a Different Ole Miss! But why go to summer school when we get more than our share of studying from September to May? The reasons are obvious. Sorority Row. Of course, taking cars to class is still a no- no, but you can park closer to class, and you can find a parking place near where you live on campus. 3. Summer school can inch your graduation date forward. If you have no desire to graduate, scratch this reason. But if you ' re behind on your credits, and you promised your parents you ' d be self-supporting by 1990, take a serious look at summer school. 4. You can get a tan. You can ' t do this with an eight-to-five desk job, but you can if you schedule your summer school classes for early morning or late afternoon. 5. You can boost your G.P.A. It ' s easier to study during summer school. There are no football weekends, no com- mittee meetings, no formals to distract you. An A is less out of reach. 6.There ' s less competition for dates. Of course, there ' s less to choose from, but that ' s the price you pay. 7. There ' s really plenty to do. Activities are just more relaxed, that ' s all. You can swim, go shopping, play golf or tennis, go out at night, or spend hours at Sardis. And the theater department always puts on a marvelous selection of entertainment in its Summer Showcase production. After two semesters of struggling through classes, sum- mer school may be the break you ' ve been needing. B.B. A.O. A Biker Summer School 27

Laura Rutherford Summer School Experience Had enough of the library? Sick of term papers, projects, and exams? Ready for a vacation? Here comes summer school. Though summer enrollment was significantly down this summer, quite a few of us used June and July to get three, six, nine, or maybe even twelve hours of credit. Summer school is a totally different Ole Miss experience. In fact, some would say you haven ' t been to Ole Miss until you ' ve been to Ole Miss in the summer. But why go to summer school when we get more than our share of studying from September to May? The reasons are obvious. 1. It beats getting a summer job. Of course, if you spend your summers cruising the Caribbean or Hawaiian Island hopping, scratch this reason. 2. You can find parking places. At Ole Miss? Yes, even on a worf Sororit no, W 3.

Summer Theatre Joanne Edwards, Debbie Yancy The Summer Showcase, after almost two decades of presenting entertainment to the University and the Oxford area, ended with a spec- tacular presentation of the award- winning, Broadway play Annie, in the summer of 1984. However, theatre-goers were not deprived of their usual complement of plays. The Showcase was replaced by the Festival of Southern Theatre, a cooperative effort of the theatre arts, music, and southern studies depart- ments. Two works by Southern writers were presented by a 23- member repertory on a rotating schedule in Fulton Chapel. The Robber Bridegroom, Alfred Uhry and Robert Waldman ' s musical adaptation of the Eudora Welty novella, was on stage for six perfor- mances beginning July 24. Also, Mississippi author Beth Henley ' s Pulitzer-winning drama, Crimes of the Heart, began on July 25, pre- senting five performances. Richard Bitsko, an Ole Miss graduate who has performed in New York productions of Annie Get Your Gun, Hello Dolly, and Allegro, returned to the campus to perform with the theatre group. Bit- sko played Rooster Hannigan in Annie, and also played the title role of Jamie Lockhart in The Rob- ber Bridegroom, the same role he Daniel Klein, Bill Hoover, Dex Edwards 28 Summer Theatre
