Carolina's Bob Kaczka led the wAy for the Cocks with his record setting 1:49.6 win in the a8 and his j7.9 anchor leg of the winning mile relay. The New Jersey junior was named the neet's outstanding athlete for his accemplishments, beating out other such notables as Maryland's John Baker. who set a new record in the mile with a time of 4:04.2. In the 880 which broke the record of Maryland's Dick Smith of 1:49.8 set in 1963, Kaczka once again relied on his finishing kick as he burst from third place with 220 yards to go and outdistanced North Carolina's Kenny Helms and Duke's Phil Wilson to the tape. His time of 1:49.6 also gives him the Carolina school record, erasing the old mark. Later Kaczka teamed with Sammy Gibson, Dickie Harris, and Allan Hall to win the mile relay in their best time of the year, 3:14.0, over favored Duke. After a 47.7 third leg by Harris, Kaczka took the baton two yards behind the Duke runner and thrilled the crowd with a fantastic 47.0 anchor leg to give the Gamecocks the victory.

Sport4 Editr Vic Laughlin is currently the head diving coach of the South's best squad here at USC. It is by no accident that the diving team has blossomed into one of the brightest spots on the entire swimming squad. But, more than likely, Laughlin will not be here next year, to the chagrin of many people connected with him in his soort. As one diver put it, "It's the worst damn thing that could happen to the swimming team." However, the athletic department apparently doesn't feel this way. According to reliable sources, Laughlin has been offered a supplementary salary by the University to tack onto another job that he has to find himself. In other words, the athtetic department has presented Laughlin the head diving coach's job on the basis that he runs two jobs at once. Now, two jobs isn't too hard for Laughlin to hold down because he has been holding three jobs since the beginning of this school year. He has been, besides the diving coach, a graduate student and a coach on the Columbia Swim Club. Maybe this wouldn't be too bad if Laughlin was single, but he isn't. He has a wife and four children. Laughlin has held down these jobs on the theory that he would be hired by the athletic department as a fulitime coach. Surely his performance merits that right. In the ACC finals, the divers placed consistently in the top ten finishes. In the one meter broad, three Carolina divers finished in the top ten and in the three meter three finished in the top ten with USC diver John Thoder taking first. If this is not enough, three out of USC's five divers went to the heralded NCAA finals. Reportedly, Laughlin has asked for $8,000 for the job as head diving coach. He was turned down. But apparently the talks are still in session, but like the fable Paris peace negotiations, they seem to be going on to nothingness. All Laughlin is asking for is a salary to support his wife and kids. Concerning this issue, Laughlin has said, "I'm not going to starve for anybody, anymore." Laughlin has said, if he could have his way, he would stay here at USC because he loves the school, he has made his home here. However, he has been offered four other jobs from colleges as head diving coach with the benefits of a full time job. The chief school after Laughlin is the University of Virginia. They are building a new pool with a good diving well, plus, Laughlin would have his own office. Ron Good, head coach at U. Va., has said, "Laughlin is the kind of coach we want to help build our school intp an ACC power." The question here is not only $8,000, which alongside the $400,000 and $100,000 pools that are being planned, is stark, but a man's livelihood. He now receives $100 a month from the athletic department as his salary for diving coach. Paul Dietzel has stated that he wants to build all our g sports into conference contenders. This seems to be an entirely backward approach to a championship in swimming and diving if the athletic department plans not to have Laughlin back. Granted, the diving team doesn't , make up the entire swim team but, as has been the case for USC this year, they do play a major role in deciding the winning or losing of a meet. Time and time again, Laughlin's divers have lifted the team back into the meet. With the addition of Alan Gentry, who has a reputation as being a winner, as head coach, the swim team could be really what Dietzel has prophesized - a top notch team. Hopefully, for the good of both the athletic department and the swimming team, a solution can be worked out for Laughlin. But, it should be in the form of a full scale, full paid job as diving coach, and not as a full time occupation or a part time salary as has been the case for the past year.
