I ' ve tried, well I’ve tasted beer, r II put it that way, and I don ' t like it. When you get drunk you get rowdy, but when you get high you mellow. I don ' t want anything to do with them at all, I ' ve never even seen them. I’ve smelled it in the dorms, but I ' ve never seen a joint. My attitudes are basically the same since community college. I still drink when I can, I still try to get over when I can. I ' m just typical¬ ly a fun loving person. You can ' t really blame a person for being a homosexual, it has to do with their background and drives, something deep down within the person. I don ' t think you should throw them in a corner and condemn them, I think you should try, I don ' t know, something should be done to help. Have I ever had any contact with homosexuals? I will say one thing, I actually think the temperature of this room should be changed. 5

mwtm Moralities My morality is based upon my experience, what I ' ve seen to be the truth. It doesn ' t mean my morality is right, it ' s just the one that I have. For instance, if someone asked me if selling dope was immoral I ' d say no, as long as it was a good grade of dope and the price was fair. It would be immoral if it was a rip off. I don ' t drink, I don ' t use drugs, I don ' t chase the women, therefore I couldn ' t really give an opinion on that. The much fabled sex life of college, something which I ' d looked forward to for all my life, I couldn ' t wait to get to those ' easy ' college girls, but I really didn ' t think they were that easy. To my surprise, it turned out to be just that easy. If I feel something is wrong, then that ' s it. I won ' t do it. I ' ve gotten wilder, I ' ve opened more. I used to be scared of people. I . . . went downhill. I don ' t drink. I watch everyone else get drunk and that ' s as much fun. Sexuality is more open here than at home. If two guys are gonna get married, who ' s gonna be the guy and who ' s gonna be the girl ? ' Cause somebody ' s giving up something and it ain ' t gonna be me, that ' s for sure! My basic athletic, jock sorta, conservative upbringing in me tends me, in moments of haste and anger, to classify some of the males on this campus as ' fags ' but I really haven ' t had the occasion to meet one. Queer as in odd or queer as in homosexual, that boy ' s daffy J 4

wmmmm Involvement There is no substantial reward for working in a campus organization other than the personal satisfaction of doing something and seeing it work. Part of it I think is the student ' s fault, because if you want to find out you can find out. There are ways of i doing it but part of it is the Program Board ' s fau lt, because it is their responsibility to make it easier to find out. I don ' t attend concerts or any¬ thing like that because I ' d rather hear it on a record. Well, my roommate was the captain of the soccer team and I went to watch him be the captain rather than to watch the soccer game. What do I think of those who are involved? I don ' t really know them. If the people aren ' t involved and they don ' t want to be involved and they say nothing about what ' s going on around them, I think that ' s their decision. But the ones that aren ' t involved and make no attempt to be involved and then bitch about the organizations that are trying to work things out; I think they have no right to bitch. Involvement for me meant living in the dorm rather than going out for sports or working on the yearbook and things like that. The main thing for me about going to college is that the social aspect is just as important as the academic. On an individual level you can see how a person may not have the time to spend with an organization, but going on a campus of 3,000 people and only finding, say, less than 50 who are willing to put any substantial amount of time into these organizations is pretty Incredible. 6
