Senior art major Scott

come the odds.

The odds of gening into the .spe
cial Whir fare program were against
Ma/ankowski from the start. No
ore from l Nl. ii id ever been se

two spots were open to graduating
officers from f>6 YROTC units
across the nation. The other spot
went to a student from the Univer
sity of Arizona.
Selection was based on leader
ship potential, high academic suc
cess and physical tests.
Being selected means taking a
three-week Mini-BUDS (Basie
Underwater Demolition School)
class, making the odds even
tougher.
Ma/ankowski attended the class
last summer in San Diego, which is
where he will attend a year-long
BUDS class in April.
He was one of 22 people who
completed the Mini-BUDS class.
Thirty had started.
"it is one-tenth of what BUDS
will be," Ma/ankowski said.
Only 30 percent of all who start
the BUDS class finish it, he said.
The two Special Warfare officers
are expected to finish and help oth
ers finish, too.
fliose who quit are there for the
wrong reasons, Ma/ankowski said.
"ft has to come from your heart."
he said, "not because it is macho or
cool, but because it is something
fiat is treasured "
Mini-BUDS and BUDS training
are physically demanding, but thc\
