HIU»I ¥ilife ThA m ■ m £ i |I J I Ever wonder who, demographi- cally, the typical Ole Miss student is? Going on figures provided by the office of Institutional Research, the average student on campus is a female enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts whose home state is Mississippi. Females at Ole Miss make up roughly 51% of the student body, 64% of which come from Missis- sippi. Of those students not from Mississippi, a full 26% of the 36% out of state students are from Ten- nessee alone. Other major contrib- utors include, in order of the prevalence of students from each state: Louisiana, Alabama, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, and Florida. Ole Miss also has students from anoth- er 41 states and U.S. principalities, not including the 406 students from foreign countries. Out of the 10,916 students at the University of Mississippi, 44% are enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts, 20% in the School of Busi- ness Administration, 14% in the School of Education, and smaller percentages in the Schools of Engi- neering, Accountancy, Law, and Pharmacy. ississippians 24

EjHfflZEdoors CREATIVITY TALENTS I Imagination is the only way to travel to places you have never been while sitting in a classroom learning biology. An artist can image a field of beautiful flow- ers, but until he or she puts it on a canvas or a pad then the world has to go without seeing the beauty trapped inside that individual. Imagination lets us continue to spice up our life with fresh ideas and innovation. Imagination is just another marvel of the human brain. To conjure up fantasies that seem real and to then translate that into a play or novel is absoulutely remarkable. Walk through the Grove on any given sunny day and you will find people drawing, painting, or taking pictures. These people, regardless of how they chose to show it, are displaying their creativity and imagingation. Creativity because they ' re doing something that they have inside of them and not something that they ' ve copied from someone else. Imagination because they had an idea and put forth and effort to transform it into a reality. Without the creativity and imagination of countless individuals the world would be extremely boring. 26
