"Wayne Dickens wrestled with the traffic in the all-too-frequent construction zones on the Pennsylvania Turnpike Wednesday night then survived a night on a sciatica-irritating dormitory mattress in his first full day on The College of New Jersey campus Thursday. However, by Friday morning things were looking up. The 62-year-old graduate of Orange High School and Rutgers College had an office, his new, full-time assistant coach was evaluating players on videotape and he had accidentally discovered the Starbucks just north of the school on Route 31."
