S Vulgar Not
Dear Diary,
My gosh, I've never been so shocked in my;
life.
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.

They came on into the house, and George
was dripping all over the place (although Dic
key is the real drip) and we all sat down to
talk.
After about thirty minutes Tom came home
early (and in a huff) yelling something about
his drawers an'dit was then that I realized that
they had -een starched.
Oh, Dia, y, how ran I be so cruel? 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
