Memphis State has opened up major career opportu- nities for me. -Joseph Shelton John Vollmer People ' The most unattractive feature about MSU is that everyone car- ries a suitcase (goes home on the weekends). A highpoint is the friendly atmosphere around campus. -John Christopher Wheeler Sports The best thing about MSU is MSU basketball. It ' s the only thing that brings all Memphi- ans together. -Tracie Murrell Devin Greaney Organizations The Navy (at MSU) is a good opportunity for people; it teaches one a lot about leadership and getting along with people. - Leonard Jamerson Sean Smith Serge Samaha Academics College has been a sort of prac- tice for the real world— learning to roll with the changes in a controlled enviroment. -William Eledge opening
