was avoidable
When Russell House Director Tom Otts announced plans
for a music lounge on the third floor of the Kussell House, it
sounded like a great idea. It would be a room where students
could listen to music on headphones in a soundproof room,
would include cassette players, turntables, tuners and
eventually would house a "complete library of recordings.
Technical Services Manager Harry Bousbourelis supervised
the renovations of the room and the result is an inferior
music lounge.
Thousands of dollars were spent in the building of the
music lounge, but bad attitudes and a lack of time and care
kept USC from acquiring quality results.
ACCORDING TO Skippy Beach, former employee of
Boushourelis, he designed a system that would most efficiently
achieve the effect wanted. Due to internal conflict,
however, he left to work at the Quarter Moon and his plans
were disregarded. In his opinion, choosing a wireless system
for the music lounge was the major mistake. His designs for
soundproofing the room were also ignored, leaving
Boushourelis without as soundproof a room as possible.
Beach said lie was practically forced to leave because
his boss was jealous of his knowledge. Bo )ourelis said
Beach was trying to steal his job Whatever : .0 reason, it is
too bad that Boushourelis let personality con.lids interfere.

Beach's knowiedge and talent, the (Quarter Moon received a
brilliant new .sound system designed b\ Bench, one which is
acclaimed as the best in Columbia.
Meanwhile. Russell House is left with an inferior room and
a lack of money to improve it. The idea had potential, but
judging from the lack of participants in the lounge, it can be
deemed unsuccessful.

the Editor:
Upon reading Mr. Younginer's article in Monday's
imecock on the defense of Nautilus machines, 1 believe his
lack on Eric Richardson was totally unwarranted. I know
ic, and his efforts to further bodybuilding's cause on this
mpus have been numerous and well thought of. He puts on
*reat show at the Mr. USC. and attracts quality guests such
Mike Mentzer. Eric doesn't do this because he has tc.but
icause he loves the sport.
In response to your accusation that Nautilus is superior to
irbells, your information is inaccurate, to say the least,
lere are no bodybuilders now or in the past that have or
'er will build a championship body on Nautilus. The reason:
develop a muscle and work it fully, you have to hit it from
1 angles. This is impossible with the Nautilus machines
nee it only has one range of motion.
This is only one of many drawbacks to the machines,
aybe the Nautilus apparatus are good for periods of twenty
thirty minutes a day (which is not long enough to fully
ork to body), but lor nard-core Doaybuuaing ana
>werlifting, its effect is minimal, to say the least.
AS F()|{ Mentzer and Viator using Nautilus machines in
leir workouts, they incorporate Nautilus very little in their
orkouts. Their bodies' foundations was built \sith heavy
irbell and dumbell work and not with Nautilus. Ment/.er
jshes Nautilus because he is paid by Arthur Jones, Nautilus
ventor
Being n powerlifter myself, 1 personally have no use tor
autilus machines and other bodybuilders and pow erlil tors
ike would do well to stick to conventional barbell, dumbell
ni versa I and pulley work to build their bodies Nautilus is
3th overrated and overpublicized Maybe Mr. Youngmer.
L'ing an Kxercize Physiology Major, thinks he is the sole
uthority on both the sport of bodybuilding and Nautilus
.n/.h.n<L
in v i ii i iv o .
1 do not profess to know everything about Nautilus or
[xiyhuilding, but 1 will speak up when I think not only an
ijustice is done, and when someone professes to know much,
hen in reality they know very little.
