To the casual observer on a busy game day, the mounted officers patrolling downtown Oxford may look like the perfect photo op. However, they are actually a master class in operational efficiency and effectiveness. Dismissing these horses as mere mascots for the Oxford Police Department completely misses the mark on modern law enforcement practicality and […]
“I slept two hours last night” has become the most overused flex on campus. We glorify the 2 a.m. study grind, conflating physical exhaustion with academic success. Library marathons after dark have turned into an odd sort of status symbol. Suffering through a four-hour cram session, however, is hardly a badge of honor; it is […]
This semester, Starship rolled out a cutting-edge lineup of delivery robots on the University of Mississippi campus, with models that look cuter than the older ones and possess more precise motion detection. For most of us, the Starships have always been just another part of campus. When you walk to the Student Union, it is […]
Students at the University of Mississippi are back from summer break, and for many of us, the start of classes is a looming cloud of anxiety. While there are various tips and tricks out there to alleviate back-to-school stress, my new favorite strategy is getting a brand-new hairstyle. Imagine walking onto campus and surprising all […]
Harper’s Bazaar recently deemed the neck scarf Kendall Jenner wore in her pre-Oscars appearance an “elegant styling trick” rather than calling it by its proper name: the dupatta.

Chinese dramas, often called C-dramas, have quickly become a global phenomenon in the entertainment industry. Historically popular within East Asia, they now attract millions of viewers worldwide on platforms such as Netflix, YouTube and iQIYI, including in Oxford, Miss. These dramas blend historical fantasy, romance and modern storytelling to bridge cultural and language barriers for […]
When Winter Storm Fern swept through Oxford, the destruction left behind more than just frozen branches and scattered leaves. The accumulation of ice caused irreparable damage to hundreds of campus trees, damaging a core facet of the University of Mississippi’s identity. The trees on the Ole Miss campus serve as far more than just decorative […]
On a campus filled with thousands of students from different hometowns, majors and backgrounds, becoming lost in the crowd happens more than we’d like. But in dance spaces across the University of Mississippi, music becomes a common language — one that does not require the same upbringing, culture or even level of experience. Dance can […]

College is the perfect time to get on a plane and temporarily abandon your comfort zone. This winter, the University of Mississippi is offering students an opportunity to go to […]
