Page "Janis Joplin" Paragraph 8

Joplin graduated from high school in 1960 and attended Lamar State College of Technology in Beaumont, Texas, during the summer and later the University of Texas at Austin, though she did not complete her studies.

The campus newspaper The Daily Texan ran a profile of her in the issue dated July 27, 1962, headlined " She Dares To Be Different ".

The article began, " She goes barefooted when she feels like it, wears Levi's to class because they're more comfortable, and carries her Autoharp with her everywhere she goes so that in case she gets the urge to break into song it will be handy.

Her name is Janis Joplin.
