                                          ey ,  you,  come  here, ” yells  a  jock  to  a  brain  across  the  hall.
                                                Wh-what  do  you  want?”  stutters  the  brain.
                             ,   ,   ,    ,   „    1 need y °u  t0  do  mY  history paper  because  I  have  to  take  my girl  out  and
                             1  have  football  practice.  So  what  do  you  say?”  said  the  jock  casually.
                                    N-no,  why should  I,  what have you  ever  done  for me  except kick me  around and  be­
                               sides  1  don  t  have  time  either  I  have  to  work,”  declared  the  brain.
                                    This  is  a  typical  stereotyped  conversation  between  a  “jock”  and  a  “brain”.  Accord­
                                 ing  to  Michelle  Hilding,  a  freshman,  a  jock  is  a  good-looking guy,  who  is  totally  obsessed
                                  with  sports  and  isn't  too  worried  about  his  academics.  Rick  Sliva,  freshman,  stated
                                   that  a  brain  is  a  nerd  and  someone  that,  “Doesn’t  know  what  a  ‘C’  is.”
                                         This  is  the  problem,  too  many  people  think  this  way.
                                          Mark  Stanek,  a  jock  ,  stated,  "I  feel  proud  to  be  thought  of  as  an  athletic
                                       leader,  but  I  don t  feel  Im   a  jock.  I  would  call  myself  an  athlete.”
                                            Clinton  Povich,  a  ‘brain”,  replied,  it  is  a  compliment  to  be  considered  a
                                        brain.
                                              Stanek  said  he  really  enjoys  sports,  but  he  said  he  considers  it  more  fun
                                           than  work.  He  stated  he  tries  his  best  at  all  sports  he  tries.
                                                 Povich  said  he  thinks  school  has  always  come  easy  to  him,  but  he
                                             didn’t  realize  it  until  his  disruptive  behavior  turned  his  A’s  to  C’s..He  then
                                              joined  Math  Counts,  a  contest  for  seventh  and  eighth  graders.
                                                  “Oh,  by  the  way,  I did  that paper  myself and  I  ‘aced’ it.  So  thanks  for
                                            saying  no.  You  taught  me  that  I  can  be  just  as  smart  as  you  if  I  apply
                                           myself, ”  the  jock  said  proudly.
                                              ‘‘Well  congratulations  . . .   Friend, ”  the  brain  said  hesitantly.
