·" The one with the legs" is how the Vanguard describes Mary Lou Wendell, rally girl, Miss Raindrop '67, and Home– coming Queen ·'68. Mary Lou, 21, is a junior majoring in secondary education with a degree in social science. "I want to teach the older kids, seniors, that they're the new citizens. They' ll be going into the world, taking over the road. I'd like to impress on them that they're the future of the world that lies ahead." Mary Lou attended Linfield College for one term her freshman year. She transferred to PSC three years ago and is content with the change. " I like a large school. It's like the world . Here there are a variety of stu– dents. At a small college you get about the same type of student. And you ' re babied along - it's not nearly as hard academically. You're not going to be babied out in the world. A lot of kids are at a disadvantage staying at a small col– lege four years. "PSC has its disadvantages. It's very impersonal. You really don ' t have a feel– ing that anyone cares if you're here. Everyone is so wrapped up in his own af– fairs. Starting out here is rather hard. " Mary Lou attends PSC because it is " convenient. " She lives with her family, has her own car, and prefers the privacy she gets at home to a college dorm. A rally girl for three years, Mary Lou can capsulize the college's sports atti– tude without hesitation . " If you have a winning team the students will support you. If you ' re not winning forget it, no support. That's Portland State. " What makes a rally girl run? " I love to dance and I love to be in front of the crowds. I am a ham from the word go. The more people there are in the audi– ence the better I like it." 101
