Response to Boxers, Briefs and Book
I found John Grisham's article to be a true account of discovering your passion. One shouldn't find the work they were meant to do in life easy, it should be something they stumble around and fall into. Half of the point of having a career is the journey that you take to find it. Young aspiring writers should see this as a how-to guide; if you struggle and labor for hours over the start of a book, chances are, it will be a great one.
Late Wednesday night, a vehicle was pulled over on Jackson Avenue by an Oxford Police Department officer. Seen above, the vehicle turns onto campus at the officer's request to avoid traffic backup. This was one of many traffic stops seen this week, a rise which seems to be signaled by the return of University of Mississippi students each semester.

Perpetual Groove Lights Up The Lyric
Brock Butler, lead guitarist and vocalist for the art/rock/jam band, Perpetual Groove, solos during their hit song, "Three Weeks," at The Lyric Theater, located on the square in downtown Oxford. The band started at 10:30pm and played until 12:30pm to an enthusiastic crowd of citizens ranging from ages young to old. This is one of the first shows on their fall tour and thirty-three are to follow in the southeastern United States.
Busy Square means More Busts
High popularity at bars such as the Lyric has led Oxford Police to crack down on underage drinking. Friday night four bartenders where arrested for selling to minors and this past Wednesday many students where charged with "Minors in Possession".

OHS Football Season
The Varsity Oxford High School Football team huddles at their practice today getting ready for the game Friday September 9 at 7:30 in Senatobia.

Sophomore Elizabeth O'Connell studies for an upcoming Biology test instead of visiting the Square on a Thursday night. More and more students are passing on the fun and taking advantage of the crucial study time before an important test or assignment.

Subway in the Union
The restaurant chain Subway has opened its doors on the third floor of the Student Union. With such an abundance of students lining up to devour a sub, it seems to be a popular choice. Furthermore, it provides a healthy alternative for the student body, with 7 subs under 320 calories.
Caution: Construction Ahead
Students navigate their way around construction right off of University Circle. Construction all over campus is not an uncommon sight.
Response to Boxers, Briefs, and Books
I am mainly impressed by the persistence of John Grisham to find a job. The pursuit of finding what he wanted to is what actually led him to finding his talent. Journalism students can learn from this by realizing that not they will have to work for everything they get in life.
Drop in Union Traffic
With the increase of incoming freshmen the Union is still lacking the business. The Thursday 6 o'clock dinner rush is non-existent.

South Lot is a Success!
Students at the University of Mississippi are taking advantage of the OUT Bus System. Using the Green Line Bus, students can be shuttled on or off campus and taken to the South Lot, one of many places. This system is saving students time and money by using the South Lot and OUT Bus.

Students Buckle Down as Classes Begin
Classes have begun on campus and students are preparing. As the semester continues more students will be seen reading like this student.
A Parking Predicament
Students, faculty, and visitors have come to find that parking is no longer as easy as it once was. With an overwhelming amounts of new students attending the University this school year it is nonetheless an obstacle to find parking each day. In the picture above we see numerous cars parked illegally on the side of the road because there is simply no where else to park. More and more parking tickets are being written and less and less cars are finding spots to park each day.
Successful Sales at the Student Union
Students search for the perfect poster to adorn the walls of their new home here at Ole Miss.

As Parking Spots Fleet, Bus Seats Fill
With this year's large addition of Freshman and Transfer students, available parking spots at the University of Mississippi are depleting. People who once took the O.U.T. bus system for granted are now embracing it as the most practical solution in commuting to and from campus.
