by KelleyHunsburger The campus life offered is what draws many students to come to school here. As freshmen, it helps us to build new realtionships and find our niche at Ole Miss. As seniors it is what we will miss the most. Campus life encompases the places we go, from a night at Hooligans to marina |frl-rmind(s ftnfI e -Scl «rrf7 ' irfrcluding everything we love about our lives here, from Square Books to the Doublp-Becker Arts Festival. Campus Life is the traditions that we, as students, hold dear. From Groving on football game Saturdays to eating a pizza roll or chicken-on-a-stick at Chevron at one o ' clock in the morning to the Red and Blue Game, we remain dedicated to our traditions. Whether paying a visit to Graceland Too or catching a play put on by the University Theatre Department, students are never in lack of something to do. We also make up a community that is ready to share their time in helping a worthy cause. Eeople fi£re take time out of busy class and social schedules to volunteer i f h pt lrounji Laf ay£tl£ C3unty. Campus life brings together a student body composed of many different identies and makes them one, because of the life they lead while they are here. No student can leave Oxford without taking with them a memory of Ole Miss. That is why we are unique and what makes our experience here different than at any other campus. theEND 6y KeCCeyQ-Cunsfcerger 15 campus life

Robin Freeman by KelleyHunsburger On Saturday, April 27, 2002, the Oxford Tourism Council held the seventh annual Double Decker Festival on The Square. The festival celebrates art, music and food. The festival began with a 5K and a 10K race that went through campus and to the home of William Faulkner. Twenty-four restaurant vendors featured food and drinks from their menu. Vendors included Downtown Grill, McAlisters Deli, Doe ' s Eat Place, City Grocery, and Bottletree Bakery. Art and music were probably the central part of the festival. One-hundred vendors displayed their work, including pottery, glass crafts, painting, photography, folk art, and woodwork. Musicians entertained the crowd throughout the day. Types of music included Cajun, rock- ' ri -roll, pop, Zydeco, gospel, country and Southern rock. theEND Above: The combination of good music, good food and good art seems to bring out the entire town for the Double Decker Festival on The Square.
