Well politics sort of begets politics. You know if you run for something, first thing you know somebody's going to ask you to run for something else,

2
00:00:08.444 --> 00:00:18.051
and your ego starts running away from you and the first thing you know you're running for everything. I don't know how I happened to get into politics at State.

3
00:00:18.051 --> 00:00:27.227
I was asked by Doc Ray to run and I did and I liked it, even though I didn't have much of a role as vice president of the freshman class,

4
00:00:27.227 --> 00:00:36.080
but when I became president of the sophomore class I played a more integral role. As vice president of the student body I presided over the student legislature,

5
00:00:36.080 --> 00:00:46.987
and then I became president of the student body. I had a wonderful relationship with the fraternities. I was never in a fraternity but they invited me to all their parties,

6
00:00:46.987 --> 00:00:59.693
made fun of the white socks that I wore with a suit, but I took it in stride. At least I got to eat free. From there I just went on to law school

7
00:00:59.693 --> 00:01:02.136
and became president of the student bar association.
