GEORGE PLIMPTON & JIM TUNNEY A true Renaissance mand theultimate Prep, GeorgePlimpton came to USDto ex­ pound onhis many adventures as a "profes­ sional participant". Plimpton has been a "dream-liver" for a long time now; the ad- ventursome journalist's exploits have ranged from an infamous tryout at quarter­ back with the Detroit Lions to atour with the Clyde Beatty-Cole Brothers Circus as, of all things, aflying trapeze performer. Also well-versed as a speaker, Plimpton gave an interested audience more than their fill of exciting storiesand funny anecdotes. Whether the problems in the classroom or on the gridiron, ex-high school principal and current NFL refereepar excellenceDr. Jim Tunney has the answer. Tunney, whose son Mark graduated from USD this year, gave some of hisinsights onmotivation and leadership to over 100 people in Salmon Lecture Hall. Armed with stories, jokes, trick cards, miniature frisbees. and a fine wit, Tunney extolled the virtues of goal- setting as a means of achieving short and long range objectives, no matter what the subject.
