AS THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI CELEBRATES ITS FIRST AN- NIVERSARY, THE 1963 SOUTHERNER HAS MADE AN ATTEMPT TO PRESERVE THIS AND EVERY WELL DESERVED EVENT, ACADEMIC, SOCIAL, AND RELI- GIOUS. WE, AS STUDENTS, FACULTY, AND STAFF OF USM, HAVE EVERY REA- SON TO BE EXTREMELY PROUD OF OUR UNIVERSITY. ACADEMICALLY SHE IS A TOP RATED INSTITUTION, RELIGIOUSLY SHE IS STAFFED AND PREPARED TO GIVE ADEQUATE AND NECESSARY GUIDANCE TO ALL FAITHS. SOCIALLY USM CAN BOAST HER MANY FINE SOCIAL FRATERNITIES AND SORORITIES ALONG WITH ALL OTHER INTERESTING SOCIAL ASPECTS OF THE WELL- ROUNDED SOCIAL LIFE ON OUR CAMPUS, THE STUDENTS OF USM ARE BLESSED WITH ADEQUATE FACILITIES-MODERN CLASSROOMS AND LAB- ORATORIES, COMFORTABLE DORMITORIES, A MULTI-VOLUME LIBRARY, AN ULTRA-MODERN UNIVERSITY COMMONS, AND APARTMENTS FOR MAR- RIED STUDENTS. HOWEVER, THE BLESSINGS OF USM STUDENTS NEVER STAND STILL FOR THERE IS ALWAYS AN AIR OF EXPANSION PRESENT TO TAKE CARE OF THE GROWING STUDENT BODY. A PANHELLENIC DORMITORY EQUIPPED TO HOUSE TEN SORORITIES, A GROUP OF NEW APARTMENTS TO ACCOMO- DATE MARRIED STUDENTS, AND PLANS FOR AN EXHIBIT HALL FOR ART OF USM STUDENTS ARE ALL UNDER CONSTRUCTION AT THE PRESENT. YES, USM WITH ITS 5,800 STUDENTS IS PREPARED TO MEET THE FUTURE AND ITS EVER INCREASING DEMANDS BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. WE ARE PROUD- THIS IS OUR UNIVERSITY-USM?
