Bill Ellzey: Pink magnolia was a casualty of the Mardi Gras freeze
Bill Ellzey
The weather has certainly warmed up, but it has not brought back the lovely blossoms on my pink magnolia which had nearly reached its peak display at Mardi Gras.
The earliest blossoms were shedding their petals, still pink/white, blanketing the yard around the tree, while new buds and blossoms were opening.
The deep chill turned all that pink to an ugly brown. And the brown petals cling to the tree, with only a handful of buds surviving and opening into whole pink blossoms.
I m left with a patch of ugly, some 15 feet wide by 15 feet tall. Depressing.

NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - The No. 9 Nicholls State University football team posted a 600-yard day on offense, while the defense kept Lamar University off of the scoreboard as the Colonels steam rolled past the Cardinals, 55-0, Saturday evening at Manning Field at John L. Guidry Stadium.
With the win, Nicholls improved to 2-0 overall and 1-0 in Southland play. It was also the fifth consecutive win against Lamar, which played in its first game of the spring. The Colonels scored touchdowns on their first eight drives to build the 55-0 lead midway through the third quarter.
Nicholls professor hopes to make art more relevant to non-art students
A Nicholls State University professor hopes to make art and its study more accessible to those in other fields of study.
Dr. Ashley Busby said at a recent conference she does not believe art history has to put non-art majors to sleep.
Such was the discussion of a panel she presented at the Southeast College Art Conference hosted by Virginia Commonwealth University. The research came from her paper, “The Upper Level Fine Arts Survey: Interdisciplinary, Contemporary, and Thematic Approaches.”
Busby discussed two 300-level courses during the virtual panel, “The Art History Survey: How to Keep the Material Engaging for YOU.” One is a Nicholls Online cultural heritage art survey course, and the second a face-to-face art and science course.
