Along with everyone else on this news<onscious campus, I have heard 101 different stories about the death of Paul McCart­ney. With the help of televi­sian and radio, the five or six original "facts" have multi­plied into a complete story covering every aspect of the accident and every subsequent hint the remaining Beatles have given us. Last week, fed up with all the forced symbo­lism and impossible rumors, I decided to make the trip to London, interview McCartney, and get the truth myself.

I wasted my first day there following up false leads, but the next afternoon, on a tip from an Apple VIP, I made my way to a small unmarked grave on the south lawn of Highgate Cemetery. There, with the help of a shovel and five minutes of WTGR, I was able to resurrect the decapitated Beatle. We talked for about three hours, and though the actual text is too long to be printed here, what follows is a 5ummary of the interview.

e r McCartney: Aargh!! Turn if off! J .B.: Sorry. Maybe that w8;s a bit radical. The usual introductions J.B.: I came by today to find out " about these death rumors. Is there any truth in them? McCartney: Certainl not! I made an appearance just last week to show that I'm still around, and if that didn't satisfy the public, the can .. J.B.: Yes, but do you have any real proof? McCartney: Well, ... m wife is expecting a bab"y in the spri ng, and ..• there's a new Beatle movie coming out next year and I'm in it. J. B. : That's pretty thin, but we'll let it go. Say, how about telling me something about your new album, ABBEY ROAD. McCartney: ;"ow! It's the best we've done since SERGEANT PEPPER. The day we recorded it, we were all really stoned on music, and that made it a lot easier to "get together. We started off with a song by John and I, "Come Together," that just gets you into the mood with a little hand<lapping and

some typical Lennon 1 'rics. George wrote the secane song ("Some hing"), and it's the prettiest one on the album. He must have been di inely in­spired when he pIa ed he guitar solo; it's too good for a mortal. I sing the next song {"Maxwell's Silver Hammer"). It's no musical breakthrough, but we had lots of fun doing it. "Dh! Darling" is kind of a satire on blues. It's very, ver heavy. but has soom good voc al effects in the break. Ringo wrote the next one ("Octopus s Garden"), and surprisi ngly, it's one of the bes on the album. e played around a 10 in the background, but wi h George maId ng his guitar sing, and John plunking the piano, it turned out great. The last song on the side (UI ant You") is another heavy one with an anti-fade-out ending. More good guitar work from George. Side 2 is a whole new thing. It's a succession of songs that cover about 8 different styles of music. George wrote the first one ("Here Comes the Sun"), and to me, it's the prettiest. We got to use the Moog synthesizer on "Be­cause," and it worked out so

"well that no other instruments were needed. Through the res of the album, we skip from hard rock, to lullaby, to blues, and in "The End", after a 15 second drum solo, we revert back to the early-Beatle sound. The moral of the stor' ("And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. ) was John's idea. It all sounds like a lot of preaching until George comes back with a sassy solo about "Her aj-esty." By the wa , did you ----------------------------.......

FREAK is here. I imagine that many rumors have been going around about a new stu­dent organization on our cam­pus. Well, I too, would imagine that some are true and some are false. I would like to set the record straight. First of all the organization FREAK, which stands for Freedom to Research Every Aspect of Knowledge, is nonpolitical. That means the organization cannot officiall ' back a political issue or engage in politics.

The second point of interest is that the membership is open to every interested student at­lending Coastal. There are no dues. Our money comes from fund-raisin projects.

"The purpose of our organi­zation is to establish, probe, and develop the Freedom to Research Every Aspect of Knowledge on our campus. We believe that the basic problems "n our society today are based on each individual's frame of mind; in short, his conscious­ness. Trough dlscussion and research we hope to reach some conclusions that rna' be helpful towards developing a new mode of perception for he students, and in fact, an ' individuals, that will lead to the betterment and happiness of alL" The aforestated came from Section II of FREAK's Charter.

To bring together - what this means is that we will re­search and discuss an and all topics of interes t to the roup at our meet insg and our dis­cussion periods. Voe will give aid to humanitarian causes which lead to the betterment of all. We hope to expose th student body to a whole new aspect of knowledge. In short we hope to bring awarencs." to our campus.

the whole thing is a big "GO?p' --"put on.". There are varia­tions ·on this story as to the reason for the hoax- -to promote sales, to get their name in print, or just to put people on.

Paul McCartney's father, Apple Corps., Linda Eastman, and a Pa ul Mc·Cartney have denied that he is dead, but you could not expect them to admit it (if it were true) at this ' late stage of the game.

Voice prints have been made but are inconclusive; one group of voice print experts says the tests prove that the man now calling himself Paul McCartney is the original one, and an­other group contradicts the for­mer. Voice prints are supposed to be unique as fingerprints but have not been proved beyond all doubt.

It all boiled down to a matter of faith. Do you believe that the Beatles could keep silent a bout this for three years, keep all knowledge from the public and the press, and then play a game to see if people could find out?

Or do you believe that it is just a game, dreamed up by Lennon to amuse the few in on the plot- -to see what reaction it would cause? Or do you care?

One man was quoted as say­ing "I don't know what the commotion's all about. Hell, when I first heard him sing six years ago, I thought he was dead."

This years fall and winter fashions have a variety to of­fe~ young Americans. The trend in style is toward the thirties. If you've got something old, you've got it made. Emphasis is on individuality in dress. It's your thing - the look is how you make it.

A young woman can choose the look that suits her best. Mini or maxi, she will be "in': This season, the eye is on knits, tunic and pants, jacket and skirt, and accessories. The good colors are blacks, grays, whites, browns, reds, blues, or greens.

[n the way of knits the long sweater vests, the tunicky cardigans, and the wool knit dresses dominate the fashion scene. Vests are worn with skirts, slacks, or over dresses.

Coastal Defeats TEC 12-0 The Coas tal Carolina foot­

ball team, coached by Mr. Larry Schwartz, beat the Georgetown­Horry TEC October 30 by a score of 12 - O. This is the second consecutive year that Coastal has beaten TEC by the identical score of 12 - O.

What was billed as an offen­sive battle proved to be just the well prepared, the astute, aggressive and stingy defense of Coastal mixed with a timely, but slow starting offense, that assured a well - deserved Coastal victory.

The scoreless first quarter consisted of a constant ex­change of punts with no team able to mount a substantial drive. About halfway through the second quarter, Coastal broke the scoreless duel when freshman halfback Bill Graham broke a play to the outside a.nd rolled down the sideline 35 yards to paydirt.

Even though they only scored once in the second half, the Coastal offense put on an im­pressive display of ball con­trol, controlling the ball about 80 per cent of both the third and fourt~ qua1ters~ The secon(i half touchdown came with less
