was finally released on parole in 1963, when he was terminally ill with cancer; he died six months later.

By the early 1960s, national pressure was growing to integrate Mississippi's institutions of higher learning. McCain was well known to vehemently oppose having any black students at Mississippi Southern. In 1962 James Meredith attempted to enroll at the University of Mississippi, the state's flagship institution. His enrollment was accomplished after white rioting and use of federal troops to end the violence.

By the fall of 1965 both Ole Miss and Mississippi State University had been integrated – the former violently, the latter peacefully. McCain, USM and state leaders recognized the state needed to integrate to appeal to businesses from outside the state. They made extensive confidential plans for the admission of their first black students. A faculty guardian and tutor was secretly appointed for each to help with the transition. The campus police department was instructed to prevent or quickly stop any incident against the two black students. Student athletic, fraternity, and political leaders were recruited to keep the calm and protect the university from the kind of negative publicity that Ole Miss had suffered during rioting against Meredith's enrollment.

As a result, black students Gwendolyn Elaine Armstrong and Raylawni Branch were enrolled without incident in September 1965. In 2018, USM unveiled a Freedom Trail Marker in honor of Clyde Kennard, in front of Kennard Washington Hall, named after him and the first African-American doctoral student to graduate from USM, Walter Washington. Shortly thereafter, at the spring commencement ceremonies in May 2018, Clyde Kennard was posthumously awarded the Doctor of Humane Letters honoris causa from USM. A student in Kennard's Sunday School class at Mary Magdalene Baptist Church in Eatonville, Mississippi, accepted the honor on his behalf.

Between 1955 and 1965, USM along with its president, William D. McCain, infringed upon the civil rights of Gay and Lesbian students. Gay and Lesbian students, with an emphasis on male homosexuals, were targeted and expelled. McCain's intentions were to purge the campus of all sexual impurities.

In 1969, the Afro-American Cultural Society (AACS) was founded. Alvin Williams, an early member of the organization and professor emeritus of media at the university, described AACS as an "instrumental part of student life for black students" attending the university in the late 1960s. The organization was later renamed as the African American Student Organization (AASO) in the 1990s.

The transition of the 1960s to the 1970s gave way to a surge of social activism and major changes within the university. In response to growing concerns of black students, the university ramped its efforts to hire black faculty. In 1972, "General Nat" (Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest) was discarded in favor of the Golden Eagles. In 1974, standout football player Fred Cook was voted as the first black Mr. USM. The first black Greek organizations premiered in 1975. By the time McCain retired in 1975, enrollment had climbed to 11,000 students.

In the years following McCain's campus transformation, The University of Southern Mississippi continued to expand dramatically. Notable changes included: replacement of the quarter system with the semester system, creation of the Polymer Science Institute, reorganization of the university's 10 schools into six colleges, affiliation with Conference USA, establishment of the School of Nursing as a college; the implementation of online classes; and an expansion of the Gulf Coast campus.

Recent developments

In the early 21st century, Southern Miss developed under the presidency of Dr. Shelby Thames. His tenure was characterized by a significant increase in the quantity of research conducted at the university. USM was classified as a "Doctoral / Research Extensive" university by the Carnegie Foundation during the Thames era. According to the National Science Foundation, USM spent $61 million on research and development in 2018, ranking it 183rd in the nation.

Dr. Thames' work to respond to the destruction wrought by Hurricane Katrina brought praise from the community. In October 2005, the Faculty Senate of the Gulf Park campus passed an official resolution of appreciation. The Hattiesburg American reported that Thames' post-Katrina address to the faculty at Hattiesburg was well received. Thames avoided laying off any University employees after the storm, although the Gulf Park campus alone sustained over $100 million in damage. (By contrast, Tulane University in New Orleans released approximately 25% of the staff. It dropped significant athletic and academic programs, including the Computer Science major and most engineering programs, in retrenchment after closure and damage to the campus.)

The Thames administration gained financing and supervised execution of several construction projects on campus, often in partnership with private-sector entities. An addition to the student union houses the second-largest Barnes & Noble store in the southern U.S., which is open to the community. Barnes & Noble pays $1.5 million in annual rent on this facility. Thames also negotiated a financially favorable food services agreement with Aramark (who will donate $9 million to university construction projects). Other enhancements include the upscale Power House restaurant (at a former college power plant adapted for this use); the $15 million sorority village; additions to the football, basketball, and baseball facilities; and urban design elements to make the campus more open, "green," and pedestrian-friendly.

The university experienced an unexpected, highly publicized drop from "Tier 3" to "Tier 4" in the U.S. News & World Report college rankings beginning in the 2004 edition. This roughly coincided with the height of the Shelby Thames controversy, when he fired tenured professors for "dissension". Several organizations scrutinized the legality of his actions, as tenure was designed to protect academic independence. In 2004, the USM Faculty Senate expressed their grievances to Thames after the allegations were heard. The Faculty Senate later published a review of the Thames Administration describing its controversies. After Thames resigned, by 2009, U.S. News & World Report again ranked the university as in the upper portion of "Tier 3.". In the 2011 U.S. News & World Report College ranking, USM was in the "Tier 2". In 2016, USM was ranked by U.S. News & World Report 125th in national public universities and 220th in national universities.

USM is also ranked highly by Washington Monthly, which has criticized rankings by U.S. News & World Report and developed its own system. These rankings attempt to make a more holistic assessment of an institution's value; USM ranked 98th out of 245 doctoral institutions. This was the highest ranking of any school in Mississippi. , Washington Monthly ranked USM 235th in national universities overall.

On February 10, 2013, an EF4 wedge tornado tore through the Southern Miss campus, causing tens of millions of dollars in damage. The tornado formed in western Hattiesburg and continued into Southwestern Alabama. The tornado destroyed two buildings and damaged six others. As most students were away for Mardi Gras break and there were advanced warnings of the tornado, there were no fatalities and few injuries on campus.

In June 2015 Southern Miss released a statement on the removal of the Mississippi state flag from all USM campuses. Later that year on October 25, 2015, university president Rodney D. Bennett released another statement, announcing that the university would only raise flags that he felt united all students. Since the removal of the state flag, protests to bring back the flag have become common Sunday occurrence on the Hattiesburg campus.

Golden Eagle logo dispute
In 2003, Southern Miss replaced their attack eagle logo from the 1990s with an eagle head logo. Two years later, when Southern Miss attempted to trademark the new logo, the University of Iowa filed against it, for they believed it looked too similar to their Hawkeyes logo. The new logo was very popular, and was placed on sports venues, advertising, and all merchandise. In August 2011, the US Patent and Trademark Office denied the trademark. In 2014, Southern Miss revealed a new logo that was a redesigned version of the 2003 logo. This new logo was copyrighted and has mostly replaced the 2003 logo.

Army ROTC closure
In early October 2013, the U.S. Army announced that, due to financial constraints and the low production rate of commissioned officers, 13 ROTC programs at various universities would be shut down, including the Golden Eagle Battalion of Southern Miss. The programs were to be ended by the end of the 2014–2015 spring semester, but the universities attempted to appeal the decision. On October 12, a press conference was held at USM to protest the closure; speakers included Governor Phil Bryant and Major General Augustus Collins. In early November, the Army said it had changed its plan to end programs at specified institutions, putting them on a two-year probation, with reevaluation. USM has been taken off probation and the ROTC program continues.

Campus

Gulf Park campus
The university's operations on the Mississippi Gulf Coast began in 1947 when Mississippi Southern College first organized classes at Van Hook Hall, on the Methodist Camp Grounds in Biloxi. In 1958, the operation was moved to Mary L. Michael Junior High School in Biloxi. To meet the educational needs of various occupational fields, the university relocated in 1964 to Keesler Air Force Base. In addition, it obtained classroom facilities for night classes from the Jefferson Davis campus of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Junior College. It called this complex the USM Harrison County Resident Center.

In September 1966, Southern Miss extended its offerings by adding the Jackson County Resident Center, located on the Jackson County campus of the MGCCC in Gautier. The Jackson County Center was built for the university by the Jackson County Board of Supervisors. This effort was encouraged by Dr. Shelby Thames when he was executive vice president of USM. The center was constructed with the intention of enabling students in Jackson County to complete four-year degrees in several fields through combined programs at MGCCC and USM. In 2009, however, the university decided to close its Jackson County Center and consolidate course offerings at other teaching sites on the Gulf Coast.

The Gulf Park College for Women in Gulfport, Mississippi, opened in 1921. The last commencement was held in 1971 and the University of Southern Mississippi acquired the campus in 1972. In March 1972, USM moved its Harrison County Resident Center program from the Jefferson Davis campus of MGCCC to the Gulf Park campus, located on Highway 90 in Long Beach. One of the most prominent landmarks on campus is the Friendship Oak. This huge live oak tree on the lawn of Hardy Hall and the Administration Building, dates from approximately 1487. The earliest available reference to the moniker Friendship Oak is found in an article written by Bob Davis, correspondent for the New York Sun. He described the tree in his book People, People, Everywhere (1936).

In July 1972, the Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning established the USM Gulf Park and Keesler Air Force Base Center as an upper-level degree completion regional campus of the university. It offered programs leading to degrees at the baccalaureate and graduate levels. University development has continued and on August 19, 2002, Southern Miss admitted its first class of freshmen on its Gulf Park Campus. USM is the only comprehensive university in the state with dual-campus status.

In the early 21st century the Gulf Park campus serves as the central campus for several remote teaching centers, including:
 The Stennis Space Center Teaching and Research Site is located in Hancock County on the Mississippi-Louisiana border; it is NASA's largest rocket engine test facility. Stennis also is home to the university's Department of Marine Science.
 Gulf Coast Student Service Center Teaching Site: located in Gulfport, this became the interim site of the Gulf Park campus following Hurricane Katrina, from 2005 to 2012.
 Gulf Coast Research Laboratory Teaching and Research Site (GCRL), located in Ocean Springs, is home of the Department of Coastal Sciences, the Center for Fisheries and Research and Development, the Marine Education Center, and the Thad Cochran Marine Aquaculture Center.
 Point Cadet Teaching Site, located in Biloxi. The R/V Tommy Munro, a 97-foot research vessel, is a unit of GCRL and docks at Point Cadet.
 The Keesler Center, located on Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, provides courses for military personnel as well as the civilian community.

Other USM units in the Gulf Coast region are elements of the College of Marine Sciences; the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory in Ocean Springs; the J. L. Scott Marine Education Center and Aquarium on Point Cadet in Biloxi; the Hydrographic Science Research Center; and the Center for Marine Sciences at the John C. Stennis Space Center in Hancock County.

On August 29, 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused about $115 million in damage to Gulf Park. Classes were relocated to the Healthmark Center in Gulfport. In 2012, the Gulfport campus was closed and all facilities were moved back to the renovated Long Beach campus. The Friendship Oak survived this storm as it survived Hurricane Camille and countless lesser storms that have hit the area.

Libraries
 The Cook Library, located on the Hattiesburg campus, contains the principal collections of books, periodicals, microforms, government documents and other materials which directly support the instructional programs of The University of Southern Mississippi at all levels.
 The McCain Library and Archives houses the Library's Special Collections and University Archives on the Hattiesburg campus. Collections include the de Grummond Children's Literature Collection as well as Mississippi oral history, manuscripts, and civil war materials.
 The Gulf Coast Library, located on the Long Beach campus, is part of the University Libraries serving the Gulf Coast campuses (Gulf Park, Keesler, and Jackson County campuses). This state-of-the-art library is the only comprehensive university library on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
 The Gunter Library is located at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory (GCRL), Ocean Springs, MS campus. The Library provides technical information for the research staff, resident faculty and students, and visitors. Included are files of abstracts and reprints, books and journals, expedition reports, dissertations, and reference works. Special book collections support the academic program of the Laboratory.

Landmarks

 The District is located near the intersection of US Highway 49 and Hardy Street. The historic district of campus is anchored by the five original buildings of the campus: Ogletree Alumni House, The Honor House, College Hall, Forrest Hall, and Hattiesburg Hall. It is also the traditional tailgating site for students during football season. It is home to Lake Byron, which has served as a focal point for many university activities and several weddings.
 The Century Gate is a brick and stone wall at the front of the university, between East and West Memorial Drive. It was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the university's founding in 1910. It displays the university seal, as well as the words "The University of Southern Mississippi."
 The All-American Rose Garden is one of two All-American Gardens in the state. The garden at Southern Miss was developed by the Hattiesburg Area Rose Society in 1972 through the leadership of the late William Wicht, a Hattiesburg resident who served as the first president of HARS. A memorial to Wicht's efforts to make the garden a reality is located next to the garden. Since its official dedication in 1974, the Southern Miss rose garden has received numerous awards for maintenance and display. Many a student has tried to impress his sweetheart by picking a rose, which if caught, carries a fine of up to 500 dollars.

The All-American Rose Garden is a rose garden found near Hardy Street on the campus of the University of Southern Mississippi. The garden has a semicircular form and contains many various types of hybrid roses in 32 rose beds. It existed since 1973 and was accredited the status 'Public Rose Garden' by the All-American Rose Selection Inc. in 1975. Many biologists and botanists come from all over the world to study the roses found in the rose garden. Due to the large number of rare roses found in the rose garden, plucking out a rose is against college policy, and getting caught currently results in a fine of $500.
 The Eagle Walk is found underneath the upper deck of M.M. Roberts Stadium. Two hours prior to football game day, a cannon is fired, which begins the procession. ROTC, The Pride of Mississippi Marching Band, university officials, and football players make a march through this street to the cheers of thousands of fans. Every fall, the incoming freshman give the walls and street a "fresh coat of paint" as they have done for half a century.
 The Dome is a nickname for the Lucas Administration building found at the Hardy Street entrance to campus. It is so named due to the large cupola at the peak of the roof. Originally, it was an orange color of copper. This faded to a dull green over the years. In 2001, a restoration project was undertaken which painted the dome back to its original copper color. Currently, it houses the offices of the president, vice president and other supporting staff.
 Shoemaker Square is an expanse of land formed near The Hub and the Walker Science Building Quad. The bricked fountain is focal point of the "Friday Night At the Fountain", a student-led pep rally prior to Saturday football games. The fountain has been tainted with soap suds by pranksters on many occasions.
 The Little Rock can be found in the historic district of campus. It is traditionally painted weekly and is used to promote various campus athletic, academic and fine art events. Occasionally, it can be found to be painted with logos of secret societies that exist on campus.
 The Eagle Statue, formally named "Lofty Return", is a massive three-ton sculpture of a Golden eagle, measuring 22 feet tall and 20 feet wide, and resting on an eight-foot-high pedestal. It stands behind Southern Hall, facing Hardy Street. A slightly smaller replica of it was also erected on the Gulf Park campus as a symbol tying the two campuses together.

Academics

Southern Miss offers approximately 189 programs leading to baccalaureate, master's, specialist, and doctorate degrees. Southern Miss has traditionally drawn many of its students from Mississippi schools and community colleges, hailing from every county in Mississippi, though today the majority of undergraduates come from public schools across the southern United States and around the globe. The university is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and its programs are accredited by 30 state and national agencies.

The University of Southern Mississippi offers more than 250 clubs and organizations, as well as intramural athletics and special events. Student organizations at Southern Miss include the Student Government Association, The Legacy, The Student Printz (the biweekly student-produced newspaper), The Southerner (the yearbook), Southern Style (the university's student orientation team), national fraternities and sororities, honor societies, and various religious organizations. In addition, the school participates in the NCAA's Division I-FBS, and Sun Belt Conference featuring year-round athletics in 16 sports. Southern Miss also hosts, participates in, and promotes more than 300 cultural events every year. Regular events include the Jazz and Blues Festival held on the Long Beach campus, performances by the theater, dance and music departments, and exhibits presented by the art department. The university's Dale Center for the Study of War and Society hosts several lectures and programs throughout the year. Several guest lecturers including General David Petraeus (2017), Dr. Robert M. Gates (2014), and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (2010) visited Hattiesburg as a part of the center's Dale Distinguished Lecture Series. 2018 marked the 13th annual Richard McCarthy Lecture Series, wherein students and the community at large could participate in a broad range of events and programming from panel discussions to roundtables focusing on war and the effects it has on the societies surrounding it.

The University of Southern Mississippi is governed by the University President along with the Mississippi Board of Trustees of State Institutions of Higher Learning. The President of the University of Southern Mississippi is the day-to-day administrator of Southern Miss and is appointed by and responsible to the State Institutions of Higher Learning Board. Dr. Rodney D. Bennett became the tenth president of the university in April 2013.

Mardi Gras holiday

The University of Southern Mississippi is one of the few universities to allow a two-day holiday each year for Mardi Gras. The university does not hold classes on the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, many USM students expressed a desire for the holiday. The university is near New Orleans and has ties to Biloxi and Mobile, where Mardi Gras is also celebrated. In 1981, Ken Stribling, president of USM's student body, organized a student drive to establish an annual holiday on Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras). The university's Calendar Committee refused the request, but Stribling appealed to USM President Aubrey Lucas. At an annual Christmas celebration at USM in December 1981, Lucas announced that USM would try the holiday on Fat Tuesday in 1982 to see how it worked. Stribling appealed again in 1982, and Lucas allowed the holiday for Fat Tuesday in 1983. The next year, the holiday for Fat Tuesday was made a permanent part of the university's calendar.

The university's student government in 2003 gained addition of the Monday before Ash Wednesday as part of the Mardi Gras Holiday, creating a two-day holiday for the event and a four-day weekend for students. While many USM students attend Mardi Gras celebrations, the majority of students use the four-day weekend to prepare for mid-term exams or visit family and friends. The novelty of Mardi Gras Holiday has become a recruiting tool.

Athletics

The Golden Eagles have excelled in all areas of athletics. Southern Miss has captured national titles twice in football and three times in track and field. In 2011, the Golden Eagle football team finished as the No. 19 team in the Associated Press (AP) College Poll. The Golden Eagle football team has also competed in twenty-four bowl games throughout the course of the program's history. It is important to note that twelve of these bowl games have resulted in a victory for the Golden Eagles. On November 13, 1982, the Golden Eagle football team upset Alabama's Crimson Tide in famed coach Bear Bryant's last home game in Tuscaloosa. M.M. Roberts Stadium is the home of the Golden Eagle football team and can hold up to 36,000 fans. The Golden Eagle baseball team are two-time Conference USA champions and have been invited to twelve regional NCAA tournaments and also a trip to the College World Series. The Golden Eagle baseball team has the No. 3 recruiting class in the country by Baseball America. University of Southern Mississippi baseball hosted the 2022 NCAA baseball regionals at Hill Denson  Field at Pete Taylor  Park, as well add  the MHSAA softball championships at HawkinsBarker field. The Southern Miss basketball team is a one-time champion of the NIT tournament.

Fine arts
The University of Southern Mississippi is the only institution within the state, and one of a dozen universities in America, to be accredited in all four fine arts emphasis areas: art, dance, theatre and music. It operates the Southern Miss Wind Ensemble and the USM Symphony Orchestra, which has enjoyed soloists such as singers Renee Fleming and Ray Charles, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, violinist Itzhak Perlman, violinist Joshua Bell, flautist James Galway, clarinetist Anthony McGill, trumpet player Doc Severinsen, and tenor Plácido Domingo. The Southern Chorale has become nationally and internationally recognized. They recently performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City and performed at various concerts in Norway and Sweden. The Southern Miss Pride of Mississippi Marching Band has performed at such events as the inauguration of President Jimmy Carter and Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York in November 2010. The Department of Theatre and Dance has been active in the Kennedy Center/American College Theatre Festival at times recently placing first in various areas of the national competition. Several productions from USM have been selected for performance at the Region IV (Southeast) festival; two productions (Catfish Moon & The Rimers of Eldritch) have been invited to the national KC/ACTF festival at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C..
