Was not 30-40 but not the point.
We do not know, based upon the sole story we have seen, if everyone there was a member of a GLO, let alone a college student.
So IMVHO my above posting answers your question.
And if the story had given his membership in just a GLO, perhaps it would have been read differently. Something that we will never know.
