He also played lightweight [[football]] and helped with the effort to take over the [[ROTC]] lounge and convert it into the [[Malcolm X Lounge]], occupying Dean [[Henry Coleman]]'s office in protest over the issue. Although he was radical enough at the time to refuse to sit for junior exams, he says that by senior year he "ran out of issues". He chose to major in American history and spent weekends taking underprivileged neighborhood children to cosmopolitan New York attractions. When he decided to apply to law school, he asked Dean Coleman, whose office he had occupied, for a recommendation. The dean agreed.
