Southeastern Theatre presents Beware the Licorice Vines
Southeastern Theatre is set to present the world premiere of Beware the Licorice Vines by playwright Eddie Zipperer, winner of the first Inkslinger Playwriting Competition.
The show will run Monday-Thursday, March 9-12.
The performances take place in Vonnie Borden Theatre in D Vickers Hall at 7:30
p.m. General admission tickets are $10; $5 for Southeastern faculty and staff, seniors,
and non-Southeastern students; and Southeastern students are admitted free with ID.
Beware the Licorice Vines tells the tale of a young artist, Hudson Manning, who has lost his will to paint
after surviving a tragedy. This drama tells the story of how he breaks free of his
past and finds his way.
"I think the audience will have a lot of fun watching the play," said Director
Chad Winters. "It's a drama with a lot of mixed in humor. Sometimes we go inside Hudson's
head or his dreams, and it's a wild ride."
The cast consists of MJ Ricks of Lacombe as "Hudson," Emily Nodine of Central
as "Laura," Misty Gros of Lafitte as "Katie," Tyler Meyer of Mandeville as "Tom,"
and Taylor Sinclaire of LaPlace as "Radio Voice."

Aquila Theatre to present The Tempest at Columbia Theatre
Southeastern's Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts will present Aquila Theatre
in Shakespeare's The Tempest for one night only on Saturday, March 14, at 7:30 p.m. in the downtown Hammond theatre.
Aquila Theatre was founded in London in 1991 by Peter Meineck and has been based
in New York City since 1999. Since Aquila's mission is to bring the greatest theatrical
works to the greatest number, they present a regular season of plays in New York,
at international festivals, and tours to approximately 70 American towns and cities
each year.
"A Columbia fan favorite, Aquila Theatre brings its innovative style and dynamic
physical approach to this famous tale of forgiveness and enlightenment," said Columbia
Theatre Interim Director Roy Blackwood. "With an ensemble of superb performers and
Aquila's exhilarating execution, this new production of The Tempest is sure to delight."
Believed to be Shakespeare's final play, The Tempest is filled with magic, the supernatural, and a heightened sense of theatricality,
Blackwood added.
"Prospero, the Duke of Milan, has been usurped and exiled by his own brother
and left stranded on a remote and mystical island with his daughter Miranda," he said.
"Hoping to restore Miranda to her rightful place and to seek revenge, Prospero conjures
a storm to shipwreck his brother and his conspirators. The story becomes complicated
as Miranda falls in love with the son of one of the conspirators."
Tickets for The Tempest range from $25 - $39 and are available at the Columbia Theatre box office Monday
through Friday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. or by phone at 543-4371. Patrons may also purchase
tickets online at www.columbiatheatre.org. Special student ticket prices are available. Call the box office for more information.
All Southeastern faculty, retired faculty or university staff with ID may purchase
one ticket for The Tempest and receive one ticket at half price. Both tickets must be purchased in the same
transaction at the Columbia box office. Contact the box office at 543-4371 for more
information.

Student Union. The bookstore now occupies the former Lion's Den location, providing
customers with approximately 3,000 additional square footage in shopping space.
The bookstore is the second major milestone in the ongoing Student Union expansion
project. In February 2014, the Student Union addition opened, giving students and
the community access to nearly 90,000 square feet of modern amenities and services
including The Mane Dish dining facility and the Grand Ballroom.
University Bookstore is managed by Follett, a business partner managing the facility
for more than 20 years.
"With the new, larger store, our customers will enjoy an enhanced shopping experience.
We look forward to serving the Southeastern community, the general community, and
guests and visitors to the university in the new store," said Robin Parker, director
of Marketing and Strategic Initiatives for Auxiliary Services.

memory of George Graham.
An employee of Southeastern for 18 1/2 years in the physical plant horticulture
department, Graham died of a sudden heart attack.
His presence will be missed in Friendship Circle, but his legacy will live on.
Women's History Month celebrated
The College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences at Southeastern will host Women's
History Month during March with a free lecture series.
"As always, we in the Department of History and Political Science are happy to
join with our colleagues in the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences in
sponsoring the 2015 Women's History Month series," said Bill Robison, head of the
department. "We have a diverse and interesting list of presentations this year. We
encourage everyone to join us in celebrating Women's History."
All Women's History Month lectures will take place in the Student Union Theatre
and includes the following:
▪ March 11, 12:30 p.m. – Margaret Gonzalez Perez (History and Political Science
Department): "The Magdalen Girls." Institutions for the disposition of unwed mothers
and their children were common throughout the 19th and 20th centuries in England,
Ireland, France, Australia, and even the US. These "asylums," as they were often called,
housed girls and women who were perceived as bringing shame on their families' honor
by becoming pregnant. Most of the women had no access to birth control methods, even
in the 20th century, and many had become pregnant through rape or incest, but the
penalty was the same. They were labelled as inmates and used as forced labor in private
institutions, punished for the crime of bearing illegitimate children. The children
were typically removed from their mothers and given up for adoption, often overseas
and often against the wishes of the mother. The women were detained and many were
held for life, although they had never been charged, tried, or appeared before a court.
In Ireland, the state often forced unwed mothers into laundry workhouses run by the
Catholic Church, where they were imprisoned as a threat to the moral fiber of society.
The men who had impregnated these women were subject to no penalties. These "Magdalen
laundries," as they were called, operated in Ireland until 1996. Their closing was
due, in part, to the media scandal that occurred when one such laundry in Dublin sold
a portion of its property and the remains of 155 inmates, buried in unmarked graves,
were exhumed and relocated in a mass grave. The subsequent inquiry into government
and Church records of these facilities, and the women detained within their confines,
sparked further interest in how secular and religious institutions collaborated to
deny women not only their civil liberties and freedom, but their children, in secrecy
and without benefit of due process.
▪ March 18, 12:30 p.m. – Carole Madere (Department of Languages and Communication)
and Debbie Johnson (Family and Consumer Sciences Department): "American Fashion and
the Women Who Made it Fashionable." Before Oscar de la Renta and Anne Klein became
household names, there was an innovative female publicist named Eleanor Lambert, who
recognized during World War II an opportunity to put them and the entire American
fashion industry center stage. The lecture will highlight the career of the first
fashion publicist and describe fashion's trends as they reflected the Zeitgeist of
the decades.
▪ March 25, 12:30 p.m. – Tara Mann (Sociology and Criminal Justice Department):
"Violence and Silence: Misogyny, #yesallwomen, and Anita Sarkeesian." Which people
are permitted to speak about their experiences? Who has the power to silence them?
And what do these questions have to do with feminism? The presentation will explore
issues of gender-based power dynamics, misogyny, and discourse control in the #yesallwomen
and "Gamergate" phenomena. It will involve frank discussion of graphic, abusive, and
threatening communications made online to Anita Sarkeesian and others. Attendee discretion
is strongly advised.
▪ April 1, 11 a.m. – Natasha Whitton (English Department): "Shades of Gray in
Fifty Shades of Grey: Erotic, Literature, or Fiction?" Originally published on the
internet as a fan fiction response to the Twilight series, "Fifty Shades of Grey"
gained notoriety as the best-seller that was frequently hidden behind other reading
material in carpool lines, condemned for its inappropriate content and parodied by
comedians and late-night talk show hosts. What is behind that popularity? Is another
movie franchise in the making? This presentation will steer a PG-rated course through
the controversy surrounding this work, its reception, and the inevitable backlash.

Southeastern students win 14 awards in national competition
Southeastern students have been honored with the most awards ever in the 2015 Gold
Circle Awards for Yearbooks from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association for their
work on the university's 2014 annual "Le Souvenir."
The 2015 Gold Circle Awards attracted more than 4,600 entries from yearbook and
digital media from colleges, universities and secondary schools throughout the United
States. Gold Circle Awards recognize superior work by student journalists, usually
as individuals, but sometimes as an entire staff working with either print or online
media.
"This year, our students earned an unprecedented 14 awards for their work," said
Director of Student Publications Lee E. Lind. "Their dedication and expanding knowledge
about the craft allows them to compete and be recognized alongside their peers from
schools across the nation, many of whom are much larger and have many more resources
than we have."
Chris Martin, a 2014 communications graduate from Albany, earned three 1st place
awards for his design and photography work in categories such as "title page design"
and "sport action photo." His submission in the "photo portfolio" category, a collection
of photography published in the yearbook, was selected as the best in the competition.
He also received a 2nd place honor for his written work in the "sports reporting"
category.
"As the Editor in Chief of the 2014 Le Souvenir yearbook, I am honored that we
received 14 awards from the prestigious Columbia Scholastic Press Association," said
Martin. "As a recent graduate, the skills and experience I gained while at Student
Publications from both the yearbook and newspaper have enabled me to start my career
as a journalist on the right foot. Immediately after production finished for the yearbook,
'The Advocate' in Baton Rouge hired me as a page designer on their copy desk. As for
the work during my time as a student, I must thank all of my fellow students who made
all of this possible. Without their tireless efforts, none of these accomplishments
would have been possible."
Martin teamed with several other students to garner recognition in two additional
competition categories. He and Assistant Editor Fernanda Chagas, a sophomore graphic
design and printmaking major of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, partnered to earn a 2nd place
recognition in the "student life spread: one spread" category and a 3rd place for
the design of the book's cover. Chagas, who is editor for the upcoming 2015 edition
of the yearbook, also earned a 3rd place award for her writing in the Greek and student
organization section of the book.
"I know all the effort and hard work that Christopher and the staff put into
the yearbook, and seeing it being recognized by such a prestigious institution makes
up for all the late hours and morning meetings at the office," said Chagas. "Being
editor now, makes me appreciate all the dedication and creativity he put into the
making of this book. I hope we can do as a good job as he did, and bring in even more
pride to Southeastern's legacy."
Additional students recognized were Claire Salinas, a 2014 communications graduate
from Hammond, and Cyprien Campeaux, a senior graphic design major from Haughton. Salinas
was recognized for her feature writing in the student life section of the yearbook
and also partnered with Martin to earn a 3rd place award for their design work in
the "sports spread: one spread" category. Campeaux also earned a 3rd place standing
for his photography in the "academic photo" category.
Additional awards were bestowed on the staff for submissions that required the
collaboration of three or more individuals. These included a 1st place standing for
design work featuring Southeastern's fall and spring commencement ceremonies in the
"academic spread multi-page presentation" category. Design work by the staff was also
recognized in three other categories including sports, people spreads, and the index
of the book.
"I couldn't be prouder of our students," said Lind. "The skills and experience
they acquire by working with Student Publications not only allows them to reach a
level of excellence in these competitions, but also readies them for employment in
a variety of fields."
The CSPA is an international student press association, founded in 1925, uniting
student journalists and faculty advisers at schools and colleges through educational
conferences, idea exchanges and award programs. It is based out of Columbia University
in New York.

Professional activities
David Gurney (Mathematics) presented a talk titled "Fixing a Really Bad Statistical Graph" at
the 92nd meeting of the Louisiana/Mississippi section of the Mathematical Association
of America in Long Beach, Miss.
Dr. Luanne Billingsley (School of Nursing) has collaborated with Dr. Denise M. Danna, Dr. Stephanie Pierce,
Dr. Rose M. Schaubhut, and Dr. Marsha Bennett (LSUHSC School of Nursing) on a recent
article published in the March 2015 issue of The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (JCEN) titled "Educating Nursing to Provide Culturally Competent Care During Disasters."
Health disparities are exacerbated during times of disasters. To decrease health disparities,
it is essential that health care providers understand the specific needs, culture,
and norms of individuals, groups, and populations in a disaster. Survivors respond
and recover from disaster events within the context of their culture and beliefs;
therefore, implementing cultural competent interventions for disaster victims is central
to providing services and care. This article described the development, implementation,
and evaluation of a continuing education program and academic courses for nurses and
nursing students.
Several accounting faculty members from the College of Business presented papers at the annual conference of the American Society of Business and
Behavioral Sciences held Feb. 19-22 in Las Vegas. Dr. Joseph Morris presented a paper co-authored with Dr. Pierre Titard (both from Accounting and Finance) titled "Who Killed Convergence;" Dr. Pierre Titard
