M I PORT. AN Ties dominated the sophomore class occupying their extra time away from school as well as at school. You can say I am a very big sports fanatic. I watch every game on TV that I can, and every morning I read the sports section from the Sali- na Journal and the Wichita Eagle Beacon. My walls are covered with basketball posters and magazine pic- tures. As far as clothes, I have t-shirts and shorts of KU, said Shelly Svaty. I watch all the sports I can if I like the sport, said Dan Lindenmeyer. I read the sports section first, and I will get clothes that have the team name or mascot on them. Although there were many fanatics, some stu- dents enjoyed sports with- out being one. I'm just an average fanat- ic, said Mike Bunch. I read the sports page but not first, and I watch some TV. I also collect baseball cards. There were many favorite sports, teams and players for both college and profes- sional. College basketball ranked first with Kansas University being the favorite college team. Danny Manning fol- lowed as favorite player. By far basketball is my favorite sport, said Svaty, because it requires a per- son to be a complete ath- lete. Football and baseball were also popular but at the professional level instead of college. Each sport had var- ious favorite teams and play- ers. Football is my favorite because there is a lot of physical contact, said Shayne Brown. I enjoy watching baseball because I like to play the game, and I want to keep up with who's hot and who's not, Bunch said. Some students didn't just enjoy the typical sports but also some very unique ones. Wes Llrbanek said that he enjoyed watching truck and tractor pulls with a pop- ular monster truck, 'Big- foot,' performing. Motorcycle racing was a favorite for Scott Weatherly. I love to watch the jumps and wrecks, Weath- erly said. Scott Truhlar also en- joyed an interesting sport. He said he liked fishing, and he would often watch it on TV. Seeing the sport 'live' was also a very exciting event. It's like a concert, said Joe Pilsl. lt's always better live. Svaty had the chance to attend her favorite sport while at the Olympics in 1984. The most exciting thing of being there live was just the thought of being in the same place with all those famous basketball players, Svaty said. With all the interest that sophomores showed in these activities is it any won- der that they became sports fanatics? - Amy Snook I...
