Mississippi University for Women pauses name change again
SUMMARY: Mississippi University for Women in Columbus is taking a “strategic pause” as they work towards a name change. The university made a proposal to shed its gender-specific name and become Wynbridge State University of Mississippi. The new name was submitted by alumni and faculty. University leaders are determined to remain “The W” and say the name complicates the recruiting process because the university has enrolled men since 1982. This is the second time this year that MUW leaders have discussed renaming the University. President Nora R. Miller expressed her gratitude to all who supported the efforts, including the Naming Task Force, IHL Board, legislative delegation, donors, alumni, and friends of The W.

SUMMARY: Harmony Baptist Church in Monroe County, Mississippi, was destroyed by fire last Friday night, leaving caretaker Mary Nell Dorris in shock. She received a panicked call from a neighbor while asleep and rushed to the scene, where she stayed until the early morning. The historic church, built in the mid 1800s and lacking gas or electric power, is suspected to have been intentionally set ablaze. While no injuries were reported, Dorris mourns the loss of cherished memories associated with the church. The Monroe County Sheriff’s Department is investigating and urges anyone with information to come forward.
