Famous Lecturer Visits WPCC INTERVIEWER What is the most important change you see the new Administration having on the social front in Washington, Mr. Goober? Goober: Well, now just a minute there. Several people have used words like front and seige when they've asked me questions about the Carters in Washington. This ain't a dad-burn war zone up here, is it? Int: Well, frankly it wasn't when the Fords live up here. But there arecertain things that are sacred to the social strongholds, er, social set I mean that have defied change for two hundred years and the leaders in society feel somewhat threatened at the lack of formal proprieties that seem to flourish around the Carters. Goober: Why has it got to be so formal - this is the place where opportunity lives and now they can let their hair down for good. It does not have to be a competitive, ethnocentric political playground for the privileged. We're gonna let y'all be good ole boys too. Before long I bet there'll even be some born-again among the brothers. Slight shudder from the Interviewer. 136 Q But, Mr. Goober, it is not desirable to those with the political and social clout to have a sub-culture thrust into the works of a finely honed social structure that has Weeded out the poor ambitious, the social riffraff, and all but the artistic, amusing eccentrics so successfully To overcome these precedents would ambush the faith of the hopeful, the wealthy, the aristocratic. And I don't mind saying, to be overcome by Peanut Power would be both humiliating and set a dangerous international precedent. Goober: We're aching for a reformed world image anyhow. And you talk like aristocracy stops with the Mayflower Yankees. Why, y'all were up here trying to grow rocks under 5 feet of snow when we were enjoying a lucrative Southern society. 'Course the great Wahr was only the beginnin of that trouble. Anyway this is gonna be the second best thing since grits. Int: Whatls the first best thing since grits then? Goober: Ahem! You just aren't lustin' hard enough for knowledge if you hafta ask that.

SUPER JOCKS AND JOCKETTES Awareness of Physical Fitness has come into its own in recent years. The college curriculum leaves no sandbag unturned to provide something for everyone - male and female. Today's girls can really get into weight-lifting. And if they adhere to instruction can get out of it with trimmed figures and no lasting injuries. Some of the most attractive females on campus are also going to be the strongest. You can learn to cut a wake as nicely as a Mark Spitz and do tumbling and gymnastics rather like an Olga Korbett. For the overall effect there's straight physical conditioning or Health, which presumably incorporates facets other than sheer physical effort. Yoga is available for those who don't care to dare the brute athletics. Geared to bring the best out from inside and opening all kinds of doors to a more stable psyche and body. 138 'ffl HX , a , , Q t w h Magi-M .,
