He's full of onergy and pute it alI to good use. Ho is on the volleyball, basketball, badminton, wrestlingand tennis teains. Do you wonder how he does it? The truth is, not aIl of these teams run at the saine time. SMASH, however, is coming up and ho seenis pretty excited about the whole thing.

AUSTIN Spring is springing, Austin, and ail the melting snow and sunshine have certainly put the Wildcat in the mood for a little change of extracurricular scenery. The onset of this great switch was marked by preparations for Austin's 24-hour Fast For Life ta be held April 7 and 8. One of the most exciting and exhilarating ovents of the school year, the Fast follows the suit of last May's incredibly succossful 30-hour Famine.
