To Whom It May Concern,
Carol Teems and I were
contestants in the Circle K
sponsored Dance Marathon last
Saturday night. I am writing this
letter in protest of the
organization this dance seemed
to lack. Part of the dance was a
fiasco from our view-point.
There were little — if any —
rules (established or enforced).
The only rule that we were told
was that the only break would be
on every hour for 5 minutes.

I Sat Awaiting
By Briggs Petway
This afternoon I sat out on the front steps and waited
fnr the mailman. The front of my house has
i Linated me. The abundance of trees makes even
hrleze that ventures through feel like the breath of a
It whispers with a cool moisture like unto a
woods a valley, a pastoral stream. Closing my
:vi UeeS^ds and squirrels and deer and rabbits,
xk mv expected parcel did not choose to arrive,
1 A rnv eves and went venturing across the law
nomove. I shrank to two inches In
?reked towards the street. Trees became
r o. afcicQ hppame dense, imderh,
Some of the standard rules for
any dance marathon as we
understood were. I) if your
partner drops out of the com
petition, that automatically
disqualifies you. This did not
happen. One case in particular;
the girl dropped out, the guy
found a girl from the audience to
be his partner; when she
dropped out he found another.
There were a couple of instances
where this occurred. 2) You
cannot sit in-between songs.
Couples were lying down on the
floor while waiting for the next
song. 3) No favoritism on the
types of music played. A couple
was tired; they had friends who
were playing the records so they
had it arranged to play only slow
records (dances) until we and
another couple complained. 4)
The dance will continue until the
last couple quits. This was not
true either. Tim Corbett called
the dance off at 7:00 a.m. There
were several couples still on the
dance floor (five to be exact).
We (Carol and I) had already
decided before the dance to
break the present record of 18
hours, but were unable to reach
our goal. 5. Lastly, the prizes, we
understood (were told) that the
last couple on the floor would
receive a gift certificate for a
pair of shoes. This was an
nounced during the time of the
marathon and at the end(?) 7:00
when Tim Corbett was ap
proached with the matter he said
that the stores had backed out on
the agreement.
He (Tim Corbett) gave us 3
dollars and one other couple the
cake. I have no earthly idea of
how he came to such a decision
as to who would receive what.
We did not want the money, but
we took it and have applied it
toward our sponsor’s Pledges-
That was the mam reason for
the dance; to raise J.®
deaf children. Even thou^ th'S
was accomplished, we feel that a
lot more money could have been
'^^We'^and a few other people
want and feel we deserve a few
explanations.

Dear Editor:
As a college student and a
member of the Board of
Aldermen (city council) in
Chapel Hill, I have worked hard
to get young people involved in
politics.
Many of my friends have
asked questions about Robert
Morgan, the Democratic
nominee for U.S. Senator.
I endorse Morgan 100 per cent.
Robert Morgan is concerned and
knowledgeable about inflation,
farm problems, and the average
consumer.
Students looking for jobs know
how bad the economy is, and it is
the Nixon-Ford administration
that is destroying the dollar.
Let’s not make the mistake of
sending another Republican to
Washington.
I urge students and other
college and University people to
elect Robert Morgan U.S.
Senator on November 5.
Sincerely,
Gerry Cohen

Hnsed niy eyes and went venturing across the lawn
onlv I did not move. I shrank to two inches in height and
treked towards the street. Trees became blurred in
height as grass became dense underbrush. Upon
reaching the stepping stone I realized the sparrow's
^tnt of veiew. A stepping stone is not a huge monolith
Kit an imposing plain, a plateau. Berries from the
Srpwood trees fell and shook the earth as though
propelled by volcanic force. As toey fell from
r>.Au;here out in space one is forced to recall a com-
Stion of “Journey to The Center of the Earth” and
“War of the Worlds.”
The air is dirty and dusty, choking and par(*ed
Annarentlv I have wandered near the driveway, A. roar
and the clouds darken the sky. But no, this is no
nimid it is the automobile bringing someone home,
the machine that once took me about
wheel rolling closer and
Appareniiy i nave wcmucicv* utai luc uhv
arises and the clouds darken the sky. But
cloud, it is the automobile bringing someone home.
Immediately, the machine that once took me about
threatens my life. I can see the wheel rolling closer and
closer. The fear is terrible, I guess it is comparable to
seeing the United Nations careening down Nash Street. 1
run farther and manage to escape the crushing tread,
yet the infinitely small dust falls around me in shapes
and sizes of boulders.
Miraculously I escape the car, the dog, the neigh
bor’s kid, the fly (the size of Vokswagen), and even the
seasonal fall of leaves.
But time and tide and term papers wait for no man so
I open my eyes and see reality — trees that don’t tou(ii
the clouds, cars that are not throwing boulders at me,
and even dogwood berries that are not so meteoric.
Or was the two-inch man the real me? Am I no«
asleep, dreaming that I am awake? Maybe I am a
figment of someone’s imagination. Maybe I’m not meat
all. I’m 2632or 2789870or 240-92-1819r 243-4949or 243-3131
or 8TplCl81443. Who knows? Maybe I’m someone's
punishment. Maybe I’m not at all.
