:30:02
- Nice game.
- William Gates.

:30:04
With continuing support
from Patricia Wier...

:30:07
William is assured
that his entire education at St. Joe's...

:30:11
will be free.
:30:19
Arthur's family is paying
for half ofhis tuition...

:30:23
and the increase comes
at an especially bad time.

:30:27
Worked for Sara Lee, got laid off.
:30:31
Uh, worked for Scala's Meat Packing.
Got laid off there. You know.

:30:36
You look around your house,
you see your food getting low. Okay?

:30:40
And you got your bills due here,
your bills due there.

:30:51
I got called down to the office.
:30:54
Brother Leo wanted to talk to me.
:30:57
he was telling me about how much,
certain money my mama had to pay...

:31:01
for me to stay in school.
:31:04
They say if she don't have it by this time,
you gotta stay out till she pay it.

:31:08
I was staying out, like,
two and three weeks and stuff.

:31:12
By the end of the freshman year...
:31:15
whatever balance there was for tuition
was never taken care of.

:31:20
Consequently,
going into the sophomore year...

:31:23
we had the balance
plus the new tuition...

:31:26
so that it was going to continue
to become a problem.

:31:29
Whatever scout that they have come out
to these different neighborhoods...

:31:34
and scout out
these little basketball players...

:31:37
and get 'em to come to their school
and offer them these scholarships.

:31:41
Then once they get out there,
the story is totally different.

:31:44
I was under the impression that Arthur would
have help as far as getting to school...

:31:48
Arthur would have help
in getting his books.

:31:52
But, see, none of that occur.
:31:55
Finally, with the Agees
owing $ 1,500 in back payments...
