  • observations! ■■ By E.G. "■"■'" Why, if 'tis dancing you would be, There's brisker pipes than poetry. Houseman, "Terence, This is Stupid Stuff!" lines 15-16. This being a sort of extended holiday season, with the 4th's being all blown out, the 5th's being emptied, and a rash of beauty contests going on, I tnought I'd lay off badgering the High Foreman this week and allow him to enjoy his newly decorated doghouse in peace. Imagine, though, his letting Plantation Hands paint it for him, when he could have nad so much fun doing it himself! But maybe hell do the pen-keeping on his own. While he is so appropriately employed, 111 turn my hand to a matter of a somewhat wider (though not by much) interest - my somewhat belated and much bemused advent into the world of punk rock disco dancing. Now, my readers may think that a gentleman of advanced years (I've already seen Haley's Comet - once!) and white-haired dignity would not wish to be caught cavorting to the strains of ear-splitting, rather uninspired mechanically-wrought "music." In fact, everything about the place seemed mechanical, including the dancers and the "robot girls" who stiffly jerked their greetings as I innocently allowed myself to be led into the low-lighted lobby. There were marvelous great machines with sparkling, many-colored lights and satellite-like gadgets that twirled and lowered from the ceiling toward the heads of the people moving on the underlighted floor and then raised wildly up again. There were long platforms on three sides of the single large room, on which people in various levels of undress were gyrating. Most of the fellows wore brightly coloredl bikini-type briefs, and one had on a pair with no bottom evident in them at all but his hairy own! Another very good-looking young man was dressed in a red, skin-tight leotard and a short, see-through plastic raincoat, while his eyes were artistically coated with a lime-green glitter mascara. He had a very nice face and good legs, too, but his wrists were not strong. To tell the truth, 1 didn't know whether I was in a dance hall or in some kind of strange Orwellian factory-world. If Charlie Chaplin had visited the place, he probably would have been tempted to update his wonderful movie, Modern Times. When I dared to step with my lady friend out onto the dance floor, steam came up from below, taking the crease out of my pants and re-activating my prostate gland, and a kind of cannon fired clinging styrofoam "snow" at our heads (which didn't show on my white hair). And those blasted overhead machines threatened to pulverize us while the loudspeakers nearly destroyed our eardrums. However; 1 danced until my blue three-piece suit was drenched, my gold watch chain tarnished, my Polident What Do You Want From College? Management Experience? Add It To Your Schedule. College military science courses are courses in leadership development. You learn techniques involved in the management of resources. Techniques that are applicable to any management job. Another important leadership characteristic is interpersonal relationships. Things are accomplished by people and the kind of relationship established goes a long way in determining your success as a leader. Whether you intend to become a manager in a military or civilian career, Army ROTC can give you a competitive edge. You can take the first courses as a freshman or sophomore without obligation. Advanced courses, in your junior and senior years, lead to a position of responsibility as an officer in the active Army, Reserves, or Army National Guard. Don't wait until after college to get practical management experience. Add leadership to your class schedule now.

My Italian shoes steamed almost as much as the floor did and I lost fifteen pounds, but I have to admit, I enjoyed the evening thoroughly, and 1 got almost as much exercise in two hours as I used to get on my old, worn-out PleasureRub mattress. I wonder if the ingenius High Foreman might erect one of those establishments on the Plantation, perhaps near the Exhibit Center located in the basement of the Laughing Stock/Mountain Foundation Tower (LS/MFT). It certainly would provide an energy-outlet superior to the one visited by several of the Mid- Foremen, Low-Foremen, Farmers, and Slaves while 1 was off dancing*- that is, they ate pig-meat, guzzled yards of "mother's comfort," and did not pay a Nickle for it. My word, I wish I could have been there, too! I must close now. The High Foreman called, asking to borrow my new shovel to clean out his dogpen, but I'm not going to let him have it, when he can easily requisition one from the Plantation Labor Office (PLO).
