The MUW theater department performed the play “Lysistrata" by Aristophanes on Oct. 16, 17 and 18.
The play, a Greek comedy, chronicles the main character Lysistrata’s mission to end the Peloponnesian War by convincing the women of Athens to withhold all sexual privileges from their husbands until they negotiate peace.

Halloween is not just a day out of the year. It is a holiday, and for some people, it is a holiday that they cannot wait for. Halloween is not just a holiday for children, but for adults as well.
So, how do MUW's students intended to spend their Halloween night?
"I am going to take my little brother trick-or-treating. He loves vampires, so that is what we will be going as," said Monica Grant, a freshmen music therapy major.

It is not often that all the departments on the campus of Mississippi University for Women come together. But during the Friday prior to fall break, all the buildings participated in “Campus Cleanup Day.”
It all started with Dr. Brian Anderson, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. His original plans focused solely on disposing of outdated and unused computer equipment that had been taking up space in Painter Hall.

When I first saw a preview for “Fury”, directed by David Ayer (End of Watch), I immediately thought it could be the best World War II movie since “Saving Private Ryan." Now that I have seen it, I still stand by that.
With a runtime of 134 minutes, I never felt like I was waiting for the movie to end. That being said, the movie is not all action-oriented.

Mississippi University for Women has upgraded the security system in the Department of Art and Design after a break-in last spring.
In the early hours of March 10, 2014, two MUW students broke into the art building and vandalized several pieces of artwork. Sources say that prior to the incident, the two individuals had been drinking before entering the art and design building. Unaware that they were being videotaped, the two went into room 212 of the building and proceeded to damage the works of two art students.
