Although President
Holderman and a mob of
friends accompanying him
left for China almost a week
ago, the Gamecock was
unable to have a reporter
cover the trip.
However, a discreet File
13 correspondent managed
to stow away on Holdy's slow
boat to China and has filed
an in-depth report and
itinerary of the USC
President's trip.
Here is his detailed account
of the traveiogue:
Sunday, Oct. 19 at 4:00
a.m., Holdy and an
assemblage of six Board of
Trustee members, eight
campus cops (for minimal
security), two Chinese
professors, 12 Japanese
professors, 24 oriental
siuuenis ana ueorge Kogers
met secretly at the
Charleston Naval Base to
prepare to board the
tugboat. At 4:30 a.m. the
USC president argued with
the owners of the boat, a
band of Cuban refugees,
about how much he'd have to
Dc<v them for tht? n?p r?f fhoJr
vessel. At 7 a.m., the boat
pulledoutof harbor, with the
refugees remaining on land
counting their $9,000.
At 9 p.m. Sunday, the boat
is totally lost with Holdy as
the captain. He is wearing a
sailor's cap and singing
"China Grove" while the
Japanese visitor's are
committing Hari-Kari.
The rest of the crew is
either hanging out of the
boat or swimming in the
Atlantic Ocean. A mad
Chinaman is wrestling with

"In Hollywood, you're only
as good as your last film.
Freedom only comes when
your picture makes money.
That's why, in terms of
women directors, it would be
so nice if finally there was a
film by a woman that was
commercially successful. It

Weill is currently looking
for new projects to become
involved with, but she said
she isn't positive that she
wants to direct another film
right now.
"There are cycles in your
life," she said. "There might
be a period of 10 years where
VOU Want to u/nrb
desperately to build your
career. Then there might be
another 10 years where
you'd like to focus on having
a couple of kids, a husband,
and creating a home."
And in what cycle does
Weill consider herself to be?

those intermediary things."

Rogers on the deck. Bottles
of rum and bourbon are
rolling around the boat.
At 1 a.m. Monday, the boat
runs adrift in the Straits of
Madellan. Holdy is slumped
over the steering wheel, a
map of Ontario in his hand.
The crew now consists of the
USC president, three
Japanese professors, four
oriental students and
George. The rest have either
? i ?
jumped overooard trying to
swim back to land or hitchhiked
a ride on a passing
dolphin. There are three
tremendous holes in the side
of the tugboat which have
been repaired with Scotch
tape. On the rear of the boat
read the words "Peking or
Bust."
The crew finally awakens .
at 11 p.m. Monday. The boat [
is now sinking in the Gulf of I
Mexico. George reminds I

Mainland China. The USC
President disagrees and
steers the beaten boat
southward to South
America.
It's Thursday now and the
only thing to report is that
the boat is washed ashore on
the Tropical Island of Gula _
Mula. The crew busily builds
a makeshift boat out of ,

Today, USC is buzzing
with the news of the Holdy
crew lost at sea. China has
sent word that they don't
care what happens to the
USC president. Assistant to
the President Steve "Big
Guy" Beckham is about to
go insane, because he's in
charge and everybody
knows that he's not too
bright.

scence. There have been 47
"Goodbye Holdy" parties
with thousands of people
participating. People are
walking with more of a
spring in their step and
laughing more. Signs such as
"Hitler is Gone, Long Live
Beckham," and "Happy
Days are here Again,"
draped the windows of
dormitory rooms across
campus.
Meanwhile, the second
report of Holderman's attempt
at getting to China will
appear next week. We'll
start with Holderman's
trying to swim the length of
the Atlantic Ocean, and
ending up in Key West, Fla.
