?\ f > From The i<j| Horse's I' Mouth h v Mr JTJ I J irxi, XJU Just last week I overheard two humans discussing politics. "Well, so-and-so hasn't moved Columbia or the state in all those years in office!" I have reached the conclusion that we should elect the person who really can move this city, and advocate moving Columbia closer to Atlanta. The concerts are better there. I received a letter from one of you out there, complaining about the apparent irrelevance of this column. Robert Patterson, a history major, suggests that this be titled "From the Jackass's Mnnth " said that he is bored with the column, since I rarely cite why I write, WHY MUST PEOPLE be so inquisitive? Why does thsre have to be a reason for everything? Everybody takes life so seriously that they seem to lose any sense of enjoyment they might have had. Of all the potential "serious" issues to be dealt with, Mr. Patterson singles out a harmless, semi-humorous attempt at breaking the monotony of daily news. Whether or not this column is .indeed funny is not the point. The point is, there is no point. If you are looking for something serious to read, I suggest you try Ann Landers or the Reader's Digest (which gives me indigestion).

Jackson Browne is dropping by on the 21st, and rumor has it that a certain piano man will be the entertainer on May 2nd. Camping out for tickets to the Browne show was a rewarding experience. The management of the Township made every effort to keep us comfortable. They even let us in to see "J.D. Sumner and the Stamps: a Tribute to Elvis!" AS I ENTERED the auditorium to the sounds of "Let Me Be There," I became increasingly thankful that Elvis is now doing what all good songwriters do after they die: decomposing. J. D.

As the night grew, Mr. Ed was taught how to throw a frisbee, and was nicknamed "Ashley Whip-Ed, the Wonder Horse." Some of the more ardent Jackson Browne fans had camped out for two nights. One remarked, "I'd give $100.00 just to touch his ass." I wonder how much I could earn if I was his horse.

Several people camped out separately to obtain tickets to championship tag-team wrestling. All in all, it was an ultimately enjoyable time, as many new friendships were struck up. A special congratulatory remark is due Woody Allen for mopping up the Academy Awards, and choosing to play the clarinet rather than attend the boring ceremonies. Woody Allen fans were probably a lot more excited than he was, but I still think he appreciates the recognition.
