...idea of a rigidly structured interview, in which the alumnus serves mainly to transcribe the candidate's remarks. Many think the use of a tape recorder would be impossible, Some, like Doermann, would prefer a free rein in interviewing, and would not-be willing to follow a set pattern of questioning. And, of course, nearly all interviewers would maintain their right to subjective judgment...
...floodlight and trained a camera on its beam. When an insect flew across the floodlit area, the operators opened the camera's shutter and turned on their electronic beeper to simulate a cruising bat. "Many insects." say Roeder and Treat, "showed no change in flight pattern when they encountered the sound. In others, the changes in flight path were dramatic in their abruptness and bewildering in their variety. One of the commonest reactions was a sharp power dive into the grass. Almost as frequently the dive was prefaced or combined with a series of tight turns, climbs and loops...

Sample exercise: the "frog kick, scissors, and go," a darting, leaping movement designed to get the jump on the opposing team in a fast break. "We don't spend two minutes teaching any rough stuff," said Lynwood Captain Ron Severa. "The players learn it anyway. It's self-preservation...
