MARCH 14, 1975 ACIU4 ...so Kist what the hell do you mean I'm inferior to you? Oh, yes, I know you didn't say I was, But you said I thought I was. That seems even worse. But you're there to pull me through, aren't you? Ha! You've told me I should believe That all you do is for my benefit. Noting that I'm all for altruism; Even if this were true For the infrequent periods that we are together, There's a disquieting ankle-deep smog in that picture It's a fine idea, I suppose, but! Must I act like your autistic student, Blinded by the intensity of your aura, For you to believe its intensity? Must you treat me as your Judas or As the ignorant masses, For you to feel like a King? I believe you are better than that You are a King with compassion, And ears. So listen! There is a golden rule for you-- And for me, too. Surely Nietzche knew his apples When he said that believing a person is more than he shows, Can be the boost that his thespian nature uses to show more; Consequently feeling greater fulfillment, And greater satisfaction-confidence, Leading that person to livemore; ergo be more. Well, even if you didn't follow that, the point is What more can I say? That's how it is. We can't step on that, And we can't cross the line by too much-- It's a two-way street. Dark through the night creeps the lady with the broo phallic as phallic howling to the moon a voice from the dark draws me out of the curtains one less step FLASH a scream--- a sight ...that would have awaken.. Swisssh as in lightning thunderous roar what the hell is happening-- --as I stand in this door? Venus de Milo jousting her sword is this the girl scout I knew from before? gathering composure and placing my finger along my nose I ran towards the tempest... ..and ripped off my clothes. Ye golden fleeced warrior bearing thy wears thou hast no mind for maiden fair... what be-ith thou, this beauty I envision? in mine's eyes they name is woman. favor this humble boon 'tis pity to decline I man - ye woman thine entwine.

Chen wrote: You risked all, even in your native land To champion human liberty and take a stand- Not only for your fellow citizen, But for all oppressed and troubled men. I from China, you from Russia are outcast; But tyranny will not last. Together we shall see ... mankind set free. The Reader Asks What Do You Think Of The Course Offerings For The Spring Term—Do They Meet Your Expectations? AMST The Spring schedule, like the Fall and Winter schedules, exhibits the usual scarcity of interesting and required courses which means another miserable schedule, time-wise, for those who seek both. Winona Drayton 9th Bus. I don't like the Spring schedule at all. Most of the core courses I need are all night courses. Solemn wind-blown scenes accent winter's last embrace PAGE Photographed by Mark Feldman Peter Lund 12th MDET The course selection for Spring term is limited. Being an engineering student, I have to take certain courses, but I don't object to this, since they are relatively interesting. I wish, however, that we engineers would have a greater selection of elec tives. Sue Bretherick 9th So. Sci. The courses for next term are really lousy. The selection is limited to a very few courses which aren't very interesting or ap pealing. Photographed by j im bollinger
