Michael Abraham and Dan Latham talk over the night at a late-night at Don Brocks. 2. Laurie Denton shows the younger guys how to play Ponderosa. 3. Drew Patton paints the board outside Syds. Planning for a night out begins as early as breakfast. While glancing over the Dalli) Mis- sissippian, students scan the pages for bands, drink specials and other enticements which will lure them away from their studies and Into downtown Oxford. Van Buren and Jackson Ave. are filled with cars on any given night, as students don ' t wait until the weekend to meet their friends for a dlrnk. With more than five bars to choose from It Is hard to predict where the place will be. During 1990 students watched as Syd and Harrys became officially known as Syds, and 11 th Street bar and Grill switched names several times. For the stu- dents though names changes didn ' t matter. It was Oxford and It was a night out on the town. Since Oxford likes to shut down early and the students don ' t, Ole Miss Is famous for late- nights . . . which you can also find any given night If you look hard enough.

August 2, Iraqi troops Invaded Kuwait and by mid-month the United States and other United Nations countries had begun deploying troops to Saudi Arabia. The nation watched as the crisis was evaluated from all standpoints. Many said the U.S. in- volvement was purely economical, others said the U.S. was protecting the lives and human rights of thousands of Kuwait citizens. Mis- sissippians watched as multiple National Guard and reserve units were activated and brothers, fathers, mothers, sisters and sons were sent first to training sites and then to the Gulf. On the homefront anticipation and gas prices both escalated as the U.N. gave Saddam Hussein a January 1 5th deadline to withdraw his troops from the area. When he did not the U.S. and British forces were the first to begin bombing exercises and in less than two months, with only a minimal number of American causalities, successfully accom- plished the liberation of that region. ▲ 1 Alan Sheffield A 2 Kelly Stegal StarkvlUe Dally News 28 — Student Life
