For new students, the first week of school is indeed an orientation; they must quickly form a newfound independence and throw themselves into a completely new environment filled with strange faces and events. One of these events is RUSH — an anxiety filled process which for many fills a gap left when high school friends disperse. Also during this week are the lines — endless cards to sign and bills to pay. For returning students, this week can be one of drudgery, one filled with technicalities before the process of the school year can be begun. But it is also one of rejuvenation — one of reunions with friends and a freshened perspective gained when viewing the youth and enthusiasm of the spirited Freshman class.

Millsaps Students — Unique but United At Millsaps College, students are known by names, not numbers. And the students seem to grasp every opportunity to stand out from the crowd. Although social conformity does exist somewhat, the majority of students establish their individuality, not by showing off, but by answering an internal need to find their own identity. Perhaps this stems from the intense academic pressure or from exposure to ideas never challenged in high school. But the result is clearly positive: a unique blend of emerging per- sonalities.
