A Jouri Racetra By Regina Galgano The interview with Charlie Brad shaw was quite different from any that this writer had ever encoun tered. In fact, most of the people at the track meet wondered what a steeple-chaser was doing on the track. Well . . . it was yours truly trying to catch speedy Charlie for an interview. My horse was a slow starter so I didn't get to Charlie until the first hurdle. Over the first hurdle, Charlie was born. "Society Hill, South Carolina. 1939" That's it, Charlie boy, save your breath for the last lap. Like most people Charlie grew up. Like a true star, he grew up eating Wheaties and shaving with Gillette. Meanwhile he at tended Darlington High School and Wofford College. Second hurdle. Charlie comes to Carolina. But first the story of how he got here. Wofford not having a track team, Charlie trained on his own so that he could attend the State Freshman Track Meet. Hitch hiking to P.C., where the meet was held, Charlie ran in his high school shorts and a Citadel T-shirt, but even so, he managed to tie the state record for high hurdles. All nature's forces were against Charlie that day, even the rain came down in torrents. But Bradshaw came through with flying colors and Coach Baskin took it from there. Charlie naturally accepted the track scholarship that Coach Baskin of fered him to come to Carolina, and the following spring semester en tered the hallowed walls of USC. Once at Carolina, Charlie dis carded his old way of life, pledged Sigma Nu, joined numerous activ ities, and settled down to studying and enjoying life. Charlie was re cently rewarded for his numerous activities by being elected to Who's Who In American Colleges and Universities. Among the activities that Charlie has been associated with are Student Council, State Student Legislature, Orientation counselor, and Captain of the Track team. He has been Secretary Treasurer of the Block "C" Club, and chairman of the Student Dance Meet Me at Tapp's Designed to make campus . . . our carefree collectior blouses.

Pleeze slow up, Charlie. My horse can't breathe with all the dust. Whee!! Over the third hurdle. He Charlie I is majoring in marketing, and plans to graduate this June. After that he "plans to just goof-off this summer" before entering the Marine O.C.C. training corps. For the next three years the only running that Charlie will do will be for the Marine track team. After his stretch in the service Charlie thinks he will either go into salesmanship or management, but hasn't really decided. He will jump that hurdle when he comes to it.

That is, I usually goes to summer school a1 works. Last summer he worked the maintenance department of t] University. Know what his job wal Painting McClintock dormitory. Among Charlie's favorite acti ities are playing practical jokes < his fraternity brothers. One of h "favoritists" is setting clocks bac It seems that he has made quite few people get up a lot earlier thi they had expected. "Tareyton's Dual Fil says Ursus ( Bear Foot ) "We animal wrestlers f that first post-fight Ta smoke, Tareyton's one fi gustihus!" in "Please, Charlie, please slow up, my horse is foaming at the mouth re I'm afraid he isn't going to make ii as over all these hurdles." ." One of "Junior's" latest embar. at rassing moments happened a fe" ry days ago when he called the thirc re floor of McClintock and asked t< speak to Todd Walter. He reall) didn't think that Todd would be ul - there, he just dialed the wrong num. ber. Then there's the time that on( of the house mothers almost had to have a new door put on the dorm because Bradshaw almost tore it off the hinges. That isn't as bad as it sounds. Charlie was just rushing out before they locked it. Then there was the time that Charlie's tux shirt wasn't ready to go when he was, so he gave it to one of his "adopted mothers" and she had it fixed up in no time at all. Fourth hurdle. Whew! "Horse Bostick is really getting a work out. The poor little thing ha. never had to jump so many hur dles so fast in all his life." Charlie's family consists of a 15 year-old brother, a sister, 19, who is married to one of those Clemson people, and another sister in the fifth grade. His family also owns a cow, but whether or not Bradshaw considers it part of the family is another question. Like all red blooded American boys, Charlie has a "little doggie." But dogs are not only man's best friend, they are also Pam's. Seems that she has a huge stuffed dog on her bed named "Bradshaw."

The winner, Charles Ed ward Bradshaw, Jr. The loser, poor little Bostick. Now that the horse was so near to exhaustion, Charlie condescended to jog him around the track to cool him off. But instead of being cooled off, Bostick gave a moan and fell down on the ground and died. Since Charlie was still full of energy, he consented to give Bostick a decent burial before con tinuing the interview. "Thank you, Charlie, Bostick always did want to be buried by the person that outran him." After the funeral was over and Charlie was in his usual place in the lobby of McClintock, there wasn't much left to tell the inter viewer, so there was a period of mixed emotions over Bostick's death and the winning of another medal for Charlie. He will add this one to the others and Pam's charm bracelet will have a new addition. Among the medals that Charlie has won recently is the one he got at Chapel Hill a couple of weeks ago, when he took first place in the 70-yard high hurdles. Now that only future hurdles lie ahead, Charlie, here's wishing you lots and lots of luck. But please from now on will you take into con sideration the horses and don't force too many of them to heart attacks. Better still, just don't be interviewed on the track anymore. And thank you for burying Bostick. The only thing that I'm wondering about is, what people will do about that mound in the middle of the track ? kudrey from page 4) ant and "Duck" Mathis, and ames.
