Green Gunkies are working on a flag football dynasty
The Green Gunkies give a victory cheer.
Don’t read this if you’re squeamish...

Since this is the final issue of the
semester (and a Christmas one at that) I
thought I would relate an experience I had
last Christmas break.
In and around the Midwest there is a fast
food chain known as White Castle. “White
Castle has the taste some people can’t live
without,” the advertising jingle goes.
White Castle is open 24 hours a day,
every day of the year, excluding
Christmas. The tiny inexpensive ham
burgers are bought by the dozens, and are
notorious for ruining a person’s entire con
stitution.
“Sliders,” as they are known, are usual
ly swallowed by late night drunkards or
just people with cast iron stomachs in
general. Apparently, I only fall into the
category of the former.
After a long night in Indianapolis, so
meone had the bright idea of stopping at
the ‘Castle.’ I gobbled down six of the tiny
cheeseburgers, each equipped with a tiny
pickle and tiny onions. They tasted great
but the worst was forthcoming.
The following day, my friend Doug and I
were to drive down to the southside to do
some work. I was driving. We stopped at
MacDonald’s for two large Cokes and
Doug got an Egg Mac-Sausage with Swiss
or something.
Well, I felt a little queasy, and I wasn’t
helped by a bite off Doug’s sandwich. As I
drove on 465, the multilane highway that
circles our fair city, I felt those six Sliders
going into reverse.
I thought it would be cool to fill up my
empty MacDonald’s cup, throw it out the
window, and drive on as if nothing had
happened.
Unfortunately, things happened too
quickly. I yelled at Doug to give me his
cup. For the life of me, I could not stop
throwing up. In the meantime, I had slow
ed down to about ten miles per hour in the
middle of the interstate.
Traffic flew around us as I barfed on
myself and the steering wheel. I kept try
ing to hand my cup to Doug so he could
empty it. Doug, however, was leaning out
the window yelling, “I’m gonna gag!” I
told him that he would make a lousy war
time medic.
Well, we finally pulled over and neither
of us drowned. The stuff was all over my
mother’s Chevy Cavalier. Remnants of
tiny pickles were on the floor
Now nearly a year later, I have yet to set
foot in a White Castle. Even watching the
commercials back home can send me rac
ing for the toilet.
So please heed my advice during the
holiday season. Don’t drink and eat
Sliders.

against East Beam in the BC flag football

Auten, Anthony Bedberry, Matt Blue,
Robert Cooler, Tommy Misuraca, Ricky
Montgomery, Warren Nance, Jim Poovey,
Walter Rahme, Don Rett, Chip Robinson,
Ricky Surles, Eric Weir, and Chip (the hit
man) York.
On Dec. 2, Green defeated the Taylor
Untouchables, 14-12, to advance into the
championship.

If you are like a lot of people here, your
parents probably dropped you off, waved
goodbye, and left you here without a car.
On holidays, you always seem to be the
one that is running around begging for
rides to the airport, bus stations...
Now all you have to do is go to the office
in the Student Union about 4-5 days before
your trip, give Dean Witek’s secretary
your flight or bus information and they will
set up a group of people and take them to
the airport or station.
The cost is as follows:
—to go to the Asheville Airport - no
charge
—to go to the Greenville-Spartanburg
Airport — $25 a person.
—to go to bus stations — no charge.
Don’t worry,.
—all these include rides back as well.
These are only for designated holidays
on the school calendar.
