THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., May 22, 1969—7-A Overwhelmed By Dietzel South Carolina’s Paul Dietzel, master of the spoken word, put on a marathon session for representatives of the news media a week or so ago, and none who attended is likely ever to be the same again. We were overwhelmed by the magnitued of Dietzel’s accomplishments in the three years he has been head Gamecock, and we were awed by the possibilities which loom ominously in the future for the established order in the Atlantic Coast Con ference. A former boy wonder who built L.S.U. into a national champion in football, Dietzel still retains the boyish look. He also has a certain hymn-singing quality which some have--to their regret-- interpreted as softness or weakness. This guy is the walking per sonification of the iron fist inside the velvet glove, and these are the qualities which are going to make him a big winner. Under his prodding a new athletic dormitory complex has been completed at Columbia. All the athletes on scholarship live there ex cept the basketball players. The official line is that it would be in convenient for them. The facts are that Frank McGuire is still not very happy with Dietzel, and probably won’t let his players live in the dorm. This is a pity because the place is simply unbelievable in its luxury. And it is refreshing in its discipline. Dietzel says he can only coach boys, and will allow no girl haircuts. A trainer sits inside the door to the sumptious dining room. If a guy comes in who needs a haircut he just doesn’t eat until he gets one. Rooms must be kept in inspection order, and nobody sleeps beyond 10 a.m. no matter how late he worked the night before. Oversleep and the penalty is the same--no food that day. Grades On The Roost' Study is supervised every night, and bedtime comes at 12 midnight. Result: the Roost, which is the name of the new five building complex and occupied entirely by athletes, had the highest grade average of any dormitory or fraternity on the campus last semester. Dietzel has brought together a brigade of talented football players. They are capable of winning this year and can’t miss next It is frightening to see what he is building, and the facilities available to him. With McGuire’s basketball empire cresting now, South Carolina is about to enter a golden age. Dietzel’s discipline should teach fuzzy professors a thing or two. With hard rules, strictly enforced, and with victory the reward of adherence, the South Carolina athletic community has pulled close together. Discipline, ^jtxpurse, is a necessary ad junct of accomplishment. There % «o way to stop a group of people who are bound together iira Common purpose. Dietzel says the most important attribute is loyalty. If anybody happens to get into South Carolina without it, he won’t be there long. Athletes live like kings at Columbia’s campus, but they pay like slaves, and they may expect to accomplish like champions. Dietzel believes a man who rests on his laurels is wearing the wreath on the wrong end. It’s up and on for the Gamecocks from here in, and the rest of the league should take due notice and govern itself accordingly. * * * Good Fishing : Improving weather conditions have brought go<xl fishing to South Carolina.
