It’s been five years since Miss Southern shared her reign and on Tuesday, September 14, a king was finally chosen.

Eight male students competed in various segments in a pageant titled, “A King for Kenya, A Quest to find her Southern Knight.”

Contestant seven, Joshua DuBois, a 23 year old senior majoring in Electrical Engineering from Englewood, California was crowned Mr. Southern University 2010 – 2011, by Miss Southern University 2010 – 2011, Kenya Warren.

The winners, with the exception of Mr. Congeniality, were chosen by the panel of judges. The second runner-up was Jeremy Wright, a 20-year old junior majoring in Mechanical Engineering from Maringouin, LA. The first runner-up was James Armstrong, a 22-year old senior majoring in Business Management from Lafayette. Mr. Congeniality, voted for by the contestants was David Worthington, a 22-year old senior majoring in Business Management from Illinois.

After an introductory dance with the Gold ‘n Bluez, the eight contestants showed their best swimwear attire.

While most chose to wear swim trunks and baby oil, Contestant three, William Allen, a 23 year old senior majoring in Music from Texas, wore floaties and an inner tube with a shirt that rad, “I AM MR. SU.”

Before the talent segment of the pageant, a Southern University student whose stage name is “Miss Christina” wowed the crowd with her vocal performance of “I Have Nothing Without You.”

Contestant seven Joshua DuBois showcased his talent, respect and addressed the crowd as one would during Medieval Times. Another memorable talent was performed by Contestant five Demarcus Thomas, a 22 year old senior majoring in Mass Communications from Houston. He acted out a boxing match with fellow classmate, Terrance Rubin.

Immediately after the contestants modeled their formal wear, they participated in the Question and Answer segment.

When asked, “What do you feel is the man’s role in a relationship,” Contestant four, Jeremy Wright said, “I feel the man’s role in a relationship is to hold down their queen, be steadfast, unremovable and unshakeable in love.”

DuBois was asked to choose one word to describe Mr. Southern University and why. He chose, “apotheosis.” DuBois chose this word because of its definition, of or related to Godliness. “As Mr. Southern, he would need to be of or related to God. God understands that the balance in the world,” DuBois said.

After crowning the new Mr. Southern 2010 – 2011, Miss Southern has happy that she was able to bring back the pageant and title. “A lot of guys are interested in being a leader on campus but are not so in a political arena. So this is a way for them to work and be active in the community,” Warren said.

Mr. Southern 2010 – 2011, Joshua DuBois was not expecting to win the title. “It’s really nice. I didn’t necessarily expect it,” DuBois said. “I had to upstep a lot of talented individuals to win the title,” DuBois continued. DuBois plans to incorporate community service initiatives with his fraternity, the Rho Chapter of Phi Beta Sigma, Fraternity, Inc. “I want to make a lot of collaborations with SGA, the community and not just on the campus but in Baton Rouge as well.”

The pageant was hosted by Heather Williams, Miss Southern University 1996 – 1997 and Ted James, Esq., 2003 Southern University graduate and Member of the Top 40 under 40.

The panel consisted of five qualified judges. Sabrina Whitney, Miss Southern (Baton Rouge) 2009 – 2010; LaShena Hughes, Miss Southern University (New Orleans) 2010 – 2011; Tiffany Lloyd, Miss Black USA 2008 – 2009; Avery Wilson, Mr. Southern University 2002 and Mikea James, representative from St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
