Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor:
Recently I was apprised of
a rather startling piece of in
formation regarding last
year’s “Lance”. I thought it
would be wise to make the
acts publicly known, rather
than listen to the uniformed,
often vicious gossip which
pervades this campus.
Many returning students
have been expressing sorrow
at the demise of the popular
column, “Glancing at Spor
ts”. Mr. Wilmot’s acerbic wit,
his knowledge of all areas of
athletics, and his
unhesitatingly critical stance
made for exceptional repor
ting. TTiis week, however, I
learned that Mr. Wilmot was
not, in fact, responsible for
many of the columns. A half-
brother of his, with the rather
ironic nickname of Shadow,
wrote extensively for the
column. Shadow took a
master’s degree in athletic
journalism for the University
of Ohio in 1972, so it is no won
der that “Glancing at Sports”
maintained such uniform ex
cellence.
Certainly the practice of
having a ghost writer is not
unusual for many people in
the public eye, from
politicians to comedians.
However, I find it shockingly
indicative of the state of the
nation when such an activity
could occur in respect to a
small college newspaper. The
“Lance” has the reputation of
being run by a dedicated,
hard-working staff, a re
putation which is hardly com
patible with such shenani
gans.
“Glancing at Sports” is no
longer a feature of the “Lan
ce” because Shadow Wilmot
has gone on to a more
lucrative job than “ghosting ”
for his brother. After a sur
prise party thrown for him
this week, he left Laurinburg
for a job with the Baltimore
“Sun.” Certainly St. Andrews
(only now discovered) loss is
Baltimore’s gain, but I per
sonally find the whole mess
singularly distasteful.
I hope that Mr. Wilmot
will forgive my expose of his
column; I realize ttiat his ac
tions were taken with the best
interests of SA sports fans at
heart.
Sincerely,
Nancy Sullivan

In an effort to “pve New
Meek a diaracter of its own”,
residence director Neal
Bushoven has begun a senes
of weekly events called “Whet
Wednesdays”. Based on the
word “whet”, meaning ‘to
sharpen,” Whet Wednesdays
will feature programs and ac
tivities by faculty, students,
and outsiders on a variety of
subjects.
Whet Wednesday I, on Sep
tember 11, consisted of New
Meek’s High Table festivities.
Whet Wednesday H, was a
double feature, beginning
with Dr. Wallace FowUe’s
poetry reading at the student
Union, and contiftHing with a
slide presentation by
Bushoven and his semi
permanent house-guest, Dave
Bunn, on their hiking trip in
the mountains of Maine Ms
summer. In addition to the
slide show, the adventureire
held a two day exhibit in the
New Meek lounge featuring
relics of the trip and
photographs by Bunn. Among
the carefully labeled exhibits
were “rugged Bushoven’s ac
tual pillow (‘It was made by
my mother’)”; a bucket of
Maine rainwater collected
over a 48-hour period; and
“Bunn’s actual souvenirs-5
nondescript rocks (‘They
looked better wet-honest!’)”.
The hit of the show, however,
was a set of “actual Xeroxed
copies of Bushoven’s diary-
limited edition signed by the
author” in which the ex-
plorer-professor described, in
his classic style his ex
periences with the black flies

The film and videtapes
workshops will have a num

portant effect will be to allow
people to use the resources
available on campus in the
form of three videotapes sets
and two movie cameras. This
will involve not only the
college, but also the Laurin

The North Carolina Arts

from their favorite works:
Bob Tauber discussing the

events as Mackay Asbury
