The Joint office of the sports
and society editors was the scene
of the interview of one of Caro
lina's most notorious characters
this week. As he sat down to be
gin the interrogation period,
Charles Frederick Behling picked
up a rather large pair of shears
and began cutting a piece of
paper into small particles.
As he snipped away on his sec
ond sheet of paper, Charles stated
that he was born in St. George,
S. C., where he now resides, and
that he has lived in other places,
including Columbia, Miami, and
Philadelphia. He secretly admits
that he picked up his accent in
Philadelphia.
When he came to Carolina
Charles had no idea that he talked
differently from other people. "I
thought I was very normal," he
said, "Until I noticed that people

way I talked."
The former editor of the "Game
cock" has a long list of organiza
tions to his credit. He is a mem
ber of Omicron Delta Kappa,
Kappa Sigma Kappa, Press Club,
Student Council, Sigma Delta Chi
(a journalism fraternity), Sigma
Chi social fraternity, and Tri Ep.
Charles, a journalism major,
has no definite plans for the
future. He hopes to attend grad
uate school next year and then
chose his occupation, either news
paper work or teaching.
As editor of the "Gamecock" last
year during the presidential elec
tion, he met both Nixon and Ken
nedy, Bob Kennedy, Mrs. Rose
Kennedy, the president's mother,
and Lady Bird Johnson. He has

also interviewed Mr. James Byrnes
and attended a speech by Pierre
Salinger, the president's Press
Secretary.
Charles picked up his tenth
piece of paper and began cutting
it into shreds as he explained that
he is the most spastic member of
the Carolina Community.
"I always seem to do something
wrong, especially on very impor
tant occasions when I'm trying to
make a good impression. For in
stance, the night I pledged my
fraternity we went out to supper,
and while I was cutting my steak,
the knife slipped and turned the
plate over into my lap."
Hobbies and favorite pastimes
presented a problem to Charles be
cause he could not make up his
mind what he liked to do better
than anything else. He stated that

ties, doing silly things, and play
ing pranks on his roommate.
Carolina students w h o are
pelted with popeern at movie
houses may now be enlightened. It
is probably Charles, for he enjoys
throwing popcorn.
After depleting the supply of
paper on the desk, he looked
around the room for something
else to cut up. Spying a stack of
old editions of the "Gamecock," he
promptly began to shred them. By
this time his chair was surrounded
with a pile of confetti.
At this point Charles changed
his mind, "I know what my hobby
is-food. I spend all my extra
money on food and you can tell
it by looking at me. I love exotic
food and I guess Italian food is

dishes. I'm very excited about the
new French restaurant that is
supposed to open in Columbia
sometime after Christmas. I can
hardly wait to eat there."
Last year Charles attended the
Press Association convention in
Clicago and made out a list of
things he wanted to do and places
where he wanted to eat while
there. To his dismay, he discov
ered that he didn't have enough
nights to eat at all the restaurants
on his list. Never-say-die Charles
found a solution, however. Some
nights he ate twice.
As for Carolina, he only has
praises for it and wants to stay
here as long as he can. Perhaps
that's why he decided to go to
graduate school next year.
The conversation drifted to foot
ball and suddenly Charles cried,
"We're going to beat Clemson.
The team showed last Saturday
that they're real pros. I think
Marvin Bass is the greatest fel
low. With a man like Bass we
really don't need to win. It's
enough just to have him on our
side."
"Beagle" (an affectionate nick
name for Charles) said that he
has only one horrible memory
which concerns a terrible experi
ence of the past summer. He and
three others, Mike Sheheen, Bob
Hill, and Murray Coker, decided
to rent an apartment for the dura
tion of summer school. The four
brave souls vowed to do all the
cooking, cleaning, and washing
and divided the duties up weekly.
Beagle declares that he learned
from this experience that he
would never make ia good house
wife.
"The most terrible thing hap
pened," he said. "Some friends
were coming down to visit and
we wanted to put on a good show
for them. It was my week to cook
and I spent all day in the kitchen
making spaghetti from a recipe
of my mother's. That night every
thing was ready and we were pre
paring to serve dinner. In the
process of transferring the spa
ghetti sauce from the pot to a
serving bowl I dropped the bowl
and splattered the sauce all over
the kitchen. I just wvanted to sit
down in the middle of the floor
and cry."
A few minutes later Charles'
voice became somewhat muffled
and a quick glance abut the room
showed him nowhere in sight. Sud
denly there was a slight move
ment under a mountain of shred
ded paper and then Charles ap
p)eared. He brushed the confetti
from his head and shoulders, then
stood up and brushed off his
clothes, said thanks for the inter
view and plowed his way through
the mound of paper to the door.
