If the many problems and activities of college tended to pull students away from a daily religion, the whole experi- ence of learning, of searching for Truth, reminded most of them of the deeper significance of their surroundings. Denominational groups and the Y offered opportunities for fellowship and expression; the wisdom of leading reli- gious figures was brought from throughout the country; and churches provided continuous religious meaning through the year. At the center, however, was the individual Ole Miss stu- dent who strived to preserve his own religious identity and integrity, who strived to maintain, despite all other forces, the right relationship between his Maker and himself. The Religious Emphasis Speakers take out time from their busy schedule to lead cussion groups in the dormitories. AND ON TH SEVENTH DAY Students and faculty alike join in tive participation in the services and the work of the Churches. The well-used Bible can be found tucked away amid the school books of many dents as it takes its place as an important part of the growth of the students.

DORMITORIES The rumbling of the coke machines is one of the constant sounds of dormitory life. There is also the occasional thud as the poor machine receives a kick in its vitals for the failure to disgorge a coke. The most depressing place in the world is the cafeteria in the morning for breakfast; and yet the atmosphere and the food proves with the other meals. Perhaps it is not the cafeteria so much that is depressing in the mornings as it is just mornings in general! Everyone pitches in to help when one of their number is fortunate enough to be able to go to a big formal. Everything from hoops to the dresses themselves are borrowed as each girl tries never to be seen in the same dress twice.
