The
Light
of
Millsaps
"Colleges survive as islands of light
across the nation. The young ones strug-
gle toward accreditation; the old ones
to keep their place, or better the order
in achievement and endowment." At the
same time they are cultural centers of
their states, patrons of the arts and
sciences. Millsaps is the epitome of high
ideals and educational standards in this
area— a light for her sister institutions.
Illuminating the entire campus, her
gleam is like all lights in one respect: it
is not made up of a single ray, but it is
instead a combination of many lights
which in themselves symbolize the in-
trinsic qualities of Millsaps.

In all levels of society there is one individual who rises
above the masses. Each person elects his own course in his
attempt to achieve greatness, and each has his own reason
for choosing that course. The man at Millsaps who has achiev-
ed this height of greatness in the hearts of both the students
and the faculty is the person to whom we the editor and staff
of the 1965 Bobashela dedicate our yearbook.
He is the man who commands the respect of all, whether he
is joking with friends in the grill or seriously counseling a
student concerning some academic or social problem. He
is the man whom the girls adopt as their "father away from
home." He is a brother to. the boys. Few have achieved the
sincere respect and immense popularity that this man has.
Every new day brings many surprises from the student
body, but he is patient. In ways which we cannot trace he
guides us from our first day on campus through graduation.
He sees each of us as "promising products" of society, even
though we do not as yet have our final coats of paint and
varnish. He wants only the best for us and is satisfied with only
the best from us.
Because we respect him as he respects us, we honor in the
1965 Bobashela— Mr. John H. Christmas, Dean of Students.

Government Selects Library
for Documental Depository
Near the close of the session of 1905-1906 An-
drew Carnegie offered to give the college $15,000
for a library building if the trustees would provide
an endowment of an equal amount. The endow-
ment required was given by Major Millsaps. The
Millsaps-Wilson Library now has the honor of being
a partial depository for government documents.
The library system offers the resourses of 47,000
books, pamphlets and reports filling eight file draw-
ers, 125 maps, 70 phonograph records, and subscrip-
tions to 400 periodicals. The library will accom-
modate 200 students who have free access to the
books and periodicals— a privilege made possible by
an honor system.
The library staff consists of four full-time pro-
fessional librarians and of assistants, two members
of a clerical staff and ten student workers.

Courses Stress Intellectual
Consideration of Situations
Contributions of ancient civilizations, atrocites of
the French Revolution, Americanism of 1776, prin-
ciples of constitutional law— these are some concerns of
the Department of History at Millsaps.
History courses have been so planned that the
student may follow the causal relationship in human
development. Upon a thorough factual foundation
emphasis is placed on the progressive organization
of social, intellectual, and moral ideas of peoples
and nations. In the approach to an understanding
of historical phenomena, literature, religion, racial
factors, economic conditions, and social institutions,
as well as forms of government, are considered.

English Department Instills
Appreciation of Literature
Emphasizing creativity while instilling in students
an appreciation of great literature of the world,
the Department of English has three major pur-
poses: to give all students proficiency in the writing
of clear and correct English; to give to all who wish
to pursue electives in this department a deep under-
standing and appreciation of selected authors and
periods of literature,- and to provide, for those who
wish to teach or to enter graduate school, adequate
preparation and a thorough background for specializ-
ed study.
In addition, the English Department had this year
an added intellectual outlet. Miss Eudora Welty,
the first lady of contemporary American letters,
agreed to accept the first Writer-in-Residence posi-
tion at Millsaps for the 1964-1965 session. Miss Welty
conducted a semi-weekly seminar on the art of
fiction. She also presented one lecture-reading per
term, which was open to the public. At her winter
lecture she spoke on "The Southern Writer Today"
before a near-capacity crowd at the Christian center.

Language Studies Encourage
SpiritOf World-wide Interest
The most distant country has become a next-door neigh-
bor in this era of jets and rapid communication. With such
propinquity, the study of foreign languages has reached
new heights in importance. At Millsaps each student is
required to take two years of a foreign or an ancient
language. Courses are offered in French, German, Spanish,
Italian, Latin, and Greek.
The ideas and culture of Greece and Rome live on
today in their contributions to the culture of western civiliza-
tion. The study of Greek and Latin, languages which com-
pose so much of all other languages, affords a rigorous
exercise in the scientific method, producing habits and re-
flexes of accuracy, efficiency, and system.
The German and Romance Language Departments have
been set up to give those students taking their language
requirement a firm basis in grammar and an introduction
to the literature of this language. For majors in either of
the departments, courses have been designed to give the
student a broad and basic conception of the great literature
and history typical to the language. The language depart-
ment has attained vitality with the addition of electronic
equipment. Now in operation for the fifth year, the equip-
ment consists of a master control unit and recorders, micro-
phones, and earphones in separate acoustical-tiled booths.
Students are required to meet language lab at least one
hour each week in addition to class time. The equipment
enables the student to hear recordings in the language
he is studying. With the basic study of pronunciation and
vocabulary becoming a matter for individual study and for
laboratory drill sessions, classroom time is left free for
concentration on structure and grammar.

Religion Courses Assist
In Building Of Beliefs
It may sometimes appear that religion is in
danger of being forced to satellite importance
by mighty Science, while the world, intent on its
race for power through science, forgets another
kind of power: God. While most people forget,
Millsaps does not.
Millsaps College, as an institution of the Metho-
dist Church, seeks to be a genuinely Christian
college while believing that religion is a vital part
of education and that education is an integral part
of the Christian religion. The courses in religion
here are designed to give the student an under-
standing and an appreciation of the Bible and of
the place of organized religion in life and in
society; to help students develop an adequate
personal religious faith; and to prepare them for
rendering effective service in the program of the
church.
Millsaps requires six hours of religion for gradua-
tion. The seventeen courses in this department under
the guidance of Assistant Professor Robert B. Anding
and Assistant Professor Robert Wiley Lewis III
include The Story of the Old and New Testaments,
The Teachings of Jesus, The Prophets, The Life of
Paul, The Work of the Pastor, Comparative Re-
ligion, and The Organization of the Church.
Sociology, Psychology Teach
Man To Understand Himself
Two sciences which do not have laboratories with test tubes and
Bunsen burners, as do the physical sciences, are sociology and psy-
chology. These social sciences fake as their laboratory man, his life, and
the world in which he lives.
The main objectives of the Department of Psychology are to help
students gain a better understanding of themselves and others with
whom they live and work and to develop more objective attitudes
toward human behavior,- to give a foundation for graduate work and
professional training in psychology; and to provide courses which are
basic for successful professional work with people. The Department
of Psychology at Millsaps has added a very capable staff to assist in
presenting a wider variety of courses in this field. Five Ph.D.'s and one
M.D. from the University Medical Center are new members of the
faculty.
The offerings of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology are
planned to meet the needs of a variety of students. An average student
may find knowledge about human-group relationships which will be
useful to him as a person, parent, citizen, or worker. For some students
sociology will not be a career but merely a part of their academic
backgrounds. Whatever career they choose, from medicine to law, there
will be a need for the understanding of people and society to be
successful in a profession. Studying sociology may aid a person to
fill with greater insight these varied roles which are his inescapable
destiny. Other students will find courses which are essential background
for a career in social work. The department also offers the basic
undergraduate courses which are needed as a foundation for specialized
graduate study in sociology and anthropology.
Many tributaries of psychology and sociology have not been explored;
this is one aspect which adds to their interest and popularity among the
social sciences.

Practice Teaching Gives
Experience, Background
Whether the student studying education is in a
psychology class playing "cat and rat" or practice
teaching in a local school, he is preparing himself
for the moment when he will one day take his
position as a molder of the minds of tomorrow.
Realizing the great responsibility which lies before
him, the student prepares himself to meet his
challenge with the desire to help others learn and
become the tomorrow of our nation.
In this fast-moving and competitive world of
today the eminent need for qualified teachers and
personnel is ever-present. The Department of Edu-
cation at Millsaps is striving to attain this goal
by providing vast opportunity for the develop-
ment of skill, self-reliance, and those inner resources
which lead to self-mastery and happiness. Under
the direction of Dr. R. Edgar Moore, this depart-
ment has continued to progress toward a goal of
excellent service.
Professional training is offered in both the ele-
mentary and secondary fields. Courses are de-
signed to introduce the student to the fundamental
principles of teaching and learning. The student
observes and teaches in an accredited school for
a semester. This experience is supported and supple-
mented by seminars and conferences between stu-
dents and college supervisors. This program is
designed to meet the requirements of the Division
of Certificatioh, the State Department of Education,
and Class A certificates in both the elementary
and secondary fields.

Economics Helps People
To Be Useful Citizens
The social science which might seem to be least
involved with social conditions is economics and
business administration, but one of the aims of the
department is to equip students with a more ade-
quate understanding of modern economic society
in order to assist its members in becoming intelligent
citizens of the communities in which they live. The
department also seeks to provide a thorough, basic
foundation for specialized graduate or professional
study and to give students who expect to enter the
business world a broad background and some of
the fundamental information which will contribute
to their success in their later lives.
The curriculum of the Millsaps economics depart-
ment follows the pattern recommended by the
American Association of Collegiate Schools of Busi-
ness. For those interested in accounting, the Millsaps
curriculum offers the opportunity to take courses
in all the subjects covered in the Certified Public
Accountant examination. Graduates of this study
are permitted to take the CPA examination without
the usual requirement of two years of apprentice-
ship experience.

Fine Arts Courses Stimulate
Maturation Of Skills,Talents
"Art is the expression of emotion, . . . communication, . . .
the sharing of new discoveries." Millsaps students enjoy varied
opportunities in the Department of Fine Arts: the music de-
partment headed by Associate Professor Leland Byler and
the art department headed by Mr. Karl Wolfe. The Fine
Arts Department as a whole is devoted to the development
of the skills and appreciation which will make art meaningful.
More and more students throughout the state are becoming
aware of the possibilities for careers relating to the graphic
arts and particularly of the opportunity to study with Karl
Wolfe, who has long been recognized as one of the South's
outstanding artists. Work by Millsaps students is exhibited
annually by the Municipal Art Gallery in Jackson. Local
concerns employ Millsaps students for advertising and illustrat-
ing work. This year the art department painted signs for the
zoo.
Another of the fine arts is music. This department has a
faculty of four full-time teachers. Majors are offered in Music
Education, Organ, Piano, and Voice. There are also extracur-
ricular offerings through the three choirs and the newly
organized band.

Math Students Perceive
Art Written In Numbers
Squares, triangles, and circles highlight the life of
any mathematics student at Millsaps. The x's of algebra,
the planes of geometry, the functions of trigonometry,
and the epsilons of calculus aid in showing each student
the intangible worth of mathematics.
Each mathematics course is planned to offer an ex-
perience in a sufficient variety of basic and liberal
subjects which constitute the foundation of that general
education which is regarded as essential to balanced
development and intelligent citizenship. Millsaps' cur-
riculum is intended to meet the needs of those who will
proceed to the usual academic degrees at the end of
four years, of those who will enter professional schools
after three or four years, of those who are preparing
for teaching or for scientific investigation, as well as the
needs of students who take less than a complete aca-
demic program.
The Mathematics Department, led by Professor Knox,
conducts the instruction of twenty-two mathematics
courses for students genuinely interested in the field.
These courses range from a foundations course on the
basic principles to seminar, a one hour session in which
each senior mathematics major discusses a new phase
or method in his field.
Besides teaching the methods and the importance of
mathematics, the courses are designed to teach students
that there is such a thing as mathematics as an art.
Rather than for the agony of memorization or the fear
of formulas, a student should study mathematics for the
sheer interest in comparing, analyzing, and visualizing.
Mathematics offers a means of expressing the re-
lations between numbers, possibly unknowns.

Biology Presents Principles
Underlying Life Phenomena
Our civilization is so completely permeated with science
that the word "scientific" has become the hallmark of progress,
the dominant theme of the age. No human endeavor is con-
sidered worthwhile unless it has a scientific foundation. Within
the realm of science biology permits travel in the domain of
living things. "Man probably was a biologist before he was
anything else."
Through lecture and lab work the Biology Department
accomplishes its purposes of presenting the basic principles
underlying life phenomena and correlating these principles
with human living, of giving students a panorama of the kinds
of plants and animals which have and which do now inhabit
the earth and the major features of their behavior, of present-
ing a generalized view of heredity and evolution, and of
helping students appreciate and identify with their living en-
vironments.
Months of intensive study, guided laboratory work and
research, complex demonstrations, and periodic testing give
Millsaps an excellent reputation, based on graduates, with
medical schools throughout the nation. The curriculum of the
Biology Department is designed to offer specific courses re-
quired for the curricula in other departments. Courses range
from the Fundamentals of Biology, a course designed for the
person not intending to major in a science, to Comparative
Anatomy, various taxonomy courses, Embryology, and Genetics.

Chemistry Department Stresses
Mastery Of Theory, Technique
"I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I
seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and divert-
ing myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier
shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered
before me." — Isaac Newton
The Chemistry Department stimulates the spirit of quest for knowledge
in those students taking any of its nineteen courses. In the strict science
majors it renews as well as creates a spirit of determination which serves
to drive that student toward higher levels of understanding. Somehow,
though, neither student nor professor is satisfied with that knowledge
acquired in the past.
The curriculum of the Chemistry Department under Professor Charles
E. Cain, Assistant Professor Roy Alfred Berry, and Assistant Professor
Clifton T. Mansfield includes both a general chemistry course to provide
a basic knowledge of the fundamental principles of modern chemistry
and application and advanced research courses.

Department Emphasizes
American Government
The general objective of the Department of Po-
litical Science under the direction of Associate
Professor Gordon G. Henderson and Mr. Neil
Folse is to acquaint students with the theory and
practice of government and politics. Primary at-
tention is focused upon the American political sys-
tem. Directing its effort to an intelligent under-
standing of the contemporary world and of
the responsibilities which are laid upon citizens
of a democracy, the Department of Political Science
shares the general objectives of a liberal arts edu-
cation. While the department does not emphasize
vocational education, the knowledge it seeks to
impart should be useful to anyone contemplating a
career in the government service, law, or politics.

Department Offers Courses
In Both Divisionsof Geology
Geology is the science of the earth itself. It is history written
in the rocks. By using the present as a key to the past, geology
helps to unlock the mysteries of the environment.
Geology is a relatively young science which had its beginning
in 1785. The field of geology has two major divisions: physical
geology, covering the nature and properties of the materials
which compose the earth, and historical geology, a record of
life on the earth and physical changes on the globe itself
from its beginning two billion years ago up to today.
Geology at Millsaps, under Professor Richard R. Priddy and
Mr. Wendell B. Johnson, is designed to offer the usual basic
courses in physical, historical, structural, and economic geology
and minerology. These courses are supplemented by studies in
stratigraphy and petroleum geology on the Gulf Coast. Any
student can enter physical geology where he will immediately
find himself amidst varied chunks of rocks, colored photographs
of soil samples, and tinted maps. Several field trips mark the
high spots for students in the geology sections as they discover
nature's own evidence of the geologist's record of life told
against the ever-changing physical environment of the earth.

Physics Provides Interpretation
Of Natural PhysicalPhenomena
Physics, a science that deals with matter and energy and their
interactions in the fields of mechanics, acoustics, optics, heat electricity,
magnetism, radiation, atomic structure, and nuclear phenomena, is
under the direction of Associate Professor William R. Hendee and
Associate Professor Charles B. Galloway.
Courses offered in the department are designed to provide a solid
foundation in all areas of physics for the student who intends to study
at the graduate level; to provide a firm physical interpretation of natural
phenomena for the student who intends to enter the field of medicine;
to provide a thorough explanation of basic physical principles and the
opportunity to specialize in a chosen area for the student who intends
to terminate his study upon graduation; and to provide an introduction
to both the theoretical and the experimental aspects of physics for
all interested students.
The courses offered include the basic courses and more advanced
ones, such as: Atomic Physics, Nuclear Physics, Biophysics, Thermo-
dynamics and Statistical Mechanics, and Radiological Physics. For senior
physics majors there is Seminar: student presentations of current
problems in physics research. It is designed to acquaint the student with
research literature.
A National Science Foundation grant has been received this year
by Dr. Hendee for a study involving the measurement of energies that
are utilized in biochemical reactions which form an integral part of
the life process.

Courses Augment
Communicative Art
The objective of the Speech Department
is to make known and to aid in correcting
the general of communicative powers in
the world today. Future leaders in church,
in state, and in industry need to develop
the art of communicating with others. This
opportunity is found in various courses:
Public Speaking, Interpretation of Drama,
Phonetics, Persuation, and Debate. These
courses are taught under the direction
and guidance of Mr. Lance Goss and Mr.
Edward Collins.
Debating has occupied an important
place on the Millsaps campus since the
year the college was founded. Each
year the Millsaps Invitational Debate Tour-
nament is held. It is recognized as one
of the outstanding events of its kind in
the South and one of which Millsaps is
proud. It offers students from as many as
fifteen states the opportunity of compar-
ing skills in the art of oratory. Millsaps,
realizing the value of speech in educa-
tion, has required this course for gradua-
tion in many departments. In this way
speech plays an important role in helping
Millsaps contribute to society ministers,
teachers, and others whose public ora-
tions will be a credit to the college, to the
community, and to the state.
Philosophy Teaches
Perceptive Outlook
Philosophy, a subject basic to our cul-
ture, is the pursuit of wisdom, the search
for truth through logical reasoning rather
than through factual observation, and an
analysis through the grounds of and the
concepts expressing fundamental beliefs.
Millsaps is one of the four Methodist
colleges requiring a minimum of six hours
of philosophy for a B.A. degree. One
hundred six colleges were surveyed by
the President's Bulletin Board in an effort
to determine what most Methodist Colleges
require in the department. The require-
ments ranged from two to six hours, with
most colleges listing three.
Millsaps offers twelve separate courses
in philosophy under the direction of Pro-
fessor Robert E. Bergmark and Mr. L.
Hughes Cox. These courses are designed to
help the student develop a critical attitude
toward life and an appreciative under-
standing of life. There is in this depart-
ment an introductory course which is de-
signed to introduce the student to the field
of philosophy, that he may learn how
comprehensive the field is and learn also
how philosophy is related to life as it is
lived from day to day. The courses offered
include Logic, History of Philosophy, Ethics,
Esthetics, Oriental Philosophy, Philosophy
of Science, and Metaphysics.

PhysicalEducation Incorporates
Healthful Exercise, Academics
Under the guidance of Coach Montgomery, Coach Davis, Coach
Ranager, and Miss Edge, the physical education department provides
leisure education, healthful exercise, and the development of recreational
sports skills which have continuous value for teaching or personal use
both in college and in the future.
In the physical education program each student can find something
in which he can excell. The activity courses, two of which are required
for graduation, include golf, bowling, tennis, and other common recrea-
tional sports.
In addition, various academic courses are furnished for teaching
preparation purposes. Physical education for the elementary grades
explores characteristics of elementary school children and activities
suited to their physical and mental levels. The theory of high school
coaching and a course in athletic officiating for men are offered to
future basketball coaches and those interested in football or basketball
officiating. Finally, personal health and care of the body are studied in
hygiene.

The Light of
Lif
The most fundamental of the
intrinsic qualities of this beam
is the life which actually is
Millsaps. The academic life, the
social life, and the extracurricu-
lar life are only small beams
which separately are momen-
tary glistenings but which to-
gether shine to form the Light
of Life.
Student Life
Estelle Noel, editor
With the help of her family freshman Virginia Ann Jones energetically starts off her college
career ot Millsaps. Little does she know she is on second floor of Founders Hall in a room
with no walls and, needless to say, no heat. It will be no wonder if she does not have that
smile a year from now.
Freshmen, Upperclassmen Adapt
To Dormitories, College Activities
The first few days in a new place are always the most thrilling, challenging,
and bewildering. Freshmen at Millsaps realized at once that they were entering
one of the most terrific phases of their lives.
Cars were unloaded, goodbyes were said, and the dorms filled with expectant
students. That first week seemed one weary and endless line, a series of insurmount-
able tasks to complete, meetings to attend, and people to meet and not to forget.
However, the anticipation of a new year and the promise of a new school
permeated the air. Conferences with faculty advisers and the Orientation program
were completely new but tiring experiences. Soon registration was completed, and
social life surged ahead. The freshmen were no longer newcomers to Millsaps,
but were instead the Class of '68.
After having been thoroughly welcomed, the new students were taken under the
wings of the Orientation Committee to be familiarized with the Millsaps Campus.
Tours, placement tests, and interviews with faculty advisers were the first activities
to be taken into consideration.
Orientation chairmen, Ruth Pickett and Paul Wilcox, greeted the Freshman
Class. The freshmen then found their respective Orientation leaders and donned
their name tags, which became a veritable part of their wardrobes. At the "Get
Acquainted" Dance old friendships were revived, and new ones were acquired. A
tentative air of happiness with only a trace of foreboding for the study to come
covered the campus.
For probably the first time in their lives these two freshmen are learning the art of moving
into a place of their own — a room which soon will become an intermingling of their own
respective personalities. The only problem confronting them will be that of taking care of
this strange new abode in Ezelle Hall.

M Club members derive a certain unexplained
pleasure in giving this newcomer his per-
sonalized freshman haircut — they do it free of
charge too.
Suzanne Riley donated some of her "loafing"
time this summer to come "spruce up" her
room. Not only did she paint the furniture,
but also the walls.
Orientation groups were headed by upper-classmen who told the freshmen
and transfer students about Millsaps and about the curriculum, honors,
and social organizations and who took them on a walking tour of the
campus.
Tests were given to freshmen to check their aptitudes and interests and
their proficiency in mathematics.
A variety show, mixer games, and a dance made up the program at the freshman "Get-Acquainted"
party held the first day school opened.
31
That long registration line, just to turn in cards, never seemed to move. In fact, it
even got longer as the minutes passed— friends just could not let friends go to the end
of the line. Finally though, students got through this line only to find that it was the
first of a series.
Registration Becomes
Harassing Experience
The confusion of moving on campus was
surpassed only by the chaos of registration.
The students packed their gear for their first
major encounter with "student versus pro-
fessor," more widely known as registration.
Everyone tried to "beat the system" by being
an hour early. But there was already a line
of those who had come two hours early. Stu-
dents had to fill out numerous cards which
required details ranging from the date of
grandmother's birth to whether or not parents
were broadminded. Lines to fill out cards were
followed by lines to sign up for courses, lines
to turn in schedules, and lines to pay tuition.
There were even lines to get into lines. Seniors
too were subject to the misery of wandering
sullenly around trying to get into an eleven
o'clock religion class.
Oh well, I guess that it will just have to be another
overdraft. Tuition went up again this year, and the
increase hit several pocketbooks quite hard.
After having signed up for their courses, students went to have their schedules and
hours checked by the Academic Dean and the Registrar.
As a freshman, each student is assigned a faculty advisor with whom he may consult
at any time concerning his academic problems.

Greeks Prepared for,
Rushees Feared Rush'
During the hectic week of orientation and regis-
tration Greeks prepared for Rush. All sorority and
fraternity housrs got a final dusting before the
formal receptions. High hopes and concerted ef-
forts to make favorable impressions charged the
atmosphere with excitement and tension.
There is nothing else at Millsaps like Rush. Where
else could be seen so many girls in Dog-patch
costumes, devil suits, and circus outfits! But what
the rushees never saw and the actives never for-
got were the midnight bid sessions, invitation dead-
lines, and skit practices.
In fraternities only the Rush Chairmen even
attempted the hopeless task of remembering the
names of all rushees. Rushees were overwhelmed
by the abundance of handshaking, which seemed
to demonstrate the "eternal bonds of brotherhood."
All this and more was a part of the word, rush:
that always-to-be-remembered week of work, heart-
break, and smiles of joy.
Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity entertained their rushees as
five actives teamed up to sing folk songs. This was one
of the smokers which occupied Rush week for the boys.
Daisy Mae (Susan Tenney) tells Lil Abner (Margaret Allen) that she does not
want to chase him in the Sadie Hawkins Day race. Instead, she would rather go
away to college and join a "sursity." Chi Omega Fraternity presented this skit
during fall Rush.
Pledges find themselves overwhelmed as they approach
"their" fraternity house. Being a pledge means many
things, but most important, entrance into a brotherhood.
Members of Kappa Delta Sorority are ecstatic as well as relieved, as they wel-
come the twenty-three girls who picked up their bids. These tears and smiles of
joy ended the hectic week of work and tension and began the wonderful ex-
perience found in pledgedom.

Once a month there is a supper at one of the sorority houses. This event gives the ac+ives and
pledges the added opportunity to be together as a group.
Fair, Parties Spice
Daily School Grind
Close on the heels of the opening of
school came the Mississippi State Fair and
the endless cycle of sorority and fraternity
parties.
Hellish lights advertising dare-devil rides,
side-shows of painted women calling to
farm boys, carnival goodies, and "take-a
-chance-win-a-teddy-bear" games depicted
the fair. Millsaps students immediately be-
came a part of "Fair Week."
After a week of light-hearted fun, ser-
ious students returned to the daily grind.
Still they thought of fun and welcomed the
dances, the sorority-fraternity mixers at
which the pledges met each other, and the
house suppers once a month at the sorority
houses.
This year the S.E.B. instigated dances in
the basement of the Student Union every
other Friday night. This provided a place
especially for the non-Greeks. From the
first, though, the Greeks too found a place
at the S.E.B. dances. In addition to these
parties, there was Greek Night, which end-
ed Rush week, the street dance in front
of Franklin, and Homecoming.
After the Homecoming game at Newell Field Millsaps students came back to the Student Union for
the dance at which the Viscounts played until one o'clock.

swap.
That's one ride that will really take your stomach.
But— grin and bear it, Marilyn, and go on to the
next one.
This is the Mississippi State Fair with her crowds of people, her daredevil rides,
her pronto pups and cotton candy, her sawdust side shows, and her win-a-teddy-
bear games.

Everyone meets in the grill: some students study, some talk, some enjoy a moment of leisure before
another class begins, and some get off their diets.
Grill Stays Most Popular Spot,
Though Often Conjestea^Noisy
The grill has become an institution dedicated to the betterment of
social life of Millsaps students. History may have been made in
Founders,- and students may have spent a minor part of their college
lives sTudying, watching T.V., and voting; but everything still centered
around the grill. Food and drink were only minor excuses for having
been there; actually it was in the grill that friendships were formed,
dates were planned, and campus-wide activities were formulated. The
coffee was certainly not the best in the world, and conditions often be-
came conjested and noisy. But the Millsaps grill had that perplexing
magnetic appeal that stayed hovering about its doors.

Campus Cheerleaders Revamp
Waning Millsaps Spirit, Pep
"Come on y'all yell! I simply can't hear y'all at all." Mill-
saps' eight cheerleaders completely revamped the lagging
spirit on campus this year. For the first time there were
spontaneous pep rallies, a successful bonfire, more people
at the games. Echoes of "Two Bits" and of "Majors Great"
rang in; the cafeteria the night of a game after the cheer-
leaders finished a rally. Even non-religious chapel programs
were sometimes climaxed by a series of cheers. Cheers them-
selves showed hard work and cooperation. Head cheerleader
Emily Compton and Floy Holloman, Rachel Davis, Genrose
Mullen, Graham Lewis, Lynn Rutledge, Connie Milonas, and
Penny Sanders faithfully cheered for the Majors at all home
games and at some of the out-of-town games. Cheering did
not end with football though. The cheerleaders were present
at most basketball games.
Majors great! We've got the spirit that a great {earn needs. It's gr-r-reatl

"Two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar . . ." Was it the cheer or

Alums Return to Millsaps
Participate in Homecoming
Alumni began returning to the campus Friday,
October 9 to participate in the annual homecoming
weekend program honoring graduates and former
students.
Sororities, fraternities, and non-Greeks made dis-
plays which lined the road around the Student
Union. A trophey awarded for originality and gen-
eral appearance was presented to the independent
students for their decoration.
Friday which was declared Freshman Day was
climaxed by a pep rally and bonfire and a street
dance in the parking lot of Franklin. All during the
day freshmen had worn costumes and had rung
the Millsaps bell. At the pep rally the "King and
Queen" of Freshman Day were announced.
On Saturday alumni took part in tours of the
campus after which they attended a variety show
and openhouses sponsored by the sororities and
fraternities. At the homecoming banquet Dr. Ross H.
Moore was named the Alumnus of the Year.
The day was climaxed by the Millsaps-Southwest-
ern game, during which Kathy Khayat was crowned
homecoming queen. Members of her court were
Rachel Davis, Laura McEachern, Mabel Mullins, and
Lynn Rutledge. After the game students attended a
dance in the Student Union.

The Mock Convention wos a hubbub of speeches, roll calls, demonstrations, eventual fatigue, and final
stalemate and adjournment.
Mock Convention Ends
In Mid-night Dead-lock
Hot debate rocketed the 1964 Mock Republican
Convention into high gear after 475 delegates
crowded into Buie Gymnasium for the conven-
tion's opening session.
Rubel Phillips, Mississippi's first significant GOP
candidate for governor in many years keynoted
the convention. He was introduced by Wirt Yerger,
chairman of the Mississippi Republican Party.
After his speech Rubel Phillips presided over the
election of the permanent chairman of the con-
vention.
The Republican candidates for the party no-
mination were Margaret Chase Smith, Barry Gold-
water, Henry Cabot Lodge, Richard M. Nixon,
Nelson A. Rockefeller, George Romney, and
William W. Scranton.
Tension and a tingling excitement filled the air
as the Mock Convention climaxed in a midnight
dead-lock between Goldwater and Lodge. After a
fifth ballot was held and still no candidate decided
upon, the convention was adjourned.
The familiar voice of Lillian Thornell, convention secretary,
presided over many a ballot and roll call.
Representative from New York, Charles Moore, nominates
his candidate for Republican nominee.
Dana Lee May and Celia Breland blow up balloons for the Nelson Rockefeller den
onstration.
The Mock convention was not all fun and politics. There were many backstage

Noisy, colorful demonstrations typified the convention. One
participating group was so noisy that it was censored.

"My Fair Lady" Comes
to Capture All Millsaps
Once again Broadway came to Millsaps— this
time in the fqrm of George Bernard Shaw's
"Pygmalion" in the musical version. "My Fair
Lady" is the story of a self-confident professor of
phonetics and his efforts to transform a Cockney
flower girl into a proper lady acceptable by all
society.
As Eliza Doolittle and Professor Henry Higgins,
Paula Page and Rex Stallings starred in this pro-
duction directed by Lance Goss. Mr. Goss has di-
rected such other smash hits as "Destry Rides
Again" and "Camino Real." The Millsaps play-
ers' version was one of the first amateur perfor-
mances of this play in the country.
Miss Page was a senior voice major from Grenada;
however, Eliza marked her stage debut. She was
a member of the Troubadours and served as
student conductor and soloist with the Concert
Choir.
Rex Stallings, a veteran actor from Jackson,
has worked on stage with the Players as well
as back stage, and he is serving as president of
Alpha Psi Omega.
One critic wrote of the stars in "My Fair Lady":
"Paula was wonderful, right down to her blood-
curdling eeeiiioww and her lovely 'I Could
Have Danced All Night.' I'll never be able to
say the name Rex Stallings again; I'm afraid
it will come out 'enry 'iggins instead. To this
inexperienced theatre-goer it appeared that in
most respects this was the best executed role in
the play."
John Hammock of the Clarion-Ledger said "when
one puts together the state's pioneering collegiate
producer of musical plays with Broadway's great-
est success of all time, the result is a foregone
conclusion— a HIT."
Many times rehearsals stretched far into the night as those actors and actresses strove
for perfection on such a great play as this was.
Mrs. Higgins could not believe that her son, Henry, had taken in a common flower girl
off the streets, much less that he was trying to make a lady of her (Jeanne Rostaing)

was a stage void of people and sets but covered with memories
of a wonderful play.

"Yes — As sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion. If I say sooth, I must report they were As cannons

Shakespearian tragedy filled the bill for the spring staight-
dramatic production. "The Tragedy of Macbeth," directed by
Lance Goss, opened May 6 for a four-night run.
Alumnus Vic Clark put together an abstract unit set com-
posed of a series of ramps, platforms, and steps. Costumes were
again supplied by Eaves of New York, and programs were
designed by Charles Dillingham of Gordon Marks and Company.
Macbeth was played by Maynard Hacker, a junior from
Biloxi. Pat Galloway played his ambitious Lady. Hacker appear-
ed in 'The Visit" as Anton Schill and in several high school
productions. Miss Galloway, a sophomore from Valparaiso,
Florida, won last year's best supporting actress award for her
performance as Catherine Holly in "Suddenly Last Summer."
Macduff was portrayed by George Morrison. David Ely made
his third appearance on the Millsaps stage as Malcolm. Bill
Orr, having been seen most recently as Colonel Pickering in
"My Fair Lady," played Banquo.
Gary Fox appeared as Duncan, Rex Stalling as Lennox, and
Ricky Fortenberry as Ross. Jennifer Stocker, Kay McDuffie, and
Janie Burt were seen as the Weird Sisters. Other members of

Cast members for "Molly Brown" waited enthusiastic-
ally, yet a little apprehensively, for the curtain to
rise for the first performance, while members of
the production staff worked backstage.
Gross Directs "Molly Brown"
Most "Fun" Play for Millsaps
"The Unsinkable Molly Brown," the most ambitious show that the Mill-
saps Players have ever presented, surpassed even "My Fair Lady" in
complexity of style and orchestration.
This play which depicted Molly Tobin's rise from a poor girl in a
miner's town to a Denver millionairess and of her efforts to break into
Denver society is full of intricate music and dialogue plus the gay light-
hearted air so characteristic of Meridith Wilson's works. Cast members
under the direction of Lance Goss worked hard and enthusiastically to
perfect the many difficult scenes,- but all agreed, especially the leads,
that "Molly Brown" was the most "fun" play with which they had
worked.
The show's twenty-three vivid sets, designed by alumnus Vic Clark,
varied from the Tobin shack in Hannibal, Missouri and the Browns' Paris
salon to a rocking lifeboat from the sinking Titanic.
Principal roles for "Molly- Brown" were held by veterans of the Mill-
saps stage. Beth Boswell who played Molly Tobin was described1 as "a
fine clown with a beautiful voice . . . who works very, very hard and
very, very well." John Wilkerson as Johnny Brown was called "about
as perfect a piece of casting ... as anyone findr< in non-professional
theatre."
Directed by Richard Alderson, a member of the music faculty, the
twenty-one piece orchestra was composed largely of members of the
Jackson Symphony Orchestra. Albia Kavan and Rex Cooper of The
Dance Academy took charge of choreography.
Having been created by Charles Dillingham of Gordon Marks Agency,
the antiqued programs were faithful imitations of The Jackson Daily News
for Monday, April 15, 1912. Headlines proclaimed in bold type the
sinking of the Titanic and the heroism of Mrs. J. J. Brown. The programs
also included pictures of the giant liner and of the small rescue boats.
The cast, synopsis of scenes, and other production information appeared
as stories in the paper.
"Sure glad to make your acquaintance. Boy, do you spout a helluva sermonl You scared the pants

Troubadours Embark
on Tour of Europe
Decidedly travel-worn, fourteen Millsaps
students and one faculty member emerged
from a Delta DC-6 onto Jackson's Thompson
field last July 12 to be greeted with a bar-
rage of kisses and handshakes.
The fifteen were the Troubadours who had
just completed a two-month tour centered in
Germany and France. Sponsored by the
USO, the tour included some fifty to sixty
performances before Army personnel at
scattered European military installations.
After deplanning, the travellers proceeded
to pick up worse-for-wear suitcases full of
wash-and-wear clothes, by this time more
worn than washed. The setting recalled the
rousing send-off given the group Sunday Morn-
ing, May 17, after an enthusiastically re-
ceived home show the night before.
In the intervening two months the fifteen
students travelled thousands of miles through
new lands offering countless sights, opportun-
ities, and demands.
On the final week of the trip each stu-
dent was free to go, at his own expense,
wherever he chose. Destinations included
Munich, Berlin, Salzburg, Zurich, London, and
points between.
The Troubadours performed mainly light
vocal and dance numbers, working primarily
with folk music and show tunes.
Audiences received the group favorably,
often enthusiastically, and comments mailed
to USO were highly complimentary.
(Writeup taken from September 12, 1964
Purple & White).
To receive their briefing before leaving for Europe, the Troubadours meet at the USO Headquarters
in New York City.

The trip provided an opportunity for several of the Troubadours to re-
new old friendships.
Airports and planes soon became to be thought of as necessary evils.
The Troubadours took out time from their shows to see Europe and found her just
as charminq and picturesque as they had dreamed.

Who's Who
in American Colleges
and Universities
This year seventeen Millsaps students were elected for mem-
bership in "Who's Who among Students in American Colleges
and Universities." These students were selected by the faculty
and administration on the basis of leadership and participation
in academic and extra-curricular activities, scholarship, and
citizenship.
"Who's Who" was originated in 1934 by Mr. H. P. Randall
as a directory of outstanding students in universities and col-
leges throughout the United States. Selection to "Who's Who"
has a double distinction,- for, in addition to serving as a mark
of outstanding achievement on the college campus, the an-
nual volume serves as a go-between for future employees
and graduating services.

The brightest ray here at Mill-
saps is that of the Light of Beau-
ty, for this campus is certainly
dominated by that certain indef-

all the grace, poise, and loveli-
ness that is found in Millsaps
beauties.

Revue Employs Song
As Program's Theme
Having as its theme "A Pretty Girl Is Like a
Melody," the 1964 Bobashela Beauty Review
set the stage for the selection of beauties.
In addition to the beauties, emcee Freddy
Davis introduced Master Major and Miss Mill-
saps, the favorities, and members of Who's
Who in American Colleges and Universities.
The twenty beauties were presented be-
fore sets from "The Unsinkable Molly Brown"
as Johnny Morrow sang the theme song,
which was followed by Genrose Mullen's rend-
ering of "I Feel Pretty." Kay McDuffie and
Ford Williams, as well as The Majority, pro-
vided entertainment during the judging of
beauties. Carole Chase served as accompanist
for the program.
Pondering faces, assured (?) convictions, deliberative questions were all a part
of the expressions of the five judges for the Seauty Review: Mrs. Trenton Shelton,
Joseph, Mrs. Wayne Terry Lamar, Mr. Mayes B. Hunter, Mr. Dewey Edwards, all of
Jackson.
Highlighted on the dark stage by only a moving spot-
light, Miss Mary Todd Porter of Hazlehurst was presented
to the audience as one of the top ten beauties.

Announcement of number one beauty brings tears of joy to Susan Duquette who is surrounded by the
other top beauties: Carolyn Tabb, Kathy Hymers, Jean Nicholson.

Contribution
All those who strive to make Mill-
saps "a Christian college in an
ivy atmosphere" are included in
the glow of the Light of Con-
tribution. Leaders, followers, ad-
visers—all work on the ceaseless
activities which help sustain life
and excitement on this campus.
Because the work of these indivi-
duals involves Christian purposes
and ideals, their unselfish con-
tributions of both time and en-
ergy reap rewards for those who
participate and for the student
body.
Activities

Representatives to the Student Senate listen as the secretary reads the minutes of the previous
meeting and asks for any correclions or additions.
Student Legislature Serves
to Solve Student Problems
The Student Senate, Millsaps' official student legislative
body, represents as nearly as possible, a fair cross-section
of the entire student body. Its weekly meetings serve as sound-
boards for student problems and furnish a medium for the
solutions of such situations. Activities for the Student Senate
this year have included such things as: new financial by-laws,
consideration of a system of unlimited cuts, organization of
Union parties every other Friday night, and service improve-
ment in the grill and the cafeteria. Four standing committees
co-ordinate Union affairs, social activities, special entertain-
ment, and parking regulations.

Bobashela Staff Preserves
Highlights, Memories of Year
Unglamorously enough, one may find Bobashela staff mem-
bers combing through bountiful editions of past college year-
books or trying to crop a horizontal picture which just has to
be a vertical or beating the pavement trying to sell even a
twelfth of a page of advertising, but most probably begging
the SEB for money with which to get out of debt.
The Bobashela was created word by word, picture by pic-
ture, deadline after deadline under the watchful eye of a
watercolor bullfighter. It emerged as a book of lasting col-
lege memories— the life of Millsaps College, 1964-65.
Not only in charge of capturing the memorable moments of
a fleeting year, the Bobashela staff sponsored the annual
Beauty Review, one of the highlights of the school year.
"Bobashela" is actually the Indian word for "good friend."

Campus Paper Aids
As Journalism Lab
Flash bulbs popping, typewriter keys
clacking, dummy sheets being proofread,
and papers being pasted up— this was the
scene each week just before another edi-
tion of the P&W came out. Those endless
trips to Keith press and back, lost sleep,
and ulcers— all seemed useless until: "Boy,
the P&W gets better every issue!" The en-
tire staff was constantly on the go.
Each week editors assigned stories and
prodded until the copy was in. It took
hard work, and work the P&W staff did.
The Purple and White, the campus news-
paper, is designed to supply students
with a weekly record of college events
and to provide an airing ground for
current campus views on pertinent topics
of college life. Participation on the cam-
pus newspaper is on a voluntary basis,
and the P&W serves as a laboratory for
gaining valuable experience in journa-
lism.

Students Compile Stylus,
Anthology of Literature
Millsaps College students have come to
recognize the stylus as a priceless anthology
of the literary works of campus short-story
writers, poets, playwrights, and essayists.
There are two opportunities a year to be-
come acquainted with this outstanding maga-
zine. At a moderate price, the Stylus provides
a wonderful chance for Millsaps students to
enjoy an inspiring potpourri of literature and
to offer congratulations to the authors who
have contributed to this anthology.
Major Facts Serves
As Guide for Pupils
Major Facts is the pocket-sized "guide to
living" on the Millsaps campus. This little
book, which is edited by Millsaps students,
is a miniature encyclopedia of traditions,
general information, and rules and regula-
tions ranging from academic requirements to
the type of clothing which may or may not
be worn on the campus. The editor of
Major Facts is under the supervision of the
Dean of Students and is appointed by the
president of the student body.

New Group, The Troubadours, Entertain Locally, Abroad
The Troubadours are the newest vocal group here at Millsaps
and were formed a year ago. They were an instant hit, and
anyone who has heard them can understand why. The members
of the group are talented and attractive, and their perform-
ances are unusually refreshing.
Last year Mr. Leland Byler, director of this group, sent a
tape to the National Music Council which sponsors USO tours
to Europe. They liked the music, and the Troubadours were
invited to tour France and Germany for two months last sum-
mer as part of the USO program. They were offered a Far
East tour this fall but had to refuse because they could not
get out of school for two months.
The clever staging for the Troubadours is done by senior
Lynn Krutz. The biggest job for Mr. Byler is finding music
to use which is "desirable and catchy."

Millsaps Singers Perform
Varied Repertoire of Songs
The Millsaps Singers is one of the most popular
extra-curricular organizations on campus. It has
represented Millsaps, not only throughout the state,
but also the nation.
The choir, directed by Mr. Leland Byler, sings
music of all types, ranging from classical and re-
ligious music to popular medleys.
In addition to their campus performances, such
as the presentation of a Thanksgiving program,
Handel's "Messiah," and the annual "Feast of
Carols," the choir toured Mississippi and parts of
Tennessee.
Last year for the first time, a small group chosen
from the concert choir known as the Troubadours
toured Europe for almost two months with the USO.
It was a great honor to be chosen as a member
of this group. Millsaps feels great pride in the ac-
complishments of the Concert Choir and the leader-
ship of Mr. Byler.
Jim Gabbert waits and watches for his cue from Mr. Bylet
during a daily practice of the Concert Choir.

Choral Group Presents
Programs in Jackson

choral group, has a reputation for fine
quality, and each year this reputation
grows. The Madrigals is composed of
twenty voices and includes in its repertoire
songs ranging from Renaissance to con-
temporary, secular to spiritual.
Like the Concert Choir, the Madrigals
present many programs for organizations
here in Jackson and in the surrounding
area, as well as here on campus. Director

Choral Group Sings
for Weekly Chapel
The Chapel Choir is a choral group
on campus which is open to all students
without audition. This group annually
joins the combined musical organizations
in presenting oratorios such as "The Mes-
siah" by Handel, "The Passion Accord-
ing to St. Matthew" by Bach, "The Seven
Last Words" by Dubois, and other larger
choral works.
In addition to providing special music
for the regular chapel services, the choir
also presents programs both on the cam-
pus and in the Jackson area. The choir
is under the direction of Mr. Joseph
Rowlings. Membership earns two semes-
ter hours of extra-curricular credit for
the year's work.
Members of the Chapel Choir rehearse secular
music for a program in town.
Five hours of rehearsal time each week make this choir an outstanding one on campus.
Mr. Joseph Rowlings directs the Chapel Choir.

Players Create Productions
with Professional Qualities
When the last curtain falls and the play is over, the
actors and the director are showered with compliments.
But many times the backstage workers are forgotten, even
though they are an integral part of the production.
The Millsaps Players is made up of a large group of
people interested both in acting and in backstage work.
The Players includes members of committees working on
lighting, sets, publicity, makeup, costumes, and, props and
the actors and actresses themselves. They produced under
the direction of Lance Goss an outstanding variety of
plays this year: "My Fair Lady," 'The Tragedy of Macbeth,"
and 'The Unsinkable Molly Brown." Though an amateur
group, the Players work with a professionalism that brings
them acclaim from both audiences and critics.

Council Regulates
Religious Activity
The planning and co-ordinat-
ing of any interdenominational
religious activity on campus is
the responsibility of the Christian
Council. The Council membership
is comprised of the presidents of
the campus religious groups and
one elected representative from
each group. The Council sponsors
Holy Communion services (con-
ducted in Fitzhugh Chapel by
some clerical member of the fa-
culty) on Wednesday mornings
and on days preceding various
holidays; each year it sponsors a

Chi Omegas Share Fame,
Love, Warmth, Sisterhood
Chi Omega is many things. It is parties galore: the
SEB Formal, Rush parties, pledge swaps, a houseparty
on the coast, and the Owl Man Party. It is scholarship
with a trophy to prove it. It is a crackling fire, music on
the stereo, songs filling the air, the sound of laughter.
It is stringing popcorn for a Christmas tree, soap suds
in a fountain, or an owl sanctuary. But much more
than this, it is a girl with high ideals, sharing an en-
dearing sisterhood and qualities of sincerity and warmth.
The Chi Omega Fraternity was founded on April
5, 1895, at the University of Arkansas. The colors of
Chi Omega are cardinal and straw, and the flower
is the white carnation. The Chi Delta chapter appear-
ed on the Millsaps campus March 31, 1934.
The spirit of Chi Omega is found in every phase of
campus life. Chi Delta boasts the editor of the Bo-
bashela; president of Panhellenic; cheerleaders; mem-
bers of the Concert Choir, Troubadours, and Millsaps
Players; the vice-president of WSGA; a Homecoming
maid; four of the top five beauties; a favorite, and
president of YWCA.
I just knew that if I were rush chairman we wouldn't get anybody at all. But this
is just so wonderful!

Kappa Delta Boasts
Number One Beauty
For fifty years now Kappa Delta has
been a way of life at Millsaps. And what
kind of a life is it? Well, first of all it's
a busy one. Between visits to the Cere-
bral Palsy School and dessert parties at
the house, KD's manage to be involved
in every sort of campus activity imagin-
able. KD's sing in the Concert Choir,- they
bloody their hands on the volleyball
court,- they become very exercised about
the Cold War at meetings of the Inter-
national Relations Club; they parade
around in long black robes on Tap Day;
they pound typewriters for the Purple
and White. So far there hasn't been a
KD on the football team, but there's al-
ways next year.
This year Kappa Delta is especially
proud to have among its members Miss
Millsaps, the top Bobashela beauty, nine
Seniors named to Who's Who among
Students in American Colleges and Uni-
versities, the Pi Kappa Alpha Dream
Girl, the Homecoming Queen, the editor
of the Purple and White, and two cam-
pus favorites.
But no matter how busy a Kappa Del-
ta may be, she never forgets the ideals
of honor and sisterhood which her dia-
mond pin symbolizes. On her lips there's
a smile, in her heart there is the promise
of a song. She is a Kappa Delta.

Phi Mu Displays Song Fest Trophy
Phi Mu came to Millsaps 51 years ago, as Epsilon Chapter became the first
sorority on campus. And that was the beginning of a tradition for Phi Mu.
Contagious enthusiasm is characteristic of a Phi Mu whether she is washing
punch cups during open house or playing intramural volleyball. Her versatility
encompasses every phase of student life, in which Phi Mu holds a very important
part. Her activities range from Philomatheans to fashion shows, from pledge
swaps to weekly meetings, from the Enchantress Ball to projects for the Little
Red Schoolhouse, from studying to listening to a sister's problems.
She wears her pride on her sleeve when she shows you the Chi Omega Song-
fast Trophy, introduces you to her Big Sister, guides you through her new sorority
ledge, or displays her shiny, new badge just after Initiation. She dreams of Phi
Mu Castles and Enchantress Carnations.
She proudly claims as sisters the WSGA president, Student Body secretary,
three beauties, two favorites, a cheerleader, Junior class vice-president, and
the assistant editors of both Stylus and the Purple and White. Still other Phi
Mu's are members and officers of Eta Sigma Phi, the Majorette Club, Eta Sigma,
the International Relations Club, Kappa Delta Epsilon, Alpha Psi Omega, Theta
Nu Sigma, Chi Delta. The Concert Choir, the Troubadours, the Chapel Choir,
the Madrigals, and the Players all boast Phi Mu participants, as well as do the
Bobashela, Purple and White, Stylus, intramurals, Wesley, DSF, BSU, and YWCA

ZTA Participates
in Campus Life
A peal of laughter, a cheerful song,
a desire to help others, a willingness
to work, a silver crown, a sister close
by— these are all a part of the Delta
Phi chapter of Zeta. Wearing the tur-
quiose blue and steel gray of her fra-
ternity, the Zeta may be serious and
sentimental. Gathered around the
piano during a coke party at the
house, however, her mood might be
one of gaity and laughter.
Founded at Longwood College,
Farmville, Virginia, 1898, Zeta Tau
Alpha has grown to be amoung the
ten largest sororities in the National
Panhellenic Conference. The 124 chap-
ters of ZTA are all linked together
with the common purpose— "to intensify
friendship, foster a spirit of love, create
such sentiments, perform such deeds,
and mold such opinions as will con-
duce to building up a purer and nobler
womanhood in the world."
Zetas con be found all around cam-
pus—serving in honoraries such as Chi
Delta, Alpha Psi Omega, Eta Sigma
Phi, Majorette Club, Pi Delta Phi, Schil-
ler Gesellschaft, Social Science Forum,
Theta Nu Sigma; singing in the Madri-
gals and Chapel Choir; writing for
the Purple and White and Bobashela;
acting with the Millsaps Players; edit-
ing the Stylus; and participating in
other campus activities.
Take the laughter and seriousness,
the ideas and ideals, put them to-
gether and you have that indefinable
quality of a Zeta.

University, on December 21, 1865. General Robert E. Lee,
exemplifying the highest traits of manliness, became the
Spiritual Founder of Kappa Alpha Order. The Order was
founded locally in 1892.
The men of KA are found in all phases of campus activity.
in additions to positions selected by the student body, mem-
bers of Kappa Alpha can be found as the chairman of the
orientation program, as the business manager of the Purple
and White, as staff members of the Bobashela, as members
of the Concert Choir, as Millsaps Players, and as Troubadors.
Kappa Alpha is represented on the football, basketball,
golf, and baseball teams: thus KA contributes many mem-
bers to the "M" Club. Both the scholarship trophy and the
intramural trophy were won by Kappa Alpha last year.
KA's can also be found as members of Omicron Delta
Kappa, Alpha Epsilon Delta, Theta Nu Sigma, Eta Sigma,
and the Social Science Forum.
The members of Kappa Alpha celebrate all things relative
to the antebellum South. They sponsor an annual orphan party,-
and the Black and White, a formal dance, is held before
Christmas holidays each year.
"Wheat, barley, alfalfa. Give 'em Hell, Kappa Alpha. Wheat, barley, hay. Give 'em Hell, KA" The
KA's gather in the parking lot before going to seranade the girls.

Kappa Sigma Fraternity Wins
Coveted Scholarship Trophy
This is the same song that we sang for the sorority that was here
before y'all were. We just changed the words.
In 1895 ten millsaps men— some serious, others carefree-
decided that they had two basic things in common: they all
loved women, and each man respected the other nine men.
Because of these basic interests, the grcup decided to become
officially associated. To achieve this association they founded
the Kappa Sigma Chapter at Millsaps. This association has
been passed down for sixty-nine years to other deserving men
at Millsaps. Now there are forty-six Millsaps Kappa Sigmas who
love women and respect each other.
It is obvious that the campus also respects Kappa Sigma's.
Among its members are the presidents of the Freshman, Sopho-
more, and Junior classes and the vice-president of the student
body, in addition to four of the five male campus favorites and
the president of the "M" Club. Campus honoraries which claim
Kappa Sigmas as members are Omicron Delta Kappa, Alpha
Epsilon Delta, and Theta Nu Sigma. A substantial amount of the
"M" Club members also wear the star and cresent. Incidentally,
Kappa Sigma also won the scholarship trophy during the spring
semester of 1964.

Lambda Chi Alphas Represent
Potpourri of Ideas, Activities
"Gcd knoocooowwwws!" rips a splitting, discordant chorus
from fifty well-oiled throats. It's the Lambda Chi's again, on
the march, and armed to the teeth with sawed-off water
pistols, multichannel amplifiers, secret translations of Hegel,
Impala convertibles, and registered hands bearing pledges
in open black catafalques, bearing the tortures of com-
parative anatomy and classical mechanics and physical
education, and baring hairy or not-so-hairy chests too im-
pressed young things— venerators of the scared moose, lord
protectors of the much-sought-after purple bathtub, curators
of the subtlest esoterica, denouncers of organization, yet
defenders of unity— here they are exposed to the outside
world. So you say "I'm afraid I don't understand; what is
a Lambda Chi?" And you are told to ask them, for they
alone can tell you. But where shall you find them? Ah!
Seek them out in reclusive abodes decked in tapestries or
bambo; find them in rooms of gold or black or olive drab,
sipping rare teas to the accompaniment of Palestrina and
Shostakovitch and Bobby Bland; pull them from sensual
apartment orgies,- rip them from their pizzas in the corner
booths of exquisite restaurants; pursue them in the dark re-
cesses of "ice plants/' or, if all else fails, distract them
from their eternal game of bumper pool and set to them
your question. Reply: "God knows, I don't know. What you
asking me for?"
Listen, fellas, I know everybody who gets dropped has to be thrown in the purple tub; I'm not corr
plaining. It's just that I'm not dropped. It was all a big joke. Please . . .

PiKasLead Campus Life;
Boast Millsaps SEB Prexy
"He rambled 'til he got the colors on ... " The colors
are garnet and gold; the fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha. The
Pikes were founded at the University of Virginia in 1868,
and Alpha lota was chartered in 1903. The Pike Dream
Girl is pinned at the Cotton Ball each spring.
Besides copping the 1964 Chi Omega Song Fest trophy,
Pikes led the campus in other fields. Titles displayed at the
Pike House are these: president of SEB; president of the
Senior Class,- Master Major; president of the Millsaps Play-
ers,- and members of Who's Who in American Colleges and
Universities. Alpha lota is a potpourri, as is evidenced by
its membership in these organizations: Purple and White
and Bobashela staffs, Alpha Epsilon Delta, Alpha Psi Omega,
International Relations Club, Eta Sigma Phi, Social Science
Forum, Concert Choir, Troubadours, Madrigals, band, and
the golf and track teams.
Fikes, the weejun sandal set, presently hold the South-
ern Surfboard Championship and the National Booby Prize
for sportcars. What a group!

Team Epitomizes
Sportsmanship
Football at a small liberal arts
college that does not emphasize
athletics may be for the purpose
of making the participants hardy.
More likely it is to make the
students happy. Football does
help build strong resistance to
many things. At Millsaps the boys
learn that it's not the score that
matters, but instead how the
game is played. The Majors have
long been known and commend-
ed on their good sportsmanship.
The record of the Millsaps var-
sity football team was this year
compariable to those of past
years. Statistics did indicate,
however, that by the end of the
season the Majors had increased
both their skill and their spirit
tremendously. For this the team
is to be commended.

Manager Nick Rebold helps Wayne Ferrell
The first year is the most trying year for any coach —
he has to earn the respect of his boys. Coach Davis
has earned this respect.
The 1964 football club improved throughout the season
and came close to winning on several occasions. After drop-
ping the first two games 44-6 and 54-7, it looked as if Mill-
saps were headed toward the establishment of several rec-
ords—those which aren't needed. Then the defense began to
perk up, but the Major offense could not get started, going
three staright contests without lighting the score board.
"Our main problem was not knowing who to put where.
We shook up eveyone after our second game, and it actually
took us four games to settle into a definite pattern. We really
feel that our boys have come a long way since those first
games," remarked Coach Harper Davis, (from Major Sports
Notes)
The few minutes before the game starts are the most tense.
Coach Davis sizes up the opponents' defense with Phil Cranston and Edwin

Rumors often develop after a losing
year, but Millsaps is not the only school
to go through a season without a vic-
tory. Mississippi College did it only a
few years back. And, contrary to popular
belief by some who do not really know
what they are talking about, Millsaps has
not always had extreme losing records,
as, only two years ago, the team won
often and drew crowds of over 3,000
twice. "We're just at a low ebb in our
football program this year. Other schools
have been down before and have always
come back. So will Millsaps." (from Ma-
jor Sports Notes.)

Millsaps Cagers Realize
Rough Schedule Stifling
A rough schedule and a team which could boast
of no returning starters and only two lettermen were
problems that faced Coach James Montgomery at the
start of basketball season.
Because of the fact that so many members of this
year's team were playing under Coach Montgomery
for the first time, much time was devoted to ex-
plaining his philosophy of defense and offense.
Since the Majors played 17 games in Jackson,
there were many opportunities for basketball fans
at Millsaps to see their team in action. Highlights of
the season included the Belhaven Tournament, the
Delta State game in the Coliseum, the Mississippi
Holiday Tournament at Forest Hill, and the Univer-
sity of Mexico game at Millsaps. Since the varsity
club at the University cf Mexico formed the core for
Mexico's Olympic team, this game was eagerly
awaited by the Majors. The fact that they beat this
team boasted spirits immensely.

team was led by several performers who had
considerable experience. Even though there
were not many who went out, there was a
new enthusiasm last year at Millsaps for the
spring sport.

The golf team under the supervision of Miss Mary Ann Edge
had a mediocre season this year. The Majors were victorious
over the Delta State linksmen in a dual meet to climax the sea-
son, while finishing fourth in the Mississippi Intercollegiate
matches at Cleveland.
The inclusion of golf at Millsaps allows those not interested
in team sports to participate in varsity athletics. The team has
done well in the past years, as is evidenced by former Mill-
saps golfer Mary Mills, who won the 1963 Women's National
Open Tournament.
The Independents won the girls' volleyball championship. Members of the team are (first row) Carol
Lowry, Louise Perkins, Sandy Kees, Pat McGeehee. (sec'ond row) Judy Moore, Chris Hershfelt, Judy Simino,
Barbara Walls, Barbara Whyte, and Delores Kirkfield.

Women's IntramuralsAdd
Variety to Millsaps Sports
One of the means of forgetting troubles and
relieving tensions for Millsaps co-eds is to parti-
cipate in intramural sports. Miss Mary Ann Edge
is in charge of coordinating all games among
the independent women and each of the Greek
organizations.
Trophies are awarded in the team sports of
volleyball, basketball, and Softball, while indivi-
dual awards are made in tennis, badminton, and
golf.
The Women's Intraumural Trophy is awarded
to the group with the most total points at the end
of every school year. Points are awarded on the
basis of participation and, of course, winning
teams. This past spring the trophy was won by
the Independents.

[ 162 ]
John Gillis with a look of satisfaction got his man at home p'ate. His man might have been safe; but
from the looks of things, John got him anyway.
Mens Intramurals Draw
Keen Competition, Thrills
The men's intramural sports program at Millsaps under
the direction of Coach James Montgomery adds to the
development of a more well-rounded college community,
especially one in which varsity sports are not emphasiz-
ed.
Sports offered in this program include volleyball, bas-
ketball, Softball, tennis, and golf. This great variety
makes it possible for most students to find at least one
area in which he excells.
All four fraternities and the Independents participate
in the activities, and competition is especially keen, many
times even more so than at games between schools.
In 1964 the Kappa Alphas won the Intramural
Sports Trophy, and in the middle of the 1965 campaign
were threatening to retain possession of the trophy.
John Grayson took his turn as batter in this Kappa Sigma Softball
game.
