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.

- Homecoming The Ole Miss campus was stirring Homecoming Week 1990. It began with activities in the Grove and ended with everyone celebrating the 18th ranked Rebels victory over Arkansas State on Sat- urday. Homecoming is a time of traditon at Ole Miss and one of the traditions is crowning the Queen. Janie Holman. elected Queen in a campus-wide election was crowned at half-time by the president of the Alumni Association. During the week the Student Programming Board sponsored music and tye-dying in the Grove. Another tradition carried on was the float competition. This year students went to extremes to give the campus the most spirited floats ever. Chi Omega sorority won with the theme A New Beat to An Old Song. The annual Home- coming pep rally on the square brought students and faculty together with the people of Oxford to rouse spirits for the game that eventually took us to 6-1 . Despite all the week ' s activities many teachers still gave tests. Truly there is no week quite like Homecoming. It is always the busiest most happening week of the fall semester. Homecoming 1990 was especially special with our strong football team drawing more fans and alums together. Many students and their fami- lies enjoyed the musical production of Peter Pan on Friday night. The day of the game itself had the campus boiling over with people. There was hardly a space in the Grove after 8 a.m. The open houses and bands added to the spirit of the day. Of course the tailgating parties couldn ' t be overlooked. No where else in the nation could have had a bigger or better tailgating celebration than in the Grove on October 20, 1990. People from all over will always come back to Ole Miss to take part in an exclusive tradtion known as Ole Miss Homecoming. by Allison Hooker 10 — Opening
