- 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
