THE OLE MISS 7

Page 10 text:

THE SPIRIT OF OLE MISS has successfully stood the test of time, even thriving in and after times of difficulty. Although the Lyceum is the most recognized symbol of the university, it was the site of humiliation when General Ulysses S. Grant rode his horse through its doors during the Civil War, and again when a mob violently protested the admittance of James Meredith during the civil rights movement. The bullet holes in this revered building serve as proof of the strength to rebuild. Only a year after the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina—the shockwaves of which reached Ole Miss by way of displaced students and damage to the Grove—Mississippians and others gather in the restored Grove to make merry on a game day, just as generations before them have done. The spirit of Ole Miss is strong. RIGHT O' MiW font 0O V«0 rtd Mtirt »• th U t herr ©am of th MMOA.« v tOry «9 nu th un.vt'Uy M moh

 : : Numerous students at Ole Miss participate in the countless volunteer opportunities available on campus or in the Oxford community. Putting aside their own need to study or sleep, they pledge to tutor their fellow students or help keep the campus clean. Instead of attending a part)' or hanging out with friends, they assist the efforts of organizations like Leap Frog and the Oxford-Lafayette Humane Society, leaving Oxford in better condition than that in which the ’ found it. The spirit of Ole Miss is selfless. Walking through the quad on a cloudless day, one may see the many smiling faces and hear the many exchanged greetings between acquaintances. Walking along the Square on this same beautiful day, one is met with similar smiling faces on the sidewalk and in the many stores and restaurants. Feeling out of place is not possible as there are many organizations, such as Ole Miss Ambassadors and the Student Programming Board, to provide directions for a physical destination on campus or a conceptual destination in life. The spirit of Ole Miss is hospitable. f»GHr JESSICA ROSA «frc C'rOO'td lot tr opting r- . M o 1 St'e+tCAr Kam+d Dti rc ,o Mt»ch it stored n 6 nche Oiiflo-vc : :
