are truly abundant at Miss. Mingled with tradition and enhanced by charm, this delightful trait is exhibited by every Ole Miss stu- dent, faculty, and staff. It is as if the warm Southern climate has seeped into the hearts of everyone on campus, and has cast a perpetual sunny glow on eve- ryone ' s face. Whether attending a ball game or a religious service, whether at a party or in class, whether whistling Take me out to the ball game at a baseball stadium or learning karate chops at a self-defense class, one can see smiling faces. Campus- wide events like Dixie Week, Greek Week, Homecoming and other social atheletic functions add further outlets for this innate Ole Miss characteristic. Rich in spirit and affluent in warmth, Ole Miss strives to be an academic in- stitution that combines the heart with the intellect. It seems to be doing a great job of it, as reflected in everyone ' s faces. by Rumman Dastgir. Dan Ma gee John I , .. 7 , 24 Opening
