  • Columns Western Carolinian/December 3, 1981 Observations by E. G. Khett "...beyond these voices there is Peace." Tennyson, Idylls of the King, Guinevere, 1. 692 (1859). Last 25th June of this year, I sent this paper an account of an Executive Memorandum transmitted hvthe High Foreman to all of the Lesser Foremen .concerninga communications system involving certain Zap-Phrases that were held privy to those who sit in lofty offices. But, since 1 thus made that language public, the confidentiality was upset, so the Authorities conjured up a new set of words, a copy of which I was given by one of our more colorful local citizens. 1 now report it as follows: Cullowhee I I Plantation / AVE ^SftSfe,98'- Execu,lve Mem° *>-y* T°- All Mid pf Fore"ian S°' "* shall con, COm™nica,ioris £* m"™ ",a" which a"nouncemenr^C0°nat;jn"5'ocomn]unicat . °,ore "'Shiy memorab,f ^Ploying a new h, Farmers, WortL w,sedi«ctives n. e^ellen„ye/enc?W.tnh''-'y 'xpcnlycho?**"' and Slaves of;hemands'andfuisome COLUM* , 2AP-PHRASE Vor4 _ _ dements.

It appears to me that this system of communicating must be far superior to all others ever invented, in that it provides unimpeachable, evocative clarity, on the parts of the Foremen who think it up and write it, and imaginative, clever creativity, on the parts of those who are required to read it. For instance, should some anxious Sub-Foreman wish to order some fresh Cherry Tarts(howdelectaciousl) for the male members of his Staff, he might well express his desires to the Head Procuress of the Plantation in the following manner: MADAM: In filling our order, please exercise your Circadian inductive propriety (Zap-264) in order to expedite our Momentous agreeable maintenance (Zap-439), and advise when you are willing to deliver. Yours, etc. The possibilities seem endless, and I can hardly wait to try out some of the apparently infinite combinations of these words and phrases in my future messages to the High Foreman. 1 rest assured that he will surely know what I am saying, whilst any lower-ranking observer would not understand it, yet would not dare to admit that he could not do so! The World cannot exist without voices, but there are many voices it may well exist without! Valete! Astrology Aries (March 21 - April 20)--Your holiday was not as exciting as you wanted. But it had its good moments too. Dwell on those for a while. The rest can give you a good laugh later on. Think about those fantasies you have in classes. They're fun and they won't interfere with your work if you keep it under control. By livening yourself up, that fantasy may come true. Taurus (April 21 - May 20)~Even Cullowhee has been exciting for you lately. At least you've been kept busy. But now you really need to get away. Be sure to plan ahead and cover your tracks. Spray for roaches, pick up the papers and check your screens. Watch out for potholes as you buzz down the highway. Keep your eye on the road and a steady hand and all will go well. Gemini (May 21 - June 20)~Those decisions are still tough for you. Either choice has its good and bad points. Don't tarry any longer. You can satisfy both sides by choosing the least favorite on the important matters and the fun sides for the more trivial matters. If you choose only the most favorable aspects, you'll be cheating yourself. Take your medicine, then eat your candy. Cancer (June 21 - July 20)~Now that you're out of the doldrums and ambition has returned, you realize that you're so far behind that you're tempted to reenter the twilight zone. Don't. Use that logic you possess and organize your duties. Reset those past deadlines but meet them this time. It's not too late — yet! Leo (July 21 - August 20)--That weight that was on your shoulders has finally been lifted but your own problems have replaced it. You can rely on your previously burdened friend to help. Learn to share and share alike. You're not being burdensome, you're just being open. That shows caring too! Virgo (August 21 - September 20)--You feel that you've done your dues and you can sit back and rest for awhile. Don't justify your relaxed attitude, simply catch your breath and get back to work. You've got to hump to get results and the final deadline is just around the corner. You have only made it over the next-to-the-last hurdle. Libra (September 21 - October 20)~Now that finals are approaching, it is time to hit the books. You may use anything that is handy: a ball bat, rubber truncheon or your hockey stick. Chain yourself to the desk and if you find yourself deviating.have your roommate strike you about the head and shoulders with a pompom until you return to those books. To avoid a scene, stay firm in your determination to keep it up. Scorpio (October 21 - November 20)-That crutch is becoming ridiculous and your headaches are annoying. Relax and flow back into the swing of things. It's much better to proceed in a bouncing manner than it is to hobble along in a zig-zag pattern. Get your ducks in a row and you can finish with a flare. You've come this far, don't pull out now. Sagittarius (November 21 - December 20)-Do not believe the rumors that all of your professors hate you. It is not true at all for only some of them do. Try to adopt a new attitude in class and leave at home your Rubik's cube, castanets and gallon jar of No-Doze pills. Instead, take notes, laugh at all their jokes and smile sweetly all through class. Remember, professors are almost human, too. Capricorn (December 21 - January 20)~Most of your desires have come true of late but, with things going so well, you think something has got to go wrong. If you let this out-to-get-you attitude grow, everything will seem to go wrong. Continue your concentration on the good things. If you look for a snake in the grass too long, you'll eventually find one. Aquarius (January 21 - February 20)—If you are in a quandry as to what to do about the problem that has been bugging you lately grab the bull by the tail and look the situation in the face. You may not like what you see but when you have the end in sight you can handle anything as long as your grip is firm. Stay loose and when you have solved the problem, have yourself a ball. Pisces (February 21 - March 20)-The pressures are almost over. You feel like the end will never come but you're nearly there. You have the energy. There are others you can depend on if you'll let them help you. It's not a crime to ask for assistance, nor is it to share burdens with those who care. So you can swim alone! That doesn't mean you shouldn't flow with the current. Information on ALASKAN and OVERSEAS EMPLOYMENT! i Excellent Income. Call: (312)-741-9780 Extension 3219 c
