NEWS Panther enjoys life outside of the zoo Ramesh C. Reddy Ramesh: Has the Panther found a She-Panther yet? Panther: Yeah, I have a girlfriend! She does not go to school here though. She goes to JMU. Ramesh: JMU? Panther: James Madison University. Ramesh: Okay! Cool! What’s their mascot back there? Panther: James Madison? Ramesh: Yeah! Panther: The Duke Dog Ramesh: Okay! Where does the Panther like to live in the winter season? Panther: In the winter season? I am usually up at the Field House for the basketball games. I live on Atwood St. Ramesh: Do you like to live there? Panther: Yeah, I love it there! It is a great location. I am right across from India Garden and right up the street is Antoon’s Pizza. You can’t beat the location. Ramesh: Wonderful! With the holiday season coming up, what does the Panther like to celebrate and why? Panther: Christmas, Christmas! I am Christian so you know Jesus’ birthday is pretty important. Ramesh: Cool! Do you like to be the mystery Panther or prefer people to know the person behind the mask? Panther: Well, a lot of people know I am the Panther because of the article last year. All my friends tell everybody wherever I go that I am the Pitt Panther. It doesn’t matter to me; I don’t care if people know. I prefer I guess to be like the mystery Panther because I do a lot of silly things. I wouldn’t be as embarrassed about it if people didn’t know who I was. Ramesh: What is the Panther’s favorite sport and why? Panther: Football! I love it; I have played it so many years and generally the crowd is more intense. You draw in more people and it is a lot of fun. Other mascots come to that and I can have fun with them. I think it is more intense. Ramesh: Great! Does the Panther like to study Zoology, the study of animals? Panther: Actually, honestly I thought about majoring in that and going into veterinarian school and something like that because I have an Iguana. I am into pets and I love dogs. I wanted to work in a zoo this past summer but I kind of threw out that idea. I want to be a teacher. Ramesh: What kind of music does the Panther love to listen to? Panther: I love all kinds of music. I love country, rap, rock, and so on. Ramesh: What is your favorite band and female singer? Panther: As a band I love OR: Our Revolution, they are my favorite band right now and I have to go with Brittany Spears! Panther: Yeah! Ramesh: Did you go to her concert? Panther: No, my friends made it. I could not make it that night. My family came in because it was my birthday weekend and I had to entertain them rather than going and seeing Brittany Spears. Ramesh: Awe, they should be entertaining you on your birthday. Panther: Yeah! Ramesh: Have you ever watched “All Dogs Go to Heaven?” before you became a Panther? Panther: “All Dogs Go to Heaven?” I have seen the movie. I think it is a good movie. Ramesh: Do you believe in Heaven and Hell and If so, why? Panther: Yes, I definitely do! I was raised Christian and go to church not as much here but I go to a lot of Bible studies. I go to Cornerstone. I don’t know if you have ever heard of that? Ramesh: Yes! Panther: I go to that! I try to keep involved. I have morals as a Christian. I definitely believe in Heaven and Hell. Ramesh: Wow! What is the Panther’s favorite food? Panther: I am a big Chinese fan. I really love Chinese food. I go to that. Chinese buffet a lot. Ramesh: Cool! What is the Panther’s favorite beverage? Panther: Favorite beverage? Cherry Coke! Ramesh: Any reason why? Panther: I have always loved Cherry Coke. It’s my ultimate favorite. Ramesh: How much sleep does the Panther need on the average? Panther: I make sure I get 8 hours on the average. If I don’t get 8 hours of sleep, I am miserable and cannot function well. Ramesh: Wow! How does the Panther celebrate his birthday? Panther: Well, this year my family came up. They took me out to dinner and gave me all kinds of gifts. That’s pretty much it! I get a cake, the normal birthday thing. Ramesh: Was your girlfriend able to make it? Panther: Yeah, she came up this year! It was nice! Ramesh: Cool! In closing, what words of wisdom does the Panther give to the student body for their years at Pitt? Panther: Wow! Just keep up the hardcore Pitt Spirit you know. Be hardcore fans and show up! That’s about it! Ramesh: Thank you so much _____ (handshake). I really appreciate it. Yeah! Panther: Wow! Ramesh: Thank you very much!
