The use of the mind is what going to school and studying is all about-the process of learning what will be beneficial toward a ca- reer in the real world. This acquiring knowledge or receiving an education is the purpose of the University of Southern Missis- sippi and there is much to stimulate the mind here-lectures by famous individuals on cur- rent issues, organizations whether political, religious, social or service, but most especial- ly the majors that are offered themselves. Each major proposes to shape the students' mind in its way of thinkingg to make the major a part of the student. Freud's Id, ego and superego each receive satisfaction at USM. To the Id. or animal in- stinct, USM offers social opportunities in many different forms such as Greek organiza- tions, dorm swaps and student body events. The Hattiesburg community also has much to offer the Id with many nightspots. The super- ego is also offered much at USM with many religious organizations on campus such as the Baptist Student Union, the Newman Club. the Wesley Foundation and Campus Crusade for Christ to name a few. The ego. or media- tor or balancer between the fun loving side and the strictly conservative side. is offered choices as to which the student could be do- ing-studying in the library, going to class. or partying.

There are many examples of color at USMg the most obvious being the seasons of the year. The fall is characterized by the changes of the trees from green to beautiful bright oranges, yellows, rusts, and browns. The spring is another time of change, except this time the earth awakens out of the deep sleep of winter and renews itself. The most brilliant 4 ,,,, colors imaginable lighten up the campus and give the sunny touch to everyone's spirits. Another example of color is evident at sport- ing events. For instance, the USM victory over MSU in Jackson in November '81g the entire USM section of the stadium was a black and gold mass of screaming fans-the color of support and school pride. The color- ful personalities found at USM would be yet another example of color. Whether it be stu- dents, faculty, or even administration. any- thing out of the ordinary colors the campus. In using color to describe the mood of USM. nothing dull could do, only the most attrac- tive and brilliant would be true. Of Color
