University of Mississippi - Ole Miss Yearbook (Oxford, MS)

There were also some effects on Ole Miss that were not controlled by the University. What a blow it was to the Ole Miss males to loose the younger Ole Miss coeds in the bars. But the under 21 crowd should feel lucky, now they can evade part of the 2% tourism tax when they buy Coke or Pepsi in- stead of Budweiser. Luckily this campus is not ruled by radicals, but by those that think some things sould not change. Enjoying a pic- nic in the grove, walking through the grove or Rowan Oak (which has been ranked nation wide as one of the best places for grubbing), lovely coeds everywhere, a day at Sardis, a drive to Ben ' s and Todd ' s or Pete ' s One Stop, fraternity parties, SPB all-nighters and many more traditions, are a few ex- amples of things unchanged. The University will continue with just enough renovation and improvements to keep Ole Miss an excellent school without changing what really makes it Ole Miss . . . its traditions. ♦ A Ashley Nicholas ♦ 5 10 r John Biggs • 7 tvo 0 0 0 7 nr,anirlr, ' ) Hamp Overton

Like all Universities, Ole Miss has to change to keep up with the times but some things take longer. Ole Miss is changing, even rapidly in some places. The old is comming down and the new is going up. The outdated is going out and the modern is coming in. The Power plant produces most of the more obvious changes. The new building is going up behind Shoemaker (Biology) Hall. The old plant was built in 1934. The new plant should ade- quetly and efficently heat the entire campus. The project for the Class of 1986, a sprinkler system for the grove, will soon begin production this year. The project for the Class of 1987 not be forgotten with their chimes informing us all of the holidays and hours of the day. But there are still some students that cannot seem to make it on time anyway. Of course it cannot be forgotten that the cafeteria was moved. It is now conviently located in the Union, where most students must pass it to get to class, check their mail, go to the bookstore, or shoot some pool. 22 — Opening Hamp Overton • 2

They consist of some introduc- tory pages, that contain student organizations information, faculty and student listing and a new yellow page section. The books came out in mid-October. The Senior class project was to in- stall a computerized chime system. There are speakers on the top of the Lyceum and the Student Union. It has the capacity to be heard across most of the Oxford campus. This year the 9th Annual Mississip- pi Delta Blues Festival was held on September 20th in the heart of the Delta at Freedom Village. A Law was passed on October 1, 1986 which affected a majority of the Ole Miss students-A person must be 21 years in order to purchase alcoholic beverages. Kincannon and Howory Faulkner mens dorms now have lavatory dorrs. Something that was needed for a very long time. 24 — Opening
