'vu Warrior quarterback Richard Basil who came to East Central from Ala- bama has found a home both on the field and off. l get homesick sometime, confided Maria Iahman of Demopolis, Ala- bama, but most of the time I'm really glad l'm here. XX . 5 Which way to Alabama'? ask Tim Davis and Voronza Petty, both na- tives ot that state. Raymond Leaks V . Cv from North Carolina will drop them off on his way home. .ww- Out-of-state students come to East Central knowing few if any people here. lt doesn't take long, however, for them to find that making friends is easy. The only bad part about East Central is the week- ends, Randy Fullington and Bryne Drummond, both from Houston, Texas, agree. When Friday afternoon comes, the district students load up and go home, and un- less there's a game, the week- ends get long. When out-of-state students leave and return to their home states, they spread the word about East Central, and in a few years, some of them will choose to send their children here. Randy thinks he's far enough away from home that surely no one will ever find out he put on a miniskirt. l 1 7

We've Come A Long Way Cut-Of-Staters Find Home At ECJC Most of the students at East Central Junior College come from the five counties which support the college. However, each year students from other states travel to East Central to enroll. The college has made a name for itself as a place which makes everyone feel at home. Whether a student comes to East Central as an athlete to play football, bas- ketball, or baseball or whether he or she comes for other rea- sons, the end result is usually the same. ECJC becomes a second home, and leaving is a difficult thing to do. l'll always feel a part of ECJC, Scott Engle, an Ala- bama native said. I like it here, and l've made some good friends. I know when it comes time to leave, it will be like leaving home again. Nikki Minard chose East Central be- cause she had heard ot its high quality of education, and her hometown ol Demopolis, Alabama, is only a short drive away. 16 Patrick Luttrell, a sophomore from Houston, Texas, stops in the hall be- fore going to lit class to talk about an upcoming basketball game with Amy Davidson and Michelle Gray.
