1 "JsM GRIEF: It's homecoming, and on this day in 1955, a car crash took James Dean from this mean old world. Why, I ask? Why him? Why James? I still feel lost; I can't help it. The emptiness is right above my left aorta. COPING: I was at happy hour at GROUP, nursing that James-Dean-emptiness with help from my favorite GROUP bartendress Kim. She just got it fixed where she doesn't work Saturday nights, which led us to talking qbout the Vectors. The Vectors will be playing Rockafellas' this Saturday night. This group has really gotten good here lately, extremely good. Come out to see them and yell and demand they perform their psychotic/sexual long version of "Gloria," "Cuba" and better yet, their head-ripping, rap-like version of "War Pigs." You will not be disappointed. FORTUNATE ONE: Congratulations to Kathleen Davis. She won, unanimously, the first annual RenameTodd-Ellis-Before-The-Administration-Does Contest! Actually, Kathleen was the only one who entered. Again, Kathleen wins a six-pack of new Coke and a copy of the country anthem, "Stand By Your Man" by Tammy Wynette. Here is what Kathleen wrote: "The readers of The Gamecock should rename Todd Ellis THE Bod. Todd THE Bod Ellis is the perfect name for THE quarterback at THE USC and member of THE Iron Cock Club." I asked Kathleen if I could arrange a marriage between her and THE Bod, would she comply? The future will be interesting on this one folks . . . FORTUNATE, TOO: Speaking of Todd, I've started my own screenplay about THE Bod. It's called TODDBO: The Night He Saved Homecoming, Part 1. It's going to be a high-spirited adventure/musical where TODD-BO saves the Homecoming festivities from being foiled by a group of Five Points Radicals. Todd sings, he dances and when he throws a pass in this movie, it's literally a "BOMB." The finale has TODD-BO fending off the radicals with his rendition of the Nancy Sinatra classic, "These Boots Were Made for Walking." Oscars are eminent. WHO'VE YOU SLEPT WITH?: I stopped in and talked to Doctor Peter Kilmann again, asking him what rights a person has in knowing the sexual history of their partner. Dr. Kilmann said that first of all, it is vital for each person in the relationship to realize why such information is important and how it could be helpful. Kilmann said in the days of sexual disease and crises, such as the AIDS virus, one's sexual past is a legitimate concern. First of all, he states there is no need to deal with specifics, that something along the lines of, "I've had seven sexual relationships in the past, and I feel that we used proper precautions" can suffice. Also, Kilmann notes that you shouldn't lie because that could come back to really haunt you, and you should keep in mind exactly how much information your partner can handle because as we know,.. i . vn,,it-., fviorf*. wi cocf J OJiniowiiFBotw ?If 8?(u:$[n) Gs PIP i WILLIAMS-BRICE ST A SEPTEMBER 30,1988 7 0'( SPONSORED BY USC ATHLETIC DEP/s FINANCED IN PART BY STUDENT ACTP PRESENTED BY Buses to and from Coc PiCklipS!

All the artists performed up a proverbial storm; the best was when Springsteen invited "STANG" (Sting) to join him with a strange version of "The River." Springsteen, true to his legend, was hell-bent on letting you know that he was there to rock'n'roll and that he could do it better than anyone in the business. Bruce was dressed completely in black leather and even erahhed hie nenie nnrp Hp later said, "When I was growing up, I got a sense of so many things from rock'n'roll: life, living, fun, good times, sex, human possibility. But the thing I got most was freedom ..." Bruce's divorce sure was showing. THE CAUSE: Not to forget the cause: Amnesty International USA, PO Box 37137 HRNP, Washington, DC 20013. ME: Not to forget me, I'm Chuck Dean. Letters to me or Kilmann can be sent in care of The Gamecock, Drawer A, Russell House post office.
