For these students and faculty who are a part of founding this institution, they now have a skill or expertise in building new institutions that is important for all institutions making change. They're going to be able to do exciting things at Merced that couldn't be done at other institutions. I don't think it's a big gamble.

It's a way for students and faculty to kind of break that barrier between them.

How delicious are these implements of torture.

Last year, I went to the UCLA-Illinois game and didn't like the environment. It was quiet. The students weren't into it. There was no enthusiasm, no atmosphere. But I went to the Ohio State-Iowa game. What a difference. It was a great atmosphere. Iowa City was crazy.
