IT'S ALL RELATIVE
Mankato State U., Minnesota
GOOD THINGS ALWAYS HAPPEN
in threes. It was diplomas all
around for the Sogge family when
father, daughter and son all gradu-
ated on the same day this spring.
Coincidence? Maybe, but only two
years before that, their aunt, uncle
and grandmother also crossed the
Mankato State stage within hours
of each other to receive their diplo-
mas. Didn't Sister Sledge sing
about these guys?
DRINK UP!
U. of Florida
GEORGE SORIANO OF THE U.
of Florida has a drinking problem,
but he says he can handle it. Snap-
ple Corp. sent Soriano, a senior, 20
cases of the drink in response to a
letter he wrote singing the praises
of the company's product. For his
laudations of the fruity beverage,
Soriano received 480 16-ounce
bottles of strawberry lemonade -
his favorite flavor - and a Snapple
watch. "I'm kind of addicted to
Snapple," he says.
TEA TIME, PART 2
U. of California, Davis
HI AGAIN FROM SNAPPLE.
After deciding the perky drink ads
were "really terrible," UCD
student Sean Flinn and his band-
mates decided to "juice up" the
radio jingle. Although their
dream of receiving free cases of
the beverage were shattered, they
did get some money and that

AS THE SAYING GOES, A PICTURE'S WORTH A THOUSAND... BEERS.
Yeah, that's it. Or maybe it's a thousand beers are worth a picture.
Ohio U. '95 graduate A.J. Wolfe thought so. For his spring documen-
tary photography class he brewed up a project - Beer Goggles: Love,
Beer and Court Street, This is How We Look - on the Athens bar
scene. "It's a
documentary of

students," Wolfer
says. ACourt-

Just kidding.

a smile on my face," Flinn says.
Hearing the song on the radio,
that is.

YOU MA Y ALREADY
BE A WINNER
U. of Tennessee, Knoxville
TAMMY BEAVERS, A U. OF
Tennessee senior, got a visit from
the prize patrol, and she never even
had to send it in. She just signed up
for on-campus living and won a
free room for the '96 spring semes-
ter. The director of residence halls,
Jim Grubb, really got into the Ed
McMahon spirit as he delivered
the news of her prize right to her
dorm room with the announce-
ment, "Dreams really do come
true!" We hear Grubb's been hang-
ing out at the dean's office, laugh-
ing at all his jokes.

WHOEVER SAID ONE CENT

hanging around the ultimate
penny-pincher and recent U. of
Florida grad Joshua Smith. His
freshman hobby of picking pennies
off the ground, saving change and
receiving donations from friends
allowed him to pay off the remain-
ing $99.01 he owed for tuition his
senior year. The office graciously
accepted the coins, after insisting
that Smith put his name, Social
Security number and phone num-
ber on each of his 198 rolls.
Scrooge McDuck would be proud.

worth of South African boer goat
semen the school recently pur-
chased. The university bought the
semen from the $80,000 goat
because of the large frame, meati-
ness and consistent coloration asso-
ciated with the breed - three
qualities lacking in North Ameri-
can goats. Talk about bahhhhhd
investments.
TRASHY GET-UPS
Mankato State U., Minnesota
WHO NEEDS THE MALI WHEN
you have recycling bins? Members
of the women's center at Mankato
State hosted a toxic fashion show
in April to commemorate the 25th
anniversary of Earth Day. Partici-
pants strutted their bad, plastic,
environmentally unfriendly selves
while emcees explained the recycla-
bility of their outfits. One student
carried an umbrella made of 12-
pack soda cartons and wore plastic
garbage bag pants. But first prize in
our book goes to the student who
wore a full-
length skirt made
of plastic MSU
student ID cards.

MAYBE EDWARD W. SEESE WAS
A big David Letterman fan. When
Seese died in March, he left behind
$4.5 million to be used only for
scholarships to "C" students, much
like a smaller gift the gap-toothed
comic endowed to his alma mater,
Ball State U. The state of Florida
might later add to the Fort Laud-
erdale businessman's contribution
and raise the total to $8.5 million.
The bequest, the largest in the
school's history, could benefit as
many as 250 average Joes and
moettes each year.
