Hamp Overton A2 ♦ 4 ♦ 5 Frank Hurdle Hamp Overton 11•11MME- The fall semester was an exciting year with alot of interesting things happenning. This year 661 women and 579 men went through rush. 531 women pledged a sorority and about the same number of men pledged a fraternity. As students went through registra- tion this year, they noticed a change in the price of the activity fee. It went up by $5.00 which was allocated to Women ' s Athletics. The fee was $131.00 and it is distributed to the following: Student development $5.25 Radio TV $6.50 Concerts Lectures $3.75 SPB $6.50 Yearbook $5.00 Daily Mississippian $6.00 Intermurals Recreation $13.00 Student Union $17.00 Student Health Ctr. . $34.00 Emergency Medical $1.00 UMAA $25 Library Special Fund $5.00 School Spirit $1.50 Band Travel $1.50 The phone books are quite dif- ferent this year, thanks to Nancy Hor- ton. 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

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

These football players love the play in the mud. 4. Nancy Horton, ASB President, is being interviewed on her views of the Library Fund decision. 5. Pete Straw checks a seedy looking characters I.D. before selling him the house ' s best! 6. Melissa Mason was crowned 1986-87 Most Beautiful. 7.

This coed responds to one of Brother Jim ' s criticisms. 9 John Abbington Brother Jim seem to be agreeing on something. 10. The new drinking laws slowed business at this local watering hole so the employees keep busy with checkers and TV. The Ole Miss student group Ban Aparthide Now rallied Friday Oc- tober 10th with a march and demonstration on the Oxford Town Square. The march was in protest of South Africa ' s racial aparthide policy. Congress approved a $11.5 million grant to build the National Center of Physical Acoustics research at the University of Mississippi. It ' s location will be where Swazee baseball field is located presently. After a little over two months of controversry, the ASB Judicial Coun- cil ruled against using money that was in the library fund to buy a new com- puter system for the J.D. Williams Library. For the first time since 1976, the Ole Miss football team was ranked 20th in the nation for five glorious days. They lost the following weekend to Tennessee but did go on the the Independence Bowl. There was a sweet taste of sugar for everyone for a few days. Lee Thigpen origionally dis- qualified as Colonel Reb candidate was reinstated after an appeal hear- ing. It appears he had not submitted all of his expense vouchers before the deadline. He was not found guilty. Towards the end of the fall semester, Sigma Alpha Epislon Frater- nity had its charter revoked because of hazing violations. The NCAA placed the Ole Miss Rebel football team on a two year probation because of recruiting violations. Overall the semester was a good one. The University keeps taking strides to its goal of excellence and is succeeding. Opening — 25 Richard Whitley Hamp Overton Prf Hamp Overton • 7 0 ` ) O 0 E
