Summer school's over, and the football season's begun. The campus is crawling with students struggling with grades, those awaiting the presidential debates, and hormone-infested males. Listen up.
"Two classes I've got an A in, two I've got a C in, and I've got a D in another, and there's no way in hell I'm bringing that one up."
Way to be positive. Mom and Dad will be proud.
"I've got six weeks of reading to catch up on...Yeah, just got my Sports Illustrated's from home."
Who needs textbooks when you've got baseball playoffs, football and the start of the hockey season?
"It's not music yet."
This one came from a choir director as he encouraged his students to pick up their energy. It's October and tests are starting to pile up. What we're learning might not make sense now, but if all goes well, it just might come together in the end.
"Summer school was easier than high school."
What a nice sentiment on the quality of classes here at this esteemed university. UA students are getting as much out of their experience here as they did before they took the SAT.
"This is like a spare furniture room. We had a bigger newsroom, and I was on a small campus with a weekly."
Yes, the Wildcat newsroom leaves much to be desired, but the basement of the Memorial Student Union provides a great view of recycling bins and dirty lunch plates. How come the newsroom didn't get any of that space-age furniture seen in the television lounge?
"You're not going to watch the debates. What kind of an American are you?"
The Presidential debates are approaching. Be watching Oct. 6, Oct. 9 and Oct. 16 to see the political process in motion. Exercise your right to be informed. Be like Ross Perot - watch the debates.
