Homecoming 9 1 Spirits were high during Homecoming week, even though the rain and the loss to Vanderbilt attempted to damper the weekend. The Rebel team fought a gallant battle, while students and alumni cheered throughout Vaught-Hemingway stadium. Each year Homecoming brings to campus a variety of age groups who all share in the love and traditional pride that make Die Miss a special place to come home to. With school-age children tossing miniture footballs in the Grove, to the alumni band playing, to the crowning of the homecoming queen, Ole Miss homecoming allows everyone to experience some- thing to remember. Wi th the Student Programming board promoting events throughout the week, homecoming week of- fered events to cover almost everyone ' s interests. Monday — volleyball in the grove and spades tour- nament in the Union. Tuesday — acoustical guitarist David Kincaid at lunch on the Union plaza and a nine-hole shotgun golf tournament at the University golf course. Wednesday — Ole Miss dunkin ' booth and Casino Night. Thursday — David Kincaid at lunch on the Union plaza and Homecoming Parade through Oxford. 1.

' .J Renovations With the addition of new parking lots on sorority row and in front of the Ole Miss union, the parking situation eased up a little bit. The construction of the lots came after years of heated debate over the necessity of having them constructed. Nevertheless, the lots have now paved the way for many sorority girls to park close to their houses at night, eliminating the need for them to walk alone in the dark. The foundation was set this year for the Ole Miss Natural Products center, which will be located between Faser and Coulter Hall. The center will significantly expand pharmecutical research. The $3-million Barnard Observatory was completed early in the Fall of 1991. The observatory will house the Southern Studies program. On the heels of complaints about the dis- inegration of many university structures, buildings such as Old Chemistry, Conner Hall and several older dormitory struc- tures got much needed facelifts. No more Parking Problems? 1 . Bulldozing began early in the semester for the park- ing lot In front of the Union. 2. Workers layed down the curbs alongside the parking lot behind the Trl-Delt house. 3. At last all these cars have places to park. . 11 11 J I 20 — Student Life ■ to
