rying  to  capture  a  year  in 
the  life  of  Miilsaps  Col- 
lege is  a  challenging  task. 
Pictures  of  campus  events, 
friends,  and  mentors  pile  up  in 
the  Bobashela  office  over  the 
year  and  an  attempt  to  sort 
through  them  and  arrange  them 
in  a  presentable  order  is  a  slow 
process.  Memories  of  people, 
classes,  hopes,  and  dreams  fill  the 
mind  as  picture  after  picture  fill 
my  hands  and  fill  my  eyes.  It 
seems  hard  to  believe  that  I  have 
been  here  four  years  and  that  in 
May  of  1 989  I  will  leave  Miilsaps 


with  these  memories  that  I  will 
carry  with  me  for  always.  For 
me,  being  a  senior,  this  yearbook 
is  the  most  important  ever  —  it  is 
of  my  year,  my  last  year  as  an 
undergraduate  at  Miilsaps  — 
and  it  is  a  book  filled  with  memo- 
ries of  my  friends  and  my  life  as  a 
Miilsaps  student.  It  is  a  book  for 
all  of  us;  it  is  a  book  of  the  year  in 
the  life  of  the  continuous  commu- 
nity we  are  all  a  part  of  and  will 
remain  a  part  of  for  the  rest  of 
our  lives. 

As  a  college  community,  we 
struggle  and  grow  in  reaching  for 


the  future.  The  purpose  of  this 
yearbook  is  to  piece  together 
through  pictures  and  text  the 
fight  and  struggle,  the  joy  and 
pain  we  all  share  in  learning  to- 
gether and  growing  together  to 
be  the  best  human  beings  that  we 
can  possibly  be.  Whenever  we 
view  this  book  of  the  year  1988- 
89  let  us  reflect  on  how  we  have 
matured  and  what  we  have 
learned  from  that  time. 

In  thinking  back  over  my  years 
at  Miilsaps,  a  question  that  kept 
recurring  to  me  was  why  are  we 
here?  What  is  the  importance  of 


being  liberally  educated  people, 
and  what  is  the  purpose  of  our 
education?  The  philosopher, 
John  Dewey,  addresses  this  ques- 
tion by  saying,  "With  the  renew- 
al of  physical  existence  goes,  in 
the  case  of  human,  the  recreation 
of  beliefs,  ideals,  hopes,  happi- 
ness, misery,  and  practices.  The 
continuity  of  any  experience, 
through  renewing  of  the  social 
group,  is  a  literal  fact.  Education, 
in  its  broadest  sense,  is  the  means 
of  this  social  continuity  of  life.

Leonard  cuts  right  as  Rhodes  defenders  close  in  during  the  homecoming

...  By  various  agencies,  uninten- 
tional and  designed,  a  society 
transforms  uninitiated  and  seem- 
ingly alien  beings  into  robust 
trustees  of  its  own  resources  and 
ideals.  Education  is  thus  a  foster- 
ing, a  nurturing,  a  cultivating 
process.  All  of  these  words  mean 
that  it  implies  attention  to  the 
conditions  of  growth."  A  liberal 
education  gives  us  the  opportuni- 
ty to  become  well-rounded  indi- 
viduals living  together  as  one  in  a 
community.  Our  education  is 
what  we  are  and  what  we  strive  to 
become  and  there  is  a  direct  rela- 


tionship between  who  we  are  as 
people  and  what  we  learn.  Our 
education  is  a  continuous  pro- 
cess. It  is  a  small  part  compared 
to  the  time  span,  but  nevertheless 
an  essential  and  meaningful  part. 
We  as  a  community  of  scholars 
grew  a  great  deal  this  year.  This 
is  a  year  where  a  lot  of  changes 
occurred  at  Millsaps,  and  as  a 
community  we  struggled  togeth- 
er to  create  change.  We  struggled 
to  actualize  our  education  —  to 
put  into  practice  what  we  learn  in 
order  to  live  fully  as  citizens  of 
the  world.  Our  education  pro- 


vides us  with  a  means  to  live.  The 
philosopher,  Alfred  North 
Whitehead  discusses  the  role  of 
education  in  us  living  our  lives. 
"Education  is  the  guidance  of  the 
individual  towards  a  comprehen- 
sion of  the  art  of  life;  and  by  the 
art  of  life  I  mean  the  most  com- 
plete achievement  of  varied  ac- 
tivity expressing  the  potentiali- 
ties of  that  living  creature  in  the 
face  of  its  actual  environment. 
This  completeness  of  achieve- 
ment involves  an  artistic  sense, 
subordinating  the  lower  to  the 
higher  possibilities  of  the  indivis- 


ible personality.  Science,  art,  re- 
ligion, morality,  take  their  rise 
from  this  sense  of  values  within 
the  structure  of  being.  Each  indi- 
vidual embodies  an  adventure  of 
existence.  The  art  of  life  is  the 
guidance  of  this  adventure."  In 
trying  to  perfect  this  art  —  the 
art  of  life,  the  Millsaps  communi- 
ty tackled  its  problems  head  on. 
The  problem  of  low  minority 
enrollment  on  campus  was  on  the 
forefront  of  many  people's  minds.

It  seems  that  1988-89  was  a  time 
when  our  entire  nation  became 
interested  in  our  minority  popu- 
lation and  we  saw  a  renewed 
struggle  for  civil  rights.  Minority 
enrollment  all  over  the  country 
was  dwindling  during  the  1980's, 
and  it  is  a  serious  problem  that 
our  educational  system  faces. 
The  movie  "Mississippi  Burn- 
ing," released  in  1989,  brought 
national  attention  to  race  rela- 
tions in  Mississippi,  and  although 
not  portraying  an  accurate  pic- 
ture of  the  Civil  Rights  Move- 
ment, it  renewed  national  inter- 


est. On  the  Millsaps  campus  in- 
terest was  sparked  when  senior 
honors  student  Laura  McKinley 
delivered  to  an  overflowing 
crowd  at  Friday  Forum  her  hon- 
ors paper  on  Millsaps's  role  in  the 
Civil  Rights  Movement.  Laura 
reminded  us  of  our  history  as  a 
courageous  and  open  minded  col- 
lege during  a  turbulent  time,  and 
she  challenged  us  as  a  communi- 
ty to  make  more  of  an  effort  at 
improving  the  minority  situation 
on  the  campus  now. 

In  response  to  some  of  the  is- 
sues raised  in  the  consultation  on 


the  Status  of  Minority  Students 
at  Millsaps  a  new  and  needed  po- 
sition was  created  in  Student  Af- 
fairs. Ms.  Carolyn  Thompson 
was  hired  as  coordinator  of  Mi- 
nority Affairs  to  lend  support  to 
the  minority  students  on  campus. 
It  will  be  interesting  to  see  where 
Millsaps  is  with  its  minority 
problem  a  few  years  from  now. 
With  community  discussion  and 
action,  Millsaps  may  once  again 
be  a  leader  in  the  movement  for 
racial  equality. 

In  following  the  tradition  of 
the  consultation  on  the  Status  of 


Minority  Students,  the  Millsaps 
community  began  in  1988-89  to 
address  another  problem  in  a  so- 
cial forum.  The  consultation  for 
the  Status  of  Substance  Abuse  at 
Millsaps  was  a  constructive  dis- 
cussion on  another  problem  in  the 
college  community  that  members 
saw  a  need  to  bring  out  into  the 
open.  These  consultations  are  ex- 
amples of  members  of  the  com- 
munity actualizing  their  educa- 
tion —  not  just  studying  how  to 
be  the  best

person  possible,  but  working 
through  action  to  become  the 
best  person  possible. 

During  the  1988  national  elec- 
tions many  students  became  in- 
volved in  the  campaigns.  The 
College  Democrats  and  the  Col- 
lege Republicans  brought  the  is- 
sues to  the  Millsaps  students  and 
through  their  local  efforts  be- 
came involved  in  national  poli- 
tics. A  group  of  faculty  and  stu- 
dents started  a  local  RESULTS 
chapter  and  have  become  quite 
successful  in  their  efforts.  RE- 
SULTS is  a  political  lobbying 


group  working  for  the  purpose  of 
ending  world  hunger.  This  is  an- 
other example  of  students  taking 
their  beliefs  and  putting  them 
into  action.  It  is  an  example  of 
the  members  of  the  smaller  Mill- 
saps  community  realizing  their 
relationship  and  responsibility  to 
the  larger  world  community. 
1988-89  was  a  politically  active 
year  for  the  Millsaps  community. 
The  1989  Student  Symposium 
was  on  the  new  developments  in 
the  Soviet  Union  with  Glastnost 
and  Peristroika,  and  their  impact 
on  the  U.S. /Soviet  relations.  A 


Millsaps  alumnus,  Dr.  Thomas 
Naylor,  gave  the  opening  address 
which  was  an  overview  of  Glast- 
nost and  Peristroika.  Dr.  Jackson 
Piotrow  from  the  American  Uni- 
versity in  Washington  D.C.,  gave 
an  address  on  how  these  changes 
affect  the  United  States,  and 
Counselor  Serguei  Kislyak  from 
the  Soviet  embassy  in  Washing- 
ton told  how  these  changes  affect 
the  Soviet  Union  itself.  So,  in 
1988-89,  Millsaps  was  not  only 
discussing  its  own  problems,  but 
it  was  also  discussing  national 
and  international  problems  — 


discussion  that  is  necessary  to  be- 
come world  citizens. 

Several  events  occurred  during 
the  year  that  spurred  the  commu- 
nity into  action  and  discussion, 
but  probably  the  most  memora- 
ble was  the  consequences  of  the 
article  the  Purple  and  White 
published  concerning  the  Friday 
Student  Program.  Suresh 
Chawla,  the  newly  appointed  edi- 
tor, resigned  after  the  article  and 
rumors  that  President  Harmon 
intimidated  him  swooned  all  over 
the  campus.

The  faculty  and  students  rallied 
in  support  behind  Suresh  and 
after  President  Harmon  issued 
an  apology,  Suresh  returned  to 
the  helm  of  the  P&W.  Millsaps 
students  will  fight  to  protect  their 
rights,  freedom  of  the  press  being 
one  of  them,  as  they  have  in  the 
past  and  will  continue  to  butt 
heads  with  the  administration  in 
securing  those  rights. 

1988-89  is  the  year  marked  by 
Dean  Good's  retirement.  As 
Dean  of  Students,  Dean  Good 
has  been  an  asset  to  Millsaps  and 
has  been  a  central  figure  in  the 


Millsaps  community.  His  com- 
passion and  wisdom  in  dealing 
with  students  has  won  him  re- 
spect and  love  from  the  student 
body.  He  is  a  man  who  is  truly 
concerned  and  wholly  dedicated 
to  the  students  of  Millsaps,  and 
after  his  retirement,  he  will  sure- 
ly be  missed. 

1988-89  is  also  the  year 
marked  by  Millsaps  attaining 
Phi  Beta  Kappa.  After  a  long 
hard  struggle,  the  Mississippi  Al- 
pha Chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa 
was  installed  in  March  1989.  The 
awarding  of  the  Phi  Beta  Kappa

production  of  A  Bequest  to  the  Nation 


chapter  to  Millsaps  points  to  our 
long  tradition  of  excellence  in  the 
liberal  arts,  our  commitment  to 
learning,  and  the  character  of  all 
those  associated  past  and  present 
with  the  Millsaps  community. 
The  P&W  stated  in  an  article 
about  Millsaps  award  that  "Phi 
Beta  Kappa  symbolizes  the  belief 
that  the  liberal  arts  will  remain 
essential  to  any  meaningful  un- 
derstanding of  the  human  condi- 
tion; and  encourages  intellectual 
honesty  and  tolerance,  as  well  as 
understanding."  Dr.  Lee  Reiff 
said,  "We  have  received  an  in- 


heritance. It's  our  business  to  use 
it,  mint  it,  and  pass  it  on.  A  new 
century  has  begun  at  Millsaps." 
Let  us  not  forget  what  the  pur- 
pose of  our  education  means  in 
our  lives.  So,  as  we  look  at  the 
memories  shared  on  the  follow- 
ing pages,  let  us  remember  who 
we  are  as  members  of  the  Mill- 
saps community  and  from  where 
we  have  come.  Contained  on 
these  pages  for  us  all  is  a  year  in 
the  life  of  Millsaps  College.

^  I  ed  with  events  and  activities 
■^^1  that  instilled  in  Millsaps  stu- 
^  Jl.  dents  and  alumni  a  sense  of 
)ride  and  dedication  towards  their  college. 
The  Homecoming  celebration  reminded 
he  students  and  faculty  of  the  traditions 
issociated  with  Millsaps  and  of  the  long- 
asting  bonds  of  friendship  that  are  devel- 
)ped  in  college.  The  Homecoming  weekend 
vas  filled  with  the  annual  float  competi- 
ion,  pep  rallies,  tye-dyed  T-shirts,  class  re- 
inions,  and  the  announcement  of  the 
homecoming  Queen. 

The  weekend  kept  Millsaps  students 
Dusy  as  they  concentrated  their  efforts  on 
entertaining  themselves  and  the  alumni. 
The  sororities',  fraternities'  and  Indepen- 
lents'  hard  work  paid  off  for  the  Bowl  was 
ivell  decorated  with  colorful  floats.  During 
;he  pregame  activities,  the  Phi  Mu's  were 
innounced  the  winner  of  building  the  float 
ivhich  best  exemplified  the  spirit  of  Home- 
;oming;  Pi  Kappa  Alpha  received  second 
Mace  and  Chi  Omega  won  third  place.  Lat- 
r  that  day,  the  cheerleaders  boosted  school 
spirit  with  their  lively  pep  rallies,  complete 
with  intricate  stunts  and  cheers.  Also  in- 
cluded in  the  celebration  was  the  alumni 


dinner  and  the  fraternity 
and  sorority  open  houses. 
Millsaps  students  also 
were  in  charge  of  distrib- 
uting and  designing  the 
Homecoming  T-shirts 
which  were  very  popular 
this  year. 

The  pre-game  show 
was  highlighted  by  the 
announcement  of  Angie  Belzer  as  Home- 
coming Queen.  Escorted  by  Marshall 
Brackbill,  Angie  received  her  crown  from 
President  Harmon  before  a  packed  crowd 
in  the  stadium.  The  Queen  and  her  court 
were  chosen  through  nominations  and  elec- 
tions by  the  student  body.  The  Queen's 
court  included:  Tracy  Applewhite,  escorted 
by  Billy  Bergner;  Christine  Bakeis,  and  her 
escort  Bobby  Brown;  Betsy  Flowers,  with 
her  escort  Marshall  Pearson;  and  Dorree 
Jane  Smith,  escorted  by  her  brother  Tripp 
Smith. 

With  kick-off  immediately  following  the 
presentation  of  the  court,  fans  displayed  a 
devoted  spirit  to  the  Majors.  The  crowd's 
dedication  rallied  the  team  throughout  a 
difficult  and  trying  game  against  Rhodes. 
Although  the  game  ended  in  a  loss  for  Mill- 


saps, the  players  contin- 
ued to  be  cheered  on  by 
the  fans.  As  Terrance 
Turner  commented,  "We 
wanted  to  win  this  game 
for  Coach  Davis.  Every- 
one was  trying  really 
hard,  but  the  ball  didn't 
bounce  our  way." 

Despite  the  football 
loss,  the  Homecoming  celebration  contin- 
ued as  the  young  alums  and  students  gath- 
ered at  the  Ramada  Inn-Coliseum  for  the 
final  party  of  the  weekend.  The  crowds  en- 
joyed this  relaxing  time  with  little  thought 
of  the  fatigue  of  the  day's  events.  For  the 
seniors,  this  will  be  a  memorable  Home- 
coming weekend.  Queen  Angie  Belzer  re- 
flected on  her  unique  day:  "Homecoming 
1988  is  definitely  one  which  I  will  never 
forget.  I  look  forward  to  returning  next  year 
as  an  alum  and  seeing  how  much  my  class 
has  changed  in  such  a  short  time."

D 


uring  this  past 
year  a  task 
group  of  the 
Campus  Min- 


istry Team,  in  conjunc- 
tion with  various  groups 
on  campus,  sponsored  the 
Consultation  on  Sub- 
stance Abuse.  The  object 
of  the  participants  was 
first  to  raise  conscious- 
ness on  campus  about  the 
problems  that  accompany 
drug  use  or  abuse  through 
a  campus-wide  discussion 
and  then  to  use  that  infor- 
mation to  make  a  positive 
impact  and  statement  on 
the  Millsaps  community. 

The  Consultation  was 
the  brainchild  of  Millsaps 
chaplain,  Don  Fortenberry,  who  has 
seen  the  need  for  an  open,  candid  discus- 
sion on  substance  abuse.  This  issue  has 
gained  widespread  national  and  regional 
attention  recently;  one  of  the  ideas  sup- 
porting the  Consultation  was  to  focus 
that  attention  on  a  part  of  the  problem: 
college  campuses.  The  emphasis  placed 
on  such  a  sensitive  and  controversial  top- 
ic was  not  intended  to  single  out  Millsaps 
as  an  institution  with  unusual  drug  prob- 
lems. Instead,  it  was  meant  to  raise  the 
awareness  of  students,  faculty  and  ad- 
ministration on  what  it  means  to  use  or 
abuse  drugs  and  that  the  intervention 
methods  are  in  helping  someone  with  an 
addictive  problem. 

The  consultation  was  modeled  after 
last  year's  Consultation  on  the  Status  on 
Minority  Students  which  involved  stu- 
dents, faculty  and  administration  in  a 
campus-wide  discussion  that  resulted  in 
not  only  a  raised  level  of  awareness  but 
new  programs  and  education  which  car- 
ried the  issue  into  the  next  semesters. 
The  Consultation  was  led  by  Jack  Lo- 
flin,  an  experienced  group-dynamics 


leader,  and  Don  Forten- 
berry who  asked  the 
group  to  discuss  the  reali- 
ties of  the  drug  situation 
on  campus  and  what  can 
be  done  to  help  correct 
any  problems  that  cur- 
rently exist.  Participants 
came  up  with  many  ideas 
for  long-term  work  such 
as  establishing  a  network 
of  faculty  who  would  be 
willing  to  be  used  as  con- 
tact persons,  establishing 
more  readily  available 
education  for  students 
and  faculty.  Other  ideas 
emerging  from  the  Con- 
sultation were  special 
workshops  dealing  spe- 
cifically with  substance 
abuse  for  the  faculty,  RAs,  perspectives 
leaders  and  any  other  interested  persons; 
also,  an  expanded  freshman  orientation 
program  will  take  time  to  focus  on  this 
important  topic.  These  goals  are  in  the 
works  in  hopes  that  not  only  will  more 
education  be  available  but  also  that  the 
issue  will  stay  alive  in  the  semesters  to 
come.  Presently,  the  task  group  on 
Substance  Abuse  is  working  to  imple- 
ment these  goals  and  is  continuing  to 
promote  awareness  in  different  areas. 
The  group  has  worked  hard  to  avoid  get- 
ting its  cause  lost  in  the  bureaucracy  of 
its  programs  and  in  the  many  ideas  that 
are  suggested.  The  strength  of  the  group 
lies  in  its  seeing  the  need  to  continue 
promoting  awareness  as  well  as  in  ac- 
tively reaching  out  to  any  students,  fac- 
ulty, or  staff  who  could  possibly  have  an 
addictive  problem.  The  group's  goal  is 
not  to  hunt  for  such  persons  but  to  pro- 
mote education  and  the  appropriate  con- 
soling for  anyone  who  suffers  from  such 
an  addictive  disease.  Through  its  ideas 
and  continued  dedication,  the  group 
hopes  to  touch  many  people  on  campus.

"Conspiracy  of  silence"  is  a 
phrase  which  has  gained  increas- 
ing significance  since  it  was  first 
applied  as  a  definition  of  the  pub- 
lic situation  at  Millsaps  by  Bob 
Whitney,  the  Director  of  the 
Writing  Program,  in  an  article 
appearing  in  the  Writing  Center 
Newsletter.  Bob  pointed  out  that 
as  members  of  a  community,  we 
are  failing  to  carry  out  our  obli- 
gations which  involve  taking  a 
public  stand  when  conflicts  arise 
and  voicing  our  opinions,  howev- 
er discordant,  in  the  marketplace 
of  ideas. 

Further,  Bob  expressed  the 
fact  that  our  lives  as  students  at 
Millsaps  College  go  beyond  just 


making  the  grade.  How  can  we 
truly  glow  if  we  continue  to  ne- 
glect the  rich  learning  opportuni- 
ties which  surround  us?  Events 
such  as  Friday  Forums,  plays, 
lectures,  art  displays  and  films 
are  vital  to  our  education;  one's 
education  is  not  limited  to  the 
classroom.  These  activities  not 
only  affect  our  personal  growth 
but  also  help  us  to  make  connec- 
tions and  to  realize  our  commit- 
ment to  the  larger  world  that  ex- 
ists beyond  the  belltower  and  the 
iron  fence.  Let's  face  it;  the  lines 
"I  have  too  much  to  do,"  and  "I 
don't  have  enough  time"  grow 
old  fast. 
We  cannot  become  engaged  in 


the  world  beyond  Millsaps  if  we 
remain  indifferent  towards  seri- 
ous social  problems  which  affect 
us  on  our  own  campus.  Instances 
of  such  arresting  issues  have  ap- 
peared this  year  and  it  is  impera- 
tive that  students,  faculty,  staff 
and  administration  act  on  them 
in  order  to  promote  change.  For 
example,  problems  such  as  racial 
segregation  in  the  Friday  Stu- 
dent Program,  racial  separation 
in  the  Greek  system,  and  the  ex- 
tremely small  numbers  of  minor- 
ity student  and  faculty  are  ques- 
tions which  have  arisen  in  our 
own  academic  community  in  the 
past  few  semesters. 
Avoiding  public  discussion  of 


these  issues  serves  only  to  rein- 
force their  anchorage.  The  stu- 
dents can  be  instrumental  in 
breaking  the  spell  of  silence.  If 
the  majority  of  students  fail  to 
voice  their  views  and  to  act  on 
them,  they  have,  in  effect,  killed 
the  issue  and  any  chance  of  it's 
being  changed  for  the  better. 
Waiting  for  the  ominous,  author- 
ative  "they"  to  take  care  of  such 
situations  for  us  or  to  cover  our 
tracks  is  a  cop-out  and  doesn't  get 
anything  good  accomplished. 
Now,  it's  our  move.

The  purpose  of 
Millsaps  College, 
adopted  by  the 
faculty  and  Board 
of  Trustees,  states  that  the 
college  has  "as  its  primary 
aim  the  development  of  men 
and  women  for  responsible 
leadership  and  well-rounded 
service  to  their  fellow  man, 
their  country,  and  their 
God."  Many  may  wonder 
how  this  purpose  is  actual- 
ized in  our  lives;  the  average 
Millsaps  student  is  usually 
too  preoccupied  with  his  own 
affairs,  his  grades  or  friends 
to  give  any  time  in  service  to  his  fellow  man. 
Many  individuals  and  organizations  spon- 
sor projects  which  are  exemplary  of  the 
spirit  of  volunteerism  and  service.  The  cam- 
pus philanthropies  that  are  spotlighted  are 
just  a  touch  of  the  many  that  Millsaps  stu- 
dents and  faculty  participate  in;  the  impor- 
tance of  each  lies  in  the  fact  that  they  have 
concentrated  on  significant  social  issues 
which  affect  many  people  every  day. 

The  first  event  is  the  Lambda  Chi  Alpha 
Pantry  Raid.  This  annual  philanthropy  in- 
volves a  composite  of  individuals  from  so- 
rority women  to  members  of  the  Jackson 
area,  namely,  the  Mayor's  Youth  Council. 
The  goal  of  the  food  drive  project  is  to  col- 
lect canned  goods  and  other  foodstuffs  for 
the  needy  of  Jackson  during  the  Thanksgiv- 
ing season.  Like  drives  of  the  past,  this 
year's  was  a  distinct  success  with  a  record 
36,000  pounds  of  food  raised  for  the  Missis- 
sippi Food  Network.  These  18  tons  of  food 
provided  meals  for  over  27,350  needy  mem- 
bers of  the  Jackson  community  during 


Thanksgiving. 

The  drive  was  conducted 
on  the  days  of  November  3- 
6.  On  the  first  two  days,  gro- 
cery bags  were  distributed  to 
over  10,000  Jackson  area 
homes.  Citizens  of  Jackson 
were  asked  to  donate  several 
non-perishable  food  items 
and  to  leave  these  items  in  a 
bag  on  their  doorstep  to  be 
picked  up  on  the  collection 
days.  The  residents  of  Jack- 
son gave  generously  and,  by 
the  end  of  the  week,  over 
4,000  bags  of  food  had  been 
collected. 

The  Millsaps  community  is  aware  of  the 
hunger  problem  that  faces  Mississippi  and 
realizes  that  this  project  is  but  a  small  mea- 
sure to  combat  a  massive  problem. 

The  issue  of  AIDS  has  received  consider- 
able attention  at  Millsaps  over  the  past  few 
years.  Recently,  the  Campus  Ministry 
Team  sponsored  a  Friday  Forum  series  on 
the  issue  which  indicated  a  broad  concern 
about  the  issue.  This  year  Millsaps  gained  a 
chapter  of  Habitat  for  Humanity;  as  the 
group  was  looking  for  projects,  it  seemed 
again  appropriate  to  work  on  a  project  re- 
lated to  AIDS.  The  chapter  decided  to  con- 
centrate its  efforts  on  the  Sandifer  House, 
Jackson's  residence  for  persons  with  AIDS. 
Students  from  many  campus  organiza- 
tions joined  the  Campus  Ministry  Team's 
AIDS  task  group  in  several  weekends  of 
work  on  the  house.  In  addition  to  the  Habi- 
tat for  Humanity  and  AIDS  groups,  others 
who  gave  of  their  time  and  talents  were: 
members  of  the  Kappa  Alpha  Order,  Sigma 
Alpha  Epsilon  fraternity,  the  Education 
Ministry  of  the  Church  Class,  and  many

Other  interested  individuals.  Workers  were 
responsible  for  scraping  and  painting  the 
house.  The  project  was  a  visible  statement 
on  the  part  of  Millsaps  students  and  faculty 
of  their  concern  about  the  epidemic  and  the 
need  for  an  understanding  response  of  those 
with  AIDS. 

Another  example  of  the  Millsaps'  re- 
sponse to  the  needs  of  others  is  the  help  that 
many  students,  faculty  and  staff  gave  to  the 
Fellowship  of  Hope  Church  in  Macon,  Mis- 
sissippi. 

On  August  29,  1989,  the  Fellowship  of 
Hope  Church,  an  interracial  congregation, 
was  the  victim  of  arson.  This  event  was  sig- 
nificant not  only  because  of  the  injustice 
served  to  the  Church  but  also  because  it 
raised  questions  about  the  degree  of  change 
in  racist  ideology  which  so  strongly  charac- 
terized Mississippi  years  ago.  Considerable 
attention  nationally  was  focused  on  the 
event  and  many  Mississippians,  including 
several  Millsapians,  answered  the  attention 
by  acting  to  help  the  church's  members. 

Groups  and  individuals  from  around  the 
state  converged  on  October  1  to  raze  the 
charred  structure  and  worked  again  in 
weekends  of  March  of  1989  to  rebuild  the 
church.  Millsaps  students,  faculty  and  staff 
participated  in  both  sessions. 

In  the  context  of  the  recent  release  of  the 
film  "Mississippi  Burning,"  participation 
was  intended  to  communicate  the  existence 
of  a  strong  commitment  to  creating  an  in- 
clusive attitude  in  the  state.  The  involve- 
ment of  such  a  large  group  of  Mississippi- 
ans in  response  to  the  burning  of  this  church 
is  an  answer  to  the  questions  that  were 
raised  nationally  about  the  church's  burn- 
ing.

The  Adult  Degree  Pro- 
gram at  Millsaps  was  estab- 
lished in  1981  when  the  Col- 
lege received  a  grant  to  de- 
velop a  program  especially 
designed  for  the  adult  stu- 
dent. The  grant  has  had  pro- 
found effects  on  many  tradi- 
tional and  non-traditional 
students.  Currently,  there 
are  75-80  adults  that  and  are 
working  towards  a  degree. 
Despite  the  special  sacrifices 
that  accompany  an  adult 
student,  the  rewards  of  an 
undergraduate  degree  far 
outweigh  any  hardships  it 
takes  to  earn  a  Millsaps  di- 
ploma. 

The  Adult  Degree  Pro- 
gram meets  the  needs  of 
adults  24  years  of  age  or  older  who,  because 
of  work  or  family  responsibilities,  cannot 
attend  college  in  the  traditional  fashion. 
Before  1981,  there  was  no  structured  for- 
mat, consoling,  or  scheduling  to  meet  the 
needs  of  an  adult  seeking  a  degree.  The 
grant  allowed  Millsaps  to  get  in  touch  with 
other  colleges  which  had  developed  pro- 
grams especially  for  adult  students.  Harry- 
lyn  Sallis,  an  assistant  Dean  of  Adult 
Learning  and  the  Director  of  the  Adult  De- 
gree Program,  commented  that  she  worked 
with  various  faculty  and  administrative 
members  to  establish  faculty  development 
seminars  on  flexible  schedules,  individual 
consoling  and  a  more  overall  formal  pro- 
gram. By  February  of  1981,  the  Board  of 
Trustees  approved  the  Bachelor  of  Liberal 
Studies  degree  for  non-traditional  students. 
The  program  features  individual  academic 
advising,  an  introductory  seminar  which  is 
required  for  all  adults,  evaluation  of  pre- 
vious college  work  that  includes  credit  for 
prior  learning,  and  an  opportunity  for  inde- 
pendent directed  study.  The  progam  has 
been  an  an  immense  help  to  adults  who  wish 
to  return  to  college  or  to  begin  their  higher 
education.  Furthermore,  it  is  significant 
that  Millsaps  is  graduating  sixteen  adults 
this  May,  two  of  which  earned  membership 
in  Millsaps'  chapter  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa. 

One  may  wonder  why  an  adult  would 
enter  the  demanding  world  of  college  when 
he  or  she  already  has  a  very  busy  life.  Sallis 
decided  that  for  some  people  in  their  20s  or 
30s,  an  undergraduate  degree  is  "upward 
mobility  in  the  job  market."  A  degree  from 
Millsaps  could  greatly  advance  someone  in 
his  career  since  most  businesses  currently 
stress  the  importance  of  being  able  to  think 
critically,  to  write  and  to  make  sound  judg- 
ments. For  the  older  students,  a  college 
education  can  give  one  personal  satisfaction 
as  well;  this  can  be  especially  true  for  the 


women  seeking  a  diploma. 
Many  of  these  women  grew 
up  in  the  Great  Depression 
and  did  not  go  to  college  al- 
though their  brothers  or  hus- 
bands were  able  to  do  so 
more  easily.  The  statistics  on 
adult  students  emphasizes 
their  desire  for  self-improve- 
ment through  education:  "In 
1987,  more  than  5.2  million 
Americans  aged  25  or  older 
were  enrolled  in  college." 
These  students  are  pursuing 
a  degree  for  personal  enrich- 
ment, career  upgradement, 
or  for  a  chance  at  dual  em- 
ployment in  marriage. 

Sallis  balances  the  re- 
wards of  an  undergraduate 
degree  with  the  sacrifices 
that  adults  must  endure  to  achieve  their 
diploma.  For  example,  non-traditional  stu- 
dents quickly  learn  that  much  of  college  life 
is  geared  to  meeting  the  needs  of  the  tradi- 
tional student  rather  than  the  adult.  For  the 
older  student,  this  means  that  they  must 
pay  careful  attention  to  directed  study  pro- 
grams and  academic  consoling.  One  of  the 
hardest  problems  accompanying  most  older 
students  is  that  they  must  be  mindful  of 
their  spouses  because  so  much  time  is  now 
targeted  on  schoolwork  when  it  was  pre- 
viously concentrated  on  the  family.  The 
majority  of  adult  students  are  extremely 
focused  and  disciplined  because  of  these 
factors.  In  fact,  they  have  some  of  the  high- 
est GPAs  and  more  dedication  than  tradi- 
tional students.  This  is  so  also  because  they 
can  truly  appreciate  their  education  and 
value  its  worth  more  highly  than  traditional 
students. 

Another  Millsaps  adult  student  is  June 
Stevens  who  is  also  quite  active  in  adult 
learning  in  her  position  as  Assistant  Direc- 
tor of  the  Adult  Degree  Program.  Stevens 
will  be  graduating  this  May  with  a  B.L.S. 
in  Classical  Studies.  For  Stevens,  the  "per- 
sonal satisfaction  of  completing  a  degree" 
has  been  a  primary  reward  of  returning  to 
college.  Like  many  other  adult  students, 
Stevens  has  seen  that  she  is  more  motivated 
because  she  so  values  her  education  and 
also  because  she  can  relate  her  experiences 
to  her  studies. 

It  has  become  a  trend  for  adults  to  return 
to  college  and  their  returning  has  benefited 
themselves  and  the  traditional  students. 
The  dedication  of  adults  is  a  shining  exam- 
ple for  all  students  to  take  notice  of  and  to 
emulate.  To  many  adults,  their  undergrad- 
uate education  rewards  them  with  a  person- 
al satisfaction  that  can  make  them  a  more 
complete  person.

Founders'  Day 

In  1989,  Millsaps  celebrated  its  annu- 
al Founders'  Weekend  with  a  taste  of 
the  old  and  an  even  better  taste  of  the 
new.  Founders'  Weekend  is  basically 
an  event  which  annually  celebrates  the  tra- 
ditions of  Millsaps  and  sets  the  future  goals 
of  the  college.  This  year,  a  new  era  was 
established  at  Millsaps  with  the  installation 
of  the  Mississippi  Alpha  chapter  of  Phi 
Beta  Kappa.  Although  this  was  a  main 
theme  throughout  the  weekend,  many  other 
important  events  occurred. 

The  first  Greek  letter  society,  Phi  Beta 
Kappa,  which  established  such  characteris- 
tics as  a  seal,  initiation  rites,  and  a  law  code, 
has  enhanced  the  Millsaps  Community. 
The  college's  long  and  stressful  process  of 
acquiring  a  chapter  since  1931  was  finally 
accomplished  and  honored.  The  convoca- 
tion address  was  given  by  Dr.  Otis  Single- 
tary,  a  Millsaps  alumnus  and  former  presi- 
dent of  the  University  of  Kentucky.  Dr. 
Singletary,  the  current  president  of  the  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  society,  spoke  not  only  of  the 
importance  of  a  liberal  arts  education  but 
also  of  the  "unique  atmosphere"  of  Mill- 
saps. 

In  addition  to  this  historical  milestone, 
Millaps  started  off  its  Founders"  Weekend 
with  a  Friday  Forum  given  by  Dr.  W.  R. 
Cleere,  who  is  Mississippi's  commissioner 
of  higher  education.  He  discussed  such  to- 
pics as  the  demographics  of  the  situation, 
the  financing  of  higher  education  and  the 
great  faculty  shortage  of  the  1990's.  Dr. 
Cleere's  "visionary  leadership"  was  instru- 
mental in  such  fields  as  developing  new 
minimal  admission  standards  for  all  col- 
leges as  well  as  universities  throughout 
Georgia's  education  system  and  helping 
these  institutions  of  higher  learning  to  re- 
ceive the  largest  budget  increases  in  history 
during  the  1988  legislative  session. 

The  weekend  got  off  to  a  strong  start  and 
was  followed  by  the  Founders'  dinner  which 
included  an  address  by  Phi  Beta  Kappa  ini- 
tiate Dr.  Gwin  Kolb,  an  expert  in  Eigh- 
teenth century  literature  as  well  as  a  profes- 
sor of  Humanities  at  the  University  of  Chi- 
cago. Also  included  during  the  festivities 
was  the  presentation  of  the  Distinguished 
Professor  Award  to  Dr.  Lee  Reiff.  The 
Alumnus  of  the  Year  was  given  to  Rever- 
end Homer  Ellis  Spangler,  Jr.  who  was  a 
past  president  of  Millsaps  for  twelve  years 
(1952-1964).  He  commented  on  his  in- 
credible life  and  how  Millsaps  was  such  a 
large  part  of  it. 

The  overall  theme  of  Founders'  Weekend 
was  the  dedication  of  our  past  leadership 
which  has  set  the  course  for  Millsaps  not 
only  into  1989,  but  towards  a  future  as  an 
enlightened  community.

The  1989  Student 
Symposium  on 
"Soviet-American 
Relations:  The  Ef- 
fect of  Glasnos- 
tand  Perestroika"  was  held  on 
January  twenty-fifth  and  twen- 
ty-sixth. The  topic  focused  on 
the  apparent  opening  of  the  So- 
viet Union  and  the  consequential 
international  positions  of  the  So- 
viet Union. 

Symposium  opened  with  Dr. 
Thomas  H.  Naylor's  speech, 
"Overview  on  Glasnost  and  Per- 
estroika."  Naylor   is  currently 
professor  of  Economics  at  Duke 
University  and   Managing  Di- 
rector of  the  Naylor  Group. 
Naylor  discussed  the  perpetuation  of  reform  in  the 
Soviet  Union  with  or  without  Gorbachev,  because 
the  forces  that  began  the  reforms  existed  indepen- 
dently of  Gorbachev. 

Naylor  stated  that  the  reasons  for  cynicism  in 
the  United  States  concerning  Soviet  Reform  cen- 
ter around  the  influence  of  the  American  Sovieto- 
logists that  are  often  biased  minorities.  He  remind- 
ed his  audience  that,  "While  they  certainly  have 
legitimate  grievances,  they  represent  a  biased 
point  of  view  and  should  not  be  permitted  to  dictate 
U.S.  foreign  policy." 

Dr.  F.  Jackson  Piotrow  continued  Student  Sym- 
posium with  his  lecture,  "Glasnost:  The  American 
Point  of  View."  Piotrow  is  the  professor  of  Soviet 
Studies  and  the  School  of  International  Service  of 
the  American  University  in  Washington,  D.C.  He 
believes  that  Gorbachev  is  secure  in  his  domestic 
and  international  image  and  that  his  popularity 
is  growing.  Piotrow  cautioned  the  United  States 


against  staunch  ideology  and 
urged  both  nations  to  continue 
arms  reduction.  The  inconsis- 
tency of  the  political  ideologies 
of  the  U.S.S.R.  and  the  United 
States  is  the  source  of  their  con- 
flict, according  to  Piotrow.  He 
felt  that  these  inconsistencies 
should  be  bridged  to  combat  dif- 
ferent international  problems. 
Piotrow  commented  that,  "Coo- 
peration must  win  over  ideology 
biased  viewpoints." 

Presenting  "Glasnost:  The 
Soviet  Point  of  View"  was  Ser- 
guei  Kislak,  Counselor  of  Arms 
Control  Affairs  at  the  Soviet 
Embassy  in  Washington.  He  de- 
fined perestroika  as  'reconstruc- 
tion' and  mentioned  that  its  fo- 
cus was  economic  and  political  reform.  He  added 
that  glasnost,  meaning  'New  Thinking'  or  new 
openness,  has  secured  itself  in  the  Soviet  Union.  As 
for  Soviet  forerign  policy,  Kislack  remarked,  "We 
want  cooperation,  we  will  not  beg  for  it."  In  agree- 
ment with  Piotrow,  he  cited  the  need  for  continued 
arms  reduction. 

In  addition  to  these  lectures,  a  forum  on  Soviet- 
American  relations  was  held.  Friekhik  Begel- 
macher.  Beglemacher  is  a  Russian  Immigrant  cur- 
rently teaching  ballet  for  Jackson  public  schools. 
The  1989  Student  Symposium  at  Millsaps  was 
effective  because  it  provided  the  Millsaps  Commu- 
nity with  different  International  positions  on  glas- 
nost and  perestroika.  Perhaps  the  presentation  of 
these  viewpoints  helped  to  eliminate  unfounded 
bias  and  provided  helpful  information  concerning 
the  Soviet  influence  and  U.S.  reaction  to  Soviet 
reform.

Students  at  Millsaps 
College  and  mem- 
bers of  the  Jackson 
community  are  for- 
tunate in  that  the  College  is 
so  dedicated  in  providing  a 
variety  of  cultural  and  intel- 
lectual programs.  One  of  the 
most  well  attended  and  im- 
portant of  these  programs  is 
the  Friday  Forum  Series,  a 
weekly  enrichment 

series  with  topics  ranging  from  education  to 
astronomy.  The  presentations  are  funded 
and  planned  by  the  Public  Events  Commit- 
tee, a  diligent  group  composed  of  students 


and  faculty  members  who 
work  semesters  in  advance  to 
obtain  the  best  speakers  and 
topics  for  discussion.  Each 
Friday  Forum  is  free  and 
open  to  the  public.

For  many  years  in 
the  past,  Mill- 
saps  enjoyed  the 
Chi  Omega 
Songfest  competition  as  a 
highlight  of  every  Spring 
semester.  The  competi- 
tion was  a  chance  for  the 
Greek  organizations  and 
the  Independents  to  show- 
case their 
vocal  talent.  The  Songfest  was  revived 
this  year  and  received  well  by  an  over- 
flowing Recital  Hall  audience.  This 
year,  Songfest  was  organized  to  be  a 
fund  raiser  for  Millsaps'  chapter  of 
Habitat  for  Humanity. 

The  competition  between  the  Greek 
organizations  resulted  in  an  evening  of 
entertainment  for  the  entire  Millsaps 
campus.  A  central  committee  planned 
the  Songfest,  inviting  each  Greek  soror- 
ity or  fraternity  to  participate  in  the 
competition.  Each  member  of  the  audi- 
ence was  charged  a  dollar  for  admission 
and  all  of  the  proceeds  went  to  Habitat. 
Prizes  were  given  to  the  top  three  acts:  Pi 
Kappa  Alpha  won  first  place  with  their 
performance  of  "Let  It  Be";  Kappa  Del- 
ta received  the  second  place  prize  for  "In 
This  Very  Room"  and  "He's  Not 


Heavy";  and  Chi  Omega 
was  rewarded  with  third 
place  for  thier  cheerful 
medley  complete  with  50s 
costumes. 

Most  of  the  partici- 
pants may  not  have  been 
aware  of  the  importance 
of  Habitat  for  Humanity. 
Habitat  is  an  ecumenical, 
grass-roots  ministry  with 
the  goal  of  eliminating  poverty  housing. 
It  hopes  to  make  shelter  a  matter  of  con- 
science so  that  there  will  be  no  more 
shacks  and  no  more  homeless  people 
sleeping  on  city  streets.  Habitat's  solu- 
tion to  housing  revolves  around  building 
homes  with  volunteer  labor  and  donated 
materials.  THe  cost  of  the  home  is  re- 
paid over  a  fixed  time  period  and  the 
payments  are  recycled  to  build  more 
homes.  Furthermore,  homeowners  are 
required  to  help  build  their  homes.  Each 
project  attempts  to  transcend  the  bound- 
aries of  culture,  status  and  race  by  work- 
ing towards  a  common  goal.  Indeed,  it 
has  proven  to  be  a  successful  program 
with  far-reraching  implications.

It's  al- 

w  a  y  s 


one  of  the  most  anticipat- 
ed events  of  the  year,  but 
it  was  even  more  popular 
this  year  due  to  the  di- 
verse schedule  of  activities.  The  weekend 
began  Thursday,  April  20  with  Millsaps 
students  and  faculty  displaying  their  tal- 
ents to  a  packed  Recital  Hall  in  the  Sec- 
ond Annual  Talent  Show.  On  Friday  the 
prospective  freshmen  got  their  first 
"taste"  of  Millsaps  with  the  crawfish 
boil  in  the  bowl,  and  later  that  evening 
Millsaps  was  treated  to  a  show  unfamil- 
iar to  most,  Greek  stepping.  Sponsored 
by  the  Anti-  Apartheid  Awareness  Task 
Group  of  the  Campus  Ministry  Team 
and  Alpha  Phi  Alpha,  the  stepping  con- 
sisted of  Greeks  from  Tougaloo,  Jackson 
State,  and  Alcorn  State  showing  their 
pride  in  their  fraternities  and  sororities 
by  dancing  and  rapping.  This  busy  day 
was  capped  off  by  Chapter  Two,  an  ener- 
getic band  who  rocked  the  bowl  all  night. 
Saturday  was  taken  up  with  sorority 
teas  and  the  annual  volleyball  tourna-

ment  as  well  as  a  tug  of 
war  which  resulted  in 
some  interesting  mat- 
chups. The  day's  activi- 
ties were  only  a  prelude  to 
that  night's  party  at  Hal 
and  Mai's,  which  every- 
one was  looking  forward 
to.  Starting  off  the  even- 
ing was  a  very  fine  Dixieland  jazz  band 
which  warmed  everyone  up  for  the  main 
attraction,  the  Neville  Brothers.  The 
Nevilles  are  certainly  one  of  the  most 
popular  bands  that  Millsaps  has  had  and 
during  their  show  they  proved  that  they 
are  one  of  the  best  bands  ever  to  play  for 
Millsaps.  The  popularity  of  the  Nevilles 
can  be  judged  by  the  large  faculty  atten- 
dance which  truly  made  this  evening  an 
event  for  the  entire  Millsaps  community. 
After  a  very  hectic  weekend,  every- 
one's attention  turned  to  the  end  of  the 
year  and  exams,  having  had  one  last 
fling  and  showing  the  prospective  stu- 
dents what  Millsaps  has  to  offer.  The 
weekend  was  a  great  success  and  every- 
one involved  deserves  praise  for  their 
hard  work  in  making  this  year's  Major 
Madness  another  memorable  event,

annual 
Talent 
Show 


Talent 
Show 


was  the  beginning  of  a 
very  busy  and  exciting 
Major  Madness.  The  Tal- 
ent Show  is  a  unique  event 
in  that  not  only  do  faculty, 
staff  and  students  participate,  but  a  vast 
display  of  undiscovered  talent  is  also 
demonstrated.  The  Spirit  Committee 
was  responsible  for  overseeing  the  event 
and  was  quite  successful  in  producing  a 
program  which  unified  Millsaps  stu- 
dents, faculty  and  staff  in  an  evening  of 
fun  and  entertainment. 

The  masters  of  ceremony,  Mark  Mays 
and  Jay  Ciaccio,  led  the  packed  Recital 
Hall  audience  in  between  the  acts  and 
greatly  added  to  the  easy-going  atmo- 
sphere. Dr.  Steve  Smith  started  the 
evening  off  with  two  pieces  he  had  com- 
posed himself.  Dr.  Smith,  the  only  facul- 
ty member  to  participate,  greatly  im- 
pressed the  audience  with  his  tunes  and 
received  a  well-  deserved  standing  ova- 
tion. Following  Dr.  Smith  were  several 
soloists  who  performed  pieces  varying 
from  Simon  and  Garfunkel  to  medleys  of 
rock  and  roll.  The  Grail  Seekers,  an  act- 
ing group,  gained  an  honorable  mention 
with  their  miscellaneous  Monty  Python

skits.  Another  comedy  act 
was  by  Pat  Bunch,  who 
delivered  a  stand-up  rou- 
tine to  a  cheering  audi- 
ence. The  third-place 
winner,  Edward  Benson, 
sang  "At  this  Moment"  in 
such  a  delicate  but  power- 
ful voice;  he  impressed  the 
audience  and  the  shows 
judges  greatly.  Eight  Hits  and  a  Miss 
performed  in  a  barber-shop  fashion  and 
was  rewarded  by  the  judges  with  a  sec- 
ond-place prize.  The  first  place  winner 
was  Paul  Case  who  sang  and  played  the 
guitar  to  two  songs  that  he  and  his  broth- 
er composed:  "Love  Will  Last"  and 
"You  Are  Not  Alone."  These  two  pieces 
brought  raves  from  the  audience.  Each 
of  the  acts  exhibited  the  performer's  spe- 
cial talents  and  are  exemplary  of  the 
many  hidden  talents  that  Millsaps  stu- 
dents and  faculty  possess. 

The  Talent  Show  is  a  wonderful  ex- 
hibit of  Millsaps  talent  in  an  easygoing 
atmosphere.  It  is  a  perfect  event  to  begin 
Major  Madness  as  students  and  prospec- 
tive freshmen  get  excited  about  an  up- 
coming busy  weekend.  The  Show  is  also 
exemplary  of  the  types  of  campus-wide 
events  that  ought  to  be  more  the  norm  on 
campus,

The  Millsaps 
Players  began 
their  88-89  sea- 
son with  a  pro- 
duction of  Christopher 
Fry's  "The  Lady's  Not 
For  Burning."  Perfor- 
mances were  held  in  the 
Christian  Center  Audito- 
rium from  October  4-9. 
This  poetic  comedy  in- 
volved a  cast  of  eleven 
Millsaps  students  who 
journey  through  a  plot  of  humor  and  po- 
etry. 

Thomas  Mendip,  played  by  Seth  Hol- 
liday,  is  a  discharged  soldier  who  is  wea- 
ry of  the  world  and  romancing  thoughts 
of  suicide.  He  comes  to  a  small  town  and 
announces  that  he  has  committed  at 
least  one  murder,  and  then  demands  that 
the  mayor  of  the  town  help  to  get  him 
hanged.  Thomas  is  a  philosophical  hu- 
morist and  is  annoyed  when  town  offi- 
cials refuse  his  request  to  be  hanged.  It 


seems  that  the  officials  do 
not  believe  that  Thomas  is 
guilty.  Shortly  afterward, 
a  young  girl.  Jennet  Jan- 
demayne,  played  by  Lisa 
D'Amour,  is  brought  be- 
fore the  mayor  having 
been  charged  with  witch- 
craft. Oddly  enough,  she 
has  no  desire  to  be  burnt 
at  the  stake.  Thomas  trys 
to  prove  to  town  officials 
how  absurd  it  would  be  to 
refuse  to  hang  a  man  who  wishes  to  die, 
while  at  the  same  time  killing  an  attrac- 
tive young  lady  who  has  no  death  wish 
and  to  Thomas  appears  innocent.  Unlike 
Thomas,  Jennet  values  her  life  and 
fights  for  her  right  to  live. 

Ultimately,  Thomas  and  Jennet  fall  in 
love  and  both  avoid  death.  The  lady  is 
granted  her  wish  and  Thomas  finds 
someone  to  care  for,  thereby  giving  him 
a  good  reason  to  live.

A  Bequest  to  the  Nation 


"A  Bequest  to  the  Nation"  is 
the  embellished  story  of  the  fi- 
nal weeks  of  Admiral  Horatio 
Nelson's  life.  Written  by  Sir 
Terence  Rattigan,  the  play  ran 
at  Millsaps  from  March  2  to 
March  5,  1989.  With  a  cast  of 
nineteen,  the  play  was  the  larg- 
est production  of  the  year. 

The  plot  centers  around  the 
inner  conflict  felt  within  Admi- 
ral Nelson  (played  by  Donald 
Smith).  When  the  play  begins. 
Nelson  has  already  left  his  wife, 
Frances  Nelson  (played  by 
Shelley  Lose)  and  is  living  with 
his  mistress.  Lady  Hamilton 
(played  by   Becky   Baker). 


While  all  of  England  questions 
Lady  Hamilton's  status  as  a 
"lady,"  Lord  Nelson  remains 
steadfastly  in  love  with  her. 
Even  though  he  loves  her  and  no 
longer  loves  his  wife.  Nelson  is 
torn  between  the  two.  Love 
binds  him  to  Lady  Hamilton, 
while  responsibility  and  honor 
binds  him  to  Viscountess  Nel- 
son. 

Frances  Nelson  charges  Lord 
Nelson's  nephew,  George 
(played  by  fourteen  year-old 
Jackson  APAC  student,  Daniel 
Joyner)  to  deliver  a  letter  to 
Lord  Nelson  during  George's 
upcoming  visit  to  his  uncle.  By 


delivering  the  letter,  George 
acts  as  the  catalyst  that  causes 
Lord  Nelson  to  resolve  his  po- 
larized feelings. 

Meanwhile,  Admiral  Nelson 
returns  to  joyous  crowds  after 
spending  two  years  aboard  the 
Victory,  his  flagship.  It  is  now 
that  we  learn  of  his  plans  to  at- 
tack the  French  navy  and  gain 
control  of  the  sea.  With  Captain 
Hardy  (Paul  Burgess)  leading 
the  attack,  the  outnumbered 
British  fleet  would  take  on  the 
French,  and  by  following  Nel- 
son's plan,  they  would  be  victo- 
rious. 

Before  the  attack  can  occur. 


George  visits  Lady  Hamilton 
and  Lord  Nelson.  The  letter  is 
given,  and  fireworks  erupt.  In 
the  end,  Nelson  confronts  his 
feelings  and  comes  to  a  conclu- 
sion. He,  himself,  will  lead  the 
attack  even  though  he  would 
probably  be  killed  during  the 
battle.  The  chances  for  survival 
for  anyone  aboard  Victory 
would  be  slim  because  two 
year's  worth  of  barnacle  growth 
makes  a  ship  slow  and  an  easy 
target.  He  also  makes  a  bequest 
to  the  nation:  to  have  the  state 
provide  for  the  livelihood  of 
Lady  Hamilton  upon  his  death,

The  Millsaps  Players  second 
play,  "Ghosts,"  is  a  provoca- 
tive drama  written  by  Henrik 
Ibsen.  "Ghosts"  theme  deals 
with  a  complex  subject  of  parental  influ- 
ence on  their  children  —  both  directly 
and  indirectly.  It  emphasizes  the  point 
that  children  inherit  the  qualities  and 
shortcomings  of  their  parents.  "Ghosts" 
also  deals  with  typically  taboo  subjects 
such  as  venereal  diseases  and  incest.  The 
play  is  a  popular  drama  and  is  a  pinnacle 
in  the  history  of  dramatic  composition. 

The  play  opens  with  the 
widowed  Mrs.  Alving, 
played  by  Marion  Ben- 
son, awaiting  the  arrival 
of  her  son  Oswald  (Rich- 
ard Read).  Oswald  is  re- 
turning home  for  the 
dedication  of  an  orphan- 
age which  was  built  in 
honor  of  his  father's 
memory.  He  flirts  with 
Regina,  a  maid  in  Mrs. 
Alving's  home.  Regina 
turns  out  to  be  his  father's 
illegitimate  daughter. 
The  orphanage  burns 
down  and  Regina  flees  in 
disgust  when  she  learns 
the  truth  about  her  par- 
entage. During  the  play, 
Mrs.  Alving  must  contend  with  the  mor- 
al preaching  she  receives  from  Pastor 
Manders  (John  Jabaley).  In  the  end, 
Mrs.  Alving  is  left  alone  to  care  for  her 
helplessly  insane  son,  who  has  fallen 
prey  to  the  social  disease  which  killed  his 
father. 

"Ghosts"  is  one  of  a  handful  of  world 
dramas  that  changed  the  world's  literary 
landscape.  When  the  play  was  initially 
published  in  1881,  the  response  was 
overwhelmingly  negative  and  the  press 
almost  destroyed  any  positive  aspects 
the  play  might  have.  In  the  country  of 
Scandinavia  it  was  morally  banned  be- 
cause it  was  dealing  with  subjects  which 
could  be  not  decently  discussed. 

What  were  once  Victorian  taboos  — 
incest  and  venereal  disease  —  have  long 
been  destroyed,  but  the  underlying  mor- 
al thought  involves  a  radical  perspective 
for  the  audience.  To  ignore  our  true  roots 
and  true  impulses  will  tend  to  develop  a 
vengeance  that  can  devastate  our  future 
generations. 


"I  think  we  are 
living  ghosts.  It 
isn't  just  our  in- 
heritance from 
our  fathers  and 
mothers  that 
walk  in  us.  It  is 
all  kinds  of  dead 
ideas  and  all 
kinds  of  old  and 
obsolete  beliefs 
that  live  there, 
too." 

Mrs.  Alving 


Of  particular  interest  with  this  pro- 
duction are  the  character  involvement 
between  Pastor  Mandors  and  Mrs.  Alv- 
ing. Many  years  ago  when  the  two  were 
younger,  Mrs.  Alving  loved  the  pastor. 
He  repressed  any  feelings  of  love  for  her 
and  demanded  that  she  concentrate  on 
her  husband  and  the  commitment  that 
she  had  to  him.  This  highlights  a  con- 
stant tension  of  unfulfillable  relation- 
ships throughout  the  play.  Another  ex- 
ample of  this  tension  is  between  Oswald 
and  Regina,  who  are  romantically  inter- 
ested in  each  other  but  the 
fate  of  their  parentage  has 
dictated  that  they  can 
never  truly  be  together. 
The  ghosts  of  Oswald's 
father  and  his  mistress, 
Regina's  mother,  live 
through  the  two  of  them 
as  their  relationship  ulti- 
mately ends  up  in  bitter- 
ness. 

"Ghosts"  turned  out  to 
be  a  particularly  interest- 
ing and  enthralling  play 
for  Millsaps  College.  It 
enjoyed  a  successful  run 
during  November  15-19 
and  November  20th, 
1988.

Misalliance 


The  Millsaps  Players  ended  their  65th 
season  with  George  Bernard  Shaw's 
comedy,  "Misalliance."  Set  in  England, 
1 909,  in  the  country  estate  of  upper  mid- 
dle-class merchant  John  Tarleton,  the 
play  centers  around  the  Tarleton  family 
—  in  particular,  John  Tarleton  (Paul 
Burgess),  and  his  daughter  Hypatia 
(Jennifer  Mautrerer).  Tarleton  is  a  man 
who  enjoys  discussions.  He  is 
a  well  read  man  and  follows 
each  idea  with  an  author  to 
support  him.  Hypatia  is  a  re- 
bellious youth  who  desires 
the  thrills  of  adventure  and 
laments  the  dullness  of  end- 
less debate  and  the  "proper" 
life  she  is  forced  to  lead.  She 
is  engaged  to  Bentley  (Don- 
ald Smith),  the  son  of  Lord 
Summerhayes  (John  Jabaley),  an  aristo- 
crat. Bentley  is  a  coward  who  throws 
tantrums  when  he  doesn't  get  his  way. 
Mrs.  Tarleton  (Marion  Benson)  is  a 
pleasant  wife  who  enjoys  offering  tea 
and  sympathy  to  any  and  all.  She  warns 
her  daughter  of  the  "horrors"  of  min- 
gling with  ladies  of  the  aristocracy  who 
talk  about  such  "improper"  things  as 
plumbing  and  central  heating. 

The  "tranquility"  of  the  quiet  week- 


end in  the  country  is  suddenly  interrupt- 
ed by  the  airplane  crash  of  two  young 
pilots:  an  old  school  chum  of  Bentley's, 
Joseph  Percival  (Douglas  Mitchell)  and 
a  Polish  woman  acrobat,  Lina  Szczepan- 
owska  (Shani  Hedden).  The  women  are 
shocked  that  Lina  is  wearing  pants  and 
doesn't  have  a  dress  to  change  into  for 
dinner.  The  men,  on  the  other  hand,  are 
enchanted  with  Lina.  Once  the  guests 
are  shown  to  their  rooms,  a  Mr.  Gunner 
(David  Laird)  arrives  to  kill  Mr.  Tarle- 
ton. Apparently  he  had  an  affair  with 
Gunner's  mother  and  left  her 
in  her  misery.  Lina  foils  the 
murder  attempt  and  it  is  dis- 
covered that  Hypatia  has 
fallen  for  Joey.  Everyone  at- 
tempts to  cover  up  the  facts, 
but  Mrs.  Tarleton  knew 
about  Gunner's  mother  and 
takes  the  boy's  side.  Mean- 
while, the  two  fathers  and 
their  sons  have  propositioned 
Lina.  John  Tarleton,  Jr.  (Clifton  Jeffer- 
ies),  has  even  asked  her  to  marry  him. 
Lina  is  the  only  one  among  them  who  has 
any  common  sense.  She  tells  everyone  a 
few  "home  truths"  and  decides  to  take 
Bentley  away  with  her  in  the  Aeroplane. 
Since  the  play  was  originally  entitled  "A 
Debate  in  One  Sitting,"  the  play  appro- 
priately ends  with  nothing  left  to  say.

Biloxi  Blues 


Neil  Simon's  com- 
edy, "Biloxi 
Blues"  was  per- 
formed by  the 
Millsaps  players  as  the  sum- 
mer play  of  1988.  "Biloxi 
Blues"  received 
the  1985  Tony 
Award  for  the 
'Best  Play'  and 
was  also  made  into 
a  popular  movie. 
Simon  depicts  the 
second  part  of  the 
life  of  his  alter- 
ego,  Eugene  Mor- 
ris Jerome  (Rich- 
ard Read),  in  his 
drama  about  his 
life  as  an  army  re- 
cruit set  in  1945 
towards  the  end  of 
World  War  Two. 
Simon  first  intro- 
duced Eugene  to 
his  audiences  in 
"Brighton  Beach 
Memoirs."  Eu- 
gene's life  contin- 
ued in  Biloxi,  Mississippi 
during  basic  training  with 
five  other  recruits  (Larry 
Oggs,  Ernie  Cook,  Lance 
Waycaster,  Adam  Plier,  Mi- 
chael King).  Together  they 
endure  many  hardships. 
Topping  the  list  is  a  hard- 


nosed  drill  instructor,  Sar- 
gent Merwin  J.  Toomey 
(John  Jabaley).  Other  tasks 
to  be  conquered  by  the  six 
men  included  eating  in  the 
mess  hall,  surviving  the  swel- 
tering Mississippi 
heat  and  humid- 
ity, and  visiting  a 
prostitute  (Char- 
mion  Gustke).  Eu- 
gene, on  the  other 
hand,  ends  up  fall- 
ing in  love  with 
Daisy  Hannigan 
(Lynn  Gieger).  As 
Eugene  matures 
through  these  ex- 
cursions he  learns 
valuable  lessons 
about  life  and  fur- 
ther develops  his 
"Writer's  Sensibi- 
lity." He  is  con- 
tinuously updat- 
ing his  personal 
journal  with  re- 
flections upon 
these  new  exper- 
iences. Not  being  able  to  go 
and  fight,  and  with  his  basic 
military  training  over  with, 
Eugene  leaves  Biloxi  antici- 
pating the  addition  of  more 
"chapters"  to  his  ever-rich 
life.

Independents 


The  independent's  sports  teams  played  impor- 
tant roles  during  the  intramural  season,  tying  for 
first  place  in  outdoor  soccer  and  then  moving 
inside  to  tie  for  first  place  again  in  B  league  bas- 
ketball. But  our  year  was  not  filled  just  with 
sports;  the  singing  group,  The  Grail  Seekers,  won 
an  honorable  mention  at  the  talent  show.  But  we 
also  refused  to  stop  at  singing,  and  decided  to 
throw  the  first  annual  Booze  and  Blues  party  at 
T-2.  The  parties  continued  with  a  massive  road 
trip  to  New  Orleans  during  Mardi  Gras.  It  still 
doesn't  seem  possible  that  we  squeezed  that  many 
people  into  that  little  room,  but  a  great  time  was 
had  by  all  that  went.  The  year  ended  with  a  mas- 
sive pilgramage  to  see  Bill  and  Ted's  Excellent 
Adventure,  followed  by  a  pizza  party  at  Gary's. 
We  hope  to  continue  the  traditions  next  year  and 
have  a  great  time.

AKA 


Alpha  Kappa  Alpha  was  founded  at 
Howard  University  in  Washington, 
D.C.,  in  January  1908.  This  sorority  for 
outstanding  women  was  started  by  Ethel 
Lyles  and  has  grown  from  the  original  1 6 
members  to  over  100,000  members  in- 
ternationally. The  purpose  of  this  soror- 
ity is  to  cultivate  and  encourage  high 
scholastic,  social,  and  community 
achievements  and  to  instill  within  the 
alumni  an  interest  in  the  college  life  of 
AKA.  The  Lambda  Iota  chapter  at  Mill- 
saps  was  established  in  May  of  1977.  As 
one  of  its  yearly  activities,  the  Millsaps' 
chapter  adopts  an  African  Village  Pro- 
ject. Other  projects  include  participat- 
ing in  the  Assult  on  Illiteracy  Program 
and  adopting  nursing  home  residents. 
All  in  all  the  members  of  AKA  contrib- 
ute time  and  effort  into  enriching  the 
social,  cultural,  and  scholastic  environ- 
ment of  both  the  Millsaps  and  Jackson 
communities.

The  Omicron  Gamma  Chapter  of  the 
Alpha  Phi  Alpha  Fraternity  once  again 
proved  that  it  was  worthy  of  upholding 
the  aims  and  traditions  set  forth  by  the 
national  fraternity.  The  members  of  the 
local  A  Phi  A  chapter  participated  as 
subsponsors,  with  the  local  alumni  chap- 
ter, of  various  groups  of  Boy  Scouts. 

In  conjunction  with  the  Anti-Apart- 
heid Awareness  Task  Group,  Omicron 
Gamma  Chapter  put  on  a  fantastic  Step 
Show  with  members  of  different  Black 
Greek  organizations  around  the  state. 
Even  though  there  was  some  skepticism 
of  its  success,  many  spectators  felt  that 
the  show  was  well  received. 

As  a  part  of  the  first  nationally  found- 
ed Black  Greek  lettered  organization, 
the  local  chapter  once  again  planned  a 
successful,  yet  tiresome,  pledge  line.  The 
chapter  was  pleased  to  welcome  Tony 
Moore  in  its  ranks  as  a  member  of  the 
Alpha  Phi  Alpha  Fraternity.

AAA 

Well,  another  year  has  passed  and  our  chapter  is 
sad  to  see  it  go.  We  made  a  lot  of  special  memories 
this  year  that  will  be  dear  to  us  for  a  long  time.  In 
the  fall  we  participated  in  the  walk  for  Lori  Moore, 
We  worked  hard  on  our  homecoming  float  and  has 
such  a  great  time  we  won  the  Spirit  award.  We 
played  volleyball,  soccer,  and  basketball  intramur- 
als.  In  November  we  held  our  Fall  Crush  Party, 
and  celebrated  Tri  Delta's  100th  Birthday.  We 
ended  the  semester  by  selling  calenders  to  benefit 
our  national  philanthropy  —  Children's  Cancer 
Research  and  with  a  small  Christmas  Party. 

Our  pledges  were  initiated  in  January,  In  Febru- 
ary we  traveled  to  Hattiesburg,  the  University  of 
Southern  Mississippi,  to  meet  with  fellow  Tri  Del- 
tas for  State  Day.  March  brought  our  Formal- 
Moonlight  Masquerade  and  David  Bledsoe  was 
named  our  nev/est  Delta  Gent.  We  made  our 
Alum's  Children  very  happy  by  giving  them  an 
Easter  Egg  Hunt  complete  with  prize  eggs  and  an 
Easter  Bunny.  We  have  been  working  hard  on  our 
SADD  project,  with  a  hotline  and  a  taxi  service! 
The  semester  ended  as  we  said  our  final  farewell  to 
the  1989  graduating  seniors,  giving  them  a  special 
Pansy  Breakfast  in  their  honor.  What  a  year!  Keep 
it  up  Tri  Delta!

KA 


Even  before  the  year  began,  the  men  of  Kappa 
Alpha  illustrated  their  excellence  by  winning  the  J. 
Edgar  Hoover  Award  at  the  National  Leadership 
Institute,  This  award  is  given  to  the  top  KA  chap- 
ter in  the  nation  each  year.  Further,  Alpha  Mu 
finished  second  highest  in  the  nation  among  KA 
chapters  in  scholarship  while  retaining  the  scholar- 
ship cup  on  campus  for  having  the  highest  GPA. 
This  academic  excellence  continued  into  the  Fall 
semester  as  we  again  finished  on  top  in  scholarship 
on  campus.  Also,  in  the  national  level  Brother  Da- 
vid Coffey  assumed  the  position  of  Education  and 
Leadership  Consultant  for  the  1988-89  year. 

Alpha  Mu  pledged  twenty-eight  new  brothers 
and  was  excited  to  have  a  one-hundred  percent 
initiation  ratio  at  the  end  of  the  semester.  With 
their  help  KA  was  actively  involved  in  raising  mon- 
ey for  the  Muscular  Dystrophy  Association  in  their 
annual  telethon.  We  also  exhibited  community  ser- 
vice by  parking  cars  for  a  black  tie  fund  raiser  for 
the  Ronald  McDonald  house,  made  improvements 
at  Mydelle  Gardens,  and  worked  with  Friends  of 
the  Zoo. 

Also  involved  in  a  cross  section  of  campus  activi- 
ties, brothers  excelled  in  student  government, 
sports,  singers,  and  social  efforts  such  as  Habitat 
for  Humanity.  In  intramurals  KA  again  held  on  to 
the  top  spot  by  winning  the  Intramural  Trophy. 

On  top  of  this,  the  year  certainly  did  not  lack  the 
traditional  parties  held  at  the  Mansion.  The  year 
was  filled  with  brotherhood  rallies.  Bid  Day,  Fawn 
Lebowitz,  Black  and  White,  Initiation,  Valentine, 
and  the  all  too  famous  Luau.  With  all  this  in  mind 
there  is  no  wonder  why  the  past  year  has  been  one 
of  the  most  memorable  and  best  ever  for  Kappa 
Alpha  at  Millsaps  College.

The  Millsaps  KD"s  had  a  very  busy  year.  It  all  began  in 
August  with  our  summer  rush  workshop  at  which  time  we 
prepared  the  chapter  for  a  hectic  first  week.  The  long 
parties,  late  bid  sessions,  and  hard  work  all  paid  off  on  Bid 
Day  when  we  welcomed  34  wonderful  new  pledges  into 
our  chapter. 

The  rest  of  the  fall  semester  was  a  whirl  of  activities: 
swaps,  intramurals  and  Big  Sis,  Little  Sis  helped  the 
pledges  get  to  know  their  new  sisters  and  fellow  Millsaps 
students.  As  usual  we  had  dozens  of  fundraisers  and  pro- 
jects: The  Millsaps  Telephone  Campaign,  Carnation 
sales,  Songfest.  candy  bar  sales,  volunteering  at  the  Ballet, 
and  a  Halloween  party  for  kids  from  the  Methodist  Chil- 
dren's Home, 

Social  events  were  also  lots  of  fun.  KD  mom's  and  dad's 
loved  sharing  with  us  at  our  first  Parent's  Day  reception. 
The  Open  House  at  Homecoming  was  a  chance  to  see  old 
friends.  Fall  Party,  in  November,  was  terrific.  Lots  of 
strange  costumes  turned  out  for  our  party  —  In  the  Dark 
of  the  Night. 

Spring  semester  proved  to  be  even  more  hectic  than 
Fall,  but  after  initiation  we  had  the  help  of  our  33  newly 
initiated  members  to  keep  us  going  strong.  Offices  were 
passed  on  and  a  new  council  succeeded  the  old.  Our  Spring 
Formal  "Emerald  Ball"  was  deemed  "party  of  the  year" 
by  an  alum  Dagger  Daddy.  The  Swing  Band  added  an 
extra  fun  twist  to  the  party. 

We  spent  the  last  week  of  February  preparing  for  our 
official  visit.  Green  Thumb  Day  got  our  house  looking 
great  and  the  review  sessions  prepared  us  all  for  our  oral 
and  written  tests.  Stressful  and  nerve  racking  as  it  was, 
our  official  visit  was  a  huge  success. 

The  week  before  Spring  Break  KD's  collcted  money  at 
booths  at  school  and  Walmart  to  help  support  our  Sham- 
rock Project.  Although  Spring  Break  was  relaxing,  we 
were  all  in  full  swimg  the  day  afater  when  our  chapter 
hosted  our  annual  Easter  Egg  hunt  for  the  children  of 
Alumnae.  Later  that  month  JADE  sponsored  a  delicious 
Banana  Split  party  —  definitely  one  of  our  better  attend- 
ed events! 

We  spent  two  nights  in  a  Spring  Rush  workshop  so  that 
we  would  look  our  best  for  all  the  prospective  students 
attending  the  Spring  Rush  Teas  and  Major  Madness 
Events.  We  closed  out  the  year  with  a  Pre-Cram- Exam- 
Jam  which  helped  get  our  minds  off  finals.  Our  year  has 
been  packed:  helping  others,  playing,  studying,  working, 
learning  and  having  fun!

The  past  year,  to  say  the  least,  has  been  quite  suc- 
cessful for  Kappa  Sigma.  Our  brothers  has  participat- 
ed in  numerous  projects  that  have  benefited  many 
people.  A  clothes  drive  for  the  Methodist  Children's 
home  involved  unselfish  labor  towards  a  worthy  cause. 
Not  to  be  outdone  in  the  social  realm,  our  parties  of  the 
last  year  have  been  the  envy  of  the  campus  with  our 
Founder's  Day  in  New  Orleans  and  our  three-  day 
South  Seas  celebration.  Our  members  also  made  a  trip 
to  Rhodes  College  where  they  won  at  a  regional  Kappa 
Sigma  Softball  tournament.  By  winning  the  Millsaps 
Telephone  Campaign,  we  showed  our  commitment  to 
the  campus.  If  next  year  is  as  fun  and  productive  as  the 
last,  then  our  reputation  will  be  outstanding  once 
again.

Lambda  Chi  Alpha  Fraternity  provides  its  brothers 
with  the  opportunity  to  undergo  a  complete  and  fulfill- 
ing college  experience.  Its  heritage  is  built  on  human 
vision,  understanding,  idealism  and  honest  friendship. 
These  ideals  have  fostered  the  growth  of  the  Millsap's 
chapter  of  Lambda  Chi  to  develop  into  one  of  the 
strongest  chapters  of  the  international  fraternity. 

Millsaps'  Lambda  Chis  are  actively  involved  on 
campus  as  well  as  in  the  Jackson  community.  Lambda 
Chis  participate  in  varsity  and  intramural  sports,  stu- 
dent government,  honoraries,  SBA  committees,  publi- 
cations, teaching  assistantships  and  in  the  Resident 
Hall  staffs.  This  involvement  ranges  from  the  presi- 
dent of  both  the  College  Republicans  and  the  College 
Democrats  to  Perspectives  Leaders.  Its  strong  involve- 
ment on  campus  places  the  men  of  Lambda  Chi  in  the 
center  of  campus  life.  Lambda  Chi's  involvement  in 
the  community  ranges  from  hosting  an  Easter  egg 
hunt  at  the  local  orphanage  to  implementing  a  food 
drive  which  raised  nearly  $35,000  worth  of  food  for  the 
needy  in  Mississippi.  Due  to  the  great  success  of  this 
local  service  project.  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  Fraternity 
has  adopted  'Pantry  Raid'  as  a  national  project  and 
has  encouraged  all  225  chapters  to  develop  and  imple- 
ment such  a  project.  Thus  Lambda  Chi  Alpha's  in- 
volvement and  impact  stretches  beyond  the  confines  of 
the  Millsaps  campus  and  flows  into  the  Jackson  com- 
munity where  their  presence  is  very  well  known  and 
highly  regarded. 

Along  with  campus  and  community  involvement. 
Lambda  Chi  also  promotes  brotherhood,  self-growth, 
and  scholarship.  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  provides  the  at- 
mosphere for  one  to  become  a  socially  well-rounded 
individual  without  giving  up  one's  own  identity.  Our 
chapter  Theta  Eta  promotes  scholarship  by  stressing 
that  all  its  brothers  try  to  reach  their  own  level  of 
academic  excellence.  This  goal  has  given  the  Millsaps' 
chapter  of  Lambda  Chi  one  of  the  highest  GPA's  of  all 
the  Lambda  Chi  Alpha  chapters  in  the  nation.  Our 
scholastic  achievement  is  evident  in  the  fact  that 
Lambda  Chi  had  more  members  inducted  into  Phi 
Beta  Kappa  than  any  other  social  organization  on 
campus.  Lambda  Chis  are  constantly  striving  to  attain 
their  highest  potential. 

Lambda  Chi  Alpha  has  as  one  of  its  open  mottos 
"Vir  Quisque  Vir"  which  translated  reads  "Every 
Man  a  Man."  This  motto  stresses  our  idea  that  every 
man  must  fully  develop  himself  emotionally,  physical- 
ly, and  spiritually  in  order  to  reach  the  high  goals  the 
Lambda  Chi  Alpha  represents.

It  has  truly  been  an  eventful  year  for  Pi  Kappa 
Alpha.  It  all  began  with  a  highly  successful  rush 
week  ending  in  the  pledging  of  twenty-eight  men. 
Under  the  leadership  of  David  Laird,  we  received  a 
Chapter  Excellence  award  from  National.  Of  our 
many  community  service  projects,  three  were  espe- 
cially successful:  the  American  Cancer  Society 
Fund-  Raiser  at  the  Harrington,  the  Adoption  par- 
ty at  the  Mississippi  Children's  Home  and  Family 
Services  Center,  and  renovation  of  the  Sandifer 
House. 

The  Spring  semester  began  with  our  chapter 
participating  in  the  annual  PiKA  Delta  Regional 
Convention.  Other  successes  include  a  highly  com- 
petitive intramural  season.  At  Cotton  Ball,  we 
elected  eight  new  Little  Sisters:  Kelly  Werner, 
Blair  Richardson,  Holly  Ellender,  Melissa 
Parcher,  Kelly  Smith,  Melissa  Saxton,  Camille 
Gafford,  and  Alicia  Clifton.  Also,  Cori  Grady  was 
honored  as  Dream  Girl.  As  for  campus  involve- 
ment. Pikes  were  involved  in  all  varsity  sports,  and 
Jay  Ciaccio  and  Jeffrey  Blackwood  were  elected 
SBA  President  and  Vice  President,  respectively. 

This  year  we  also  held  some  incredible  parties. 
Some  of  these  included  the  annual  Delta  Bluesfest 
Pilgrimage,  a  great  Old  North,  and  a  killer  initi- 
ation party.

The  men  of  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon  had  a 
tremendously  successful  year  during  the 
1988/89  school  term.  Our  greatest  achieve- 
ment was  the  finalizing  of  our  requirements 
for  becoming  a  full-fledged  chapter.  This 
was  particularly  satisfying  considering  the 
tough  standards  Sigma  Alpha  Epsilon's  na- 
tional body  places  on  its  colonies  and  the 
arduous  chartering  process  this  entails. 

The  school  year  began  on  a  successful 
note  with  a  great  pledge  class.  They  quickly 
established  themselves  in  the  brotherhood 
and  organized  a  philanthropy  project  in 
which  the  entire  chapter  went  caroling  at 
the  Alcohol  Rehabilitation  Center  for  Kids 
and  donated  to  them  a  new  stereo,  which 
was  bought  with  pledge  class  raised  money. 
As  for  social  events,  the  highlight  of  the  fall 
semester  was  definitely  the  "New  Orleans 
In-Formal."  We  hopped  on  a  train  with  our 
dates,  and  by  the  time  we  made  it  to  New 
Orleans  the  train's  bar  was  deficient  on 
supplies.  Needless  to  say  the  entire  week- 
end was  a  success.  The  spring  semester  also 
started  off  well,  as  we  moved  into  a  much 
larger  house  than  the  one  we  had  been  in 
the  previous  year  and  a  half.  The  pledges 
did  a  great  job  fixing  it  up  during  Brother- 
hood Week.  In  March,  we  won  the  Theta 
Province  Scholarship  award,  reaffirming 
our  commitment  to  maintaining  a  strong 
academic  tradition.  In  April  we  held  an- 
other incredible  "Paddy  Murphy"  party, 
complete  with  chicks  and  guns  and  fire- 
trucks.  This  wrapped  up  our  year  of  activi- 
ties, and  capped  off  a  successful  year  for 
SAE  at  Millsaps.

The  1 988-89  school  year  was  another  great  year  for 
Epsilon  Chapter.  A  busy  Rush  workshop  was  followed 
by  a  great  Rush  as  we  welcomed  thirty-three  wonder- 
ful new  Phis  into  our  chapter;  getting  to  know  them 
was  a  treat.  Activities  like  the  Phi  Halloween  party 
and  our  overnight  Phi  retreat  were  loads  of  fun  and 
helped  everyone  get  to  know  one  another  better.  The 
semester  was  a  busy  one  as  Homecoming  soon  rolled 
around.  We  were  very  proud  of  Senior  Angle  Belzer 
who  was  named  Homecoming  Queen  and  we  were  also 
proud  to  be  the  winners  of  the  float  competition  for  the 
second  consecutive  year.  Other  events  from  first  se- 
mester included  our  Phantasy  Island  party  and  the  zoo 
trip  woth  the  kids  from  the  Bethlehem  Children's  Cen- 
ter. 

Second  semester  was  just  as  busy  as  we  started  off 
with  a  meaningful  Inspiration  Week  that  culminated 
with  the  initiation  of  our  great  new  activities.  Social 
service  projects  from  second  semester  included  the 
Captain  Miracle  fundraising  campaign  in  conjunction 
with  UMC  Children's  Hospital  and  the  Jackson  Pub- 
lic Schools,  and  more  activities  with  Bethlehem  Chil- 
dren's Center  including  our  annual  Easter  Egg  hunt. 
The  semester  ended  on  a  high  note  with  Enchantress, 
our  two-day  formal  and  the  selection  of  our  five  new 
Big  Brothers:  Torrence,  John  B.,  David,  Chris,  and 
John  L. 

Phi  Mu  is  proud  of  its  members  and  the  contribu- 
tions they  make  to  campus  activities.  There  are  Phi 
Mu  Senators,  Singers,  Resident  Assistants,  Cheer- 
leaders, Varsity  Soccer,  Tennis,  and  Basketball  play- 
ers. Fraternity  Little  Sisters,  and  members  of  CMT. 
Phi  Mu's  are  also  active  in  Sigma  Lambda,  Omicron 
Delta  Kappa,  Order  of  Omega,  and  other  campus  hon- 
oraries. 

This  was  a  terrific  year  for  Phi  Mu,  and  we  are 
looking  forward  to  continued  success  next  year  and  for 
years  to  come.

The  Chi  Delta  Chapter  of  Chi  Omega 
had  another  outstanding  school  year  in 
1988-89.  It  all  began  when  we  received  the 
Financial  Management  Award  at  our  na- 
tional convention  held  this  year  in  St.  Louis. 
When  Rush  rolled  around  we  were  thrilled 
to  welcome  thirty-four  awesome  pledges  to 
the  Chi  Omega  sisterhood.  We  were  in- 
volved in  many  activities  including  taking 
children  from  the  Mississippi  School  for  the 
Deaf  to  the  zoo  and  sponsoring  a  campus 
blood  drive  each  semester.  We  enjoyed  par- 
ticipating in  projects  with  the  National 
Kidney  Foundation,  Mississippi  Ballet 
Company,  and  a  local  women's  shelter. 

In  between  all  these  activities  we  man- 
aged to  find  time  to  study  and  even  won  the 
scholarship  trophy  both  semesters  again!! 
We  were  especially  proud  of  Dosha  Cum- 
mins, Betsy  Flowers,  and  Dorree  Jane 
Smith  for  being  three  out  of  seven  charter 
members  of  the  first  Phi  Beta  Kappa  chap- 
ter in  Mississippi. 

In  the  fall  we  had  our  annual  Owlman 
party  and  named  Jeff  B.,  Jay  H.,  Stan  P., 
Marshall  P.,  Glenn  M.,  and  Bradley  W.  as 
our  newest  Owlmen.  In  December  we  got 
into  the  Christmas  spirit  with  a  "Trim  the 
Tree"  party  and  Secret  Santas.  With  sec- 
ond semester  came  Chi  Omega's  third  an- 
nual Eleusinian  Ball  and  Res.  Fest.  Chi  O 
ever  after  we'll  remember  you.

Cheerleaders 


"The  Team  Behind  The  Spirit" 


Try  keeping  a  smiling  face 
while  yelling  at  the  top  of  your 
lungs  and  trying  to  keep  up  with 
the  game  enough  to  know  wheth- 
er to  shout,  "Go  Offense"  or 
"Hold  'em  defense!"  If  you  can 
do  that,  and  do  it  well,  then  you 
ought  to  try  out  for  the  cheer- 
leading  squad.  One  of  the  only 
sports  on  campus  that  has  a  job 
the  whole  year,  and  it's  a  tough 
one  —  rousing  the  spirit  of  the 


school. 

The  football  squad,  chosen  in 
the  spring  semester,  cheers  on  the 
Majors  as  they  take  the  gridiron. 
Performing  their  stunts  on  little 
more  than  a  gravel  track,  the 
cheerleaders  organize  the  fans 
into  chants  and  cheers.  But,  the 
final  show  on  the  sidelines  is  the 
result  of  many  hours  of  practic- 
ing and  hard  work. 

The   basketball   squad   works 


just  as  hard  on  the  court.  This 
squad  is  chosen  in  the  fall  semes- 
ter to  root  on  the  Majors'  basket- 
ball teams.  This  includes  a  chant, 
a  jump  or  even  providing  a  choco- 


late chip  cookie  cake  to  inspire 
the  Majors  on  their  road  trips.

Yes  there  are  quite  a  few  Majors  running 
around  Millsaps'  campus  but  only  one  real 
Major  Millsaps.  No,  not  the  guy  in  the 
tomb,  but  none  other  than  the  white-beard- 
ed, purple-clad,  over-sized  cheerleader  who 
runs  around  at  football  games  flirting  with 
pretty  girls  and  wrestling  with  kids.  But 
that's  his  job,  and  who  better  fits  the  quali- 
fications than  junior  Mark  Mays.  He  has 
the  same  task  as  the  cheerleaders,  but  per- 
forms it  in  a  three-foot  tall  headpiece  and 
floppy  suit.  The  Major  is  a  familiar  figure 
at  Millsaps,  on  bumper  stickers,  pencils  and 
T-shirts,  but  the  real  Major  and  his  spirit  is 
alive  in  all  of  us.

Football 


Forward  from  the  First  Play 


1 988  was  a  year  of  hopes  and 
dreams.  Some  were  realized 
and  some  were  not.  It  was  a 
year  which  started  off  with  one 
goal  in  everybody's  mind,  to 
make  Coach  Davis'  last  season 
a  special  one.  The  end  of  an  era 
in  Millsaps  football  was  at  hand 
and  the  team  was  going  to  make 
sure  he  left  a  winner.  The  goal 
was  to  give  back  some  small 
part  of  what  Coach  Davis  had 
given  over  the  years. 

From  the  first  play,  of  the 
first  drive,  on  opening  day  it 
was  apparent  what  kind  of  team 
we  had.  The  Majors  overcame 
the  rain  and  Rose-Hulman's 
reputation  to  beat  the  14th 
ranked  Engineers  14-13.  This 
game  was  a  taste  of  what  was  to 
come.  Things  didn't  get  any 
easier  though  as  the  season  pro- 
gressed, and  many  character- 
ized Millsaps  as  the  king  of  the 
"tough  win"  and  the  tough  loss. 
The  Majors  improved  to  2-0  by 


defeating  the  Central  Method- 
ist Eagles  25-21,  and  then  to  3-0 
in  a  last  second  win  over  the 
University  of  the  South  17-10. 
Owing  to  its  excellent  3-0  start, 
Millsaps  was  ranked  third  in 
the  NCAA  Southern  Region 
the  following  week. 

After  two  tough  wins  Mill- 
saps suffered  its  first  "tough 
loss"  to  the  Trinity  Tigers  10-7 
at  home.  Overcoming  this  loss, 
the  Majors  traveled  to  Colorado 
Springs,  CO.  to  play  the  Colo- 
rado College  Tigers.  In  a  game 
which  was  important  to  get  the 
team  back  on  the  winning  track, 
and  to  avenge  a  1975  playoff 
loss  the  team  performed  well. 
Even  after  a  two  day  bus  trip  of 
over  1,000  miles  the  Majors 
dominated  the  game  and  came 
away  with  a  17-15  victory. 

Going  into  Homecoming 
against  archrival  Rhodes  Col- 
lege with  a  strong  win  last  week 
was  important.  The  2nd  ranked 


1/  i./.

Tigers  were  an  excellent  team, 
and  possibly  the  toughest  on  our 
schedule.  Halftime  came  with 
the  Majors  leading  13-7  and 
things  looked  good,  but  the  Ti- 
gers came  back  in  the  second 
half  to  win  the  game  17-13.  Al- 
though of  little  consolation,  one 
of  the  Rhodes  players  was 
quoted  as  saying  that  Millsaps 
was  the  toughest  team  they  had 
played. 

On  the  road  the  following 
week  against  Lambuth  College, 
the  Majors  lost  a  see-saw  battle 
to  the  homestanding  Eagles  26- 
21.  With  their  record  at  4-3, 
and  their  last  game  at  Trinity 
the  Majors  had  to  overcome  a 
huge  hurdle.  They  bore  up  well 
under  the  pressure  and  insured 
Coach  Davis  of  a  winning  sea- 
son. This  win  gave  the  Majors 
their  21st  consecutive  winning 
season  and  gave  Coach  Davis 
his  138th  win  against  79  losses 
and  four  ties. 


Harper's  Boys. 

The  word  that  might  best  de- 
scribe this  past  season  was 
grueling.  With  five  road  trips 
and  only  three  home  games,  two 
of  which  were  against  national- 
ly ranked  opponents,  this  was 
one  of  Millsaps  toughest  sched- 
ules ever.  In  each  of  their  three 
losses  none  was  ever  by  more 
than  a  touchdown  and  all  were 
decided  in  the  last  quarter  of 
the  game.  There  is  one  thing 
that  can  definitely  be  said  about 
the  teamand  that  is  that  they 
played  as  a  TEAM  throughout 
the  entire  season.  Everyone 
gave  his  all  and  pulled  together 
through  the  good  and  bad.  This 
of  course  follows  one  of  Coach 
Davis'  philosophies  —  win  or 
lose,  play  as  a  team  and  always 
be  a  class  act.  The  players  are 
proud  to  be  known  as  one  of 


In  a  year  of  generally  young  teams 
and  coaches,  we  also  see  the  end  of 
a  long,  successful  career  of  a  much 
loved  and  respected  member  of  the 
Millsaps  community.  Harper  Da- 
vis resigned  as  athletic  director 
and  head  football  coach  after  25 
years  at  Millsaps.  His  first  was 
against  Rhodes  by  a  2 1  - 1 2  margin . 
This  was  just  the  beginning  of  year 
after  year  of  winning  seasons.  This 
year  the  Majors  posted  another 
winning  season  making  this  the 
twentieth  in  the  past  twenty-one. 
This  year's  team  gave  Coach  Davis 
a  set  of  golf  clubs  as  a  retirement 
gift.  See  you  on  the  greens,  Coach!

Men's  Soccer 


The  1988-89  men's  soccer 
team  started  their  season  with  a 
victory  over  Hinds  Junior  Col- 
lege 5-1.  This  was  the  team's 
first  victory  under  new  head 
coach  David  Forsythe.  They 
were  quickly  brought  back 
down  with  a  tough  loss  in  their 
second  game  against  Incarnate 
Word  College  3-0.  The  team's 
next  victory  was  in  a  very  phys- 
ical contest  against  Brescia  Col- 
lege of  Kentucky  played  here  at 
Millsaps.  Senior  goalkeeper 
David  Laird  kept  Brescia  from 
scoring  with  some  17  saves. 
Leading  the  offense  was  senior 
Brian  Gualano  who  scored  two 


goals  within  a  ten  minute  peri- 
od. Junior  Toni  Moore  and 
sophomore  Mickey  Brown  each 
had  a  goal  in  the  game  also. 
Millsaps  then  fell  to  William 
Carey  2-1  and  then  to  Sewanee 
3-0.  Next  came  the  University 
of  Alabama,  a  division  1  school, 
who  also  beat  the  Majors.  Get- 


ting back  on  the  winning  track 
happened  against  Olgelthorpe 
University  whom  the  Majors 
beat  3-1.  Unfortunately  the 
year  ended  with  a  loss  to  Ni- 
cholls  State  4-1. 

Awards  were  presented  to 
some  of  the  outstanding  team 
members.   Senior  Brian   Gua- 


lano was  named  the  most  com- 
plete player  and  also  received 
the  academic  honor.  Tim  Bruni 
was  named  best  offensive  play- 
er, while  Toni  Melvin  was 
named  best  defensive.  Fresh- 
man John  Ellis  received  the 
Dennis  Mlakar  Memorial 
Award.

Women's  Soccer 


m  m    \  t^  iy,i  . 


The  1988-89  women's  soccer 
team,  coached  by  George 
Gober  is  looking  forward  to  a 
much  improved  and  talented 
team  next  year.  This  year  was  a 
season  of  learning  for  a  very 
young  but  eager  team.  Playing 
fifteen  games,  with  only  three 
played  at  home,  the  women 
were  able  to  defeat  most  Divi- 
sion III  schools  and  kept  it  close 
against  the  many  Division  I  and 
II  teams  they  played.  The  final 
game  of  the  season  ended  in  se- 
vere injury  for  the  goalkeeper, 
freshman  Suzanne  Gueydon, 


and  tension  with  Millsaps'  op- 
ponent, the  University  of 
Southern  Mississippi. 

Fifth  year  senior  Mindy 
Bowman  received  both  the  aca- 
demic and  mental  awards  for 
her  team  leadership.  The  team 
voted  freshman  Anna  Harvel 
best  offensive  player  and  junior 
Kim  Tadlock  best  defensive 
player.  Freshman  Angel  How- 
ington  received  the  award  for 
most  improved  player.  For  the 
third  season,  junior  Me-me 
Soho  was  chosen  most  complete 
player.

Men's  Basketball 


When  the  Millsaps  Majors 
began  the  1988-89  basketball 
season,  they  began  it  without 
the  services  of  two  of  the  best 
outside  shooters  that  Millsaps 
had  seen  in  recent  years.  Both 
Ted  Hunt  and  Jimmy  Carr,  im- 
portant outside  threats  from 
last  year's  team,  had  graduated. 
The  loss  of  Hunt  and  Carr 
served  to  change  the  whole  style 
of  play  which  the  Majors  em- 
ployed. In  1987-88  over  23%  of 
the  Majors'  shots  were  from  the 
point  territory.  Without  them 
Millsaps  was  forced  to  depend  a 
great  deal  more  on  its  three  in- 
side threats:  Tyrone  McDonald, 
David  Chancellor,  and  Tor- 
rance Shelton. 

As  the  season  got  under  way, 
the  Majors  were  plagued  by  an 
inability  to  get  off  to  a  fast  and 
aggressive  start  in  their  games. 
Again  and  again,  the  Majors 
would  go  in  at  the  half  behind 


by  ten  or  twelve  points  and 
reappear  for  the  second  half  a 
different  squad.  Whether  they 
won  or  lost  seemed  to  depend 
largely  on  how  big  the  deficit 
was  that  they  had  to  overcome 
in  the  second  half. 

Early  in  the  season  the  Ma- 
jors played  host  to  the  Tougal- 
loo  College  Bulldogs.  Due  to  a 
sluggish  start  in  which  Millsaps 
hit  only  35%  from  the  field,  the 
Majors  were  behind  by  twelve, 
32-20,  at  the  half.  As  the  second 
half  opened,  Millsaps  began  to 
find  its  stride.  McDonald,  who 
had  hit  only  one  of  six  in  the 
first  half,  scored  sixteen  in  the 
second  half  including  six  of  his 
last  nine.  He  also  had  seven  re- 
bounds and  four  steals. 

Because  of  their  inspired  sec- 
ond half  play,  the  Majors  were 
able  to  tie  the  game  just  before 
the  end  of  regulation  to  send  the 
game  into  overtime.  Seconds 


before  the  end  of  the  first  over- 
time period,  a  McDonald  pass 
to  Shelton  netted  Millsaps  two 
points  to  tie  the  game  again  at 
62.  Only  with  a  last  second 
bucket  by  Daryl  Parker,  a  for- 
mer Millsaps  player,  were  the 
Bulldogs  able  to  pull  out  a  two 
point  victory  over  Millsaps. 

In  the  second  half  of  the 
1988-89  season,  Millsaps  began 
to  develop  into  a  tougher,  more 
aggressive  basketball  team.  Un- 
fortunately for  the  Majors, 
however,  some  of  their  toughest 
opponents  came  late  in  the  sea- 
son. Overcoming  their  sluggish 
0-5  start,  the  Majors  went  on  to 
post  a  9- 1 5  season  record.  This 
included  tough  wins  over 
Rhodes  and  Maryville.  Among 
their  losses,  there  were  several 
games  against  tough  opponents 
such  as  Tougalloo,  Belhaven, 
Rust,  and  Stillman  where  the 
Majors  played  tough,  aggres- 
sive basketball  and  could  easily 
have  won  if  not  for  a  few  crucial 
pieces  of  bad  luck  of  a  couple  of 
key  miscues. 

The  consistent  improvement 


of  the  team  throughout  the  year 
was  apparent  as  the  Majors 
ended  their  season  on  a  winning 
note  with  a  pair  of  victories  over 
Rhodes  College  and  Pensacola 
Christian.  According  to  Coach 
Holcomb,  "We've  improved 
each  game  just  about  the  entire 
second  half  of  the  season." 

Of  the  two  seniors  who 
graduated  this  year,  Tim  Wise 
and  Tyrone  McDonald,  Hol- 
comb said:  "It's  tough  to  lose 
two  outstanding  guys  like  Ty- 
rone and  Tim.  Anytime  you  lose 
people  like  them  it  leaves  a  big 
void." 

The  loss  of  Wise  and  Mc- 
Donald, who  were  known  for 
both  their  skill  and  team  leader- 
ship, will  be  keenly  felt.  Wise, 
who  holds  many  of  Millsaps  re- 
cords for  assists,  was  a  four  year 
letterman  and  a  consistent  lead- 
er on  and  off  the  court.  Mc- 
Donald, a  two  year  letterman 
for  the  Majors,  had  developed 
the  reputation  for  being  able  to 
completely  defy  the  law  of  grav- 
ity in  pursuit  of  the  slam  dunk 
which  became  his  trademark.

Women's  Basketball 


Under  the  leadership  of 
Coach  Davis  and  Coach  Bow- 
man, the  1988-1989  women's 
basketball  team  had  a  success- 
ful, but  tough  season.  On  the 
court  the  Lady  Majors  were  un- 
der the  inspiration  of  captain 
Erin  Clark  who  also  was  elected 
the  most  valuable  player  on  the 
team.  Many  of  the  Major's  vic- 
tories can  be  credited  to  an  ag- 
gressive defense  and  that  little 
extra  effort  that  was  provided 
by  Elizabeth  Hearn  and  her 
play.  The  offensive  play  was  led 


by  Erin  Clark  and  Melissa 
Cleary,  the  only  freshman  start- 
er on  the  team.  Other  members 
of  the  team  who  contributed  to 
the  winning  efforts  were  Jamie 
Fowler,  Felicia  Overstreet,  and 
Edi  Stuckey.  The  season  ended 
on  a  positive  note  with  a  victory 
over  Trinity  College  70-58.  The 
Lady  Majors  plan  to  continue  in 
their  winning  ways  throughout 
the  next  season  and  hope  to  add 
more  strong  players  to  the  ros- 
ter.

Men's  Tennis 


The  1988-89  Millsaps'  men's 
tennis  team,  under  the  leader- 
ship of  Coach  Jim  Montgom- 
ery, finished  the  year  with  a  sta- 
ble record  of  6-11.  With  six 
members  returning  from  last 
year,  the  squad  also  welcomed 
the  skill  of  Luis  Mellado  from 
Spain  along  with  four  promis- 
ing freshmen.  After  an  injury 
that  left  senior  Dwayne  Thomp- 
son unable  to  play  for  part  of 
the  season,  the  rest  of  the  team 
remained  tough  during  his  ab- 
sence playing  about  their  usual 
spots  on  the  line  up.  This  year 
the  men  hosted  the  NCAA  Di- 
vision III  Southern  Regionals 
on  their  home  turf.  They  lost  to 


Emory  but  defeated  Rhodes 
and  Centre  College  to  take 
third  place  overall  in  their  divi- 
sion. Highlights  of  individual 
performances  included  Dwayne 
Thompson  who  despite  injury 
posted  a  5-2  record.  In  doubles, 
the  team  of  senior  Todd  Helb- 
ing  and  junior  Jay  Ciaccio  fin- 
ished with  a  record  of  7-6.  Don 
Allen,  a  sophomore,  posted  an 
impressive  record  of  7-2  in  Divi- 
sion III  singles  play.  Jay  Ciac- 
cio finished  h  is  singles  season 
with  a  6-3  record.  The  injuries 
to  top  players  hurt  the  team  but 
Coach  Montgomery  is  looking 
for  a  much  better  season  next 
year.

Women's  Tennis 


The  1988-89  Millsaps'  wom- 
en's tennis  team  enjoyed  a  good 
season.  The  team  was  ably  led 
under  the  coaching  skills  of  Dr. 
Jim  Montgomery  and  Jenny 
Cockrell,  a  1988  Millsaps  gra- 
duate and  four  year  member  of 
the  team.  The  squad  consisted 
of  only  four  returning  players, 
but  added  to  their  ranks  four 
talented  freshman  and  ADP 
student  Karen  Shackleford. 
With  injuries  that  forced  na- 
tionally ranked  senior  Yvette 
Edwards  to  sit  out  the  begin- 
ning of  the  season,  the  women 
played  many  matches  above 
their  regular  placei-in  the  line- 
up. Then,  with  Edwards  back  in 
form,  the  team  travelled  to 
Staunton,  Virginia  for  the 
NCAA  Division  III  Women's 
Southern  Regionals.  Losing  to 


Sweet  Brian  College,  but  then 
defeating  Hollins  and  Mary 
Baldwin  College,  they  took  fifth 
place  overall  in  their  division. 
This  year's  team  included 
two  nationally  ranked  players. 
Senior  Paige  Carpenter  ended 
her  season  at  17-3.  Carpenter 
made  it  to  the  singles  quarterfi- 
nals in  the  national  Division  III 
last  year  and  being  ranked  #2  in 
the  Southern  region,  she  will 
compete  again  this  year.  In  her 
two  years  as  a  Major,  Carpen- 
ter has  posted  a  37-10  singles 
record  and  a  29- 1 1  doubles  re- 
cord with  Yvette  Edwards,  who 
ended  this  year  with  an  8-4  sin- 
gles record.  This  doubles  team 
finished  with  a  14-5  record  and 
will  compete  at  the  national 
tournament.

Baseball 


With  the  Majors  losing  seven 
starting  players  from  last  year's 
club,  there  were  a  lot  of  new 
faces  in  purple  and  white  uni- 
forms. Topping  this  list  was  new 
Head  Baseball  Coach  Jim 
Page.  Page  was  a  player  for  the 
Majors  from  1981-1985  and 
then  served  for  three  years  as  an 
Assistant  Coach  under  Coach 
Tommy  Ranager.  Starting  in 
1989,  Page  took  over  the  Head 
Coach's  job  following  Ran- 
ager's  promotion  to  Head  Foot- 
ball Coach. 

In  1989  the  team  returned 
only  three  starters,  to  combine 
with  the  twelve  newcomers,  five 
sophomores,  three  juniors  and 
one  senior. 

According  to  Page:  "I  guess 
you  could  say  that  we  were  all 
kind  of  green.  In  the  beginning, 
there  was  some  uncertainty  as 
to  how  well  we  would  come  to- 
gether as  a  ball  team.  It  was 


tough  at  first.  There  were  mo- 
ments when  we  looked  like 
things  were  starting  to  jell. 
Then  we  would  make  a  few 
rookie  mistakes  and  just  fall 
short." 

"Just  falling  short"  could  be 
used  to  describe  this  ball  club's 
start.  The  first  half  of  the  sea- 
son saw  the  Major's  post  a  5-12 
record,  with  Millsaps  having 
the  lead  in  seven  of  their  first 
twelve  defeats. 

When  asked  about  this. 
Page's  response  was  that:  "We 
were  close  to  breaking  it  open. 
But  'close'  wasn't  good  enough 
for  these  guys.  They  worked 
their  tails  off  to  consistently  get 
a  little  better  each  day.  They 
new  it  was  right  around  the  cor- 
ner." 

It's  been  said  that  hard  work 
and  desire  promote  success. 
These  two  elements  are  what 
contributed  to  the  success  that 


the  Majors  would  experience  as 
the  season  progressed.  They 
proceeded  to  win  four  of  the 
next  five  and  seven  of  the  next 
eleven,  including  sweeping  two 
of  the  three  double-headers. 

Two  particularly  big  wins 
came  in  Memphis,  Tennessee 
against  conference  rival  Rhodes 
College.  The  Majors  dominated 
the  Rhodes  Lynxcats  8-4  and  6- 
3.  They  then  turned  their  guns 
on  Stillman  College  out  of  Ala- 
bama, bombing  them  12-2  and 
13-12. 

Another  big  victory  came 
against  cross  town  rivals,  Bel- 
haven  College.  Millsaps  defeat- 
ed the  Belhaven  Blazers  4-3,  to 
record  their  first  victory  over 
Belhaven  in  five  years. 

In  summing  up  the  season, 
Coach  Page  said:  "We  may  not 
have  had  as  much  experience 
and  talent  as  everyone  else,  but 
these  guys  continued  to  believe 


that  they  could  win  every  time 
they  took  the  field.  We  finished 
up  way  ahead  of  any  expecta- 
tions we  could  have  had  in  the 
beginning.  Right  now  I  can  see 
nothing  but  good  things  in  this 
clubs  future." 

The  Majors  will  return  their 
entire  starting  team  and  pitch- 
ing staff,  with  the  exception  of 
Danny  Hughes,  whom  they  lost 
to  graduation.  Hughes  led  the 
team  with  a  3.40  earned  run 
average,  and  was  a  tremendous 
source  of  leadership  for  the 
young  team.  "Dan  did  a  super 
job  for  us,"  said  Page,  "all  four 
years  that  he  was  here.  He  real- 
ly helped  out  in  a  lot  of  ways 
this  year,  he  was  a  really  big 
influence  on  what  road  this 
team  took.  That's  hard  to  re- 
place."

Cross  Country 


The  1988-89  cross  country 
team  is  a  noted  first  for  Millsaps. 
This  is  the  first  men's  cross  coun- 
try team  that  has  existed  on  cam- 
pus and  participated  in  the  men's 
National  Collegiate  Athletic  As-

try finals  as  a  team.  Ken  Wil- 
liams is  considered  the  leader  of 
the  team  and  runs  competitively 
against  runners  from  an  array  of 
bigger  and  better  equipped 
teams. 

While  the  first  year  is  very 


much  a  building  one,  the  team 
ran  well  together.  Both  the  men's 
and  women's  teams  are  coached 
by  Mary  Ann  Edge  with  the  help 
of  manager/trainer  Andy 
Rambo.  Members  of  the  Men's 
team  included  junior  Eric 
Schrock  and  sophomores  Ken 
Williams,  David  Westenberger 
and  Scott  Barr.  Despite  the  youth 
of  the  team.  Coach  Edge  expects 
the  team  to  grow  both  in  number 
and  strength  next  year.

Tim  Wise,  Joey  Warwick,  and  David  Lester  ready  for  a  game  of  golf. 


"This  is  only  our  second  sea- 
son. We're  right  in  the  middle 
of  building  a  golf  program  at 
Millsaps,"  said  Dr.  Mary  Ann 
Edge,  Coach  of  the  two-year  old 
Millsaps'  golf  team.  Composed 
of  two  seniors,  Joey  Warwick 
and  Tim  Wise,  two  sophomores, 
John  Braddley  and  David  Les- 
ter, and  two  freshmen.  Jay 
Greiner  and  David  Pettey,  the 
team  competed  in  seven  tourna- 
ments, one  in  October  hosted  by 
Division  I  school  Jackson  State 
and  the  rest  in  the  spring.  Trav- 
eling as  far  as  St.  Louis  and  At- 
lanta, the  men  played  compete- 
tively  against  Division  I,  II,  and 
III   teams.   On  April    17,   the 


team  competed  in  the  Washing- 
ton University  Tournament  in 
St.  Louis,  Missouri.  Millsaps 
beat  three  teams  and  lost  to  two 
of  the  eleven  competitors  by 
only  a  few  strokes.  Coach  Edge 
is  expecting  a  lot  from  next 
year's  team  with  so  many  re- 
turning players  and  the  incom- 
ing freshmen.  She  also  added 
that  the  Majors  will  be  included 
in  a  Division  III  conference 
next  year.  This  will  reduce  the 
number  of  Division  I  and  II 
teams  such  as  Jackson  State 
and  Mississippi  College,  that  a 
small  school  like  Millsaps  must 
compete  against.

A  Letter  From  the  Editor 


Marshall  Comeaux  Paine 
1968-1988 


Dear  Marty, 

You  always  heard  me  complain  about  the  many  faults  in 
Millsaps  and  saw  me  bitter  when  all  my  efforts  to  make 
changes  ended  in  failure.  Never  did  I  take  time  to  appreciate 
the  good  that  can  be  found  in  this  place.  That  is,  until  part  oj| 
that  good  was  taken  away. 

The  many  of  us  who  had  the  fortune  of  knowing  you  werei 
able  to  experience  the  goodness  of  your  soul.  The  smiles  and) 
comfort  you  gave  us  will  be  cherished  forever.  I  deeply  regret  j 
did  not  say  this  to  you  while  you  were  with  us.  My  sad  heari 
tells  me  that  Millsaps  has  lost  one  of  its  best.  Goodbye,  my  j 
friend.  1  will  miss  you. 


In  Z.A.X.
