Homecoming

ReportThe weather was miserable and

Centre didn't help the situation anyby ruining SAM's chance 'at theCollege Athletic Conference's title.The Colonels took advantage ofnumerous offensive miscues in de-feating the Lynx 16-13. SAMlooked like the Lynx "of old" incommitting six costly turnovers,three fumbles and three intercep-tions.

Southwestern jumped out to a13-0 first quarter lead as a result oftwo R.J. Harper touchdown runs,but that was all the scoring theoffinse could muster for the re-mainder of the game.

The Lynx first touchdown wasset up by a Conrad Bradburn inter-ception. He returned it from theColonel 32 to the 5 yard line. Fromthere, Ralph McIntyre bulled to theone-half yard line before Harpertook it in on the next play. MikeMcConkey missed the extra point.

The Lynx second score came ona 24 yard run by Harper, whogained 121 yards for the day in23 carries. Frank Barton's attemptat the P.A.T. was good and SAMtook a commanding 13-0 firstquarter lead.

The remainder of the gamewas all downhill for SAM as Cen-tre turned three Lynx errors intoscores. Roy Beard scored on an 8yard run to close the gap to 13-7SAM at halftime. In the third per-iod Mike Shannon scored from43 yards out on a pitchout. Therun for two points failed, andthe score was knotted at 13-13.

The game remained a see-sawbattle until the final minute when

Suppose that the SouthwesternAdministration had a HalloweenParty. The Sou'wester staff feelsthat a report of such a party wouldgo something like this:

Last Saturday the SouthwesternAdministration held a HalloweenParty in commemoration of Mr.John C. Turpin's many years ofservice to the Southwestern studentbody as their one and onlySupreme Dictator. Hosting theparty were President James Daugh-drill dressed as Dr. Doolittle,Bo Scarborough as the Dr.'s push-me-pullyou, and Dean RobertPatterson as the Overton ParkZookeeper making a desperateattempt to "'talk to the animals."

Representing the school'sEnglish department were BerniceWhite who came as a gramaticlemistake, Dr. Richard Wood dressedas an undulating lilypad, andProfessor Yerger Clifton as thePrime Minister of England. Fromthe Mathematics department the

QB Craig Solomon tossed an inter-ception that was returned to theLynx 11 from the 25 yard line.The defense toughened; but withten seconds left John Akin booteda 26 yard field goal to sink theLynx.

SAM now drops to 4-3 overalland 1-2 in the CAC after its secondCAC loss. The Lynx have this weekoff to regroup and mend theirwounds. Their opponent on Nov. 6will be Maryville(TN) there and theseason finale is away at Rose-Hul-man (IND.).

V Dre,gathering was honored with thepresence of Dr. Jack U. Russell, adivergent sequence, and Dr. AngeloMargaris, a tiny pocket com-puter. Historians present wereProfessor F.M. Wright costumed asa "Piece of the Rock" andProfessor George M. Appersondressed as the King of Virginia andProfessor Granville Davis encap-suled in a bottle of Sominex.

Things were going well un-til Professor Charles Warren oozedin as a slime mold. Immediatelyfollowing him were Professor LewQueener quaintly apparalled in aFreudian slip and Professor ChuckOrvis disguised as an inflateddollar.

From the Middle East ProfessorKhalil Rizk rolled in on a hugeworry bead pulled by the Sou'west-er's one and only H. Scott Proster-

man attired as Mahareshi MaheshYogi and contemplating on hisnavel.

The annual 50's dance, spon-sored by the Student Center Ass-embly, will be held this Saturday,October 30, in the Student Centerfrom 8-12 p.m. The band will beSolid Gold. You don't have to havea date, so just dress accordinglyand be-bop on in with your friendsAdmission is free, and beer willbe sold. You'll have it made inthe shade.

ssesCoach Thornton showed up as

the strongest faculty member...hecould be smelled across the room.

To make certain that all wentwell, Nurse Gill flew in as a swine.

About halfway through theoccasion the Southwestern studentbody came en masse. Steve Wadeled the procession. He came as asurprise. Bobbo Jetmundsen was atortoise without the hair. And theSou'wester staff sent Jaime

Ronderos and Pat Wade as twoheadless chickens. Bopping in witha smile was SAM's HomecomingQueen Katherine Bullard barelyclothed as a Playboy Bunny.

Refreshments were provided byJack McCormick, Dan Searight andBill Hulsey. Mr. McCormick wasdisguised as two Alka-Seltzertablets. Dan and Bill dressedthemselves as fish and began to beateach other. Serving for the gather-ing was Dean Ann Marie Willi-ford. She was (and perhaps still is)the Queen of England, and France,and Germany, and Siberia, and

The Lucy Opry is still openevery Friday night and still operateson the "pass-the-hat" for entrancecosts. The Lucy Opry has blue-grassmusic in the purest sound--the to-bacco chewing musicans from theMemphis area come and play in theCommunity Center from 8 to 11 or12. Banjoes, guitars, and mandolinsdominate the stage and it is a greattime to hear some down-homemusic. Take North Watkins northto Fite Road. Take a left on Fiteroad and drive about 2 miles and itwill be on your left.

Another verification of a goodplace to go is Will's House ofChitterlings over near LeMoyne-Owen. Go with several people forcompany as its not in a very safelocation. Will's has super Bar-B-Que. The SFA was right.

The Circus last Friday was anExtravaganza! Those who missedit missed out on many laughs. Theclowns play 125 towns per yearand plan to make SAM an annualevent. Their show is changed everyyear, and the head clowns said thatthe bear won't return next year.

Music therapy would have beenthe only cure for the headaches ofthe Social Commissioners Saturdaywhen the original band Buckeyecancelled their performance. For anon the spot recovery, the guys did agood job and we were lucky thatthey found a band at all!

The sorority coffees have pickedup momentum as we're approach-ing rush weekend;but then again, sohas the men's beer busts onWednesday nights. Won't everyonebe happy when all this foolishnessis through?

Don't forget to mail in yourabsentee ballots as soon as possible.

Egypt, and Tunisia, and Australia,and Brazil,........

Campus Security was supposedto be there, but the party was inPalmer Hall and they had troublefinding the place.

All in all, the celebration was ahowling success. The administrationshowed their appreciation to BillNolan who came as a KodakInstamatic.

CLIFFHANGERThe Dilemma Committee ha,announced that the topic for thisyear's program will be "The South;Heritage and Promise."

A contest for a poster to adver-tise the event will be held fromNovember 1 - December 1. Allentries must be at least 18" x 24".The prize for the chosen posteris $50.

Space, the final frontier. Theseare the voyages of the Starship En-terprise. Its five year mission toseek out strange new beginnings, togo where no man has gone before.

These words are an open invi-tation for you to travel with usthrough the world of Star Trek."Us" is a group of students whohave come together to jointly seekall of the special things that otherfaithful Trekkies have to offer.

The club was organized bySpencer Bard and Tony Bradly andis now a relatively small but faithfulgroup of Trekkies. The club is nowin its organizing stage and is inter-ested in recruiting new members,those who are willing to devote alittle of their time to the thoroughenjoyment of some of the thingsthat Star Trek has to offer.

Since its cancellation, there havebeen many things produced in thename of Star Trek: books, calen-dars, toys, towels, posters, andnumerous other small items. If youfeel that only a handful of peopleare interested in Star Trek, pick upa copy of Star Trek Lives'. It tellsabout all of the devotion, time andwork that has gone into our everliving Star Trek.

Our club is an extention of theefforts that have gone into its sur-vival. We are trying to get thingsthat will interest faithful Trekkiesand recruit potential ones. Rightnow, we are trying to get a film ofStar Trek and bring it on campus.Suggestions have been made tomake uniforms and get tee shirts.Everything is in the planning stageand we are open to any sugges--tions.

The club will try to keep eachmember informed of any advance-ments that have been made towardanything involving Star Trek.

Right now, a Star Trek movie isbeing produced with all of the orig-inal;. cast. This has come about bythe demand of Trekkies all over thecountry who need to see more ofStar Trek. Leonard Nimoy wasrecently on the Captain and Ten-nille Show and William Shatner hasbeen popping up all the time. So,Nimoy and Shatner fans tune in.

If you have any Star Trek info,and wish to share it with us,come and join our club. As of now,we have no name so you may havesome suggestions. A date for ournext.meeting will be in the SFA,socheck it out and keep on trekking.

PARTY TREE

'ro Whom it May Concern:After much thought, we have

decided to ask for a recount of theHomecoming Tree votes. This timethe number of votes given to eachcandidate should be published. Itseems a bit unfair to the Ginkoonly to say it was edged out.

Another matter that should bebrought up concerns the party lastFriday. We searched nearly 2 hoursfor a white oak just north of theStudent Center with a party underit. None was to be found. As wewere about to give up, we founda post oak with a party andattended to the refreshments.Please tell us where your party was.

Sincerely Yours,Steven Posner

Dear Editor,A sour controversy is brewing at

SWAMP, neither over which frater-nity gives the best beer busts, norover proceedural matters such asthe hours of the math library,butover the principles and actions ofthose students who do and thosewho do not, contribute to variousschool publications,specifically TheSou'wester which is being blottedby a faltering reputation for qual-ity. Last week's editorial by CathyRoan brings the issue to the fore;tocoin a paraphrase,"If you're notpart of the solution you're part ofthe problem." I fall into the cate-gory of non-contributors (up tonow), and in that sense am part ofthe problem. Though the sources ofthis' confounding debate are vagueand old, certain catalysts of coursewere needed, one of which, for bet-ter or worse,carries my name:TheCommon Observer. Therefore inthis, my alloted space, I seek tojustify myself and my allegedprogeny in the face of a storm thatthreatens to make acrid the ex-change that perchance may follow.

My basic point lies in purposes.That of The Sou'wester, as far as Ican tell, is to record the eventswhich occur here each week, toprovide space for public comment,and to present articles of generalinterest such as the series, "Elec-tions Remembered." The criticismrising against our newspaper is howwell the purposes are fulfilled,cen-tering fundamentally on compo-sitional style and the careful (care-less) thought put into the articleswhich often read as' if they hadbeen dashed off the night of thedeadline. Any newspaper has theseproblems and others besides. Butthe critical scrutinies are valid, asindeed the rebuttals from TheSou'wester staff may be. C'monSWAMPers; give the fools a littlecredit.

The question most often askedof me is "Why can't the talents ex-pressed in The Common Observerbe used to improve the news-paper ?" An adequate answer,one that does not hedge theissue, is difficult to relate, yet Ihope my theme of purpose willprovide a good base. The reasonThe Common Observer was pub-lished' was to provide a forum inRobb Common for the "literarytalent" of its members and to relateinteresting matters of the Commonto the Common. To quote Cathy,"Writing is a great opportunity tomake one's individuality known tohis fellow students, and I cannotunderstand why a good writerwould pass up this chance." Norcan I. My point is that, one, "goodwriting" is not limited to thatwhich is suitable for a newspaperand, two, that the "good writing"which sometimes appears in anewspaper such as The Sou'westeris frequently lost between thesports pages and the pictures ofpretty girls wearing T-shirts,whichdoes no justice to the writer. Moreeffective is a collection of carefullyconsidered and consciously writtenpieces into one edition such as TheCommon Observer. Ginger, like theherb, is in its annual dormancy. Per-haps this spring (if not sooner) itmay rise like a phoenix from theashes of burned Sou'westers. Untilthen some outlet that will procureproper recognition for the latenttalents of the Robbers (and theschool?) is needed. The Sou'westersimply cannot fulfill that purpose;The Common Observer is at least

a step in the right direction.This harangue by no means

settles the controversy; I do nothave such accomplished rhetoricalskills to claim that. I only offeranother point of view. If anyoneWants to discuss it more, I amusually found in 102 White after-noons and evenings. Incidently,what has happened to Ginger?

Dear Editors:The Security Department's

latest attempt to virtually eliminateany part of the Frazier-Jelke Com-plex for nighttime general study useby students raises several questions.First, the reasons for denying DeanWilliford's request to use ID cardsfor building access given by TomKepple (as reported in last Friday'sSou'wester) were inadequate. Mr.Kepple spoke of concern for "val-uable and, in some cases, irreplac-able equipment and periodicals."The Sou'wester also reported that"Security feels that the only way itcan protect these valuables is bylimited access." Apparently, Mr.Kepple and the Security peoplehave forgotten about a Southwes-tern institution whose glorious sig-nificance is continously drilled intoour heads starting with the time weapply here and at least every timewe take a test, or write a paper.This institution is known as theHonor System, and is used as amajor selling point for this school.If a unit of the very same adminis-tration that runs around touting theHonor System chooses to blatentlyignore it (as with this case), thenthe whole thing should be junkedand we can start having goodies likehall passes, library passes, mealtickets, and required notes frommommy if one wants to do any-thing that supposedly mature',oung adults can handle.

Secondly, if Security succeedsin its attempt to reduce nighttimeuse of FJ, then the already-shortsupply of nighttime study placeswill be significantly reduced. Inthat case, the Administrationshould increase the library budgetso that the Burrow Library stackscan be open until at least midnight,instead of the present asinineclosing hour of 9:45. (And if anyostrich-like official suggests thatstudents may study in their rooms,be reminded that the esteemedPresident of this institution onceremarked that living in Glassellwas "like living in a bowling alley-the.pin end.")

Finally, I'd like to take excep-tion with a quotation of Col.McQuoutn in last week's newspaper.He is quoted as saying, "The lib-raries ( and facilities) belong to thedepartment heads. They decidehow these facilities will be used."By stating that, the Colonel is ap-parently forgetting that this placepurports to be a "community",which implies that there existsome forms of community rights toschool property. I fully recognizethat department heads (and others)have been charged with the respon-sibilities of overseeing the use ofschool property and certainly havea right to be concerned about theproper use and security of suchproperty. However, when anadministrative official states thatschool property "belongs" to cer-tain department heads and not tothe students, then he is ignoringthe very people of the South-western "community" for whomthis institution is intended.

Get Up And VoteNOEL RUSSELL

This is the last in the series ofmy articles. I have tried to be non-biased in these reports to you,andit is hoped that you who read themenjoyed them. I know that I enjoy-ed writing them.

As I write this article on Tues-day afternoon, I am struck by thefact that exactly a week from todayat this time, I, as well as millions ofother Americans, will be on theirway to vote. Most of them won'thave to drive across state lines tovote. A majority of voters in theEast,Northwest,and in populusFlorida and California are withinwalking distances of their repectivepolling places. Today, it is easier tovote in the United States than inanywhere else in the world. The oldpoll abuses are gone.

That is one of the reasons I can-not understand why the 'experts'are predicting that we Americanvoters, John or Jane Q. Public asthe case may be, are going to stayaway from polling booths by thedroves. It's a pity for two hundredyears we have worked and foughtfor that right,as well as countlessothers.

This year it seems that the ap-ethetic voter is in the majority. TheDemocrats see that as a drawback,as Republican voters tend to votemore often, with more regularity.But do the Republicans really gain?It would seem not, especially not ina race,which like the one in 1960,isso close it could go either way.

Everybody knows that if anautomobile or any other machinefor that matter,is not used on a cer-tain basis,it becomes ineffective andpossibly not operable. It seems as ifthe apathetic or non-participatingvoter is on the verge of making ourelectoral process ineffective andstagnant. One might counter bygiving the old,"But my one votedoesn't count." Wrong. Every votecounts. If your state goes for aman or woman by a small majorityand that puts him over electorally,your vote counts. If your state isthe very first a candidate gets,yourvote has counted, because yourstate has started that candidate onhis way.

I am not in the habit of makingpredictions, but in as much as thisarticle is different, I am going to.The next election will set the pacefor years to come I believe. Bothmajor parties, in 1976, are basicallywithout younger, charismaticmembers who have stepped into thePresidential sweepstakes. The Dem-ocratic party has been waveringfrom moderate to liberal to mod-erate again, owing to the loss of theKennedys, who took up the Demo-cratic leadership after Franklin D.Roosevelt. The Republicans toohave wavered from conservative tomoderate;the fallen banner ofRichard Nixon lies untouched.1980, I think will give us a clear-cut decision, provided these twoideas ,call them what you will, aregrasped. If they are picked up, theelection should be a real "cooker".

Think the candidates over.Don't end up like Archie Bunkerdid as he went to vote to offset hisdaughter and son-in-law's vote.They couldn't seem to find hisname in the roll book. "It had tobe there," he growled, "I voted forNixon." Another look, no ArchieBunker. As usual, Edith had the ex-planation. "You're wrong", shesaid,"you're thinking of the Mc-Govern-Nixon election. The Nixonyou voted for," she continued,"wasthe Kennedy-Nixon. You mean,"said the poll worker," that youhaven't voted since 1960? Well--I've been busy." Such is the prob-lem we face with the apathetic

voter. Give it a try. Your votemakes a difference- not just to youbut to everybody.

But that is not all. "But whenthe ballots are cast,your responsa.bilities do not cease. The publicservants you elect cannot fulfilltheir trust unless you...raise yourvoices in protest when you believeyour public servants to be wrong,back them up when you believethem to be right." FranklinRoosevelt, on the eve of his fourthelection to the Presidency,speakingfrom his own home. His is good ad-vice. Unhappily, its often the non-voter who takes that advice toheart.

Art Council OrganizesMIRIAM MCLEOD

Has it ever occurred to you thatthere are many opportunities foreducation beyond those offered inyour classes, but that we as a com-munity are not taking advantage ofthese opportunities, either out ofindifference or ignorance? We areletting our learning get stale bylimiting it strictly to our officialcourses. The Southwestern Artscouncil, now in its organizationalphase, is committed to correctingthis situation.

The Council will hold its firstmeeting during break on MondayNovember 1, and invites all interes-ted persons to attend. The Coun-cil's function will be to promote allthe fine arts at Southwestern byplanning programs during which lo-cal professionals in the fields ofmusic, drama, literature and thevisual arts can share their workwith the campus. Talented mem-bers of the student body andfaculty will also be invited to speak

or perform. The Council wouldalso like to encourage the college inbringing to the campus more non-local artists, such as The NationalShakespeare Company whose per-formance of The Tempest lastJanuary was poorly attended due tothe apathetic sponsorship of theStudent Center. The Arts Councilcould serve the sorely-needed fun-ction of sponsoring and publicizingsuch events, so that the studentsand the community might be betterinformed of these opportunities.

Those involved in the establish-ment of a Southwestern Arts Coun-cil recognize that there is much un-appreciated potential in our midst,both on campus and in the Mem-phis area potential which with alittle work, might be tapped for thebenefit of all of us. Don't let yourown indifference cheat you out ofthese great opportunities -- join theArts Council at their organizationalmeeting next Monday!

SGA Report JERRY HESTONThere were three main orders of

business for the October 24 meet-ing of the SGA. The first topic wasrelated to President Steve Wade'srequest for a list of Commissionmembers from each Commissioner.Only two or three Commissionershad their lists ready; WUB Com-missioner Diane Sonneborn andSocial Commissioner Jim Pagan tur-ned in their lists of members.Other Commissioners were absent(Town Students, Mark Carlton;Elections, Sallie Pompe; Welfare,Annie Stein) or unprepared to sub-mit their lists. Wade requestedagain that these lists be prepared.He also requested a statement fromthe Commisioners concerning theiraccomplishments and plans for therest of their terms. The electedterms in office of the Officers andCommissioners are almost half over.These statements will be an evalu-ation of past actions and an incen-tive for future plans. The state-ments of the Commissioners will bepublished in next week's SGA Re-port.

Election rules and procedureswere again discussed. Things suchas the terms of the SGA officials,voting dates, and other concernswere discussed. There are plans fora forum or Elections Commissiondiscussion concerning any neededchanges in the elections procedures.Anyone interested or concernedshould see Commissioner SalliePompe about this meeting.

Another main topic was SocialCommissioner Jim Pagan's discus-sion concerning the RiverboatDance. Pros andcons of having thetraditional spring dance werevoiced. Alternatives to the dancesuch as a weekend of parties andconcerts, were brought before themeeting. Pagan wants a forum tobe held to determine student opin-ion on the matter. Vice PresidentBobbo Jetmundsen stated that theSocial Commission could, and

should, act without any special ac-tion to receive student input on thedecision. Others present agreedwith Pagan and voiced a strong de-sire for an open forum on the issueof the Riverboat Dance and alterna-tives.

Miscellaneous announcementscame from Senior Secretary Mary-nell Branch and Bobbo Jetmundsenfor the Student Center. Branchproposed a plan for a Senior Daywith picnics and other activities.Others seemed interested in theplan; further details will be de-cided. Jetmundsen announced theStudent Center 50's Dance for Sat-urday, October 30 (see SFA for de-tails).t he meetings of the SGA are

held Sunday nights in the StudentCenter. All students are welcome.

WOLFE SOCIETY MEETSAttention:

Wolfe Society Members: Do youremember who you are? Do you re-member our first few meeting insecond term which were finallyfoiled by term papers, exams, andComps? I do not want to reviveyour nightmares about a paper forChaucer or trying to remember why1798 sticks in your mind, but I dowant to remind you about theSociety and the purposes which in-spired its institution. It is a club forEnglish majors, the Department fac-ulty, and all others who desire tojoin and was created for the pur-pose of discussing and enjoyinggood literature.

John Lawson, a former memberand English major in the class of1976, named the society in thehonor of the late John QuinceyWolfe, former head of the EnglishDepartment. Under the direction ofBernice White, the Society hostedtwo interesting poetry readings andseveral informal gatherings withsuch celebrities as ProfessorsCooper, Clifton, Daniels, andFarris. Our opening meeting willfeature a very prestigeous scholarand individual, Edgar F. Shannon,Jr.

Operating in coordination withthe United Chapter of Phi BetaKappa Visiting Scholar Program,the Wolfe Society is honored tohost Dr. Shannon for a talk on "A

Search for Values in the VictorianNovel." His credentials entitlehim to talk with authority on al-most any area of English litera-ture, and his past Presidency at theUniversity of Virginia and hisrecent position as Vice-President ofthe American Council on Educationendorse him as a capable educator.He is an eminent individual and onewhom we all should hear.

Dr. Shannon will be the guest ofthe Gamma Chapter of Phi BetaKappa and will be on the campusNovember 4th and 5th. His talkwith the Wolfe Society will beThursday, November 4th, from 4 to5 p.m. at the last sorority house onthe right as you face eastward. Itwill be an informal gathering of allthose who wish to attend. It mayeven prove more interesting thanthe "Wild, Wild West" or "GreenAcres." We hope to see you there.Watch for further information inthe SFA.

"Old runners never die;they justrun away." Such were the words oflegendary SW miler Mark "Brillo"Edwards, as he sweetened thehomecoming for his alumni team-mates by winning the 1st AnnualLynxcat Homecoming Welcome-Home Runaround. Brillo ran the 4mile course in 20:55, and narrowlyescaped the grasp of Sr. Captain H.

,Scott Prosterman to win.

Prosterman, (who along withCoach Reverend Dr. Justice Wm. R.Maybry D.D.S., J.D., C.L.U. is co-founder of this historical event) ran6th behind two teammates, aformer partner in crime, an ex-Mar-ine, and Brillo. His threat to Brillo'svictory came just before the start ofthe race when he hijacked thestarter's pistol, and took Brillo as ahostage.

Disguised as a Palestinian Arab,he sneaked up on honorary starterPete McLemore,and commandeeredthe pistol. Then,with stunningand lightening speed, he grabbedBrillo by the brill, and demanded aparachute and $100,000 in smallbills. Terror swept through thestanding-room only crowd like abroom through dust. Suddenly,justas security was driving up with 5officers and 3 walkie-talkies piled intheir mini put-cart,Prostermanripped off his disguise,fired thestarter's pistol, and took off.

By the time anyone could gethold of their senses, he was aquarter mile down the course andmaking tracks like a Kangeroo onsnow skis (i.e. fast). McLemorealertly lined up with the otherrunners and said,"Go". They went,and Brillo quickly gained onProsterman.

When they came around for the1st mile, he had cut the lead in half.Maybry dealt treacherously with hismischievous protege and pointedhim in the wrong direction.

Prosterman then went 5 miles offthe course. He ended running 6miles in all in a time of 23:27. Thistime would have qualified him forthe Olympics five months earlier.

The character of the meet waswell described by Councilman Mike"Iron Man" Cody when he said,"Inever thought that a cross countrymeet could be a defensivestruggle." Actually it was quite acompetive affair with FreshmanTim Godfrey, Chris Lyons, Fritz"Boo-Boo" Stauffer, and Mark"Schnoz" Collins rounding out thetop five.

Other alumni runners were MikeRipski, John. Keesee, Jack .Rocket,John Sleasman,and Arnold WeinerWeiner. Long-time Lynxcat follow-ers will remember Arnold as therunner modeled after the originalred-head (of Red Hat fame), andwho along with Prosterman is co-founder of PFLEM (Popular Frontfor the Liberation of East Memphis.)They later split over political dif-ferences,and now Arnold is workingon his Ph(u)d. dissertation on "TheLatest Poll on the General Public".

The Modern Day Lynxcat'spoint total was rounded out by Jim"Play it Again Merle" Williams,Larry Glasscock, and Robbie Sum-mitt. These runners are back on theteam after the racial strife of lastweek, that threatened to leave SAMwithout its white runners for theSewanee meet. But things havebeen ironed out thanks to the per-

sverance of Maybry who promisedthe dissenting whites that he wouldnot tell any more Earl Butz jokes inYiddish.

Also participating was a team offaculty members which includedProfessors Jim Vest, Tom Whaley,and Richard Batey,with theircoach,trainer,and equipmentmanager Jack Farris. At the awardsbanquet that followed the meet,this quartet stole the show withtheir song and dance medley of "ItAin't Necessarily So". "They Say ItNever Snows in September onSunny Saturdays in SouthernSicily", Smoking in the Boy'sRoom", and "I Love my BabyCause She Do It Like I Like It toDo It, Like Nobody Else Can".

For Maybry, it was an especiallymomentous occasion because of hisrole in leading his meet co-founderastray. "Actually I almost let himget away with it,but I figured Iought have paid that schmuck backfor all the raunch publicity he givesme every week. Besides, I knewthere was no way I could lose, nomatter what he did. After all, Icoached every runner out there".
