A Year 0 Extremes. As is par for the ' Saps course, elections were again deemed bogus . There seemed to be no middle man— all represented extremism of one sort or another. . . . and a woman took control of our nation . Sing we and chahnt it while lahve doth grahnt it . . . Since the Troubadours became extinct last year, opportunity presented itself, and the Millsaps Chamber Choir was born. Also known as The Small Ensemble and The Madrigals, this branch of the Millsaps Singers has performed for several luncheons and the Elizabethan Faire. Their reportoire includes every thing from Candygrams to mood music. Row, row, row your boot. ' Venice it isn ' t. The Pearl River flood of ' 79 more than indirectly affected Millsaps ' community. Faculty and family alike were flooded— some lost everything they had. ih. ; . . . ;..

OUR SCHOOL, WHOSE RULES? The libural of liberals. MiUsaps students once had the reputation of protesting anything that moved.

As usual, the Methodist Church caught the blows, too, and the age-old question of how much say-so the Church has in what goes on at Methodist-related Millsaps was raised from the dead.

A fresh coal of paint and she ' ll be good as new! A major undertaking by one of Jackson ' s interior designers was the restoration and redecoration of the Millsaps-Buie Home on Stale Street, just down from campus. The stately mansion, once the home of Millsaps founder Major Reuben Webster Millsaps, was shown to tourists this spring with proceeds going to charity. Star light, stor bright . . . The old James Observatory on North Campus was this year nominated for the National Register of Historic Landmarks. A decision was made by the Board not to tear it down in favor of North Campus development, but to develop around it. A renovation should start during the 79-80 school year. - - ir sAf ' ' ' Where ' s the Boboshelo ' A latecomer on the ' 79 Millsaps scene was the Bobashela itself.
