The Oxford Film Festival has entertained citizens of Oxford for nearly a decade, and this year, the OFF crew is asking for more involvement from the festival-goers — particularly from those in fraternities and sororities at the University of Mississippi.
The film festival will kick off its ninth season at The Lyric tonight and spend the rest of the weekend at the Oxford Malco theater. Those in charge are looking to the Greeks to take a bigger part in this year’s festival.

As Mitt Romney claimed his third win of the primary season in Nevada Saturday night, the fight for the nomination continues — Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Ron Paul have all pledged to stay in the race. But while Romney is pulling ahead of the rest of the pack, Republican voters need to question the relevance of the remaining candidates. 

When the season changes, people usually adjust to new temperatures but, at least in the Residential College South, the adjustment was a bit unexpected.
As students came back in from the winter break, those at the RC faced not only an unusual heat outside, but inside the building as well.
“On the first day we got here, we could not sleep,” undecided sophomore Austin Wheeler said. “It was way too hot.”
While students are able to control the temperature in their rooms within a few degrees, for many, that wasn’t enough.

By the late 1990s, the University of Mississippi had already enrolled its first black student, cheered on its first black student-athlete, elected its first black Miss Ole Miss and crowned its first black Miss University. However, at the turn of the millennium the students had yet to be led by a black Associated Student Body president.

The 2008 presidential election between Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama was purported to be about hope and change; the next president was going to change the status quo from a gridlocked Washington to a Washington that worked for the American people, rather than lobbyists and peddlers like Newt Gingrich, corporations and Wall Street. But the voters eventually got what they deserved. 

In a world of social media craze, we are becoming so unbelievably exposed to different sources of information that we often neglect to realize what we are taking in. Recently, informational or opinionated “viral” YouTube video links have been posted to Facebook walls and Twitter feeds. Most college students have seen the “Religion versus Jesus” video in the past month or two, and similar videos are spreading around our social media outlets like wildfire. I saw a link to another one of these videos — this time, though, I watched it. 

With her house quiet and her husband and children sleeping, Julie Cantrell sat down and started writing her first novel. Now, “Into the Free” will debut this Tuesday at a launch party at Off-Square Books. 

University of Mississippi art students got the chance to bring their experiences to the Oxford community during Wintersession.
During the class, Art 398, known as service learning in arts, students paired with Oxford Elementary School students to create “Walls that Teach” in the school cafeteria.

This past weekend was a proud one for the Ole Miss campus. Ten outstanding students were inducted into the Hall of Fame, joining countless others who have contributed effort and energy into their time here as undergraduates.

The infamous term “bad economy” became all too real for the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.  

Amid one of the most controversial time periods in University of Mississippi history, the 2010-11 staff of the Ole Miss yearbook, The Ole Miss, came together and produced a yearbook that has since been recognized as one of the best in the country.
Each year, the Columbia Scholastic Press Association chooses finalists for its gold medal and The Ole Miss is making its first appearance on that list since the 2006-07 edition.
