University of Mississippi - Ole Miss Yearbook

“Ole Miss is made up of an eclectic mix of personalities and perspectives. Greeks co-exist with independents, long-held traditions still survive in the midst of new ideas, and most every classroom has an equal balance of bow heads and Dead Heads. This election year has shown that everyone at Ole Miss has an opinion, political and otherwise. The College Republicans and University Democrats battled for their candidates through the guises of guest speakers and mock elections. Even Ron Shapiro got into the political groove with his Anyone For The Greek Besides Me? party at the Hoka. But political opinions aren ' t the only ones expressed by the people who make up Ole Miss. The University is known for its great parties, academics, and cultural heritage. While there are those that insist on keeping these aspects separate (perhaps even ignoring one or two of them), most Ole Miss students reflect a meshing of the three. Somehow studying at the library, going to Happy Hour at Syd & Harry ' s, roadtripping from Thursday until Monday morning, and listening to Son Thom- as ' Delta Blues at the Hoka fit together nicely. This intangible, eclectic feeling one finds here is the spirit of the people that are Ole Miss. by: Muffy Sewell John Biggs 6 Opening ”
