Activities at Ole Miss seem to peak during football season. From Thursday ' s pep rally to the winding down of the frat parties in the early hours of Sunday morning, the campus and Oxford are the site for a continuous social activity. Some would say a major PARTY!! The cheerleaders highlight the weekly pep rallies on the Square, in the Grove, or at the stadium in Jackson and for many the party begins on Thursday. Friday night students flock to fraternity row where the hottest bands rock the campus. Not only do the students get fired up about the game, alumni and their families swarm from all over the south in recreational vehicles. Late Friday night the UPD task force allows cars to be parked and spots saved for Saturday ' s crowd. By late morning the Grove, Circle and every available spot on campus is draped in red and blue as families and friends share in what has become tradition at Ole Miss tailgating. The football team marches to the fieldhouse, the Pride of the South makes its way to the stadium, and gradually parents, children, students, alumni, and rival fans proceed to Vaught-Hemingway stadium for the kick-off. The roar of Hotty Toddy and the flapping of thousands of flags signify that the Rebels are once again at play. After the game, win or lose, the bands play and the students have fun. It ' s the time to see and be seen. Classes are forgotten and worries are postponed. Otherwise it wouldn ' t be Ole Miss. by: Melanie Bun John Biggs 10 I Opening
