A SAD STORY
A very close acquaintance of
mine built a cottage on the lake
some several years back. It
was a nice little cottage, sit
uated on a little knoll on a
point of land jutting out into
the lake. One could sit on the
screened porch and enjoy the
breezo—or sit under the shade
of the trees and watch the cork
of a fishing line. The cottage
had ample room for purposes of
relaxation. It was even equipp
ed with running water to a
sink; it had a stove and refrig
erator, table and chairs, dishes
and tableware.
Only one thing was missing.
The person who built this
cottage yearned for the old
days "This cottage,” he said,
"is NOT going to be equipped
with indoor plumbing. It will
have an outhouse!" And that’s
exactly what it had - an out
house.
What brings this to mind is

( Oi l EOF BOWL
If I don’t have my date'- con
fused, Sunday, February 4th,
1- the date that a team of stu
dents from Furman l’diversity
will appear on the nationally
televised lover NBC, 1 think)
program, "College Bowl". Your
televiewing is probably much
more up to date than mine, but
this is a program which fea
tures competition of genius-
type students from one college
or university against the same
types from another. I am at a
loss as to tlie university Fur
man will be pitted against be
cause I didn’t watch the show
the past week.
There is a .-light local angle
which I thought might oe of
interest, in addition to the fact
that this IS a South Carolina
institution being represented on
the program.
