In the second place, he is a part time student at USC taking courses News J Correction The last paragraph in Monday's front-page article " 'Playboy' Disallows Exposure" was quoted out of context. It should have read: "She doesn't plan on paying for this extra work since the printer accidentally caused the delay originally. "I think Playboy is hurting itself. It would have been good publicity for them and enhanced our yearbook, too. I still think Paragon has done a fantastic job and helped us print a great book," Newcome. said.

He said a "technica person can offer more than s lawyer who has trouble un derstanding the technical uroblems that face him". Concerning the energy crisis, Holler points to the lack of priorities set by the Congress. The Venezuelan government asked the United States to build refineries in their country 10 years ago, but Congress said we didn't need it. According to Holler, this is just one of the many examples of congressional mistakes in the energy crisis.

He believes there is a great amount of waste in defense spending, but that he definitely believes the nation must stay strong to protect itself from Russia. Waste seems to be Holler's pet peeve. He believes the nation could do a better job of protecting its resources by placing the priorities on the right things. For example, the nation would be better off, according to Holler, if it would use nuclear fusion instead of fission to produce electricity. He said fusion is a superior method because it leaves no waste. There is enough material for the fusion process to last up to 20 billion years with no worry about the waste problems.

He said one of the problems with education up until recently was the reluctance of South Carolina to take Federal Aid. The engineer-politician comparqs himself with a man named "Ali" in many respects. He said he used to box in high school and his skills have come in handy over the years. Holler is at home relating the story of a minor confrontation between four "rednecks" and himself at a restaurant in Rock Hill as he is talking about the energy crisis. He told the way he took on four guys from his home town who had some dislike for him. From the battle he received not a single bruise.
