In honor of National Banana Split Day Monday, the Wesley Foundation set up the longest banana split in Oxford with the help of a gutter, aluminum foil and plenty of bananas, ice cream and toppings for the splits. More than 200 students attended the event, a sweet end to the first day of classes at Ole Miss.
