The Elusive Western Grad-students

Michael Nutting, 24, and David Delgado, 28, try to play pool together about three times a week. Delgado has a Master's degree in piano performance, while Nutting has a bachelor's degree in piano performance. They started playing pool together more often when they were both working on their senior projects, Nutting said.

“[It's] like an oasis of pool in the middle of six to eight hours of piano,” Nutting said.

Delgado decided to come back for a degree in physics, technically making him a freshman. He said that he has always been interested in the subject.
