You already know about the biggies. Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, Rotary, take your pick. Only the country and amount of money is changed to prevent too many Harvard people from running into each other.

And then there are the traditional grad schools. Harvard this, Harvard that, Columbia this, Yale that, "I can't wait until Thursday morning to read the weekly happenings at the OCS-OCL."

Which brings us to the point, because next September a new opportunity will spring forth that most seniors are currently unaware of. Now don't worry, applications aren't due for two weeks yet so there's still plenty of time, and the lone requirement is the ability to guzzle a six-pack while watching the Gong Show.

And even if you aren't all that interested in the Floyd S. Wilson Graduate School of Intramural Athletics, at least keep reading a little further, because remember, you have to keep those options open.

There is one senior at the university, however who is not only aware of this opportunity but who applied to the school, appropriately named after Floyd S. Wilson, the Director of Intramural Athletics at Harvard, early decision.

Bob Bowman has yet to hear whether or not he has been accepted, but if Bowman is refused entrance, then there's no hope for any of us.

Just who is Bob Bowman? In addition to being a senior, a Winthrop House resident and an economics major, activities that consume at most three hours time each week, Bowman is the Winthrop House Athletic Secretary, a position that he has held since last spring.

Unlike some extracurricular activities, which are all talk and good for grad school applications but no work whatsoever, Bowman's position is both physically and mentally demanding.

"What exactly does this position require of you?" Bowman was asked in his C-entry penthouse suite yesterday afternoon (editor's note-Bowman had to be woken up for the interview).

"Nothing."

"Could you expand?"

"Not very much."

Bowman, though, has a reputation around the campus for being modest. When prodded, the modesty wore off and the truth emerged.

"Actually," he said, "the athletic secretaries from all the houses have a weekly meeting except for the three times a month when something else comes up. Attendance is not encouraged, and we meet for from five to eight minutes."

When otherwise engaged (currently playing in Boston), Bowman's schedule truly portrays a Renaissance man. Name the intramural sport and he has either played it, coached it or partied after it.
