"Orwell  envisioned  a  world  of  spiritless 
souls  manipulated  by  fear  and  condemned 
to  a  technologically  sensuous  wasteland. 
There  was  immediacy  without  transcen- 
dence, existance  without  vital  historical 
memory,  and  neither  persona!  nor  social  al- 
ternatives to  futility.  Through  the  liberal 
arts  one  is  equipped  to  remember  the  fu- 
ture, to  anticipate  the  past,  and  to  see  the 
present  as  the  time  when  spirit  is  summoned 
into  flesh  for  its  role  in  the  divine  comedy.  In 
this  regard,  the  liberal  arts  are  the  answer  to 
1984. 

—Dr.  T.W.  Lewis  111 

professor  of  religion 

class  of  1953 


"I  think  Millsaps  has  the  potential  to  teach  us  a  lot  about  our  real 
selves  .  .  .  The  fact  that  it  is  a  relatively  small  school  makes  the  atmo- 
sphere one  in  which  it  is  easy  to  get  to  know  many  people.  Such  a  setting 
contributes  to  the  feeling  of  individuality,  certainly  but  at  the  same  time  a 
certain  completeness. 


One  who  has  not  undergone  what  is  loosely  called  the  "Mill- 
saps  experience"  probably  cannot  understand  this  sense  that  I'll 
call  diversified  unity,  but  we  know  that  feeling  .  .  .  "—Lisa  Hap- 
good 

class  of  1985

"What  we  are  about  at  Millsaps  is 
the  study  of  human  existence  on  this 
earth.  Will  our  graduates  make  the  de- 
cisions required  to  become  better, 


more  humane,  more  affirming  of  life  in 
all  its  highest  manifestations  or  will 
they  simply  harden  themselves,  reject 
life  and  liberty  for  others  (and  ultimate- 
ly themselves),  and  seek  to  control  and 
manipulate  the  world?  The  latter  may 
seem  safer.  Orwell's  prophecies  may 
thus  come  true,  but  if  so,  it  will  be 
because  of  our  own  subversion  of  all 
that  we  have  talked  about  for  these 
two  hundred  years.  A  liberal  arts  edu- 
cation is  one  designed  to  prevent  this 
kind  of  Orwellian  world  from  occur- 
ring. 


11

"In  considering  the  relevence  of  a 
liberal  arts  education  in  1984,  and  the 
future,  I  find  that  liberal  arts  should  be 
a  vital  part  of  the  educational  process, 
and  that  Millsaps  should  continue  to  be 
a  leader  in  this  area.  With  specializa- 
tion usually  comes  less  emphasis  on 
the  cultural  heritage  of  modern  soci- 
ety. However,  1  have  always  been 
proud  that  1  attended  a  college  which 
had  the  foresight,  and  the  fortitude,  to 
prepare  me  for  life  practically,  cultural- 
ly, and  socially.  In  this  respect,  I  think 
that  Millsaps  College  deserves  much 
respect  and  praise  from  all  its  students. 
As  alumni,  we  should  expect  and  sup- 
port no  less  an  effort  in  the  future,  so 
that  the  "Renaissance  man"  will  never 
cease  to  exist." 

-Jayson  T.  Garrett 
Class  of  1984

"How  does  our  society  of  1984  compare  to  Orwell's?  Ours  is  a 
global  community,  still  vibrant  with  the  diversity  of  mankind  and 
hopeful  as  experienced  through  the  eyes  of  our  youth.  What  we 
could  create  in  the  future  is  a  very  mediocre,  unproductive,  and 
inhumane  society,  if  those  institutions  which  have  traditionally 
served  to  elevate  the  human  spirit  betray  their  trust.  A  liberal  arts 
education  is  one  instrument  by  which  we  can  assure  the  contin- 
ued expression  of  man's  humanity,  goodness,  talents,  and  God- 
given  gifts.  —Dr.  Jeanne  Middleton  Forsythe

The  Symposium  is  a  great  opportunity  for  student 
involvement.  The  student  involvement  includes: 
choosing  the  topic;  planning  and  organizing  by  the 
committee;  paying  for  the  Symposium;  and  actual 
implementation  of  the  Symposium.  Work  on  the

The  two  days  of  featured  events  in  Millsaps  Homecoming  1983  were  highlighted  Saturday  at  half-time  during  the  Majors  vs. 
Maryville  game  as  Maud  de  Les  Gober  was  crowned  homecoming  queen.  Although  some  outdoor  activities  were  interrupted  by 
rain  on  Saturday,  alumni,  administration,  faculty,  parents  and  students  were  still  able  to  enjoy  sorority  and  fraternity  displays 
and  several  different  booths  that  sold  balloons,  Majors  hats,  tee  shirts,  pop  corn,  and  soft  drinks.  Special  attractions  over  the 
homecoming  weekend  were  an  art  exhibit  that  featured  work  by  alumni  and  faculty  in  such  areas  as  photography, 
woodworking,  needlework,  oils  and  watercolors.  Also  featured  were  performances  by  "Jean  and  Kelly"  and  the  Troubadours. 
"The  Great  Debate:  Part  II,"  which  featured  Gen.  Louis  Wilson  and  Professor  Howard  Bavender  debating  current  issues,  was 
held  Saturday  morning.

"Go  Greek!"  read  the  buttons  worn  by 
fraternity  and  sorority  members  March  20- 
25.  Greek  Week  gave  members  a  chance  to 
join  together  in  activities  to  promote  Greek 
life.  Activities  included  a  discussion  of  the 
pros  and  cons  of  the  Greek  system,  an  ice 
cream  social,  a  blood  drive,  a  balloon  sale  to 
raise  money  for  Multiple  Sclerosis  Society, 
and  ended  with  a  band  and  picnic  in  the 
bowl  where  David  Coffee  and  Mary  Vassar 
Ballard  were  named  Greek  God  and  God-

1983-84 


The  Millsaps  Arts  and  Lecture  Series  is  dedicated  to  expanding  cultural  enrichment  opportunities  in  Mississippi  by 
providing  dynamic  encounters  with  the  most  celebrated  and  acclaimed  talents  of  our  day.  This  year's  performances  were 
certainly  no  exception,  including  Peter  Beard  with  his  lecture  film  presentation  entitled  The  End  of  the  Game,  The  Peking 
Opera,  Carmina  Burana  performed  by  the  Millsaps  Singers,  Leslie  Mitchell,  a  frequent  lecturer  to  the  British  Studies  at  Ox- 
ford Program,  Mr.  Jack  Daniels  Silver  Cornet  Band,  The  National  Theater  of  the  Deaf,  and  the  Millsaps  Players  in  four  pro- 
ductions.

The  first  production  of  the  1983-84  year  by  the  Millsaps  Players 
was  Tennessee  William's  "Camino  Real".  It  ran  from  October  12-

hours  of  rehearsals,  the  Saturday  afternoon  paint  parties,  Darin's 
incredible  set  design,  Walt's  carpentry  skills,  Brent's  cheesecake,

Student  Body  Association 


From  producing  many  open  campus  wide  parties  to  purchasing  a  badly  needed  typewriter  for  the  Bobashela 
office,  the  Student  Body  Association  has  had  an  active  year.  Both  senators  and  officers  have  worked  hard  to 
maintain  open  communication  lines  between  students  and  college  administrators.  Besides  providing  social  events 
for  students,  the  SBA  has  made  several  procedural  improvements  which  help  the  student  government  operate 
more  efficiently.  Serving  on  the  SBA  is  best  summed  up  by  one  student  senator  as  "  .  .  .  participating,  becoming 
involved  with  and  meeting  the  student's  needs."

Millsaps 


An  institution  of  the  United  Methodist  Church 


>^ 


The  New  York  Times  Selective  Guide  to  Colleges,  1982-83  edition,  is  just  that  —  a 

selective  guide.  Of  the  more  than  3,000  public  and  private  colleges  and  universities 

in  the  United  States,   the  Guide   has  selected   "265   of  the  best  and  most 

interesting  four-year  institutions  in  the  country  —  the  ones  students  in  a 

buyer's  market  should  know  about."  The  Guide's  report  cites  the  capable 

faculty   and   strong  curriculum   in   the   liberal   arts,   sciences,   and  pre- 

j,-i>^j^       professional  programs  as  keys  in  establishing  Millsaps  as  the  "best 

'■^^♦^".v."'        school  in  Mississippi"  and  one  in  which  "by  national  standards  the 

education  is  a  bargain."  Also  noted  as  factors  which  make  Millsaps 

choice   for   serious   students   are   the   College's   strong  athletic 

program,    attractive   and   comfortable   campus,    and   enjoyable 

^aP^        student  life  style. 


Cited  for  its  "sterling  academic  reputation,"  "attractive  campus,"  and  "good 

moral  atmosphere,"  Millsaps  was  saluted  by  Good  Housekeeping  as  one  of 

the  South's  most  outstanding  colleges.  Along  with  nine  other  institutions, 

public  and  private,  Millsaps  was  recognized  for  its  pre-med,  pre-law,  and 

cooperative  programs  and  its   reputation  as  a  feeding  school  for 

^,v;,,;->,         graduate  institutions.  The  article  reflected  the  opinions  of  southern

Illustrated  highlighted  the  refreshing  discoveries  veteran  sportscaster  Tom 

Brookshier  made  while  covering  the  Millsaps  -  West  Georgia  game  in 

Jackson.  Noting  that  at  Division  III  colleges  athletes  are  students  first, 

and  mindful  that  more  than  3%  of  Millsaps'  student  enrollment  of 

1 ,205  is  on  the  football  team,  Brookshier  commented,  "This  is  the  way 

college  football  was  meant  to  be  played."  These  games  "caught  the 

spirit  of  American  football,"  the  article  said. 


Recognized  as  one  of  "today's  bargains"  in  higher  education,  Millsaps  was 

'■.3*?'-^'<?**  selected  by  Changing  Times  for  its  list  of  "50  colleges  that  offer  high

and  graduate,  and  a  good  proportion  of  the  students  pursue 

graduate  study.  Millsaps'  1982  Rhodes  Scholar  Brad  Chism  was 

featured  in  the  article's  lead  photograph. 


The  1983  edition  of  Peterson's  Guides,  The  Competitive  Colleges,  in- 
cludes Millsaps  among  the  296  undergraduate  institutions  with  the 
most  competitive  admissions  situation  in  America  today.

Millsaps  is  listed  with  227  other  colleges  in  Barron's  Guide,  The  Most  Prestigious  Colleges,  all 
chosen  because  of  their  "rigorous  selectivity  and  the  resulting  high  calibre  of  students  chosen."

From  the  Mississippi  backwoods  to  the  growing  capital  city  of  Jack- 
son, accolades  accrue  for  tiny  Millsaps  College,  by  popular  acclaim  the 
best  school  in  Mississippi.  As  far  as  small  liberal-arts  colleges  go,  Millsaps 
is  hardly  a  competitor  to  those  above  the  Mason-Dixon  Line;  but  its  under- 
graduates say  the  education  they  receive  is  of  good  quality,  well-rounded  — 
and  fun. 

Getting  A's  at  Millsaps  Is  difficult,  but  students  report  that  if  your 
ambitlons  are  somewhat  less  lofty  you  can  probably  realize  them  without 
grinding.  The  faculty  rates  highly  in  accessibility  and  overall  ability,  and 
small  classes  ensure  "an  unavoidable  encounter  with  teachers."  Although 
the  pace  is  relaxed,  there  are  few  gut  courses  and  the  atmosphere  remains 
"fundamentally  Intellectual."  Tuition  may  be  the  highest  of  any  college  In 
Mississippi,  but  by  national  standards  the  education  is  a  bargain. 

Millsaps  has  a  rigorous  core  curriculum  with  requirements  in  English, 
history,  math,  religion,  and  science.  An  easy  way  to  fit  all  these  demands 
Into  one's  schedule  is  through  the  popular  Heritage  program,  an  interdisci- 
plinary approach  to  the  cultural  heritage  of  the  West  that  fulfills  more  than 
half  the  core  requirements.  Heritage  meets  for  four  lectures,  two  discus- 
sion seminars,  and  one  lab  a  week,  and,  with  its  companion  English  writing 
course,  accounts  for  two-thirds  of  a  freshman's  workload.  Despite  this 
heavy  commitment,  more  than  half  of  the  entering  class  each  year  enrolls. 
Juniors  who  enjoyed  the  Heritage  experience  often  opt  for  the  honors  pro- 
gram, which  covers  a  broad  interdisciplinary  topic  and  requires  a  major 
thesis  in  the  senior  year. 

The  premed  and  prelaw  curriculums  at  Millsaps  are  highly  regarded 
—  both  by  students  and  by  graduate  schools.  Three-quarters  of  medical- 
school  hopefuls  and  virtually  all  would-be  lawyers  have  been  accepted  at 
graduate  programs  In  the  last  decade.  New  to  the  college  in  1979,  the  man- 
agement school  offers  bachelor's  degrees  In  accounting,  administration,  fi- 


nance, and  economics,  and  students  can  begin  working  on  an  MBA  during 
their  senior  year.  Other  good  programs  include  the  fine  arts,  music  (an  ex- 
cellent faculty  and  strong  preprofessional  training),  and  mathematics.  All 
majors  require  students  to  pass  a  comprehensive  examination  in  their 
chosen  field  before  graduation. 

Students  may  take  the  Oak  Ridge  Science  Semester,"  a  semester  at  Ox- 
ford, London,  or  Aix-en-Provence,  or  gain  academic  credit  for  internships 
In  business  and  health,  or  research  in  marine  sciences  at  the  Gulf  Coast  Re- 
search Laboratory.  Cooperative  programs  with  Vanderbilt,  Columbia, 
Georgia  Tech,  and  others  lead  to  degrees  in  engineering  and  medical  tech- 
nology. 

Here  and  there  a  student  from  Illinois,  Ohio,  or  Arizona  infiltrates  Mill- 
saps, but  by  and  large  the  one-fifth  who  are  non-Mississippians  are  from 
adjacent  states.  Millsaps  was  the  first  college  in  the  state  to  adopt  volun- 
tarily a  policy  of  open  admissions  for  minority  students  and  has  developed 
a  special  premedlcal  program  for  the  disadvantaged.  The  number  of  black 
students,  however,  is  still  only  about  5  percent. 

High-caliber  football  and  tennis  attract  a  fair  number  of  jocks,  but  ath- 
letics are  secondary  to  learning  at  Millsaps.  "Our  football  team  can  go  un- 
defeated, and  the  players  walk  off  the  field  worrying  about  tests  on  Mon- 
day," observes  one  undergraduate.  While  Millsaps  is  a  Methodist-spon- 
sored institution,  only  a  quarter  of  the  students  have  any  affiliation  with 
this  church.  Most  profess  a  conservatli/e  life-style,  but  not  all.  Says  one 
premed,  "We  do  have  a  political  activist  because  we  see  him  picketing 
each  time  tuition  Is  Increased." 

Millsaps  has  an  need-blind  admissions  policy  and  is  able  to  meet  "95  to 
100  percent  of  the  demonstrated  financial  need  of  all  enrolling  students."  It 
also  offers  as  many  as  125  merit  scholarships  yearly,  worth  a  total  of  more 
than  $200,000. 

More  than  three-quarters  of  the  students  live  in  comfortable  alr-condl- 
tloned  campus  accommodations,  and  only  juniors  and  seniors  may  seek 
other  housing.  The  freshmen  have  their  own  single-sex  dorms  and  strict 
visitation  regulations.  Upperclassmen  choose  among  two  women's  dorms 
(one  with  a  kitchen),  a  men's  dorm,  or  four  fraternity  houses.  There  is  no 
sorority  housing,  though  a  third  of  the  women  as  well  as  men  are  Greek-af- 
filiated. Students  buy  either  a  twenty-one-  or  fourteen-meal  plan  with  tick- 
ets redeemable  in  either  the  cafeteria  or  the  grill. 

Students  rarely  leave  the  area  on  weekends.  If  there  are  any  big  events 
In  the  state,  chances  are  they  will  take  place  in  Jackson,  which  is  a  fact  stu- 
dents appreciate  about  their  location.  Ten  miles  to  the  north  is  a  huge 
reservoir,  popular  for  weekend  water  sports.  Fraternities  and  sororities, 
while  an  exclusive  group,  don't  dominate  campus  activities.  Each  of  the 
eight  organizations  must  throw  one  open  party  a  year,  and  most  provide 
more.  Any  latent  animosity  between  independents  and  Greeks  Is  resolved 
on  the  intramural  playing  fields  each  week.  The  whole  campus  also  organ- 
izes the  yearly  Elizabethan  Faire.  Beer  (and  other  alcohol)  is  banned  on 
campus  but  is  the  staple  at  fraternity  parties,  which  are  exempt  from  the 
trustees'  regulations. 

Some  of  the  smartest  students  in  Mississippi  attend  Millsaps.  although 
as  one  student  notes,  "True  intellectuals  tend  to  leave  the  state"  —  as  do 
Millsaps  graduates.  One  chemistry  major  sums  her  experience  up:  "Wher- 
ever I  go  In  the  state  of  Mississippi  if  I  tell  people  I  am  attending  Mlllsapo, 
they  raise  an  eyebrow  and  say,  'That's  a  good  school.'  And  I  quite  agree."

Eudora  Welty  Honored 
On  Her  75th  Birthday 


By  FAYS. 

SpacUItoThtNe 

JACKSON,  Miss.,  April  14  —  With 
rtiypipagiw  and  sighs,  with  flowers 
and  peacock  feathers,  old  friends  and 
new  worshipers  alilte  gathered  in  this 
quiet  Southern  caplud  Friday  to  cele- 
brmte  the  75th  birthday  of  Eudora 
Welty.  Miss  Welty,  a  gentle  and  gra- 
dous  Misslssippian,  accepted  it  all  — 
analyses  of  her  work  by  European 
and  American  scholars,  parties,  re- 
ceptions, interviews — with  serenity. 

She  is  considered  a  great  American 
writer  and  one  of  the  most  eminent 
Southern  writers  living.  This  much  of 
her  craft  is  known:  She  listens  and 
watdMS,  and  through  her  blue  eyes 
even  the  small  things  take  on  mean- 
ing. 

And  by  all  accounts,  she  is  also  ex- 
traordinarUynice. 

When  a  man  delivered  the  fifth 
birthday  bouquet  to  her  pleasantly 
cluttered  living  room  Friday  morn- 
ing, Miss  Welty  gave  a  slight  gasp. 
"Have  you  ever  seen  the  likel"  she 
exclaimed,  examining  the  irises  and 
yellow  camaticRis  as  if  they  were  the 
tint  she  had  ever  beheld. 

Known  tor  Her  Sbort  Stories 

The  ?rtnner  of  numerous  awards, 
including  the  1973  Pulitzer  Prize  for 
fiction.  Miss  Welty,  who  has  been 
translated  Into  languages  across  the 
world,  has  made  her  literary  repuu- 
tioo  primarily  through  shori  stories. 
Her  latest  book,  "One  Writer's  Begin- 
nings," ranks  No.  6  on  The  New  York 
Tinaes  best-seller  list  for  nonfiction 
and  has  given  Its  publisher.  Harvard 
University  Press,  the  first  best  seller 
of  its  71-year  history. 

Yet  It  was  not  Just  the  writer,  but 
the  person  who  scholars  and  friends 
affectionately  came  to  honor  at  par- 
ties and  at  a  three-day  symposium  at 
Millsaps  College,  here  in  this  green 
and  flowering  city. 

And  even  those  who  did  not  attend 
I  full  of  praise. 

*I  won't  be  extreme,  but  she's  the 
most  charming  and  intelligent 
woman  in  the  worid,"  Robert  Penn 
Warren  declared  in  a  telephone  inter- 
view. "A  splendid  and  talented 
writer." 

"People  love  Eudora,"  explained 
her  friend  Charlotte  Capers,  "be- 
cause Eudora  loves  them.' 

Her  short  hair  falling  in  soft  white 
waves,  her  sUn  folded  Into  wrinkles 
here  aiid  there.  Miss  Welty  promised 


JOYCE 

nYorkTliBn 

an  audience  Friday  that  "I'll  go  on 
writing."  No  one  stirred;  no  one  ex- 
pected otherwise.  The  words  were  as 
predictable  as  the  mockingbird's 
song  in  spring. 

Recalling  the  Eariy  Years 

"One  Writer's  Beginnings"  recalls 
the  scenes  and  moods  of  her  early 
years.  This  passage  Illustrates  both 
the  observant,  secure  child  and  the 
full-grown  writer  in  her : 

"When  I  was  young  enough  to  still 
spend  a  long  time  buttoning  my  shoes 
in  the  morning,  I'd  listen  tovrard  the 
hall:  Daddy  upstairs  was  shaving  in 
the  bathroom  and  Mother  downstairs 
was  frying  the  baccm.  They  would 
begin  whistling  back  and  forth  to  each 
other  up  and  down  the  stairwell.  My 
father  would  whistie  his  phrase,  my 
mother  would  try  to  whistie,  then 
hum  hers  back.  It  was  their  duet.  I 
drew  my  buttonhook  in  and  out  and 
listened  to  It  —  I  knew  it  was  'The 
Merry  Widow.'  The  difference  was, 
their  song  almost  floated  with  laugh- 
ter: how  different  from  the  record, 
which  growled  from  the  beginning,  as 
if  the  Victrola  were  only  slowly  being 
wound  up.  They  k«>t  It  running  be- 
tween them,  up  and  down  the  stairs 
where  I  was  now  just  about  ready  to 
run  clattering  down  and  show  them 
my  shoes." 

By  reading  aloud  Miss  Welty's 
words,  often  just  as  spare  and  whole 
as  those,  speakers  at  the  Southern 
Literary  Festival  symposium  evoked 
moans  of  pleasure  on  the  second  floor 
of  the  Academic  Complex. 

Southerners  love  to  tell  stories,  and 
as  a  child,  Miss  Weltv  would  plant 
herself  between  two  adults  and  com- 
mand, "Now  talk."  Cardl  S.  Manning 
of  Mary  Washington  College  recalled 
Miss  Welty  saying,  "And  then  my 

ears  would  Just  open  like  morning 

glories." 
"Oooofa,"  the  audience  sighed. 

•I've  Loved  tbe  Oouide  WorM' 

Like  a  minimalist  William  Faulk- 
ner, Miss  Welty  writes  about  familiar 
people  and  emotions.  She  is  Southern 
in  her  use  of  settings  and  idiom  and 
dialogue  but,  according  to  the  histo- 
rian C.  Vann  Woodward,  she  does  not 
bring  the  burden  of  the  South's  his- 
tory —  slavery,  war,  defeat,  occupa- 
tion —  into  her  work.

archetypes,  in  human  situations.  She 
acknowledges  that  it  takes  a  creative 
reader  to  see  between  the  lines  and 
answer  her  vibratlcms  at  tbe  same 
pitch. 

"I've  always  been  aware  and  ob- 
servant of  the  outside  world,"  she 
said  in  an  interview  in  the  comfort- 
able, two-story  home  where  she  has 
lived  since  high  school.  "I've  always 
loved  the  outside  world,  things  any- 
body can  see  with  open  eyes  and 
ears," 

"Mississippi  is  a  wonderful  place," 
she  continued,  swatting  at  a  gnat. 
"There's  lots  of  variety;  not  as  much 
as  it  used  to  be,  because  now  it's  more 
like  everywhere,  at  least  the  cities, 
Jackson.  But  it's  the  only  city.  The 
older  places  and  quiet  places  don't 
seem  to  have  changed  that  much. ' ' 

•It's  tbe  Imagination' 

In  discussing  one  of  her  stories, 
however,  she  described  tiie  ingredi- 
ent that  transforms  her  Misslssiroi 
into  literature  read  around  the  world. 

"What  went  Into  the  writing  is  uni- 
versal. It's  the  imagination,  which  is 
like  a  great  sea,"  she  said.  Creating  a 
story  Is  like  creating  a  bouquet,  she 
suggested,  like  picking  one  flower 
from  here  and  another  from  there 
until  they  all  form  one  harmonious 
array. 

Miss  Welty's  work  is  marked  by  a 
sense  of  place,  of  family  and  com- 
munity, as  well  as  a  comic  sense  of 
irony.  All  of  those  elements  were 
present  at  the  soiree  given  in  her 


honor  Friday  evening  at  the  white- 
columned  mansion  of  Mrs.  Warren 
Reimers,  a  patron  of  the  arts  in  Jack- 
son. ^     . 

It  was  a  tteautiful  night,  tiie  air 
warm  and  carrying  the  soft  scent  of 
the  Soutii  in  springtime.  Standing 
amid  the  azaleas  in  pink  and  wtiite 
bloom  upon  the  lawn,  guests  could 
squint  through  the  new  leaves  of  the 
oak  trees  to  find  a  full  moon.  The 
magnolia  reached  hi^r  than  the 
balconies  of  the  two-story  house. 

Within  the  spacious  and  formal 
rooms,  servants  poured  champagne 
and  white  wine  and  set  out  the  buffet 
of  tiny  sandwiches,  strawberries  and 
cream,  and  platters  of  cakes. 

In  the  midst  of  this  elegance,  Jane 
Reid-Petty,  a  longtime  friend  of  Miss 
Welty,  confided  that  the  author  and 
her  friends  were  looking  forward  to 
going  to  a  favorite  resuurant,  Bill's 
Burger  House,  for  a  more  intimate 
celebration  tmught.  "He  doesn't  have 
a  liquor  Ucense,  but  he  always  brin^ 
out  a  bottle  of  whisky  from  tlie  back 
for  Eudora,"  she  explained. 

Planting  herself  on  the  mansion  s 
broad  staircase,  which  was  ti»e  sort 
that  Rhett  Butler  might  have  swept 
Scarlett  O^Hara  up  In  his  arms,  Mrs. 
Petty  recalled  for  the  scores  of  guestt 
last  year's  birthday  party  at  her  Gulf 
of  Mexico  beach  house. 

"We  hung  a  banner,"  she  recount- 
ed. "  'Eudora,  the  grandest  gull  on 
the  Gulf.'" 

As  everyone  laughed.  Miss  Welty 
replied,  "I  still  am."

The  Great  Race  of  '83 
politics  as  usual 
by  Beau  Butler 

If  there  is  one  feature  that  can  be  predicted  about  a  gubernatori- 
al race  in  our  great  and  enlightened  state,  other  than  the  fact  that 
the  winner  will  under  no  circumstances  be  a  Republican,  it  is  this; 
inevitably,  the  candidates  show  their  true  mettle  as  Election  Day 
approaches  and  insure  that  the  campaign  will  deteriorate  into  a 
low-level,  banal,  mudslinging  contest  that  tests  the  candidates' 
ability  to  adumbrate  each  other  through  verbal  abuse  rather  than 
through  their  knowledge  of  political  issues.  This  gubernatorial  race 
was  no  exception.  Yes,  there  was  that  good  old  time  name-calling 
and  yes,  the  Clarion-Lcdgcr  ran  front  page  stories  of  the  accusa- 
tions, and  yes,  the  apathetic  masses  discussed  the  pulp  and  delud- 
ed themselves  that  they  were  participating  in  meaningful  political 
analysis.  All  the  familiar  elements  were  present.  What  was  unprec- 


edented, however,  was  the  nature  of  the  mud-slinging  and  the 
questions  it  raised  about  political  integrity. 

For  the  future  Millsapians  who  may  happen  to  read  this  com- 
ment years  from  now,  the  basic  story  is  this.  Three  Jackson  attor- 
neys, all  of  whom  were  ardent  supporters  of  the  Republican  candi- 
date Leon  Bramlett,  made  allegations  that  the  Democratic 
candidate,  former  attorney  general  Bill  Allain,  was  homosexual 
who  frequently  turned  tricks  with  three  black  transvestite  prosti- 
tutes. All  the  gory  details  were  published  in  the  C-L.  Political 
science  professor  John  Quincy  Adams  was  quoted  in  the  New 
York  Times  article  about  the  uncertainty  the  allegations  had 
thrown  into  the  outcome  of  the  race.  And  Johnny  Carson  let  the 
nation  know  on  the  Tonight  Show,  "the  three  popular  things  in 
Mississippi:  Hoddy-Toddy,  Billy,  and  Bill  Allain  (cheer,  a  beer,  and 
a  queer)"  Allain,  of  course,  denied  the  charges  and  reported  that 
the  Republican  party  had  never  stooped  so  low  and  been  so 
desperate  as  to  what  they  had  done.  He  took  a  lie-detector  test  and 


52 


passed.  The  attorneys  did  the  same. 

So  who  was  right?  It  matters  little  now,  for  Allain  won,  of  course. 
At  this  writing,  the  question  of  his  sexual  preferences  has  been  all 
but  dropped  (although  for  a  while  Billy  Mounger,  the  Julius  Caesar 
of  the  legal  trimverate,  swore  that  the  "truth"  would  be  exposed). 
The  fact  that  Allain  won  says  much  about  two  powerful  forces  in 
Mississippi  society  and  politics.  One  is  religion.  As  a  state  in  the 
heart  of  the  Bible  belt,  Mississippi  likes  to  feel  it  does  its  part  in 
protecting  the  moral  fiber  of  America.  Given  a  culture  like  this,  an 
accusation  of  such  an  abomination  as  homosexuality  directed  to- 
ward a  candidate  for  the  state's  highest  elected  office  can  be  a 
mortal  wound. 

And  yet  it  wasn't.  Allain  never  came  out  with  positive  proof  that 
the  allegations  were  false,  and  as  a  divorcee,  had  no  loving  wife 
and  family  to  disprove  them  by  force  of  example.  What  helped 
Allain  win  was  something  that  is  probably  more  deeply  rooted  in 
Mississippi  politics  than  any  religious  force;  and  that  is  the  state's 


aversion  to  Republicans.  While  we  may  elect  a  national  senator  or 
representative  from  that  party,  the  state  offices  are  almost  invari- 
ably reserved  for  members  of  the  party  that  has  produced  such 
great  leaders  as  Bilbo,  Barnett,  and  Eastland.  There  is  still  some- 
thing in  the  political  subconscious  of  the  Mississippi  political  mind 
that  still  associates  the  loss  of  our  "Southern  way  of  life"  in  the 
Civil  War,  with  the  harshness  and  humiliation  of  Grant's  recon- 
struction policies,  and  that  something  has  made  Mississippians 
vote  by  and  large  for  Democratic  candidates. 

As  to  political  integrity,  the  question  can  be  put  with  relative 
simplicity;  when  will  Mississippi  ever  develop  a  mature  political 
mentality?  When  will  we  realize  that  policy  issues  are  immensely 
more  important  than  some  facade  of  morality  and  righteousness? 
Until  something  is  done  about  this,  all  we  can  hpe  for  is  a  lively 
event  one  every  four  years  and  a  dearth  of  progressive,  far-sighted 
policy  that  will  get  the  state  out  of  its  bottom-oriented  rut  every 
year  for  an  eternity.

The 


Lion  In

The  Millsaps  players  ended 
their  60th  season  with  the  roman- 
tic comedy  "The  Lion  In  Winter". 
It  was  a  small  intimate  cast  and 
we  all  agreed  that  "we  should 
have  been  great  fools  not  to  have 
done  this  show."

Who 
Cares? 

More  than  you 
might  think  .  .  . 

Many  Millsaps  students  allow  time  in 
their  hectic  academic  schedules  to  vol- 
unteer. Taking  on  the  responsibility  of 
leading  a  Cub  Scout  troop  would  be  a 
challenge  under  any  circumstances; 
but  when  the  Scout  Master  and  Den 
Mother  are  college  students  and  the 
scouts  are  visually  impaired,  it's  bound 
to  be  an  extraordinary  experience. 
Seniors  Denise  Heaman  and  Kimble 
Scott  lead  a  Cub  Scout  troop. 

Several  Students  have  dedicated  up 
to  72  hours  of  training  to  work  with 
CONTACT,  an  anonymous  crisis  line. 
These  individuals  deal  with  everything 
from  referral  calls  to  actually  interven- 
ing in  suicides  and  deep  depressions 
experienced  by  the  callers. 

Several  students  volunteer  their 
time  as  tutors  to  handicapped  individ- 
uals of  all  ages  from  the  Jackson  area. 
R.E.A.C.H.  stands  for  Religious  Educa- 
tion and  Activities  for  Community 
Handicapped. 

Leading  a  comfortable  life  here  at 
Millsaps  is  an  easily  accomplished  task 
for  most  of  us  students.  But  take  a  look 
a  few  blocks  west  of  campus  and  you'll 
find  Jackson's  mid-town  area  isn't 
quite  as  conducive  to  a  comfortable  li- 
festyle. Millsaps  students  Lee  Rice, 
Mary  Vassar  Ballard,  Lisa  McGee  and 
others  volunteer  an  hour  of  their  time 
on  Friday  afternoons  in  an  effort  to 
make  life  a  little  brighter  for  the  chil- 
dren in  Bethlehem  Center's  Kindergar- 
ten program.  A  little  playtime  for  these 
students  is  relaxing  and  means  so  much 
to  the  children  who  claim  "It's  a  long 
week  'til  Friday." 


The  British  Studies  at  Oxford  program  enables  several 
Millsaps  students  to  attend  summer  school  at  St.  John's 
College  in  Oxford,  England  each  year.  The  students  attend 
two  lectures  a  day  and  benefit  from  the  intellect  of  such 
eminent  british  scholars  as  Sir  Roy  Strong,  Hugh  Trevor- 
Roper  and  A.L.  Rouse.  The  Summer  Session  previously 
attended  by  ten  Millsaps  students  in  1983  had  as  its  theme 
Britain  in  the  Renaissance.  Courses  were  offered  in  such 
topics  as  English  Reformation,  Jacobean  and  Elizabethan 
Stage,  Shakespeare's  Tragedies,  Shakespeare's  Histories 
and  Romances,  the  social  aspects  of  Renaissance  Drama, 
and  many  others.  Students  received  six  hours  credit  for 
their  studies.  The  six  weeks  spent  in  England  will  be  remem- 
bered as  much  for  learning  to  play  rugby  as  for  writing 
papers;  as  much  for  tips  to  Hard  Rock  Cafe  for  "American 
Burgers"  as  for  breakfasts  of  kippers  and  stewed  tomatoes. 

Oxford  is  only  90  minutes  from  London  by  train,  so 


students  take  advantage  of  afternoons  or  long  weekends  to 
shop  at  Harrod's,  visit  museums,  tour  Buckingham  Palace 
and  Parliament  and  view  the  Tower  of  London.  This  year's 
group  will  never  admit  to  having  spent  hours  looking  for 
London  Bridge  .  .  .  The  students  "drank  in"  the  Oxford 
atmosphere  at  many  of  the  local  pubs,  and  after  11:00  one 
could  always  spot  a  group  of  British  Studies  students  at  one 
of  the  local  discos  or  in  a  line  at  the  Kebab  Stand. 

The  experience  of  studying  at  one  of  the  most  famous 
Universities  in  the  world,  living  for  six  weeks  abroad  and 
traveling  around  Britain,  and  oftentimes  into  Europe,  is  one 
the  British  Studies  at  Oxford  students  rarely  forget.

"Look,  honey!  Can  you  believe  we  used  to  wear  this 
stuff?"  That's  probably  what  you'll  say  to  your  spouse  ten 
years  from  now  when  you  settle  down  with  your  Boba- 
shela  for  a  night  of  reminiscing.  Yes,  those  were  the  days — 
Thursday  nights  at  C.S.'s,  California  Day  with  Ruby  inquir- 
ing "What  for  ya,hon?",  hours  spent  playing  Trivial  Pur- 
suit, .  .  .  "Where's  the  Beef?"  .  .  .  wearing  sweats  to  class 
because  the  alarm  failed  you  again  (sure)  .  .  .  hanging 
around  the  bowl  when  you  know  that  term  project  is  due 
Friday  and  you  haven't  started  it .  .  .  whining  to  Hazel  to  let 
you  by  "just  this  once"  when  you  forget  your  I.D.,  flipping 
to  the  Letters  to  the  Editor  section  of  the  P&W  to  see  what 
the  latest  controversy  is  .  .  .  Sure,  some  things  are  distinctly 
1984,  but  some  things  never  change.

Maud  DeLes  Gober  was  once  again  elected 
as  the  Millsaps  College  Homecoming  Queen 
for  the  second  consecutive  year! 

Maud  DeLes,  the  daughter  of  Reverend  and 
Mrs.  W.T.  Gober  of  Jackson,  is  a  senior  major- 
ing in  Elementary  Education.  She  is  a  member 
of  Kappa  Delta  Sorority  and  has  also  been 
elected  Millsaps  Major's  Lady  in  1983-84. 
Maud  DeLes  is  a  member  of  Kappa  Delta  Epsi- 
lon  Education  Honorary,  Omicron  Delta 
Kappa  and  Sigma  Lambda  Leadership  Honor- 
aries,  membership  on  the  Panhellenic  Council, 
participation  in  the  Millsaps  Singers  and  the 
Millsaps  Troubadors  and  membership  in  the 
Chapel  Series  Committee. 

Maud  DeLes  spends  her  spare  time  as  a 
volunteer  with  REACH  (Religious  Education 
and  Activities  for  the  Christian  Handicapped) 
and  singing  in  various  churches  and  clubs  in 
Jackson,  including  participation  in  the  Gallo- 
way Methodist  Church  Chancel  Choir. 

The  title  of  queen  is  an  honor  which  is  sure 
to  have  made  her  great,  great,  great  uncle  very 
proud — for  Major  Reuben  Webster  Millsaps 
was  the  primary  benefactor  of  the  college  over 
which  this  queen  reigns!

terested in  theatre  in  his  gleeful 
proclamation  "Hi  Diddle  Dee 
Dee,  it's  an  Actor's  Life  for  Me". 

The  work  which  is  poured  into 
each  theatrical  production  actu- 
ally begins  the  very  night  of  audi- 
tions. Following  the  casting  or 
parts  are  the  seemingly  endless 
nights  of  rehearsal  and  practice. 
As  the  play  unfolds  throughout 
the  weeks  of  practice,  behind- 
the-scenes  preparations  are  also 
made:  sets  are  designed,  lighting 
and  sound  are  arranged,  props 
are  gathered,  costumes  are  al- 
tered and  makeup  is  perfected. 
The  friendships  made,  the  tech- 
niques learned,  and  the  energy 
expended  all  culminate  in  the 
overwhelming  nights  of  finally 
performing  for  an  audience.  The 
play  doesn't  end  with  its  perfor- 
mance, however;  it  is  treasured 
and  tucked  away  in  the  memo- 
ries of  each  person  involved  with 
the  production.  The  productions 
of  1983-84  brought  with  them 
memories  of  Saturday  afternoon 
paint  parties,  Darin's  set  design, 
Walt's  carpentry  skills.  Brent's 
cheesecake,  the  bird  escaping 
and  running  the  440  for  the  fugi- 
tive scene.

resident  assistants = 


The  life  of  a  Resident  Assistant  can  be  rewarding  in  many  ways  and  much 
less  so  in  others.  The  single  room,  the  extra  pennies  in  the  pocket  and  the 
close  camaraderie  among  RA  and  "hall-mates"  are  among  the  favorable 
aspects  of  the  job.  The  position  of  RA  also  has  its  quirky,  more  question- 
ably enjoyable  requirements  such  as  giving  foot  massages,  evicting  males 
from  the  dorm  after  visiting  hours,  late  night  phone  duty  and  quieting 
rowdy  'dorm-dwellers'.  The  opportunity  to  grow  closer  to  one's  peers  while 
still  serving  a  necessary  function  as  confidante,  middle-man  and  overseer 
can  be  a  very  gratifying  experience  for  a  resident  assistant.  (Pictures  show 
R.A.'s  in  training  during  summer  workshop)

Student  Executive  Board 


SEB 


The  Student  Executive  Board  was  led  for  an  unprec- 
edented two  years  by  Billy  Wheeler.  The  1983  SEB, 
under  President  Wheeler's  liberal  administration,  de- 
fended student  rights  in  many  ways.  Wheeler  fought  for  a 
more  liberal  alcohol  policy,  a  fight  he  fought  since  his  first 
term. 

Among  the  other  accomplishments  of  the  1983  admin- 
istration were  the  set  up  of  a  typewriter  room,  lights  in  the 
bowl,  parties  at  CS's,  fraternity  houses,  in  the  bowl,  and 
forums.

Going 
Greek 

is  it  worth  it? 

"The  Greek  system  is  regressing  our  college 
community  instead  of  expanding  and  benefiting 
the  school."  This  seems  to  sum  up  the  opinion  of 
many  faculty  and  students  at  Millsaps. 

A  major  issue  brought  up  this  year  was  the 
purpose  of  the  Greek  system.  The  Greek  organi- 
zations provide  different  outlets  and  served  dif- 
ferent needs  for  different  people.  Some  faculty 
do  see  Greek  organizations  as  a  peer  advisory 
group,  but  feel  that  the  peer  advisory  group  of 
the  college  should  be  enough  for  the  students. 

If  the  fraternities  show  social  direction  and 
community  involvement  can  the  organization 
benefit  the  college  and  community  and  the  indi- 
vidual? The  faculty  and  others  do  not  realize  the 
many  positive  aspects  of  Greek  life.  Most 
Greeks  at  Millsaps  are  involved  with  many  ser- 
vice projects  and  philanthropies;  but  the  college 
is  only  aware  of  the  "social"  aspects  of  these 
groups.  This  year,  the  Greeks  attempted  to 
show  the  college  the  wide  range  of  activities  they 
were  involved  in,  as  well  as  become  more  active 
with  the  independents  at  Millsaps.

Another  hot  August  and  three  weeks  of 
practice  came  and  went  with  as  many  new 
faces  on  our  roster  as  old  ones.  The  first 
game  came  shortly  thereafter,  and  we  went 
to  Memphis  with  two  inexperienced  fresh- 
men quarterbacks  and  a  lot  of  anticipation 
about  what  lay  ahead  for  us.  We  returned  to 
Jackson  with  a  hard  fought  victory  over  our 
biggest  rival,  Southwestern.  We  knew  after 
this  we  had  a  lot  of  potential,  but  also  had 
much  hard  work  to  do.  The  1983  season 
proved  to  be  one  of  the  most  successful  in 
years.  An  impressive  seven  wins  against  two 


losses  are  only  a  part  of  the  accomplishments 
made.  This  team,  who  for  the  most  part  had 
never  played  together,  unified  early  and 
played  as  a  team  from  the  onset.  This  team 
put  a  player,  Edmond  Donald,  on  the  Kodak 
All-American  Team,  as  he  rambled  for  the 
most  yards  in  the  history  of  this  school.  The 
Majors  will  miss  some  of  these  old  faces  as 
graduation  will  take  its  toll  on  the  Majors' 
roster,  but  there  will  be  new  faces  to  fill  these 
shoes  and  to  continue  this  great  winning  tradi- 
tion of  Millsaps  football.

Below:  Co-Captains  Mike  Ford  and  Roger  Garrett  ac- 
cept the  Millsaps  Invitational  Championship  trophy 


A  combination  of  hard  work  and  team  ef- 
fort gave  the  1983-84  Majors  a  record  setting 
year.  In  Coach  Don  Holcomb's  third  year  at 
Millsaps,  the  Majors  soared  to  a  20  win  sea- 
son against  just  6  losses.  This  marks  the  best 
record  in  the  history  of  basketball  at  Millsaps. 
The  season  was  highlighted  by  first  place  fin- 
ishes in  the  2nd  Annual  Millsaps  Dr.  Pepper 
Classic  and  the  Trinity  University  Invitational 
Tournament  in  San  Antonio,  Texas.  Also,  a 
third  place  finish  in  the  South  Regionals  in 
Rocky  Mount,  North  Carolina  marked  the 
first  ever  bid  to  the  NCAA  Division  III  Nation- 
al Tournament  for  Millsaps.  This  was  an  out- 
standing turnaround  from  last  year's  9-16  re- 
cord. As  a  team,  the  Majors  ended  up  ranked 
third  in  the  nation  in  field  goal  percentage 
and  seventh  in  scoring  defense.  Billy  Waits,  a 
sophomore,  led  the  nation  in  field  goal  per- 


centage the  entire  year.  He  was  named  to  the 
first  team  All-District  team. 

Also,  the  Majors  currently  have  a  14  game 
winning  streak  at  home.  This  includes  being 
unbeaten  at  home  this  year  in  13  games  plus 
the  last  game  of  the  82-83  season.  Tom  Scott 
was  the  team's  leading  rebounder,  and  his 
scoring  ability  provided  a  vital  part  of  the 
Majors'  attack.  Scott,  a  second  team  All-Dis- 
trict performer,  was  also  named  team  M.V.P. 
Roger  Garrett,  point  guard,  led  the  team  in 
assists.  The  depth  of  this  year's  team  will  be 
an  asset  for  replacing  the  three  seniors:  Co- 
Captains  Mike  Ford  and  Roger  Garrett,  and 
Tom  Scott.  With  nine  players  returning,  the 
Majors  will  be  trying  to  duplicate  their  trip  to 
the  National  Tournament  next  year.

Soccer 


Millsaps  soccer  team  started  its  1983  season  with  a  bear  on  its 
back.  After  our  first  eight  matches,  six  of  which  were  on  the  road,  we 
were  blessed  with  a  2-6  record.  The  defense  had  held  the  opposition 
to  an  average  of  less  than  two  goals  per  game.  The  offense,  however, 
couldn't  seem  to  make  the  transition  from  our  defensive  third  to  the 
back  of  the  opposition's  net. 

It  was  at  this  point  that  George  had  what  he  calls  "a  chalk  talk". 
This  was  definately  our  turning  point.  One  could  say  that  we  became 
motivated,  fired  up,  etc.;  our  record  speaks  for  itself. 

From  this  point  on  we  not  only  began  to  win,  but  we  began  to  play 
like  a  team.  WE  learned  from  our  mistakes  in  the  early  part  of  the 
year,  and  we  made  this  knowledge  work  for  us. 

The  best  part  of  this  season  was  the  fun  we  had  together  as  a  team. 
For  the  first  time  in  three  seasons  we  traveled  together  on  a  bus,  as  a 
team  should.  We  shared  experiences  that  we  will  all  cherish  for  the 
rest  of  our  lives.  We  all  worked  hard  and  spent  what  often  seemed  like 
forever  running  our  circuits,  but  we  reaped  the  reward  of  victory  in 
our  12-7  record  and  we  had  a  little  fun  along  the  way.  — Andy 
Solomon

'Millsaps  Invitational  Champions 

"Southwestern  at  Memphis  Invit.  2nd  Place 

through  the  tragic  loss  of  one  of  our  players. 
Through  the  memory,  respect,  and  love  of 
her,  we  were  able  to  pull  together  and  be- 
come stronger  as  a  team.  This  first  winning 
season  was  fully  dedicated  in  loving  memory 
of  our  teammate  —  Robin  Rowland.  Looking 
back  over  the  season  and  the  times  shared 
over  various  road  trips  and  many  patience- 
demanding  practices,  we  not  only  learned 
about  the  importance  of  being  part  of  a  team 
on  the  court  but  also  in  our  personal  lives. 
These  extra  times  shared  outside  of  the  gym 
seemed  to  enhance  our  winning  in  a  new  way. 
Although  we  did  have  our  share  of  rough 
times  when  nothing  seemed  to  go  our  way, 
we  pulled  each  other  through  them.  Together 
we  would  like  to  especially  thank  our 
coach — Mary  Ann  Edge,  our  trainers  and 
managers,  and  all  our  loyal  supporters.  Al- 
though the  numbers  11-10  are  not  very  im- 
pressive on  paper,  to  each  of  us  it  will  truly  be 
"a  season  to  remember."

The  1984  Millsaps  baseball  team  opened 
the  season  with  many  questions.  A  young 
pitching  staff  faced  perhaps  the  toughest 
schedule  in  recent  years.  Kevin  Martin  and 
Jim  Page  pitched  well  while  having  to  pitch 
with  little  rest.  Henry  Lyons,  Elton  Burrous, 
and  Stan  Gibbens  came  in  to  fill  the  void.  The 
Majors  returned  five  starting  defensive  play- 
ers to  their  positions.  Senior  Joe  Rooks  in 
leftfield  has  held  down  his  position  for  4 
years.  Nick  Anderson,  Roger  Dankel,  and 


Jim  Page  have  been  getting  the  nod  for  3 
years  in  centerfield,  second  base  and  third 
base  respectively.  Senior  Kyle  Hux,  a  junior 
college  transfer,  returns  as  a  catcher.  To  fill 
the  other  three  positions  were  Chad  Lamar 
at  shortstop,  sophomore  Mark  Bryan  in  right- 
field,  and  Senior  Steve  Hancock  at  first  base. 
Freshman  Ronnie  Griffen  filled  in  at  various 
positions.  With  only  losing  three  seniors  from 
the  1984  team,  the  Majors  expect  to  have 
another  successful  campaign  in  '85.

Cheerleaders 


The  Millsaps  College  cheerleaders  worked  very  hard  this  year. 
Under  the  leadership  of  head  cheerleader  Tana  Browning,  the 
squad  endured  many  long  hours  of  rigorous  practice  in  prepara- 
tion for  cheerleader  camp  and  the  upcoming  season.  Cheerleader 
camp  was  held  at  Memphis  State  University  the  first  week  in 
August.  Squads  from  all  over  the  United  States  competed.  Bring- 
ing home  3  Superior  and  2  Excellent  ribbons,  the  Millsaps  cheer- 
leaders proved  to  be  among  the  best.  Throughout  football  season 
and  into  basketball  season,  the  cheerleaders  painted  many  signs 
and  prepared  "little  treats"  in  order  to  help  arouse  spirit.  Cheers 
with  stunts  and  pyramids  as  well  as  pom  pon  routines  and  dances 
were  a  major  part  of  each  game.  Having  had  a  winning  season  in 
both  football  and  basketball,  the  Millsaps  College  cheerleaders  of 
1983-84  really  had  a  lot  to  cheer  about! 


Above:  The  cheerleaders  lead  the  student  body  during  a  pep  rally.  Above  right: 
Head  Cheerleader  Tana  Browning  leads  the  cheerleaders  in  practice.  Above  far 
right:  Debbie  Arnold  may  look  shy  in  this  picture,  but  her  spirit  really  shows  when 
she  cheers.

Intramurals 


Under  the  leadership  of  George  Gober  and 
the  Intramural  Council,  Millsaps  has  estab- 
lished an  excellent  intramural  program  that 
involves  a  large  part  of  the  Millsaps  commu- 
nity. Students  and  faculty  both  enjoy  the  fun 
and  exciting  competition  that  intramural 
sports  provide.  The  sports  that  are  included 
in  this  fine  program  are  flag  football,  soccer, 
volleyball,  basketball,  tennis,  and  softball.

A  Final  Look  . . . 


The  athletic  year  1983-84  proved  to  be  a  successlul  one  for  the  Millsaps  Majors.  The  football  team  carried  on  its  fine  winning  tradition  while 
the  basketball  team  established  what  they  hope  becomes  a  winning  tradition  with  an  excellent  20-6  record  and  an  NCAA  bid.  The  Lady  Majors 
pulled  together  to  overcome  a  tough  personal  loss  and  achieve  a  winning  season.  Also,  the  soccer  team  posted  a  successful  record  and  brought 
continued  respect  to  the  young  Millsaps  soccer  program.  Although  the  tennis  teams  did  not  have  winning  records,  their  members  displayed 
strong  talent  and  the  young  teams  show  much  promise  for  future  seasons.  The  1984  baseball  team  was  also  young,  but  it  played  many  hard 
fought  games  and  exhibited  potential  for  a  good  1985  year.  All  in  all,  Millsaps  teams  displayed  skill  and  teamwork  that  made  their  fans  proud. 
Here's  a  final  look  at  the  1983-84  Millsaps  Majors.

It's  Millsaps'  committed,  caring 
professors  that  make  the  differ- 
ence—  Here  is  what  some  stu- 
dents had  to  say  about  their  teach- 
ers .  .  . 


"Dr.  Pritchard  has  firmly  established  that  he  be- 
lieves in  the  Millsaps  academic  standard  —  the  tougher 
the  better!  1  feel  that  his  patience  in  helping  students 
during  and  after  office  hours,  his  classroom  discus- 
sions, his  extremely  caustic  grading,  his  tedious  assign- 
ments, his  intelligence,  and  his  sense  of  humor  are 
some  of  the  ingredients  that  make  him  a  quality  teach- 
er. 

Computer  majors  learn  the  idiosyncrasies  of  not 
only  the  teacher,  but  also  the  individual,  especially  if 
some  can  manage  to  get  him  to  CS's  for  a  while  to 
maintain  a  friendly  conversation  outside  of  class. 

I  mostly  admire  Dr.  Pritchard  for  his  ability  to  with- 
stand the  jeers  and  sometimes  plain  rudeness  of  stu- 
dents and  keep  demanding  quality  from  us." 

—  Rosemary  Sanders 

"Mr.  Kilmore  exemplifies  a  true  musician  —  one 
who  always  works  to  improve  their  talent.  Whatever  I 
do  with  music  in  the  future,  1  want  to  do  my  best, 
because  Mr.  Kilmer  may  be  listening.  He  cares  about 
each  student  and  propels  them  toward  excellence." 

—  Erin  Fairley 

"Lance  Goss  is  many  people;  an  instructor,  an  advi- 
sor, an  actor,  a  director,  but  first  and  foremost  he  is  a 
friend.  When  you  have  lost  all  self-confidence  he  re- 
tains faith  in  you  and  helps  you  believe  in  yourself  by 
making  you  do  things  you  were  convinced  you  couldn't 
do.  Every  life  Lance  touches  is  made  lovelier,  happier, 
fuller,  .  .  ,  and  a  lot  richer." 

—  Katrina  Jameson 

"Dr.  Berry  gives  more  time  outside  class  to  his 
students  than  any  other  teacher  I  have  known.  He 
even  comes  on  campus  on  the  weekends  to  help  his 
students.  Dr.  Berry  has  influenced  me  by  showing  me 
that  more  than  just  the  working  hours,  dedication  and 
devotion  are  necessary  to  be  a  success  in  your  field." 

—  Rakesh  Mangal 

"Dr.  McKeown's  courses  are  very  demanding,  but 
preparatory  for  any  medical  school,  whether  it  is  Yale, 
Harvard,  Johns  Hopkins,  or  even  Ole  Miss  Medical 
School.  1  have  learned  to  work  very  hard,  but  most  of 
all,  I  have  learned  to  enjoy  biology  to  the  maximum 
level  due  to  the  reflection  of  Dr.  McKeown's  friendly 
personality  and  ingenuity."  —  Rakesh  Mangal

someone  out,  but  here  goesi  My  deepest  appreciation  goes  to 
Chris  Cheek  ffor  almost  all  off  the  color  photography — thanks  also 
to  Jim  Ritchie,  Steven  DroUinger,  and  especially  Susan  Graves 
ffor  her  patience.  Thanks  to  Paige  Sullivan  ffor  doing  the  sports 
section  so  beautiffuUy  (and  single-handedly!),  and  to  Anthony 
Cloy  ffor  handling  all  off  the  organizations.  Jolene  McCaleb  saved 
me  ffrom  trying  to  juggle  the  books.  Thanks  to  Perri  White-Spun- 
ner,  Stephen  Bush,  and  Susan  Van  Cleve  ffor  Greeks,  to  Betsy 
Gwin  ffor  the  ffeatures,  to  Katrina  ffor  everything  that  had  to  do 
with  theatre  . . .  thanks  to  Cecile  Williams,  Gloria  Simo,  and 
Debbie  Fischer — the  events  emergency  crew  ...  to  Lee  Rice  and 
Mary  Vidrine  ffor  all  they  did  . . .  thanks  to  my  pep  squad — David 
Loper,  Beth  Collins,  and  Mac  Bailey  who  taught  me  the  true 
meaning  off  the  word  "Bobashela".  And  off  course,  the  greatest 
thanks  go  to  the  One  who  got  us  through  it!  God  bless  you  all . . .
