MELVIN AT MILLSAPS
Once upon a time there was a high school senior who (for purposes of publication) we shall designate as Melvin
Wood.
And Melvin had always determined that when the time came he would certainly go to Millsaps because his father had
gone to Millsaps and his brother had gone to Millsaps and the times that they had had only be weakly described as
good;
They were more than good; they were swell;
And Melvin had determined that the same were in store for little Mel.
So he put away his thoughts of high school and pondered about the fun he was going to have and come out to Mil-
lsaps and looked at all the beauties of the campus— of one sort and another— that surround us
And then he saw Foundus.
Now Founders Hall had been seen by Melvin before when he and his father and his brother came to Jackson for the
inaugration of one of Millsaps' presidents.
But not as potential residents.
No, he had merely viewed it as a building on the campus that maybe had been in style once.
Now, however, he viewed it as a building where his sleeping and laughing and talking and telephoning would take
place for the next number of monce.
Momentarily Melvin was cast into gloom,
And then he reflected that after all what was a room
And after all what fun was a dormitory that was as well furnished as a house;
Was he man or mouse.
And Melvin said, "Father, I have thought it all over, and I have concluded that if Founders is part of Millsaps, I love
Founders because I subscribe to the school of My Country right or wrong, but if wrong, still my country."
And his tolerant father thought it all over too and decided this was not effrontery
So he said, "Very well, Melvin, we'll go talk it over with U.Z."
Which they did, with the result of loss of money to Mr. Wood, and loss of prestige to Freshman Wood, because he
stopped being a senior automatically.
Since there are a number of pictures for you to look at and see some of the things Melvin saw, we will take leave of
our Freshman feeling few of the sensations experienced by Ferdinand when he contemplated flowers.
For by this time Melvin is established in Founders, feeling anything but peaceful when he tries to solve the eternal
and sphinx-like problem of the Founder's showers.
asm
CLASSY, WHAT?
Well, where did we leave Melvin? Oh, yes, he went to Millsaps and then he went to classes and then he went crazy
Because he was right off that if you worked real hard on Freshman Lit. and wrote your weekly impressions you
couldn't get up all of your trig too and then Van hook thought you were lazy.
So then if you tried to get up English Monday and then on Wednesday get up trig, (which is planned economy, the
Russians inform us)
The English assignment on Monday would be trivial and on Wednesday it would be enormous.
Anyway, he was not alone in these troubles involving education
As he realized after a little meditation.
So Melvin said, "I will bestir myself and meet my class-mates—
"My A-making mates and my fail-mates and my pass-mates—
"Eds, and coeds, for misery loves company,
"and I might as well know a bunch of people to whom I can be grumpy if I care to grumpany."
So Melvin bestirred himself. He went to the grill and he never took a girl, he just stood there, and smiled aloofly and
ate candy,
Which led coeds to reflect that at dances he would be handy.
In the future they were nice to Melvin, and that made him happy, which all Millsaps students should be, according to
our president, M.L.S.*
Which is a noble sentiment, we must confess.
Melvin learned that there is a vicious circle which is said to be the last word in educational (vicious) circles,
Which works this way: you make all B's because you go to class regularly and so you are on the Dean's list and not
required to go to class and this is a great honor. So lest no one realize that you have this great honor you cut a few
classes and then you cut a few more and then you take an exam and you don't have the B average and then you go
to class next semester and get back your B average and so it goes until you feel that life is just a series of ups and
downs and wails and gurgles.
He was handy in bull sessions too because he read READERS DIGEST and TIME and LIFE
And had an excellent memory which could always produce a gorier murder concerning knives whenever someone in
the state was murdered with a knife
He developed the nonchalance of a dean's-list-student-cutting-for-the-thirteenth-time which he employed in walking
out of class fifteen minutes early or coming in fifteen minutes tardy.
And he was not particular pious, but on the other hand, he wasn't nardy.
So he was popular among the students whose pictures are represented on the following pages, with borders hemmin'
in.
Probably because there is no one of them who did not have at least one of the Attributes attributed to Melvin. except
that according to the Millsaps college bulletin, March 1939, 165 of the attributes may be considered as applying to
the feminine.

OUT TO THE BALL GAME*
Hurrah for the professors, hurrah for U. Z. too,
And if you are a Choctaw,— then you know the rest of the chant we chant when we are enchanted by a half-back or
quarter-back breaking through.
But most especially, on this occasion, hurrah for U. Z., surnamed Hathorn upon whom we sometimes vent our wrath
and teases when we want a good sport to tease or vent or wrathorn.
U. Z., however, is worthy of merit.
Because his is one of the major sponsors of the major school spirit. I make this remark because you all know that he's
sorta funny about money.
But we really shouldn't criticize when we stop to think about it because among other monies that he takes is $15 for
student activity,
Which solves a number of problems throughout the year, the main one being that we need never miss a campus ball-
game, even if the bread-line is in dangerous proclivity.
For out of the $15 comes our tickets to all of the football games and basketball and just ball games in general,
And we need never stop to reflect that we are traitors to the purple and white just because we spent our last fifty cents
for animal vegetable or mineral.
No stiff backbone do we need, no budget, no question of endurance
At least, where campus ball-games are concerned, because U. Z., the nice man, has taken over and gives us the Stu-
dent Activity Fee as insurance.
Therefore we go to the football games and basketball games et al And U.Z. is our pal.
Because it is through him that we have seen in action and color the people and passes that live again in the following
pages in black and white;
It is through him that we are able to share the thrills of the various games whether they be played in the afternoon or
at night.
It is he that sees that the uniforms are brought and lights are lighted and balls are put up safely after the game and
likewise visiting teams So it seems
That we are not amiss in proclaiming this to be A hurrah for U.Z.**
•Bail games were activities that were popular many years ago.
"The nickname of a student in 1939 who was responsible for these "ball games.'
THE GREEKS HAD A WORD FOR MELVIN
And the word, dear friends, was rushee,
Which, being translated, means the person a freshman is for a few precious days when upperclass boys and girls are
supper-swell to under-class boys and girls and often in the latter case, mushee.
Melvin, being a nice kid, and knowing how to take girls for granted and respect senior men
Got along fine during those days (except on the occasion when he politely smoked black cigars to the number often).
Of course he was interested when informed that of one of the groups Columbus was the patron saint,
And somewhat confused when a rival group informed him that he would probably hear that Columbus is an alumnus
of the first group but to bear in mind that he ain't.
Then the first group when questioned by Melvin brought out documents to prove it,
And he made up his mind to pledge and when his mind was all settled the other bunch made up its collective mind to
move it.
So they took Melvin into a small back room and introduced him to a couple of other fellows
And they talked and talked and talked, saying that after all who was Columbus— America had been discovered by the
Vikings already, and that the Columbuses of the world were helpless unless diamonds were sold by the Isabellows.
They said now you take Arnold McFee, that was a man for you.
He founded our noble fraternity and if you will wear this little piece of plaid around your arm tomorrow, symbolizing
that you are pledged to the clan of McFee, we will simply adore you.
Then at last they let him go home and he sneaked in and didn't turn on the lights because he was afraid that he would
wake up the kid brother of a chapter president who had already told everybody that he was going to carry on the
family tradition and make his mark.
So rather than hear any more Melvin went to bed in the dark
And of all the luck he got in the wrong bed
And woke up the kid brother of the chapter president, so he didn't get to go to sleep because along about dawn he
had to go Alpha Beta Gamma instead.
THE KEY TO SUCCESS
Melvin had not been at Millsaps long before he found that there were two kinds of students;
The good ones and the not-so-gudents.
And he discovered further that the good ones generally made not only good grades.
But likewise most of the honoraries, and whenever there were parades, they led the parades.
And he sat and reasoned thus: "How can it be
"That all of these people who make good grades meet lab all afternoons and then on Monday nights they go to glee
club and help with the P&W and on Wednesday nights they go alternately go to French and IRC Tuesday— premed
club and on Thursday nights the boys go to frat meetings and the girls have a town-boy date
"And on Friday night the preachers meet, and so it goes, and yet they generally look pretty good and as if they hadn't
sat up particularly late.
"It might not be so bad if they only had to go to the meetings because maybe they could sit on the back rows and read
a book,
"But they can't because look . . .
"The campus big-shots get elected to offices in these things
"and they have to get up programs and ask people to speak and decide what to eat at banquets
"and if its a sorority, see a man to mow the house yard and see another man when the first manquits.
"And therefore I don't see how under the sun
"They get it all done."
"I will tell you." responded an upperclassman who was an ODK. and this is what he respondit:
"The more you belong to the less you have to do, and the way it works is this, as I have found it:
"Let us say that you are expected to be on the IRC program, help make up the P&W, ask a doctor to speak at the pre-
med club, report on the Christmas party plans for Alpha Beta Gamma, and Represent Millsaps at a Rotary meet-
ing and you Decide you have therefore too much to do.
"Very well. There are two courses to follow. You can come down with a fall or spring or regular (as the time of the
year may be) case of flu,
"Or you can say, 'I'm sorry Ross, I can't be on the program; I have too much to do;
"I am sorry Tom, I can't help with the P&W, and if you want any heads written, You'd better get someone else to
writtum;
"I am sorry, Junior or Earl, I can't call the doctor; I have to much to do." and so on ad infinitum.
"And they all realize that you are supposed to do all these other things and all say with the wisdom of of two
Minervas,
"You are right, and I will get somebody else to do it," and thus you are spared a breakdown modified by nervous.
"So then you can cram for a test if you have to or do whatever you choose,
"and what have you to lose!"
"You are right," said Melvin, "You are absolutely right."
And he went out and joined a club that night.
And the next night he joined another and he wrote for the paper (one newsstory every other week)
And one day he tried out for a play and got a walk on part with three words to speak;
The play took a little time because twice he had to go and practice and say, "Dinner is served."
But from his purpose he never served.
And he worked and worked and worked, apparently, and finally his reward came and he was made very happy and
his frat brothers even happier
Because on tap day he was the only freshman in the long and honorable history of Millsaps to be tapped into Omi-
cron Delta Kappier.
So here he is a big shot right off the bat— a big shot to start with
Which is a pretty good time,
I guess to part with
Melvin, the pride of Millsaps and Alpha Beta Gamma.

The Millsaps population would never lend it-
self to a single caricature; its characteristic
molds are many rather than one. No one is just
a typical "Millsaps student"— He is, rather, a
Sullivan-Harrell inhabitant, a player, a pseudo-
intellectual, a bridge fiend, or a grill hound. He
may be one, he may be several, but somewhere
he "belongs." The identity groups are numer-
ous, interchangable, temporary and most
uniquely equal. Strangely enough, no one
group has yet become the "right" one and suc-
cess remains an individual instead of a stereo-
typed goal.

HONORARIE
The Purple and While is the official student newspaper of the College, and
its staff is composed of individuals interested in campus journalism. The P&W
endeavors to provide coverage of all Millsaps events, as well as to serve as a
forum for discussion and exploration of ideas.
Now in its sixty-sixth year, the Bobashela is the annual student publication
of Millsaps College, attempting to give a comprehensive view of campus life.
"Bobashela" is an Indian name for good friend.
Through Stylus, the College literary magazine, students interested in cre-
ative writing are given an opportunity to see their work in print. The publica-
tion comes out twice each year and contains the best poetry, short stories, and
essays submitted by Millsaps students.
Open by audition to all students, the Singers represent Millsaps in public
performances, campus programs, annual tours throughout the state, and to
other areas of our United States. In recent years the choir has traveled to Colo-
rado; to Washington, D.C.; to Atlanta, to record for the National Protestant
Hour; and to Mexico. The choir has sung with the Memphis Symphony Or-
chestra three times, the Jackson Symphony, the Chicago Chamber Orchestra,
and the New Orleans Philharmonic. In 1969 Dave Brubeck appeared with the
choir for performances both here and in Atlanta for the Southeast Choral
Conductors Convention. Last year the choir performed with the Jackson Sym-
phony Orchestra in the regular concert season. Membership earns two semes-
ter hours of extracurricular credit for the year's work.

officers elected by the student body. The president, vice-president, secretary,
and treasurer are elected annually from the student body. Members of the
Student Senate are chosen by the groups which they represent.
Meetings of the Student Senate are held weekly, with other meetings called
when the student body president considers them necessary. All members of
the student body automatically become members of the Student Association.
The duties and functions of the Student Senate are to act in the administra-
tion of Student affairs, to cooperate with the administration in the orientation
program of the college, to apportion the student activities fee, to maintain un-
derstanding between students and faculty, and to work for the benefit of the

Alpha Epsilon Delta is an honorary pre-medical fraternity, founded at the Honor
University of Alabama in 1926. Its purpose is to promote the interests of pre- Societies

ality are the qualities by which students are judged for membership. Alpha
Epsilon Delta strives to bridge the gap between pre-medical and medical

bers of the Millsaps Players for the effective participation in acting, directing,

study of chemistry. The organization promotes the interest of chemistry stu-
dents by sponsoring numerous visiting lecturers, and by providing assistance
to the Chemistry Department when needed.
in
The athletic policy of Millsaps College is based on the premise that athletics
exist for the benefit of the students and not primarily to enhance the prestige
and publicity of the college.
It is believed that competitive sports, conducted in an atmosphere of good
sportsmanship and fair play, can make a significant contribution, in the same
w,ay as other student activities, to the complete physical, emotional, moral, and
mental development of the well-rounded individual and that they are thus an
integral part of a program of liberal education. Toward this end, an attempt is
made to provide a sports-for-all program and to encourage as many students
as possible to participate in some form of intramural or intercollegiate athletic
competition.
The program for men includes football, basketball, baseball, tennis, golf,
archery, and track. There is no intercollegiate program for women.
The program is conducted on guidelines established by the National Colle-
giate Athletic Association of which Millsaps College is a member.
Those who participate in intercollegiate athletics are required to observe
and maintain the same academic standards as other students.
In scheduling games, preference is given to colleges that conduct an athletic
program on a basis similar to that at Millsaps.
The program for men provides competition among campus organizations in
basketball, volleyball, softball, tennis, track, soccer, and golf. Rules are made
and administered by the Intramural Council, composed of student representa-
tives with the Intramural Director as an ex-officio member.
The program for women is administered by The Women's Intramural
Council, whose student members head the teams that compete in such sports
as badminton, volleyball, tennis, basketball, and softball. Election to the Ma-
jorette Club provides recognition for athletic participation.
The gymnasium provides a large playing floor for volleyball, badminton,
and basketball. It has dressing rooms for all teams, a room for visiting teams,
trainer's room complete with equipment for injuries, a class room, and shower
and locker rooms for students.

STUDENT LIFE
People . . . people . . . people— blondes, bru-
nettes, titians— we have them all. But what
makes them individuals is their many traits
ranging from demandingly quiet seriousness to
contagious boisterousness. Each has a distinct
personality, but each is a vital part of Millsaps'
student body.

<G',
It's an MP&L fact...
Mississippi Power Light actively supported ways to
protect our environment long before the word "Ecol-
ogy" became common.
Since the company was formed in 1923, efforts to-
ward keeping generating plants, cooling lakes, local
offices, vehicles, equipment, and rights-of-way clean
have been emphasized by MP & L operations. MP &
L backed the formation of and continues to support
the "Keep Mississippi Beautiful" program. Through
the years, MP&L has been an award winner in its
work and cooperation with statewide programs to
improve our environment.
Not willing to rest on past performances, MP&L is
increasing its efforts to help maintain an environment
which promotes beauty, growth, and development.
It's an MP&L fact . . . from MP&L you get more
than electricity.
