Too old to tango Come-on-boys my job, my job The RebeV Roster The weekend after school began we got down to the sub- ject which completely dominated the Fall semester. We put on our best suits and dresses, climbed into cars or reason- able facsimiles thereof, and rolled up to Memphis for the first Ole Miss football game of the season. We discovered the charm of the Rendezvous and saw our team roll over Memphis State. The next weekend we again went to Mem- phis, re-discovered the charm of the Rendezvous and saw our team rise to greater heights in defeating Kentucky. A few students reached some rather lofty heights themselves. This year we were extremely fortunate, for Ole Miss played all of three games at home! Once again we saw the long, weaving line to Hemingway Stadium before the game and the long, weaving line weaving down fraternity row after the game. Hardin-Simmons fell to Ole Miss at Hemingway, while Trinity, Tulane, and Arkansas lost on their campuses. Who will ever forget that train ride to Baton Rouge for the LSU encounter? Quite a few wish they could. While LSU defeated Ole Miss in a game that pitted the nations top two undefeated teams, the game was one of the most thrilling that the Rebs have played in a long time. Wait till next year, Tigers! We celebrated Homecoming with a display of power against Houston that left the fans gasping, not to mention what it did to Houston. The Rebels lost a close one to Ten- nessee, and on a beautiful day in late November they trounced arch-rival Mississippi State. Rated among the top ten teams in the nation on almost everybody ' s poll, Ole Miss accepted a bid to the Gator Bowl. Before a nationwide TV audience the Rebs squeaked by stubborn Florida 7-3, Thus the long season came to an end. We reluctantly focused attention again on our books and dreamt of next fall. If only I ' d been in there

Some of us daydream while others study The Scholastic Rack Somehow, between football week-ends, rush week, parties, and the thousand and one other things that occupied our time, we were expected to attend classes with some sort of regularity. Some students realized this later than others. Some never did discover this unhappy fact, and we saw them leave as the first semester staggered to a halt. We found that college professors are prone to misinterpret neglected assignments as signs of laziness or disinterest, and that they have a dangerous tendency to grade accordingly. We became well-acquainted with the library and spent many a night within its confines, attempting to unravel the mys- teries of Integral Calculus or trying to find some message in the poems of T. S. Elliot. When the mid-semester grades were released a notable flurry of studying occurred, a state of affairs which lasted until a week before the State game. After the State en- counter vie had Christmas to look forward to, an d final exams seemed a long way off indeed. We returned to the campus after two glorious weeks of Christmas holidays to find that final exams were staring down our collective throats, a meager two weeks away. Students reacted to this shock in different ways. Some went to every movie they could find; some played cards; some slept; and some studied. Grades were released, a few students were released, and new oaths were sworn to the gods of study. We had made it through the first semester and vowed to do better the second. A lot of people study in the library, and then-a lot don ' t Two heads are better than one No, girls, that book doesn ' t circulate — ••■••,„
