a day’s work for a day’s pay < 1. specious argument made to criticize USM faculty by pro-Thames members of the business community; 2. now, all anti-Thames people can think about when they hear this line is Frank Glamser and Gary Stringer kicking back on a gorgeous white sand beach with a cold one.

Hanbury Memo < "From: Jack Hanbury To: USM Deans Date: Fri, 30 Apr 2004 I have been advised that a couple of you have consulted personal counsel and decided to give the FS the requested information regardless of my legal opinion and Dr. Thames’ instructions. The last I heard, Dr. Thames was your boss, not some nebulous ‘outside counsel.’ Quite simply, regardless of what you or your misguided personal counsel think, the law means you take your orders from Dr. Thames and it is not up to you to decide to do otherwise. You are insulated from personal liability for doing so. In have informed Dr. Thames of your grossly insubordinate action."

Quinlivan, Steve < 1. resident of Point Clear, Alabama, father of Rachel Quinlivan; 2. wrote letter (on 5/8/2004) to The Hattiesburg American indicating that Shelby Thames is a lowly individual who called his daughter’s integrity into question and would subject anyone — friend or foe — to his venom if it furthered his aims; 3. closed his letter stating, "I, for one, find [Thames’] hunger for power, his vindictiveness and his underhanded methods to be unbecoming a college president".
