This c o n s t a n t j u x t a p o s i t i o n of segm e n t s of P a t o n ' s life o c c u r r i n g at different times causes the reader t o perceive h o w t h e s e s e g m e n t s e x i s t e d later as m e m o r i e s in the author's consciousness.

T h e fact t h a t P a t o n reveals so m u c h a b o u t his o w n c h a r a c t e r makes the book fascinating.

HE A L W A Y S e x a m i n e s t h e possible implications of his a c t i o n s .

Y o u can also be sure t h a t the r o o m s in t h e m e n ' s d o r m s w o u l d be k e p t a lot n e a t e r .

Lver since we w e r e b o r n m o s t of us have b e e n b r o u g h t u p u n d e r the t e a c h i n g s of C h r i s t , a n d t h i s is a c h u r c h - a f f i l i a t e d s c h o o l . If we have l e a r n e d to be g o o d Christians, t h e n t h e r e s h o u l d be n o objections.

T h e r e s e e m s t o have b e e n a c h a n g e s o m e w h e r e since ihe Sentinel a r t i c l e a p p e a r e d last m o n t h .

MY G U E S S IS t h a t o n e of t h e " p o w e r s t h a t b e " in H o p e ' s a t h l e tic d e p a r t m e n t read S m i t h ' s rem a r k s in t h e p a p e r and t h e n hustled t o t h e p h o n e t o m a k e a l o n g - d i s t a n c e call t o t h e new coach. Upon contacting Smith, the caller f r o m H o p e t o l d him t o w a t c h w h a t he said f o r p u b l i c a t i o n . T h a t ' s j u s t m y guess, of c o u r s e , a n d m y guessing h a s n ' t b e e n t o o g o o d lately.

But y o u have t o a d m i t t h a t S m i t h ' s " t e a c h er f i r s t - c o a c h s e c o n d " r e m a r k is strangely similar t o t h e a t t i t u d e e x p r e s s e d in R o b B e n c h l e y ' s storyW H A T IT A L L finally c o m e s d o w n t o , of c o u r s e , is w h a t d e f i n i tion is b e i n g used f o r t h e w o r d "recruiting." For many people on this c a m p u s , t h e w o r d h a s a sinister c o n n o t a t i o n . T o t h e m , it m e a n s going o u t and " b u y i n g " t h e services of an a t h l e t e a n d using s c h o l a r s h i p s or g r a n t s o r l o a n s t o " p a y " the athlete.

T h o s e w h o argue this w a y say that recruiting top-flight athletes will also m e a n l o w e r i n g of a d m i s sion r e q u i r e m e n t s , a n e c e s s a r y move in o r d e r t o let in t h e " d u m b jocks."

IN BENCHLEY'S article, athletic director G o r d o n Brewer talks a b o u t a t h l e t e s w i t h p o o r grades. But t h e r e is a t r e m e n d o u s n u m b e r of a t h l e t e s w h o are also good s t u d e n t s . I d o n ' t t h i n k a n y c o a c h at a s c h o o l like o u r o w n is going t o go o u t a n d r e c r u i t a high school athlete who can't handle high s c h o o l grade-wise. T h e c o a c h w o u l d be w a s t i n g his t i m e and t h e athlete's time.

The "recruiting-is-a-bad-word" f o l k s also feel t h a t we a r e going t o have a f e w s u p e r - a t h l e t e s at H o p e , and t h a t as a result, t h e r e w o n ' t be a place o n t h e t e a m s f o r t h e " r e g u l a r g u y , " - t h e f e l l o w w h o is no big star b u t w h o g o e s o u t f o r a s p o r t b e c a u s e he e n j o y s it. D r .

L a w r e n c e G r e e n has said, in so m a n y w o r d s , t h e very s a m e t h i n g .

B U T L E T ' S BE realistic. A small liberal arts s c h o o l , like H o p e , isn't going t o land a w h o l e lot of " s u p e r - h u m a n " a t h l e t e s , n o m a t t e r h o w m u c h r e c r u i t i n g goes on.

My p o s i t i o n r e g a r d i n g a t h l e t i c r e c r u i t i n g is p r e t t y m u c h t h e s a m e as w h a t I a s s u m e C o a c h S m i t h ' s will b e . I d o n ' t t h i n k t h e r e is a need f o r a h i g h - p r e s s u r e sales talk approach. 1 think the prospective s t u d e n t - a t h l e t e s h o u l d be given a good p i c t u r e of t h e College as a w h o l e , and if he likes it, f i n e . If not, that's fine, too.

B U T I T H I N K it's good if t h e c o a c h himself gets involved w i t h the s t u d e n t - a t h l e t e . T h i s m a y t a k e a bit of traveling o n t h e c o a c h ' s part, but there's nothing wrong with t h a t .

T h a t ' s w h y 1 t h i n k so m u c h of t h e n e w s e t - u p here w i t h f o o t b a l l and b a s k e t b a l l b e i n g h a n d l e d b y d i f f e r e n t head c o a c h e s . C o a c h DeV e t t e , for e x a m p l e , will have much more time to devote to recruiting basketball players than he had w h e n h e was b o t h f o o t b a l l and b a s k e t b a l l c o a c h . If he m u s t travel, his less-busy s c h e d u l e will allow him t o d o so.

S P E A K I N G O F traveling, it s e e m s t h a t C o a c h S m i t h has s o m e of t h a t in m i n d . He is a s s o c i a t e d with Y o u n g Life, w h i c h is fairly big in t h e C h i c a g o area high s c h o o l s . S m i t h ' s w o r k with t h a t o r g a n i z a t i o n will give him g o o d o p p o r t u n i t i e s t o talk w i t h stud e n t s a b o u t H o p e College. A n d since h e m e n t i o n e d t h a t he h o p e s t o get s o m e s t u d e n t - a t h l e t e s f r o m the C h i c a g o area, I imagine he'll be t r a v e l i n g a bit in t h a t n e c k of t h e w o o d s n e x t fall a n d w i n t e r .

At least I h o p e he does. T h e w e s t e r n Michigan area is h a r d l y a h o t b e d of college f o o t b a l l prospects. T h e t i m e h a s c o m e f o r H o p e t o r e a c h o u t a little and recruit m o r e out-of-state stud e n t - a t h l e t e s A n d C o a c h S m i t h is t h e m a n w h o c a n d o it.
