Fresh from success in high school and ready to take on the world- but awed and scared by the educational monster that would soon swailow us u--we sat and heard the story of the University of South Carolina for the first time. OnlI, yesterday I walked into that first class, a French class. I had been oriented. I knew what to ex pect. But it just didn-'t \ork out that way. I was scared. Only ve-erday 1 went to that first football game as a ''rat,' leady t' yeii :y head off for a win for the Game ctoc'ks. But m the fall of 196:s I learned that you don't yell too much at football g:m1es. It seeins ike ju,t yesterday that I walked across the IHorseshoe, remarked about how nice and pretty it was--and Only yesterday, in that second semester, I wrote that fir:"t sry for The (;ameco'k. It was great, I thought but Donna Russell ripped it up in the editor's meeting. I,st e:terday I cast niv first ballot in a student election. i in 'arid t. t v\'ting was like chtcring at football : .':---iC wo.n't tee fashi'nahie. Sterdr'. I was :,11-ne, with few friends in a University . ud ts. I \a w s t t bi. too imn person'al for friends. Today. I walked across the Horseshoe again-for the 1,i000h1 time, it seemed. It was beautiful: the grass green and glimmering in the sunlight, the flag waving with the breeze, the sun's rays shining brilliantly from he top of Maxey Monument. With each step I watched the bricks in the walk-each one part of a University, a part of me. T,day I stared at the faces as they passed-frien(dly tt . w kn own faces. cherished faces. There are many fritnId w. fraternity br.'t hers, classmates, members of . an:ats. drinking builes. itd' 1 t, 1 a look around. I)ivis Field is g one. New r!;,k.t"' p,, m! it<, place.

Today I walked into TIl; Gi ,rck ' office-for the 1.41(01th time it seemed. It's larger than it used to be. but u as clut tc'red.

Will Lurleen Support George? . Good morning, friends in televisionland. It's time for Lnother chapter of "I Love Lurleen," that rollicking situa ion comedy which asks the question: Can an improbable narried couple achieve a happy state? If the wifc gov rns it? As we join Governor Lurleen this morning she's at )reakfast. That's her husband, George, going through the nail. George is unemployed. .* * George (triumphantly holding up a letter): Look at - that! It says I can count on their generous, secret financial support if only I'll carry out my threat to run against that no-good LBJ for President. f,urlecn: Why, that's right fine, dear. Who's it from, the Republican National Committee? George: Nope, the Democratic National Committee. Seems the polls show I'd drain off the Republican vote and make that no-good LBJ a shoo-in. Lurleen (squeezing h i s hand): I)on't you fret, dear. I'll support you, win or lose. George (angrily): What do you mean you'll support me if I lose? Is that a crack? Lurleen : Heavens, no, dear. I just meant that as Gov ernor, I'll always need a man who's handy around the State. You know, some body to pass out bouquets to the poor folks and make awards to school teachers and maybe beautify the highways. Handyman! N o w don't you go forgetting who brought this State into our marriage. And just because I let you run it for a spell . . What's HOPIPE this? A bill for two new freeways and a molasses cracking plant? I don't recol lect you asking me if you could buy any new freeways. Lurleen (nervously) : Well, dear, you were off making speeches up North. And I thought it would be nice if I fixed up the State a little, kind of as a surprise . . . George: Surprise? If you think a woman spending money is a surprise ... Lurleen (near tears): Oh, I don't know what to do. I work night and day trying to make this a nice little State for you to come home to, a warm, secure power base ... And I was going to let you cut the ribbons. George (mollified) : Cut the ribbons? Well, I do like cutting ribbons. 'I'here, there, I reckon I should stay home more and help you around the State. Now, let's see, why don't you run off to the school house and stand in the door and after that . . . Lurletn (nodding glumly as George rattles off several dozen instructions) : Yes, dear. No, dear. Yes, dear. Is that all, dear? Well, now, don't you worry any more about me. You just ru along for President and I'll be praying night and dlay that you win. George (pleased as he goes out the door) : I can tell somehow, honey, that you really mean it. When I'm in the White llouse, i'll write you every day. With de tailed instructions. Lurleen (pouring herself a second1 cup of coffee with a sigh of relief) : There's no nicer time of day than when you get your husband off andl you got the whole State to yourself. We(ll, tune in again, friends. Meantime, mein, remember that nothing wvill make your marriage a happy one like you running for President. Or any p)lace else that's far away.
