Greg Tate media arts sophomore

Sophomore misses California weather, ponders a chance meeting with fast-food icons

WILDCAT: Are you from Arizona?

TATE: Heck no, I'm from Cali.

WILDCAT: Why would you go to school in Arizona? Media arts is huge in California.

TATE: Because it's too darn expensive.

WILDCAT: Very true. What do you want to do with your major?

TATE: I want to go into graphic arts.

WILDCAT: Awesome. Did you go to Hollywood a lot?

TATE: No. I am actually a few hours away. I'm from a city called Rialto.

WILDCAT: Do you like the weather here?

TATE: No ÷ it's hot as hell.

WILDCAT: But it's about to rain.

TATE: Yeah, right now it's kind of humid because the rain is about to crash down on our head, but it's OK. I'm still used to my perfect Cali weather.

WILDCAT: Isn't it ridiculous that one second it will be 105 degrees and then two minutes later we are being attacked by hail?

TATE: Yeah, it's like we live in South America, the Amazon or something.

WILDCAT: If you were to live in the Amazon, which animal would you want to be your neighbor?

TATE: Non-poisonous ones, of course. Probably just birds because I don't like things crawling on me.

WILDCAT: I'm very sweet, so bugs bite me. Just kidding.

TATE: Yeah, me too, with my milk-chocolaty skin.

WILDCAT: Say you are just walking one day, and Colonel Sanders, Ronald McDonald, Burger King and the Jack-in-the-Box are all just hanging out, and they tell you that you can ask one of them a question. Who would it be?

TATE: Probably ask Ronald McDonald, hang with him, ask him why his food is so nasty.
