AL 29AB -13- Tape A M: the time you're in school, you get the illusion that everything that's happening now happened before that just exactly the way it's happening now and will continue to happen there forever. This of course is why a lot of alumni get all shook up sometimes when they come back and-fy find that it isn't the way it was when they went to school. And to them it was very nice and fun and pretty. Yg knowthey..... they enjoyed it, it was great. And they sort of think gee, you guys doirnthis sort of thing and that and) y know they... they're disgusted with it. They say why don't you do it this way. We had a lot of fun doing it that way! And I think this is part of the problem where alumni are not happy with the way things are now. J: That's almost any place that you go back to. M: Yeah. Yeah. Ya know a man said yp can't go..... J: Can't go home? M: Yeah. J: Yeah. Were you a member of a fraternity or were you..... did you remain independent? M: I remained independent. J: And were you approached thoughlor did you attend rush at all? M: No, I didn't attend rush. Uh.... I didn't.... I was probably pretty naive at the time, didn't push in that direction, probably/for one thing couldn't afford it so I didn't bother. The only thing I got active in uh.... my freshman yearof course I had to participate in all the freshman eventsjuh o, y# know. Football season the first fallI uh every football game was the parade downtown. You've probably heard about the thing. Downtown you quickly...... /f you had a good friend you told em don't wear slippers. Y'oA know there was always somebody that wears slippers at the pajama parades /
