I AM ONE OF 34,000 .. . D. Wheeler W. McNeill Since I am one of 34,000 students, I find it hard to be singled out as an I know what you mean, how can a professor get to know you if he has a thousand other students and has you only once the whole time you are at UF. You ' re right. Most of my professors only know me as a number. I wish for once they ' d call me by my name. The professor may not know your name, but the university does. As soon as you forget to pay one bill, your name is automatically known and your records are flagged. Do you know the bank bounced my check for fees because of a computer error and they flagged my records? It was such a hassle trying to straighten that mess out. Just another inconvenience. That ' s not as bad as what happened to me. Tigert mixed me up with another and instead of flagging his records they flagged mine. You think you had a problem. Do you have the money for the Tom Petty concert tickets? Yep. Are you going to take that girl you met last weekend at the Islands? No way. You know what she did to me? She dumped me for some FSU wimp. Can you imagine! I ' m going to give up and W. McNeill join the priesthood. Oh, be real. When drop add lines cease existing, then I could believe you ' ll join the priesthood. Anyway, I think I ' m going to take that girl I ' ve been talking to in my class. If she doesn ' t accept, you could always ask that girl who came to the frat party last night. That ' s a good idea. See ya tomorrow. Students find their bike combination just another number to memorize. A Gator Getter smiles with approval during a victory. The true gator finds only orange and blue in his wardrobe and his blood.

ARE WE GOING TO . Are we going to the basketball game tonight? Well, I can ' t. I ' ve got a meeting I feel like I have meetings every night. I can ' t keep my head on straight any more. Too bad you can ' t go to the game. A group of us are going and then after the game we ' re all going to celebrate our win. Our win? How do you know we ' re going to win? With all of us there yelling, they can ' t help but win. So, where are you going afterward? We were thinking of going to Maybe I ' ll meet you there after my meeting. It shouldn ' t last too long. Who else is going? There are about six of us. You the rest of the people I waited in line with to get tickets for the Georgia game? Yeah, I think I did meet them. Well, we all got to be pretty good friends while we were waiting in that line. You know that ' s the only benefit of lines. The first thing you get used to going here is the lines. In four years when you graduate you get a degree in waiting, too. Isn ' t that the truth? The other line I remember was the one for Growl tickets. Four of us alternated waiting. We each took four hour shifts. How many tickets did you get? We each got four. I ' ve got a group of friends coming down next year for Growl. I don ' t know how I ' m going to get them all tickets next year. The duplicate fee card scam won ' t work again. Look on the bright side. You ' ve got a while to come up with some other way. Hey, did you get those tickets for the Tom Petty concert? Got them yesterday. They ' re my group. You know I wouldn ' t miss that concert for anything. It ' s going to be a blast. The other group I really like is Stray Cats. Are you going to that one? No, that ' s one I have to miss. I ' m going home for the weekend to see my old friends. When will you be back? I ' ll be back Monday. I have a test Wednesday and have to catch the review. A bunch of us are getting together to look over the material, also. Well, good luck. I have to go or I ' ll be late for my meeting. The only thing better than beating FSU is stealing the goal post (and not having to pay for it). J. Costa 4 Groups
