University of Mississippi - Ole Miss Yearbook

“p* Mi-Miss ' From the first week of school; meeting room- mates, making friends, to graduation four years later Ole Miss is home to thousands of students. Once the initial excitement of Rush and new- found independence wears away, the pace of col- lege life becomes comfortable then perfunctory, but students soon find that there is more to Ole Miss than they ever imagined. " Wow, it was even better than The Gin! I saw everybody! " one of my freshman roommates ex- claimed as she walked in our dorm room, remov- ing her backpack and Sony Walkman. She had discovered the librarysocial hub of the Ole Miss campus as each semester comes to a close and pro- jects are due. Other " important " places on campus included the Turner Complex where students could swim, jog, lift weights, play racquet ball, or simply keep an eye on those who did. The Union housed the bookstore (where we waited in line to buy or sell books), the Post Office (where we went to clear cobwebbs from our boxes, collect Fred ' s fliers, or search for checks from Mom and Dad), the Grill and Galley (quick stops for a Coke or ice cream cone). It was where we ran into everyone between classes, as we ran endless errands. But the most well known spot on the Ole Miss campus was The Grove where students did everything from studying to playing Frisbee. Football weekends began and ended there, as did Bid Day parties, Dixie Week, and endless Saturday afternoons. LCM Opening 11 ”
