The perfect theme and the perfect way to describe the end of the old and the beginning of the new decade seemed al- most impossible to find. Students, however, were more than willing to share their ideas for theme and cover design. Some of the suggestions were Enter into the World of 1990, Breaking All Barriers, and, perhaps the most interesting, Rebelbusters a take-off on the popular movie Ghostbusters with a rebel flag instead of a ghost. During the past ten years, Ole Miss has experienced a tremen- dous influx of changes. Old buildings were renovated for better office space; new parking elTlitiiilt yud y l ti ui e s dl atniem: faqillties Combined efforts of the students and faculty have enabled Ole Miss to progress in a positive direction and thus deflected much of the negativeness that tended to be as- sociated with the university. As students, we share a common goal: to get through those classes needed to graduate so that one day we can assume our roles as leaders in the world. Methods of achieving this goal may range from taking 1 8 hours each semester, studying and making all A ' s to taking 12 hours, partying and barely passing.

College days are like no other in life, the last gasp for any form of the carelessness of youth — one foot in adulthood and one in high school. College times are learning to pay bills, getting credit cards without credintials and learning close up what an ugly dragon beauracracy is and exactly how much red tape it could spit in your face. It is a time when total strangers become best friends who will for- ever share memories of wacky, wild, sweet and subtle adventures. It is a time when dreams began to develop into reality and steps are taken to insure sucess. To an incoming freshmen, the college days may seem as those of freedom — no more parents with their silly rules — and entering them may seem exciting. | But to an outgoing senior, those days will be remembered and cher- ished for a life-time — the lessons learned and the experiences gained j — and exiting them may seem a bit frightening.
