Sport: A Personal Experience

Thursday, 17 Jan 1974 at 1:00 pm – Pioneer Room, Memorial Union

What is it like to be a college athlete: to be a circus freak or to be a legitimate student? The question will no doubt be discussed by the panel of ISU student athletes assessing the personal impact of their sports experience. Representing a wide variety of intercollegiate sports, the panel will investigate the motivations and rewards involved in athletics. Panel members include Leslie Haggerty-Tennis, Peg Neppel-Track and Cross Country, Dan Fletcher and Jerry Moses-Football, Dave Carrithers-Swimming and Gregg Barcus-Basketball. The discussion will be moderated by INA committee member, Doug Robinson.

Lecture Etiquette

  • Stay for the entire lecture and the brief audience Q&A. If a student needs to leave early, he or she should sit near the back and exit discreetly.
  • Do not bring food or uncovered drinks into the lecture.
  • Check with Lectures staff before taking photographs or recording any portion of the event. There are often restrictions. Cell phones, tablets and laptops may be used to take notes or for class assignments.
  • Keep questions or comments brief and concise to allow as many as possible.
