Freshman not afraid to put the smack down on robbers, and would like to buy a roller coaster

Wildcat: Hi, I'm Claire from the Daily Wildcat and you're On The Spot.

Kulesha: Oh, no!

Wildcat: Are you scared?

Kulesha: No, but I've seen what it can do to people.

Wildcat: Ruins the rest of their lives?

Kulesha: No, just their freshman year.

Wildcat: So, have you ever been held up here at the store?

Kulesha: No, I haven't.

Wildcat: Nobody's ever held out a gun and asked you to hand over all of your Baby Ruth Bars?

Kulesha: I don't even think we have · oh yeah, we do.

Wildcat: So what do you think you would do if someone held you up?

Kulesha: I really don't know.

Wildcat: Do you think it would entail running around screaming and wetting your pants?

Kulesha: No, I'm not that easily scared.

Wildcat: So you'd put the smack down on them?

Kulesha: Yeah, definitely.

Wildcat: So if you had to blow a million dollars all at once in some sort of silly way, what would you do?

Kulesha: Umm · I'd buy a roller coaster.

Wildcat: What kind of roller coaster?

Kulesha: One with a lot of loops.

Wildcat: Where would you put it?

Kulesha: In the middle of the campus on the Mall · instead of the Alumni Plaza.

Wildcat: Ah, that's a very good idea. But don't you think the alumni would get sick going round and round in circles?

Kulesha: Yeah, probably.

Wildcat: Do you miss class often?

Kulesha: No, not so far. Maybe later in the semester.

Wildcat: Are you a freshman?

Kulesha: Yeah, second semester.

Wildcat: So have you been put through the freshman rituals of being thrown into dumpsters?

Kulesha: No.

Wildcat: Stuffed into lockers?

Kulesha: No, and I don't wanna try that either.
