 Litigation
lawyer Morris Dees to lecture Wednesday
Litigation lawyer Morris Dees, co-founder of the Southern Poverty
Law Center, a nonprofit organization dedicated to seeking justice
and equal opportunities for minorities and the poor, will lecture
on "With Justice for All" Nov. 8, 6:30 p.m., in Pottle Auditorium.
The lecture, which is free and open
to the public, is sponsored by the Department of Sociology and Criminal
Justice Social Justice Lecture Series, Student Government Association,
College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Lyceum Arts
and Lectures Committee. A reception will follow the lecture.
"Morris Dees will address how our
commitment to justice for all will determine our nation's success
in the next century as America becomes more diverse and economic disparity
widens," said Anna Kleiner, assistant professor of sociology
and criminal justice.
Dees, the son of an Alabama farmer,
witnessed firsthand the painful consequences of prejudice and racial
injustice. He sympathized with the Civil Rights Movement but did not
become actively involved until he decided to leave his safe business
environment and undertake a new mission.
He and his law partner Joseph Levin
Jr. and civil rights activist Julian Bond, founded the Southern Poverty
Law Center located in Montgomery, Ala. Today the center is internationally
known for its tolerance education programs, legal victories against
white supremacists, and it's tracking of hate groups.
"We wanted a speaker who could
address issues of race, ethnicity, and tolerance in the southern region,"
said Ken Bolton, interim head of the Department of Sociology and Criminal
Justice.
During the past 25 years, Dees has been involved in several complex
federal civil rights cases involving appeals to federal circuit courts
and the United States Supreme Court. Cases included free speech, student
and teacher rights, and equal rights for women.
In 1987, he secured a $7 million jury
award in federal court on behalf of a mother of a young black man
lynched by the Ku Klux Klan. The verdict represented the first time
that a Klan organization had been held liable for the violent acts
of its members.

series, contact the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice at

 Nursing
students Aubrey Elias of Covington and Paige Stevens of Roseland discuss
healthy eating choices with Champ Cooper students, from left, Blair
Wascom, Jessica Walsh, and Blake Rappold.
Nursing students host 'Falling into Healthy Habits' at Champ Cooper
Senior nursing students conducted an all day health fair targeting
childhood obesity at Champ Cooper School on Oct. 30.
The students partnered with personnel
from the LSU Agricultural Center to present "Falling into Healthy
Habits," an interactive educational program, to seventh and eighth
grade students. The program was designed to help the students make
healthy choices on a daily basis through hands-on learning and education.
Students learned how to read the new
food guide pyramid and food labels, determine age appropriate portion
sizes, and measure their body mass index. They also learned how to
make healthier food choices by limiting their fat and sugar intake,
especially at fast food restaurants.
The nursing students presented the program
as part of their Capstone project," a community-based health
program required for graduation. School of Nursing seniors are required
to design a project that addresses a health problem or concern and
to collaborate with the community to implement it.
"We decided to target childhood
obesity because statistics show that nearly 20 percent of children
ages 16-19 are overweight," said senior nursing student Kathy
Steffans of Mandeville. "Louisiana has one of the highest obesity
rates in the nation with one in three school-aged children being obese.
Childhood obesity puts individuals at risk for stroke, high blood
pressure and diabetes later in life."
The Southeastern nursing students presenting
the program under the direction of their instructor, Cathy Holland,
associate professor of nursing, were Steffans, Donna Bankston of Franklinton,
Aubrey Elias of Covington, Carol Hinson of Holden, Brandi Huber of
Slidell, Anna Neal of Mandeville, and Paige Stevens of Roseland. LSU
AgCenter participants were Kathy Mauthe, Linda Edwards and Natasha
Pittman.

 History
professors Charles A. Dranguet Jr. and Roman J. Heleniak, pictured
at the "Swamp Walk" in the Manchac Swamp
History professors' book chronicles socioeconomic history of Pass
Manchac
More than two decades of research by a pair of veteran Southeastern
history professors has been gathered in a new book, Backdoor to
the Gulf: An American Paradise Lost, the Pass Manchac Region, 1699-2006.
The book by Charles A. Dranguet Jr.
and Roman J. Heleniak was funded by Southeastern's Lake Pontchartrain
Basin Research Program through a grant from the Environmental Protection
Agency. Copies of the book will be distributed to elected officials
and other policy makers and made available in area libraries, Dranguet
said.
A socioeconomic history of the Manchac
region, the book's major emphasis is the demise of the great cypress
forest which once covered 129,000 acres of the narrow strip of land,
marsh and forest separating lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain and the
areas west and south of Lake Maurepas.
Dranguet, who is also interim director
of Southeastern's International Initiatives Office, and Heleniak,
former head of the Department of History and Political Science, describe
the book as "a labor of love." After "countless forays"
into the region during more than 35 years of teaching at Southeastern,
the professors said they have come to know the Manchac Swamp intimately.
The book's four chapters examine facets
of the region's history, including the first recorded exploration
of Bayou Manchac in 1699; the shipping heyday of the 1830-50s; the
coming of the railroad and the skirmishes around its rails during
the Civil War; the lost communities of Frenier, Ruddock and LaBranche;
and the ultimately disastrous operations of the cypress industry that
denuded the swamp from the 1870s to the 1920s.
Dranguet and Heleniak also include a
chapter about the area's residents whom they describe as the "new
hunters and gatherers" -- the "campers" who spend leisure
time on the swamp's waters and banks and the "swampers"
who, like the earliest Native American inhabitants, "eke out
a living from whatever nature provided."
Their research is supplemented by oral
history accounts from former residents of the communities swept away
by early 20th century hurricanes, such as the late Helen Burg, who
recalled life in Ruddock and Frenier and families, such as the Renos,
who have lived and worked in the swamp for generations.
Dranguet said the double devastation
in 2005 of the hurricanes Katrina and Rita has "reminded residents
of southeast Louisiana of how vulnerable the region is to major storms.
"If we are reminded of the damage
man has done to the wetlands discussed in this publication,"
he said, "we might be less likely to repeat the abuse of the
Manchac environment."

 Children's
Letters to God, coming to the Columbia Theatre for the Performing
Arts Nov. 17, 7:30 p.m., and Nov. 18, 2 p.m., is a family-friendly
show that will appeal to adults as well as children. Cast members
include, from left, Matte O'Brien, Kari Morris, Joseph Zahn, Traci
Skoldberg, and Cleo Berry.
Columbia's Children's Letters to God is family-friendly,
feel good show
It's a well-known fact that kids say the darnedest things. And
as a delightful new musical proves, they'll have their say with anyone
-- even God.
"Dear God. Are you really invisible
or is that just a trick?"
"Dear God. How come you did all
the miracles in the old days and you don't do any now?"
"Dear God. It's great the way you
always get the stars in the right places."
These are just some of the frank questions
and tell-it-like-it-is revelations that make up Children's Letters
to God, the new musical inspired by the international best-selling
book.
Children's Letters to God is
coming to Southeastern Louisiana University's Columbia Theatre for
the Performing Arts in downtown Hammond for two performances -- Nov.
17 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 18 at 2 p.m.
The family-friendly, feel good show
is presented through a collection of songs and scenes focusing on
questions kids have about the world and themselves while growing up.
Sixteen tuneful songs and assorted scenes explore timeless issues
such as sibling rivalry, divorce, holidays, loss of a beloved pet,
the trials of being unathletic and first love.
"Quality family programming is
a goal of the Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts and we are
proud to be associated with this production," said Donna Gay
Anderson, director of the Columbia Theatre/Fanfare. "Our youth
are faced with struggles and challenges never imagined a few decades
ago. This production is a heart warming musical which addresses some
of the dilemmas children and teens face today."
Children's Letters to God has
been adapted from the page to the stage by best-selling author Stuart
Hample. Snippets from actual letters -- "Dear God, If you're
so famous, how come you're not on TV?" … "Dear God.
What does begat mean? Nobody will tell me" -- are scattered throughout
the 90-minute show as the cast, playing characters ages 9 to 13, grapple
with issues that carry a universal message and cross the boundaries
of age, geography, and religion.
When the show opened off-Broadway at
the Lamb's Theatre on West 44th Street critics were charmed.
The Daily News called it "an endearing,
kid-friendly musical" and The New York Post described it as "cheery
and uplifting." The New York Times raved, "Children's
Letters to God has a sweet, warm heart" and "The Wall
Street Journal" dubbed the show "a smile-making musical
for all ages."
One critic, noting that the show captivated
its young audience, added, "You don't need kids in tow to have
a great time at Children's Letters to God. It's just as funny,
tuneful and professionally done as you would want a musical for grown-ups
to be."
Tickets are $32, Orchestra 1 and Loge;
$28, Orchestra 2 and Balcony 1; and $20, Orchestra 3 and Balcony 2
for the Nov. 17 evening production, and $28, Orchestra 1 and Loge;

for the Nov. 18 matinee.
