I heard about Source Academy as I was entering my senior year of a New York City public high school. I had been categorized as a truant for five years, but had slipped through the overcrowded system with easilv-earned nineties because mv behavior, speMing and reading (when 1 was there) were considered quite fine. To my teachers, who had classes of well-over forty with which to contend, my education was corisidered satisfactory. To me it was not. When a teacher did not know my name or potential after half a year, it was frustrating. When courses were geared for the slowest person In the class who threw spit balls at the teacher, it was boring. Escaping from school through a side entrance to avoid after-school violence was frightening. More frightening was the thought that if my nineties got me into college, I wasn't going to know what to do there. Source Academy was not in the telephone book, so I was fortunate that someone mentioned it to me and suggested that I call. The phone was answered by a gruff, intimidating voice, and after being yelled at for disturbing class, I was invited for an interview that afternoon. The interview was a strange one. After walking up and down 72nd Street several times, I finally found the school.

BSERVATIONS By Laurie Loisel I saw my friend Elizabeth one day in October after not having seen her for a week or so. Befng a far-frorri wealthy student, I Hadjusf submitted an application for food stamps, and I told her of my "humbling" Interaction with the federal government. Then, as is my pattern, I changed an embarrassing subject and told her about a lecture I had attended the evening before. It was a speak-out against the neutron bomb. She laughed at the unusual segue and asked what the two had to dp with WHERE'S THE each other. I,-too, laughed then, and explained that of course the two had nothing to do with each other, I was merely trying to fill her in on my recent activities. Two months later, the neutron-bomb has been ok'ed. I still haven't received rny food stamps. I'm beginning to see the connection... MONEY-Part II I read in (he N.Y.

Didn't Brunner have Split Season — I can't say enough bad things about it! It further abbreviated what enough to feel bad about after the packers made mincemeat out of him the week was already a ridiculously short season. Not only that, it KO'd both the Cincinnati before? With it all, gotta love the Giants' heart. After gettin' bombed by the Jets, and Reds' chances of making playoffs (after all, they had the best W-L record in the losing in the final minutes to both Green Bay and Washington (I'm sure Packer and majors this year), and their ace Tom Seaver's chances of winning the Cy Young Redskin fans have no regrets), Pay Perkins' boys were able to come back and BEAT award for an unprecedented fourth time.

Can't help but wonder what the Rangers would be like if half of the team would The Bears might have won that game if they had a quarterback who could pass the stay out of the infirmary during the regular season. However, my prediction sticks — ball. Three cheers for the "injured warrior" Richard Todd, leading the Jets in their MGS Stanley Cup in '83. Edmonton Oilers no longer a one-man team.

It doesn't shock me that Muhammed All, the Frank Sinatra of boxing, wants to and will fight again. All's not ruining the sport; the multitudes of fools who shell out Knicks have to be one of the worst free-throw shooting teams in the NBA.
