Controversy dogged USM in 2004 By Kevin Waltershttp://www.hattiesburgamerican.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20041231/NEWS01/412310302/1002

Chess

Happy New Year and special thanks to those pawns who made it across the playing board to reclaim the much needed stronger pieces.

Why Bother

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Phillips several weeks ago and he has to be the most pleasant man I've ever met. I later found out that he retired from the Eng. dept. about 20 yrs. ago. I was wondering if any of you guys had the pleasure of working with him.

Dr. Do Little

Why don't we petition the college board to bring back Donald Cotten? Old times there are not forgotten.

USM Sympathizer

If Shelby somehow really WERE removed, who, realistically, could step in immediately and get the university out of the hole it is now in? Who would have the trust of the faculty and staff, the support of the IHL, and the competence to undo -- in one year's time -- the mess Shelby has created?

John Boy
