■■■I Well, the students here aren ' t particularly bright ... so when you start with undistinguished material you have to overcome a defect in the organism. Half the power of the team comes from. I ' m sure, the crowd; the dynamite crowd. I get so psyched I go crazy. In fact I get more excited being a spectator at this school than I did playing. Somehow I didn ' t consider myself to be a student, the ideal type. I wasn ' t a student really until this last year; before then I was just taking credits, I didn ' t really have any goals set. I sort of, I hate to say this, matured intellectually. It is much harder to get out of this college than it is to get in.

9MBM1 SSC . . Why Here? 11 I like the atmosphere here as far as it being a small school. I needed a place to go that was not too expensive, one that would give me a scholarship. You don ' t feel like a number, you feel like somebody. What about the scholastic as¬ pect? There ' s a scholastic aspect? This is a suitcase college unless you play a sport. The reason I came to school was to wrestle. In fact, the academic aspect is secondary to me, I don ' t need it because I know I already have a position when I graduate from school ... a job. It ' s known that President Craw¬ ford emphasizes sports. l Io, I wouldn ' t know a basket¬ ball from a football. We ' ve revamped the curriculum considerably to make it pointed more towards lifetime sports skills. Any college you go to is what you make it, if you make it boring then it ' s going to be boring . . . but I don ' t think the school is boring . . . they have activities going on . . . I ' m talking about the attitudes of some of the people on the campus. I came here because my friends came here. I was offered the aid I would need to come to school. It ' s really hard for me here, I really have to study and I have to apply myself. If I don ' t I won ' t make it. I ' m not satisfied with being an old retired man sitting around home. I want to be able to do something, I want to make things happen. In the cafeteria you could have all you wanted if by chance you were insane enough to want a second helping. It ' s not easy cooking on such a large scale. Everybody goes back 2 or 3 times for everything, as many times as they want for seconds and thirds, and they still complain about the food. One of the biggest farces in the school this year was the CCPB elec¬ tion, it was the largest waste of paper I ' ve ever seen. I don ' t know why they even bothered with it, they only had one person running per office. He told us he didn ' t care if we passed the course or not because he was getting paid regardless. Right now the people I know have more charm than intelligence . . . you have the feeling they ' re people, that sad bunch of people through whose heads an interesting thought will never pass.
