Volunteer for the MS Blues Marathon & Half-Marathon
The 7th Annual Mississippi Blues Marathon and Half-Marathon needs you! On Saturday, January 11 runners from all 50 states and several countries will run the streets of Jackson, and they need your help to keep them safe and going in the right direction! Please consider volunteering as a course marshal for this great event - it's a great way to watch and welcome these runners to Mississippi, plus get a really cool t-shirt. To sign up, simply go to www.msbluesmarathon.com and click on the "Volunteer Here" link.

Once again, with feeling: New Beatles Course
THE BEATLES: Constructing Musical Meaning in the Counterculture (4 cr.)
Students: This course is about the Beatles as musicians. It cross-lists with music, allowing anyone not in the Core to take it. By taking it, you will earn that much-coveted Millsaps Fine Arts Credit. You'll even learn some music theory along the way.
Goals for the course include [but are not limited to]:
- developing a critical approach to the interaction of music and text
- understanding the connection between history, politics, and the Beatles soundtrack it framed
- developing a sophisticated ear, built on active listening strategies
- understanding the Beatles’ place in popular music history
- finally getting why George was so into Hindustani music...
TEXT: Walter Everett's excellent The Beatles as Musicians, in 2 vols.
THE BEATLES: Constructing Musical Meaning in the Counterculture (4 cr.)
IDST 2500-05
Focus: Fine Arts
