Poide Brunton and I were in the Campus Club for lunch and thoroughly enjoying their pizza and coke when all of a sudden this wad of paper came flying down and hit me right in the forehead. Well, I thought it was a vulgar com ment of some type and I was right. These two fifty year old guys were hanging around on the balcony and they sent us a note. It said, "Young lady, young men will not always send you messages in bars. Not will they send you notes.'Gather ye rosebuds while ye may.' " Well, it was kind of exciting, so we wandered up there and there were these two reprobates staring us in the face, so we high-tailed it back down to our good old pepperoni and peanut but ter pizzas and vowed never to eat there again. When I got home, Jim Dickey was standing in the fountain yelling "I am James Dickey and I am the greatest poet in the world," which, as you know, Diary, has been repeated so many times here that it really ought not be said again. He was standing there in that silly hat, and when I looked closer; I saw that he was standing on top of George Garret. Well, I knew right then that it was going to be a literary evening. 'Roy.

It's almost as crqel as packing somebody off to Alabama for Easter weekend. Anyway, Tom and Jim and George got to talk ing and decided they would go down to Lake Murray and have a good time. It sounded almost as boring as that newsletter "Strom Thurmond Reports to the People." I thought that Dietzel was a complete tool but it took three hours of Jim Dickey ranting and raving to convince me that there is at least one other. George never got a word in edgewise. Jim kept going on being incoherent and yelling about having to do these awful things like "teach" and "grade." I kept telling him that the sports pages are just like the massage par lors of New York, but he couldn't make the connection. Diary, I'm just rambling on.
