Now, a few emails...

*Jenn, for many years, was very separate from the Academic Center. Burgess McSwain whom I’m sure you have heard of, kept it that way because Coach Smith wanted it that way. He wanted the boys to remain separate and not get lumped in the “athletic label” that I’m sure you have witnessed, often works against them. After Burgess got sick, Coach Williams came, Wayne came, they put in the middle of the Academic Center. There have been many adjustments over the years, but this summer was the first time that I felt it has made a difference in how our boys were handled. I think this is something that you need to be aware of at least. This school is not as gracious to its athletes as some.

*Hi Wayne. I hope you are having a lovely day. I note you put in Margaret Lee’s AFRI . First, she is new so we have no old material on which to base anything. Two, I don’t think she will be the best bet even down the road if I read her correctly – too theoretical. But, it you want to try, go ahead but has become one of my special favorites. DC

*Hi Wayne, came by to talk about his classes for next semester. I don’t have a lot to offer that he has not had. AFAM with Hildebrand should be ok – it would be a regular class and he would have to go, etc, but I think it would be ok. AFRI is another he can take. I have already spoken to the professor and she is aware he cannot come because of time and she will give him an independent assignment. We can get by with 1 or 2 of those. If you can’t get him in those, just let me know and I can put him in next week.

I hope you have fun tonight and that you have a good weekend. Debby.

*In another case, Boxill emailed a men’s basketball player, "I have re-examined the quizzes and have changed the grades--only slightly in two cases"
