Emergency Plan

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Mississippians are preparing for the possible arrival of Gustav. On this third anniversary of Katrina, even places far north are keeping an eye on the weather.

Mississippi State does have an emergency management plan. In case of a campus emergency, students will be notified through the MSU emergency web page, text messaging, campus radio, the hot line (662-325-5555), and other media.

The Maroon Alert is normal but students are encouraged to keep an eye on the weather as many will be traveling home or to the MSU/LA Tech football game this long holiday weekend.

As of Friday, MSU will be closed Monday for the holiday but classes will resume Tuesday, September 2nd.

Imagine my surprise and sheer enthusiasm when I started to watch Jeopardy! yesterday and saw someone wearing an Mississippi State jersey. Best of all he was a contestant. Joey Beachum won yesterday’s battle to advance to the semi-finals.

Cash for Books

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

From now until May 2, the Barnes and Noble book store will be buying back text books. Either sell them back at the Cullis Wade Depot location or one of three mobile locations: Trailer at Union, Tent at corner of Lee/Barr, or Tent in front of Rice Hall.

While you won’t get nearly the price you paid for those books, it is nice to get at least something for them. A little extra money heading into summer is never a bad thing.

Congrats Ole Miss Alumnus Eli Manning

Sunday, February 3rd, 2008

I have to admit that I didn’t expect the New York Giants to win today’s big game. But the team led by Ole Miss quarterback Eli Manning not only won but played a great game.

Even though Eli chose to attend Ole Miss, MSU’s biggest football rival, he does his alma mater proud as well as the state of Mississippi, even though he is from Louisiana.

Congratulations on the win and thanks for the exciting ‘hour’ of football.
