- <p> Although he's professor emeritus in the school of hard
- knocks, Mike Tyson was too busy to finish high school. After
- picking up an honorary degree from Ohio's Central State
- University this spring for excellence "as a champion in his
- field," he got the bug and decided to go back to school. Next
- year Iron Mike, 23, will hit the books at a home learning center
- C.S.U. will set up in his suburban Cleveland home. He'll be a
- role model to urban youth, and in about a year's time should be
- getting his high school equivalency diploma and, after that,
- maybe a B.S. in phys. ed and business. The champ's no chump.
