"Loathe Story" first weasled its way into the hearts and lungs of West Virginias coal miners in 1969. Tops on "The Bituminous Times" bestseller list for months, "Loathe Story" is a brilliantly contemporary novella about loathing, and centers around two With It loathers. Oily and Hennifer. The literary classic was conceived and written by Ermush C. Gall, a graduate of the Old School The author, a former coal miner himself, acquired his prose finesse deep in the mine tunnels during 15-minute Coke breaks. Mr. C. Gall (friends call him Mushy) has allowed this condensed version, with apologies to "Readers Digest. " When told of the small sum ($1.98) paid by the DTH, Mr. C. Gall blandly replied, "Another day, another clean T-shirt. " The story: Campus calendar Newman is alive and living on 218 Pittsboro Road.

Parti What can you say about a 25-year old girl who killed herself? That she was forlorn. And lonely. That she had a lot of moxie. That she loathed Astaire and Jessel. And Wayne. And me. One night I poignantly remember, when she massed me with those entertainment hacks, I asked her what the order was. She answered, frowning, "Alphabetical." At the moment I frowned, too. But now I can't decide whether she was placing me by my first name-I would precede Wayne-or by my last name-I would follow Astaire. Either way, I don't finish last, which is quite depressing for a young man who has always failed. Product of my background, you know. Part II In the fall of my senior year at Wake County Technical Institute, I would often stop off at Joe's hamburger stand for some greasy french fries and a root beer. It was a busy place, always crowded with drunken college kids. (In a way it reminded me of my youth in the Bronx; interested in doing volunteer work at Murdoch Center this semester tonight at 7:30 in 112 Davie Hall. Old volunteers are also asked to attend.

Anyway, I eventually fought through the bodies and plopped my heavy anus on the counter. And ordered my usual. The waitress dabbled around for a few minutes and finally produced the slimy fries and root beer. "That'll be 52 cents, kid." "I'm no kid," I replied. "I'm Oily Barnacle." I was self-assured, cocky. After all, my old man is the only whaler operating on the Hudson River. I'm proud, although I loathe him. "Oily Barnacle, huh?" she questioned, obviously bored. "Never heard the name." I was shocked. Knew I had to come on strong in a hurry. "What'cha doing after work hours, baby?" I demanded. "Nothing." "How bout shooting some heroin over at my place?" She wanted to say no, but she had severe acne and was hooked. And she hadn't dated in the five months since coming to Judy Curl Hairstyling Academy. "O.K., kid, if that's your bag. But it better be good stuff." She sneered and turned away. I could immediately tell she loathed me. Part III As the early morning sun gleamed through my bedroom window, I glanced down at my freaked out date sitting on the floor. "Incidentally," I slurred, reeling from the heroin, "what's your name?" "It's not Mary or Sue, if that's what you're thinking." "I wasn't thinking anything." "Don't be so proud of your ignorance." "I'm not ignorant, except of your name," I said, ego-tripping in the Bogart-like reply I had offered. "The name's Hennifer. Hennifer MortelU." "Alright if I call you Hen?" It wasn't.

Use the term "Financial Planning" to most people, and it's interesting to see what happens. A film forms over the eyes. There's that look of wanting to be far away. In short, what, you're suddently confronted with k sheer boredom. Now why should the con cept of Financial Planning bore people? Very simple. It's because most people are not rich, and mot people think Financial Planning is wily for the rich. Honest, it's not. It's for any one what hates mess. Be cause Financial Planning, simply stated, means analyz ing and safeguarding your assets so that they can be passed on to your rightful Part IV Winter came, full of coldness. My evening classes in welding at The Tech grew more and more boring. So did Hennifer. But nobody else would date me. And who would date a harsh, acne-ravaged daughter of an Italian immigrant? A voman whose father, in fact, had failed with the Mafia and now sold pencils on a street corner in Gary, Ind. So Hen and I saw a lot of each other. I had good contacts and she supplied the bread. Heroin flowed as Blue Ribbon had in my earlier years, before I got With It. It wasn't a terrible time, just very bad. The drug expenses soon forced us to live together in order to cut costs. We began to argue more frequently. I specifically -remember one night when I couldn't find any heroin. We had to settle for speed. What a Bummer. Not used to the stuff, both of us became violently ill. Really piqued, I stared into Hen's dull brown eyes, searching for some chastisement. Her zit-infested eyelids closed. "I loathe you," I muttered. "And, dear Oily, I loathe you." Part V With the end of first semester, things got worse. To top it all, our landlord (a God, family and children type) threatened to take us to court if we didn't marry. Economically, we had to stick together. And I no doubt loathed Hen with all my heart. The feeling, I knew, t was mutual. It would be a disastrous ' marriage. But revelation came as I watched the Roller Derby on the tube one January night: we loathed our own selves much more than we loathed each other. The marriage ceremony was a simple affair. Only her father and the preacher were present. (Hen's old man somehow got a job selling colored pencils on a chartered train heading South, making it to Apex just in time.)

I requested hira because I knew the event would help me to get a job there upon graduation. It was the worst garage in tie county, and I earnestly yearned to labor among my peers. Part VI Four months passed slowly. I was 27th in the welding chtss of 30 at The Tech and really had to screw the final to finish last. But I made it. Hen worked at a local . beauty salon now, and was always tired and hassled. One day in early summer I learned Hen had seen a doctor and undergone some tests. The doctor, whose little black bag was his office, diagnosed the disease as terminal cancer of the cervix. I was overjoyed. And so was Hen. She envisioned an existence free of bouffant hairstyles and acne; a state void of bills and bad heroin. And me. We marked off the final days on a calendar I ripped off a porno dealer downtown. The hours went tepidly and we learned, in the turtle-like agony, how much we really loathed each other. The appointed hour eventually arrived, however, and we rushed to the doctor's home in a '57 Chevy with "All Power to the People" painted on the side. While the doc put Hen in a private bed with mung-covered sheets, I sat on the john reading the latest "Playboy." Part VII Quietly tucked away and viewing her last segment of "Love of Life," Hen was an almost sympathetic iigure. Almost. Thursday-Mar. 4-8:30 P.M.

"She will live 50 more years." I was furious. And so was Hen. In her depression, that blurb of a woman blamed me. Td like to kill you." she screamed. My heart . pounded. A sense of deliverance swept over me. I wish you would kill me, I thought. INe gotten everything I ever wanted -an ugly wife, a habit and a job at Sludge's Garage. I have loathed everything and enjoyed it. And now I fervently loathe my own physlcalness. I want my body to suffer inglorious defeat. "Please do it, Hen!" I shouted. "Put me away!" She denied me, as she had so many times before. Rising up on the bed like a madwoman. Hen grabbed a nail file from her purse. She glanced loathingly at me, and then stabbed herself in the stomach. Two. Three. Four times. She was dead. I strolled outside, distraught because she had expired instead of me. A life of loathing was behind her, terminated by her own hatred for herself; which was, in the end, a far, far greater loathe than she ever held for me. I pictured her in my mind, sprawled across those filthy sheets, her tissue and membranes and blood dripping onto the floor. Yet, in my own dismay, that slushy mental image offered a brief glimmer of hope, a potential yellow brick median along the great highway in the sky. In death Hen had shown me one thing I never noticed in our life and loathe together. She had guts. f V v THREESOME is the first film mil in Denmark sines! that country endsd a!l censorship.
