Ole Miss Greek life retreat ends abruptly with bias concerns

This weekend, leaders from Ole Miss Greek life convened upon Camp Hopewell in Lafayette County for a three-day retreat designed to build leaders and bring campus closer together. The retreat was cut short Saturday night, however, after three black students found a banana peel in a tree in front of one of the camp’s cabins.
The students shared what they found with National Pan-Hellenic Council leaders, sparking a day’s worth of camp-wide conversation surrounding symbolism, intended or not. In the midst of the open and sometimes heated discussion, senior accounting major Ryan Swanson said he put the banana peel in the tree when he could not find a trashcan nearby.

Not convinced. They're playing at my local casino next month. $100 a ticket. I've decided it would be too depressing. If they hadn't dug the depths and done a supermarket ad I may have given them the benefit of the doubt.

I see they have "replaced" Rick Parfitt with a guitar player who was born in 1986, so after the "End of the Road" tour.

Honest to whatever, just stop. Admit you're done and retire properly with a smidge of dignity. It's just so sad. I know people like to think they're seeing the real deal but they're not. Queen are the same, much as I like Adam Lambert, he's not Freddie. John Deacon is the only one with class.

We used to go and see them in the early 70's, must be in their 80's by now?

Can not remember how much to get in, but the equivalent of $20 max.

Saw 'em here...



That was.... a while ago.

Pulaski

Well only Francis Rossi is an original member. Andy Bown is the second longest serving member, and he joined in 1982, shortly before their farewell tour.

A friend was particularly keen, I used to go but never bought any of their records.

Pulaski

Early on, more than 80% of my record collection was Quo albums. The balance was Def Leppard albums.

moneypenny20

That's a worry. I've never had either in my collection.

Pulaski

That's a worry, indeed.

I doubt I will ever see Quo again, but I saw Def Leppard less than four months ago, and that was probably the fifth or sixth time I have seen them here in the US. Combined with several times I saw Def Leppard in the UK, I am probably up to around 10-12 times, which puts them on a par with Thunder who I think I saw ten times.

Ditto. I didn't and still don't like either bands.

Pulaski

What ever you want.

Jerseygirl

Thought it was Whatever You Want.
