Psychology sophomore won't cover herself with bologna, but will mother pink alien babies

Wildcat: Hi, I'm Claire from the Wildcat and you're on the spot.

Marchello: (laughing) Cool!

Wildcat: Have you ever been abducted by aliens?

Marchello: No, I haven't ever been abducted by aliens.

Wildcat: Are you sure?

Marchello: I'm pretty sure. I hope not. That would be a pretty scary thing not to know.

Wildcat: What do you think you would do if you were abducted? Would you go along with all the poking and the prodding?

Marchello: I don't think so. I'm not much of a poke-able person.

Wildcat: Do you think you'd mother any little alien babies?

Marchello: If they were cute alien babies, I probably would. But not if they were scary. Yeah, I could have little pink aliens; that would be OK.

Wildcat: So you wouldn't want a pinstripe or polka dot alien because it would clash with your style?

Marchello: No, especially if it were like a puke green color or something like that.

Wildcat: So it'd be OK as long as they were fashionable?

Marchello: Yeah, it'd be cool. I could deal with that.

Wildcat: Even if it had a tail?

Marchello: A little tail would be all right.

Wildcat: If you had to haze a group of people, what do you think you would do?

Marchello: Umm · I'd make them take care of the little pink aliens.

Wildcat: So would you go along with the hazing yourself? Like, if someone made you strap on some bologna and go running around with dogs?

Marchello: No, I don't think anything's worth jumping in a pit of dogs with bologna on me.

Wildcat: What's the most you think you'd go for if someone were hazing you?

Marchello: Umm · I dunno. I don't think I'd do anything humiliating.

Wildcat: Not even jumping into the Old Main fountain at midnight?

Marchello: Well, it depends, as long as it's not too cold. During the winter? Probably not.
