Tender babyvback ribs? Never fear, Doc is here. He'll tape p good, oh dear Matthew, but you'll never play the violin When you get your roll, you throw it in your locker and hit the can. Fifteen minutes later, you're getting dressed- unless, of course, you're Guy, in which case, you take a shower first and then get dressed for practice. After that, you walk into Doc's opera- ting room and he calls out in his un- mistakable, Southern Kaka'ako drawlz Hay, anny of yoo tellers need sam assistance? l'd be right happy to do yoo up goowd. There's all kind of stories about Doc - like his nick- name which is supposed to have come from the fact that he is working on or just finished with his Phd. Or how he'll fix you good if you cuss when From 2 till 4 p.m. he plays classical music, and anyone in there falls asleep. you're on the taping table: he'll stick a big swatch of white adhesive to your leg-hairs and yank it off real fast. Or how he plays his horrible classical music every afternoon from two till four, and how that music is so boring that his waiting room is lined with sleeping students.

You turn the corner, and all the showers are taken. Darn that ,swim teamg they got let out early againg they spend more time in the showers than in the pool. Oh well, that's OK.

There you go: everything you need! Sequence below: Basketballer Mike Kauhane sits on the famil- iar old taping room bench while Doc wraps away at his ankle. Yoo take care of that foot, yoo hear.
