Authors give impressions of conference
The sixth Oxford Conference for the Book brought a whole slew of literary types to spend much of this weekend reading and discussing books (of course) and various things related to books.
The conference, which ran through much of Friday, Saturday and Sunday, covered a wide range of topics and had readings from a variety of authors.

Students have fun weekend, with and without Derby Day
Not every weekend at Ole Miss is interesting. Some weekends not much at all happens, the town is still and the campus is quiet. Some weekends everybody goes home. And some weekends are created and annual and then live on in myth.
This week's book, movie picks courtesy of procrastination
Spring hit us all pretty hard last week. You've got a research paper due in a couple of weeks, and you make up your mind to get a head start. But as you get in your car to go to the library, you find it steering itself towards Puskus Lake instead with a copy of "The Stand" in the passenger seat. What's going on, you say? It's spring fever, ladies and gentleman. Read this week's survey and see how the rest of the student body is managing to procrastinate.
