College student wins "Debate Team" advancement by pretending to be Kola Boof. http://www.newsreview.com/sacramento/Content?oid=607706 *Though all of Kola's books sell their highest direct-to-universities, we're amazed at the college use of Kola's autobiography and did not expect it to be "studied".

Hello Mr. Hayden. You need to telephone Robert Wright about your library situation in St. Louis. You have his number if I'm correct? As well, the "piece" is autobiographical, it's Kola, so the student was acting out Kola and we hear was quite impressive in answering the challenge of other debaters in her responses "as Kola". The other debaters, I am told, had to call her "Kola" and discuss Kola's life. Do you still think I'm inaccurate?
