I think the big advantage of being a student at Woodward is being able, in our community, to mix with all facets of America. I think if therels anything to the American dream it is that all people from all walks of life ... can live as one body, respect the worth of the other in- dividual, and prove that democracy can work, and that if it works here we can carry over to when we go to the outside world and in some way contribute to helping it work there. I think anybody in this business is in it primarily because he likes to work with young people, and l ... feel that this is my forte, that I work well with young peOple. I like to be with them. I think l understand them. i feel, in fact, that i probably feel more comfortable around them than I do my fellow adults. 50 i would say that's the most rewarding thing, to be with the young people, full of their vibrations, full of their anticipa- tions, full of their hopes, full of their dreams. It's good to be with people who have dreams. A In many ways we've seen the worst of the turmoil in the schools, but on the other hand I think we haven't seen the best of it yet. We have a long way to go. We're going to have a few little disturb- ances that might shake us to our bones, but these help settle the coffee grounds. If I had an unlimited choice .t. and i could drive 300 miles it'd be down in the Smoky Mountains walking the trail with my 'kids and wife with our lunch boxes in our hands and keepin' a wary eye out for the bears and just enjoying the nature and the fog and the fast streams and avoiding people. Thomas jefferson is the one individual I most admire for his fundamental belief in the democratic spirit and the worth of the individual, for his concern for the belief that all men, not only the wealthy or the educated, can contribute to democracy. , My wife knows very well this amazing fondness which does my stomach no ' good. I love my wife's home-cooked bean soup Not only do Ilove bean soup, but i like to eat a loafof bread with bean soup and this causes me infinite misery. But it's worth it. My favorite player ofthe Reds of the last twenty years has been Ted Kluszewskiu Ted Kluszewski to me personifies a sort of dignity of action, a man of obvious physical strength, who didn't get excited in a crisis, who didn't flip his lid like some ballplayers do when they have the decision go against them. If i was a young person, I'd probably wear bell bottoms, and I'd probably have my hair a little longer than my par- ents would want. I remember when I went to school if you didn't have a tan cashmere sweater that you wore over a t-shirt you just Weren't with it. Everybody wore the Little Abner shoes and the girls wore anklets. The thing to do with your hair . . . was to cut it in a butch. Fashions, like life, change, and each individual and each age expresses its individuality and I'm for individuality.

AUGUST 15 I like to get to practice kind of early, so it isn't rush-rush before the meeting. I usually come about fortynfive minutes early although it only takes about ten to get dressed. I had to adjust ail my pads today to make sure they felt right We had our meeting and we went over a few plays and I was surprised because I remembered most of these plays from last year. So then we went out on the field, and we went through calisthenics and agility drills, Next we worked on our block- ing fundamentals. Coach Campbell's driving us, He's saying that Elder's working that hard and Garfield's working that hard. It was hot out and after the first practice, I didn't feel like doing much of anything I just Iayed around for a while, but during practice I felt pretty good. I felt I was running hard. The coaches said I was hustling. After the second practice we worked on defense mainly and we still had to run sprints. That takes a lot out of you, running it in full gear, especially with our real heavy jerseys. My t-shirt was soaking wet, all the way down, and for a while there I didn't feel too good after practice. AUGUST 21 We were running plays offensively and nobody looked too good. The first team wasnIt firing out and the second team didn't know what they were doing. The linemen weren't getting on their as- signments fast enough and the backs weren't running hard. We were running an off-tackle play and James Williams came up to the line es- pecially slow, 50 Coach Campbell stopped every- thing there and challenged Williams to hit him Campbell said he wasn't afraid of him even with- out equipment because he was hitting so soft. Campbell got a shield and Williams came up hard and hit him and Campbell pushed him right back about five yards. 50 we knew Campbell wasn't fooling around and we ran the plays harder than we had been. We have to run sprints at the end of practice. Nobody likes this but only a few people refuse to do it They take leg injuries, and these people have to jog around the field. Doc Collins always
