  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Contacts 'n'briefs ii be ii by Tom O'Toole Do vou have a favorite 8-track tape that you just hate to part with which needs repairing? Then lust bring it by 159 Reynolds or call 691 and ask for either Keith or KC. We will repair at reasonable cost. Electrical power v. off in campus buildings again this Sunday from 1 to 2 p.m. The outage will permit the installation of new equipment at the electrical substation near the warehouse, and is necessary for upgrading electrical service. Off-campus resale i will not be affected As the summer draws to a close, the blackberry season dwindles, and the blight settles heavy on the bean patch, the Old Man of the Cave finds it interesting to make a few "state of the world" predictions. Close to home, the Republicans, facing a sure loss in November, will grasp at straws. I predict that Ford will pick Eldridge Cleaver as his running mate. Cleaver, as you may recall, is a former Black militant who has recently become a good "Neegra" in an attempt to regain his status as a US citizen. With the GOP ticket thus balanced, Jerry Ford is assured of carrying Cambridge, Mass. where jerk-knee liberals will vote for the Black candidate without regard to political, economic or social consequences. He will also carry Plains, Georgia where most of the local population will be tired of having their breakfasts interrupted by TV interviewers from New York. In international affairs some interesting events are certain. General Idi Amin will declare war on Beverly Hills and demand equal access to Johnny Weismuller's swimming pool. A swift retaliation by the Far Rackaway Hadassah will follow. Amin will be drowned in Weismuller's pool filled with three thousand gallons of chicken noodle soup around which nubile maidens wearing only bagel bracelets will dance counter-clockwise horas. There is a good likelihood that peace will also come to the war torn countries of Lebanon and North Ireland. In Lebanon, Danny Thomas will appear in a 24 hour Peace Marathon with Harry Golden, Sammy Davis, Jr., Pope Paul, and Nominations for Librarian taken Muhammed AN. Each of the participants will do a traditional Arab belly dance on the fallen statue of King Richard the Lion Hearted and the prone body of Henry Kissinger while singing the haunting Arab melody "Alakazimkazee" (translated simply as "stick that in your pipe and smoke it!"). In North Ireland Ara Parseghian will arrange for Bob Jones University and Notre Dame to become surrogate combatants in a grueling duel-to-the- finish tiddly-wink contest. Thus removed from the fray, the Catholic and Protestant peoples of North Ireland, whose real problems were economic rather than religious, will be able to recoup their losses by running the gambling and beer concessions at the match. Resolution of the other world conflict will not be so easy. As you all know, the Prime Minister of Quebanada refused to allow the Outer-Banghastan crap-shooting team to participate in the MacDonald Hamburger International Crap-Shooting Contest. As a consequence, the Outer-Banghastan team crapped-out of the contest and stormed home, vowing to cut off Quebanada'a supply of cheap cotton/dacron shirts. Of course, Prime Minister Trueblue of Quebanada will retaliate by cutting off Outer-Banghastan's noodle supply. Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail and perhaps the Outer Banghastan Crap team will be officially invited to participate in the Marx-Lenin Crap-Shooting contest four years from now in Moscow.
