WESTERNER WORLD
PAGE 3
King Williams I Hears the Great Message
(cont. from page 1)
One day King William I sat in his Royal Throne awaiting an
announcement from his loyal subject.
First to enter the throne room was the Royal Bookkeeper, Sir
Romancelot. “Sire!,” said he, “I fear to report a most terrible
accident!”
“What has happened?”
“Sir Jack of Tinney fell asleep while drilling the new recruits and
they marched into the moat; and the crocodiles have not been fed in
days!”
“Quick,” commanded King Williams I, “Send Lady Kline to their
aid at once. Perhaps we can still save some of the poor devils.”
“You mean the recruits?”
“No, the crocodiles. And Sir Romancelot!”
“Yes?”
“Have the Royal Cooks send a flagon of hot coffee to Jerry the
Jolly, ’ere he, too, fall aslumber at the wrong time.”
“Yes, my Lord,” said Romancelot, and left.
Next to enter was Sir Um the Stout-Hearted.
“My Lord, I bring both good tidings and bad tidings,” sayeth Sir
Um.
“Proceed,” sayeth King Williams I.
“First,” began Sir Um, “It has been made perfectly clear. His
Majesty Richard IV is alive and well and says he will reign for four
years more.”
“And the good tidings?”'
“Sir Tommy the Stone-Hearted reports that our soldiers have a
hearty chance of defeating the Mustango army from the Coronado
Castle.”
“Very well Sir Um the Stout-Hearted, you may go, and send Sir
Tommy to me right away.”
Sir Um left, and a few minutes later Sir Tommy appeared in full
armor.
“Well?”
“My Lord, the men are ready to crush the enemy. They will not
retreat! They will attack, destroy and wreck. They will ransack,
pillage, and rape! They will bind up all the men and kidnap the
lovely dames!”
“Go to it, Sir Tommy!”, King Williams ordered.
“I go, Sire!”
“And Sir Tommy!”
“Aye, Sire?”
“Do get it right this time!”

Public Crowns Carlin ‘Comic of Counterculture’
Those who follow the unpredictable and unabashed comic George
Carlin may remember how he appeared four years ago, as the
clean-shaven, formally-dressed, shifty-eyed stand up comedian
who did simple but humorous routines about rookie policemen and
Indian war parties.
IT IS NOW a totally different Carlin that we see clowning on The
Flin Wilson Show, the Johnny Carson Show, and the Dick Cavett
Show; and a funnier one. His shoulder-length hair hangs freely or is
tied behind his head. His face sports a full moustache and beard.
Long gone are the formal suits. They have been replaced by the
traditional ragged Levis and variously decorated Wallace Beery
shirts. Carlin has changed, too. He is fast, witty, hilarious,
sarcastic, and profane. His topics range from his Irish, Catholic,
and Brooklyn boyhood to the many uses of four-letter words.
THE LEGION of fans who adore this 36 year old hippie have
proclaimed him as “The Comic of the Counter Culture” and have
proved it by providing him with his first Gold Record. It is titled AM
and FM and is on the label of Little David Records. Little David
Records is owned by another comedian, Flip Wilson. Wilson made
the recording contract with Carlin after being greatly impressed by
a guest shot Carlin did on the Flip Wilson Show.
AM and FM is a record that will strike funniest those who have
not seen Carlin on TV very often. Much of it is merely a re-hash of
Carlin’s familiar TV routines. Side Two contains Carlin’s best
television material. “Wino” is so perfect an imitation of the pop
music disc jockey that you’ll find it hard to believe you’re not
listening to the radio. In bits on day time television, Carlin
impersonates Monty Hall and Bob Eubanks in a grand fashion.
Carlin also does his most famous characters on this side. There’s
fhe batty newscaster (“Good humor man slays twelve”), A1 Sleet,

the hippy-dippy weatherman (“Hey, que pasa?”), Ed Sullivan, and
others.
SIDE ONE, however is like the lousy flip side of a hit single. It
consists mainly of the kind of off-color night-club material that is
banned on television and for which Carlin is periodically busted for
using in public. His discussions here of “shoot,” “Sex in
Commercials,” “Drugs,” and “Birth Control” are on the
intelligence level of a naughty 11-year-old. There is on side one,
however, Carlin’s clever and well-loved “Hair Piece” “I’m aware
that some stare at my hair..and there is some insight into drug
problems and commercial contraceptives.
George’s latest album, Class Clown, is somewhat more droll.
His funny recollections of being the show-off in a Catholic school
are greatly similar to Bill Cosby’s classic early records. There is
more of Carlin’s social and political wit in this album, for instance,
George’s caustic comment about the physical symbolism of the Viet
Nam War. A sore spot blemishes this record, too, however. The last
band on the second side is an awful five minutes of air pollution
called The Seven Words You Can’t Say on Television. They
shouldn’t be said on records, either.
Counselor’s Corner
Mexico Native
Enjoys U.S.
students had no say in the
school’s affairs. The principal
and teachers would not listen to
the students and their ideas.
Also, most of the schools in
Mexico won’t let their boys wear
their hair long, and she pointed
out that this was just an
example of the strictness. She
believes that the spirit is much
greater here then it is at her old
school and said that there were
no pep rallies at their school.
She feels that the pep rallies
here are important in order to
get the students excited and
interested in the games.
At the former school of the
Mexico native, however, they
did have a demerit system
similar to our own. She feels
that this system does not really
help the student as he is
working for the system rather
than working for himself and
his own future.
Now that Tere has started
school in Lubbock, she cannot
return to Mexico because the
subjects and credits are so
different that it would take her a
long time to graduate. Besides
that, she doesn’t want to go
back. She does miss her family,
however, and is planning to
visit them over the Christmas
holidays.
After graduating from high
school, Tere plans on furthering
her education at some college in
the United States. Her future
looks bright because she is a
smart, beautiful girl who is,
most of all, happy.
