,ebeLspirit here at Ole Miss is very i. enthusiastic when it comes to sup- porting our teams. The fans go out of their way to cheer the Rebs on. Fans travel almost anywhere for a road w trip and to see their team play. The cheerleaders are the basis of get- ting fans into the spirit that keeps Ole Miss alive and glowing. They help to let the team know the fans are behind them 100%. The Pride of the South Marching Band, Rebeletts and Color guard also give the fans and team their all to per- form well at each game. Johnny Reb, our mascot, is always making someone laugh or smile by his acts and cheers. All of these people are dedicated and put long hours of practice, just to support our Rebels and the University. Even if the season does not go as ex- pected, we will always support our teams and school. We are Ole Miss and are proud of it! by Poppy Pructt I. 1 A F 1 - lohn Bigs- 2 A Richard VVhitl.

ne of the most distinguishing ristics of the University of Mississippi is the astounding number of students who get involved in campus activities - - whether it be ac- ademic, social, political, athletics, or some or all of these and others. For the academically oriented there is the Honor ' s Program. It is an accelerated and advanced program of study for out- standing students. Several National Honor Societies at all levels and fields of study are available for those who qual- ify. Taylor Medalists, Gannett Scholars, Rhodes Scholars; twenty three to this date, and members of Phi Kappa Phi; the University ' s highest honor, constitute Ole Miss ' s very own braintrust. Greek life forms the crux of Ole Miss ' s social activities. Hundreds of students go through rush every year aspiring to be- come a part of this Ole Miss institution. Fraternity Sorority parties, swaps, Greek Week, Sigma Chi Derby Day, Del- ta Gamma Anchor Splash, and other non-Greek activities like Dixie Week give students ample opportunity to enjoy themselves. Everyone interested in getting in- volved in student politics has numerous opportunities to do so. Dormatories offer serveral opporturnies; floor representa- tive, Hall President, Resident Advisor, Hall Director, etc. On a campus wide setting there is the ASB (Associated Stu- dent Body) which offers numerous ways to get involved. The Student Program- ming Board, Student Alumni Council, the Black Student Union, the Daily Mis- sissippian and the Ole Miss annual are a few organizations to get involved in. For serious politicos there are the College Republicans and the College Democrats. For sports fans and fanatics, the In- tramural Department provides ample opportunities to get involved. Intramural competitions are held in almost all major events. For the better atheletes there are official university teams such as football, tennis, golf, volleyball, track and field, baseball, etc. Overall Ole Miss is a very active school. With over 200 organizations and honoraries on campus there is bound to be at least one organization to suit eve- ryone. Get involved, there would not be a Ole Miss without the students, so do something for the school that you are a part of. by Rumman Dastgir. 22 - - Opening 3 A 4 A
