INVOCATION
TO AMUSE
By CC Reader Staff Writer
As anyone who has had the pleasure of
taking Dr. Mahar's Trash I course can
tell you, Greek epic poems always begin
with an invocation to the muses,
beseeching their support in the creative
endeavor about to get under way. We
don't pretend to do things the Greek way
(thank, you Edith), but we do beseech
those of you who are amused by creative
undertakings to • invoke your personal
muses and to create something to share
with our newspaper readers.
We are looking for poetry, short
stories, and amusing, provocative,
and/or enlightening essays from
students, faculty and staff. If you're shy
or modest (as most of us have every
reason to be), we'll be happy to print
your work under the pseudonym of your
choice and keep your confidence.
If you've ever wondered what your
work would look like in print, now is your
chance to find out. You'll get plenty of
feedback, too, from our readers. So, put a
new ribbon in the typewriter and get' to
work on your submissions to the Fall edi
tion of our school newspaper, to be issued
September 23. Drop off your copy at Stu
dent Affairs, W-104, or bring it to the
newspaper office, W-129, by September
15.
Erato y appears to have whispered into
the ear of Matthew Harrison, who has
written the lyric poem, "Whisper,"
which we would like to share with you.
Enter the world of his poem, and feel
August melt away like a snowflake.

I hear the sound of the snow falling
Tiny baby feet tread
on my inner ear
singing me to sleep.

Noted Madame Milieux: "A

side and have the soul of a mouse or
be may be Mickey Mouse with the
iXoul of Hercules. If you ever have to
choose between these two types of
men. do not hesitate to pick the
mouse with the courageous heart."
