ess entials 5 things every Rebel must take part in before they graduate 1 . Graceland Too in O T Ii 11 Holly Springs, Miss. Where Jesus is the King of Kings and Elvis is the King of rock-n-roll by KelleyHunsberger When is the last time that you spotted Elvis. ' If your answer is the last time you were abducted by aliens and taken on a UFO, you would probably fit in well at Graceland Too. Even if thats not your answer, you shoul head on over to Holly Springs, Miss., but not before midnight, to the home of Paul McLeod. McLeod is an Elvis-enthusiast, and thats an understatement, who has turned his home into a shrine of everything relating to the King. McLeod has given up a lot to pursue his Elvis passion. He chose his dream of a 24 7 Elvis museum over his wife and sent her packing with, according to him, a one-million dollar settlement. McLeod has also given up sleeping for his dream. He only sleeps four hours a night because that is how much the king used to sleep. McLeods obsession has even affected his son, who McLeod fittingly enough named Elvis Aron Presley McLeod. McLoed has hung pictures throughout his home of his son when he was young next to those of the real Elvis when he was young and challenges guests to figure out which is the real Elvis and which is just his son. Past celebrity visitors, according to McLeod have included Jenna Bush, Chris O ' Donnell, Matthew Lillard, Bill Clinton, and Lisa Marie Presley. So next time its late and your looking for something fun and different to do, then Graceland Too should be your first choice. The five dollars you pay to enter is well worth the entertainment and information, no matter how much of it is really true. And just remember that when you hit three visits you become a lifetime member, get to take a picture in the Elvis leather jacket and with the Elvis guitar, and will never have to pay to enter again! theEND For years, Ole Miss students have made the 30- minute drive to Holly Springs to see his huge collection of Elvis memorabilia. Graceland Too has become a mecca for Elvis fans young and old. After only three trips, you receive a lifetime pass for endless latenight adventures. It is as much of an Ole Miss latenight tradition as chicken-on-a-stick and Huddle House. - Gordon Gent, a senior international studies major from Gulfport, Miss. Above: Paul McLeod has been an Elvis fan for most of his life He even gave up his wife to pursue his Elvis passion Left: Pictures of every visitor to Graceland Too line the walls of a hallway.
