The week was designed to enhance the social, cultural and educational opportunities and experiences tor students. By introducing new students to other students as well as to faculty and administrators, this week provided an opportunity for everyone to hear about the special services and programs Ole Miss has to offer. Welcome Week activities have included such events as Union Unplugged, a student organization fair, jewelty and poster sales, a movie night, a tour of campus and the City of Oxford on the Rebel Ride and Fun Flicks. theEND Above: The joust champion.

I also look ; • forward to the actual Red and Blue game StUCtetltS eXClteU CtDOUt that was played at the end of that week. This year, on April 6, the Ole Miss Rebels scrimmaged to see who was better, the red team or the blue team. The Red team, lead by Eli Manning, beat the Blue team, 49-21. The real surprise came when Three Dog Night played during the halftime show. Everyone there was caught up in the thrill of being a Rebel fan. This was only a foreshadowing of the awesome football season that was to come. I know that as long as I am a student at Ole Miss, I will look forward to the spring semester and the excitement that comes with the Grove Bowl. theEND the upcoming football season 1 ! 35 Robert Williams and 56 Germain Landurm may have played on opposite teams for The Grove Bowl, but the rest of the season they are on the same team.
