academic career < 1. significant stint in the academy (i.e., higher education) by an individual (faculty), having produced a record of scholarship in teaching, research and service (i.e., not administration); 2. do not see Angeline Dvorak.

Norton, M. J. < 1. Melanie Norton, Associate Professor of Library and Information Sciences at USM; 2. member of the Faculty Senate who voted "no confidence" in Shelby Thames (see 40-0) in March of 2004, but shortly afterward felt sorry for doing so and wrote a letter to The Hattiesburg American stating her feeling that the issues were not black and white, and that Shelby Thames was not such a bad President; 3. consistently pro-Thames member of faculty (except for the one hiccup).

Union Rooms A, B & C < site of the Glamser-Stringer appeal hearing on April 28-29, 2004.

USM Rose Garden < 1. with about 750 plants, one of only two All-American Rose Society accredited rose gardens in the State of Mississippi; 2. beautiful attraction at the main entrance to The University of Southern Mississippi; 3. like "comfort food" during the current crises at USM; 4. likely to be the only accredited piece of USM (outside College of Science &Technology) still standing when the Thames Regime is down for the count; 5. that is, if Angeline Dvorak and Gregg Lassen don’t put an innovation park on top of it first (as we all know, the land is not generating any revenue in its current form).
