University of Mississippi - Ole Miss Yearbook

“People I One of the most Important things about Ole Miss is the people. Everyone who comes on to campus is touched by the legacy that makes our school what it Is today. Not only are the students affected by what transpires here, but the faculty, their children, the people of Oxford and people from outside as well. The ever-changing attitudes towards academics, social clubs, organizations and athletics help keep the opinions flowing as to what it is that really makes up Ole Miss. The answer however, is not found in the number of games the football team won, or the average our entering freshman are scoring on the ACT, or the size of the recent endowment fund, or the politics of the people in the Lyceum. The answer to what makes up Ole Miss is found in the people. The everyday students you see walking to class or sitting in the Grove or out front of the sorority house. They are not the unapproachable people others make them out to be. They are not the materialistic Southern generations so sterotyped vrith Ole Miss. They are the friendly folk, who will stop and talk at length if given the chance. They are the kind that would rather take the afternoon off from classes, and sometimes do. They are the ones you will see heading out to Sardis for a day in the sun, or the ones retreating to their rooms for a nap. The people of Ole Miss come in all shapes and sizes, all colors and all languages. They make up the diversity of the University and add uniquness and character. by August Laurent " ^4 ;i I^Hi 1/ rm^. r- ... 1 ^ ' ' ^^* M • ^ -p -^n^^J i.v- pi r " -^ ^m Allison Hooker Allison Hooker ^ B.J.
