24 Ray Vaughn Pyle II and Vincent J. Pyle are identical twins and many people feel that this makes them alike in all aspects. They belong to the same organizations on campus, but their philosophies and outlooks on life make them individuals. They stand strongly for what they believe and intend to live their lives accor- dingly. Vaughn and Vince came to the U of A in 1968 when they were becom- ing involved in the black movement which was strong in their home of Washington, D.C. The Black Student Union, which they joined because it seemed mandatory, like a duty, was very strong in its national sympathies. However, it did not deal with the University on its own level. Two years later it was almost dead. Vaughn became president of BSU in 1972 and spent that year trying to change its image from that of the violent, tough, militant athlete. Last spring the BSU gained an important position when the ASUA Ap- propriations Board granted the group funding, thus recognizing it as a valid campus club. Both Vince and Vaughn joined the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity because Alpha is and was an accelerating and confidence establishing point in my life, said Vaughn. He added that Alpha had a legacy of leaders in its membership rolls including Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King Jr., and O. J. Simpson. Vince received his B.S. in zoology in 1 972 and then took off to work. He became dissatisfied with this so applied for med school and now is working on a degree in creative writing while awaiting acceptance. I found out quite late that it is possible to major in something other than chemistry or biology to apply for med school. After taking off a year after his sophomore year and transferring to another school for a year, Vaughn is finishing a degree in sociology with a minor in bio-science and govern- ment. Hoping to get accepted to law school, Vaughn is optimistic about his LSAT scores. Vince and Vaughn Pyle ARTICLE BY: TRISHA PREBLE PHOTOS BY: JON OSBORN H V

Doug Kelly Doug Kelly honor student, athlete, fraternity member, medical student is totally involved in every part of University life. I have deep feelings for the U ... I like my school ... the campus ... the people . . . the social situation . . . the way people treat you. School ' s gotta mean more than just going to classes and taking notes. Doug supports this belief by his affiliation with Sigma Nu fraternity and his involvement with the school wrestling team. A shoulder separa- tion last year ended his wrestling with the team, but he still works out whenever possible with his favorite sport. The best part of athletics for Doug was getting to know guys on the team I got to know another side of people. Scooter, as he is known, ac- cumulated a seemingly countless number of scholastic awards in- cluding: Sophomore Man of the Year Award, the WAG Scholar-Athlete Award, a listing in Who ' s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges, and past participation in Phi Eta Sigma, Sophos, Chain Gang and Bobcats. Doug applied for early admission and was accepted into med school his junior year. Equally unique, he skipped his senior year and won the Peter Lowell Dreyden Award as the outstanding senior Traditions member. Medical school dominates his life now. Med school was always in the front of my mind, he says. Presently in his second year of a three-year ARTICLE BY: ROBBIE WILSON PHOTOS BY: JON OSBORN program, Doug hopes to combine his interests in sports and medicine by becoming a physician for an athletic team and possibly a career as an orthopedic surgeon. To be a doctor means intense work and complete concern for peo- ple, and Scooter ' s goals are aimed in that direction. I don ' t want it to sound corny, but what I ' m doing now is getting all the information I can so that someday I can help somebody.

Chess Trethewy ARTICLE BY: GREG ZIEBEL PHOTOS BY: LARRY LAUSER Robert Chess Trethewy, the yell king for the Varsity Cheerleaders, is better known as his alias of the in- comparable A-Man, conqueror of all U of A athletic foes and champion of the rabid Wildcat fans. A former student of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Chess is currently concentrating his efforts toward the field of foreign service, as he anticipates a future as am- bassador to New Zealand! Looking back, Chess has no regrets concerning his decision to leave the Academy, and viewed his appointment by Congressman Sam Steiger as a great honor and a tremendous opportunity. It was Chess ' s feeling, though that Academy life was not suited to him. There is a tremendous loss of in- dividualism and although I admire the discipline and think it is essential for the military or any large unit or team, I didn ' t enjoy the limitations and so felt it best to leave instead of compromising my beliefs. Chess 1 involvement on campus goes beyond his role as A-Man and yell king. He also is a member of Traditions and Blue Key, and hashes at a sorority. Chess is a deeply religious in- dividual, and he feels that the organized church has no place in his life. Religion for him is a personal thing, and his relationship with God is something the church or no other man can share. As yell king he loves to perform in front of the fans, but he is sensitive to comments about his cheerleading and A-Man routines. Spending much of his time during games clowning around and having fun, Chess ad- mits he is a ham at heart. 25
