Former Aggie working
for architecture
United Press International
DALLAS — For six months in a
year, Dennis Swilley practices the
art of athletic destruction and the
remaining six the art of aesthetic
creation.
Contending with the dual roles
— as a center for the Minnesota
Vikings football team and a senior
art student at North Texas State
University in nearby Denton,
Texas — has not been easy for the
6-foot-4, 250-pound former Pine
Bluff, Ark., resident.
“It’s two different frames of
mind,’’ the 25-year-old athlete
said in a recent telephone inter
view.
His physical prowess at Texas
A&M University helped him gra
duate to professional football, but
poor grades at the School of
Architecture denied him gradua
tion to a bachelor’s degree.
“My teammates make fun of me
that I’m studying art in my spare
time,” he said. “But others think I
have a talent for art. I’ve always
been interested in art. I always
was a doodler. My notebook at
school had more doodles than
notes which probably explains my
poor grades at school.”
Swilley admitted to a lack of in
terest in studies when he was
attending Texas A&M because of
the time football required and be
cause he found the curriculum
“too structured, just too much.”
“I was always three years be
hind and the grades showed it, ” he
said.
However, Swilley now wants to
make amends for all those lost
years and hopes his graduation
from NTSU, only 20 semester
hours away, would help him go
back to Texas A&M and get a de
gree in architecture.
“At the time I just wasn’t sure
what I wanted do,” he said. “All I
wanted to do was just draw and
paint. Only in my last year I
started getting interested in my
studies but the grades were bad. ”
Swilley seems well on his way
toward achieving his scholastic
ambition. He is now a senior at
NTSU and in recognition of his
talent, school officials are current
ly holding an exhibition of his
works.

By AUGUST SKOPIK
Battalion Reporter
April showers bring May flow
ers. They also bring intramural
softball rainouts.
Because of delays and rainouts,
the intramural department will be
hard-pressed to finish the softball
playoffs before the week of final
exams May 11, and it is certain not
to finish before the weekend.
“We may have to have the
teams play several doublehead
ers, but we should finish Sunday,”
said Intramural Director James
Welford. “The doubleheaders will
be scheduled several hours apart
and should give the participants
several hours to study between
games.
“Some people may even think
of these games as study breaks.”
Because of the recent rains, the
game schedules are now three
complete days behind.
“There’s just nothing we can do
when the weather is like it is,” he
said. “I know some people aren’t
going to like it, but if they can’t
play in the game they’ll just have
to forfeit.”
There are no other days the
games can be played, he said.
“We’ve been telling the officials
to hit the books now so when they
have to work, there won’t be any
conflicts,” he said.

Among the much admired
pieces at the exhibit is a carved
wooden cow which was Swilley’s
first creation.
“When I came to the school, the
first thing they asked me to do was
to create something out of this six-
foot long wooden piece,” he said.
“I had no idea what I should do.
Then I remembered something
that had struck in my mind during
one of my football trips to Col
orado.
“I saw these really skinny cows
with their bones sticking out in the
fields and I have never stopped
thinking about those cows. So I
decided to use that for the school
project and I am quite proud of it.
“I can’t say how good I’m in
football. Please, let that come
from my coaches. All I know is that
I am still learning, whether it is in
sports or at school. I was taken by
the Vikings as a guard, but they
later asked me to play center be
cause the previous player who
played that position had retired. I
have been at it for four years.”
The young bachelor says he
would eventually like to settle
down in north texas and “design
my own home.”
Right now he says he is enjoying
what he is doing because “most of
the students at school don’t know
who I am and I like that anonym
ity. In Minnesota, you feel every
one is looking at you and will catch
you if you make a mistake. ”
