As the LABS program progresses, citizens march throughout campus while singing their chants. Many citizens have enjoyed the art of crafting their own clever chants, but some chants have caught the attention of J.C.s. Chants tend to be funny and simple, but there is one scenario that has been gaining traction. The boundaries of what can be included in chants, specifically some of Mississippi Parish’s chants, has been turning heads.
Much of the Mississippi citizen population believes it to be unfair that their J.C.s have established that chants cannot contain abrasive phrases, but often notice that said J.C.s loudly shout a vulgar term when walking by bollard poles in the NSU parking lots. While some Mississippians, specifically Cole Turner, say that doing so is “hypocritical” because this rule “should go both ways,” J.C. Ashton believes that the term was coined long ago and is just a “funny and quirky” phrase they use as tradition. As a result, the Mississippi Parish can still be heard shouting the chant with censors over the expletive words.
Chanting remains a prominent aspect of the LABS program, but there is still confusion on where “the line” must be drawn. The Daily Magnolia’s Press Staff will continue to monitor the situation closely in the days to come to provide coverage of events for our citizens.
