The Repertory Dance Company Fall Dance Concert was held at the Mannoni Performing Arts Center. The dancers involved in this dance concert are part of the University of Southern Mississippi Dance Department meaning they are either pursuing a degree in dance or teach dance at a university level.

The Quiet American written by Graham Greene is set in the first Indochina war in Vietnam. The novel reflects on the opening stages of American involvement in the conflict between Vietnam and French, which led to the war.
