Y' all come--Sadie Hawkins' tonight

1:11 SAD lE

HAWK\NS

by Vicky Nettles Tracy took a deep breath as

she waited for David at his locker . She had always wanted to go out with him , but he had never asked. "This is my chance, " she thought . "The Sadie Hawkins Dance is coming up soon , so I can ask him out and he won ' t think I 'm being forward ."

Once every year the girls get a taste of what it is like to take a guy out. The girl not only asks the guy to the Sadie Hawkins Dance , but she also drives , takes him out to dinner , pays for dance tickets and pictures , and usually buys him a shirt to match hers .

Sadie Hawkins began at Captain Shreve four years ago. The Student Council that year saw that other area high schools were having such a dance , took this lead and sponsored a Sadie Hawkins Dance that year . It has been an annual event ever since.

The Sadie Hawkins dance is very well received by the

students of Captai n Shreve . According to studen t council president , Clyde Dornier , as many couples attend the Sadie Hawkins dance as do the Home­coming Dance . The profits made off the dances are usually about the same . The profits made by the student co unci I off last year 's dance were used to purchase the display case in the office foyer.

In a random survey of Shreve students it was found that most students like the idea of a dance like Sadie Hawkins . The general idea of the guys seems to be that with a dance such as Sadie Hawkins , the girls learn one of the most important factors of dating-money . One junior boy state, "The girl knows how it feels to spend $30 or $40 on just one night after she has taken someone to Sadie Hawkins ."

However, none of the girls seem to be worried about the cost. The general idea of the girls is that the Sadie Hawkins dance gives them a chance to ask out someone they 've always wanted to go out with . One sophomore girl stated , "The Sadie Hawkins Dance gives the girl a chance to ask that 'someone special ' out­the one that won't ask her!"

This year 's Sadie Hawkins Dance will be held tonight in the Captain Sh reve gym from 8-12 . The cost will be $4 a couple and $2 .50 for a single ticket. All tickets will be sold at the door .

Enterprise Captain Shreve High School, Shreveport, Louisiana Volume X, Number 6 February 29, 1980

Four CS drama students receive instruction from Miss McKellar in preparation for" Johnny Belinda", set for March 4-6.

Play set for next week by Cara Milner

The Drama Club's Johnny Belinda , set for presentation March 4-6 , is going to be a good one . Based on the old movie of the same title , it is about a young deaf girl , Belinda , who learns to communicate through sign lan­guage . The story takes place in the earl y 1900's on a small fishing island near Nova Scotia .

Catherine Watts plays Belinda and Jon Burel bach portrays the doctor who teaches Belinda how to communicate. Since this is Jon 's first role , he 's had quite a lot to learn . Besides the basics of acting , he has also learned sign language for the role , of which he replied , " It 's a job ." For his part

in the play , Jon 1s also growing a beard as requested by director Miss Maleda McKellar . Jon attends rehearsals every night along with the rest of the cast from about 6 to 10.

Catherine , who seems quite at ease on stage , says playing Belinda is a very complicated job. It 's like learning to act all over again , she says . She feels it 's more of a challenge than any other role she's ever played because the only way to relate is with total facial and b.ody lan­guage.

The play , the second this year , will run March 4-6 in the Shreve auditorium .

Painting a wall is the job . assigned to these three stage workers for the upcoming play.

Survey results shocking-- Hitler, Bani Sadr, space travel--least of student concern by Karen Coe

Several months ago, The Shreveport Times ran a Gallup Youth Survey on questions per­taining to world and American history .

The Gallup Youth Survey gave a short history quiz to a national cross-sect ion of teen-agers and found that while two out of three teens (67 percent) could correctly cite 1776 as the year the U.S . declared its independence, only half that number (33 percent) could name the Civil War as the war in which states' rights was a major issue.

Teachers say ...

Correct identification in the Gallup Youth Survey ranged fro.m a high of 79 percent for identifying Adolf Hitler to a low of 31 percent for identifying Indira Ghandi.

The Enterprise did a similar random survey at CS which involved basic , general , and enriched students.

As you can see from the results of the survey , the enriched stu­dents scored consistently higher than the other phases and the males outscored the females in all the phases.

The results of the survey are in the next columns .

~students don't care' by Andrea DeFoy

Who is Khomeini? 72 percent knew, 28 percent did not. When did the pilgrims land in Massa­chussetts? Only 9 percent knew , a whopping 91 percent did not . Who didn ' t know? Students right here at Captain Shreve . These were only a couple of ques"tions asked in a schoolwide survey . But , what do the teachers think about these results?

Miss Georgia Lee , an Amer i­can history teacher , has mi xed feelings . " I don ' t think they see a need to keep up with what 's going on ," she said . She feels that we haven ' t put enough emphasis on current events and international relations.

English teacher , Mrs . Debbie Fetzer , had a different idea. She believes that students "basically don ' t care. " According to her , students are too busy with work and extra-curricular activities to become involved .

Mrs . Gaye Gannon , Jour­nalism teacher , had similar ideas. She said, "I think most kids have their minds on other things. She thinks students are too preoccupied with friends and parties . "The things that are happening are not really close to the students ; that's why they ' re ignoring them ," she added .

Assistant principal Tommy Powell also had a few comments . He sai d that as far as watching the news, a lot of people watch telev ision for entertainment , so when the news comes on they just switch the channel over to something else that 's enter­taining. He also felt that since it all doesn ' t effect them per­sonally, they're not interested. " It all goes back to what touches you ," he said.

Along with these comments came a couple of suggestions. Lee suggested that students watch the news two or three days a week at least.

2 opinion

Is rating loolcs worth the rate? The two sophomore boys sat

cautiously in the cafeteria. One gave out a long deep whistle, "Hey did you get a look at that blonde over there , " he said as he nudged his friend. "I think I'd give hera '10'," he uttered. "No way , look at her teeth. They look like a sawed off shotgun. I would rate her about an 8.5 , " his colleague replied.

The numbers one through 10, (and sometimes but not often higher), are now used to label human beings. Ever since the movie "10" came out, which introduced to the bulging eye male population the perfect female, Bo Derek , it has caused Americans to use our numerical expressions to describe the beauty of a person.

If you are g·iven a rating of a " 10" it means you are perfect, not a flaw or blemish anywhere on your gorgeous body . You

probably don't need to wear hairspray and your mascara never runs when you cry . The ratings decrease depending on how many abnormalities you possess. If you are stuck with a rating of 1 , 2 or 3, you might as well pack your bags for Fantasy Island. There they don't care what you rate.

Expressing human beauty in mathematical terms has to be one of the most disgusting things that has hit our country since mood rings. We are human beings, so why in the world must some of us consistently regress to put labels on a person 's physi­que. Come..on America , let's get our self in shape and forget about associating numbers with beauty .

After all , my mom says that beauty is only skin deep . Besides, mother knows best.

Free Enterprise, a waste of time? by Amy Brossette

Since 1977, free enterprise has been a required course in high school curriculum. This non-phased course has become a regular hinderance to many students , especially to those in the enriched phase. . .

To those students in the enriched phase, free enterpr1se 1s a total waste of time. Not only does the class move so slowly that it bores students; in addition it takes a half-credit that could be filled with a more valuable course. . The free enterprise classroom varies widely in intellect levels. It

·ranges from the extremely intelligent students to the very weak stuent-creating a gap that is impossible to bndge. If the teacher moves at a rate comparable to the level of the intelligent students in the class she loses the rest of the class entirely. On the other hand , if she mov~s at the rate of the less bright students , those intelligent ones are "bored stiff. "

So the teacher plods along, trying to reach a " happy medium. " The less intelligent students fail , while the brigher students make straight " A's " in spite of their boredom. . . .

Not only is there the problem of boredom w1th1n the enr1ched phased students in free enterprise classes; many students are tak1ng up a half-credit that would be beneficial to them in other areas. Most things learned in a free enterprise classroom are "common sense" to enriched students , whereas things learned 1n other courses w1ll be helpful in college curriculums. Perhaps if students were allowed to test out of free enterprise , or if the class were phased , students could reap the total benefits that the class has to offer.

Dear Editor: School lunches have always

been criticized by Captain Shreve High School students. The cause of this seems to be peer pres­sure. Some students like the lunches but won't admit it for fear of getting poked fun at!

Lunches at Captain Shreve , 1 ike any other cafeteria has its good points and bad points. Some foods are better than others but all in all the lunch is a very well balanced meal , especially for a quarter.

Students should realize that for the price of the meal and the variety they'r.e really getting a good deal.

Dear Editor , 1 would like to respond to the

letter written in the last news­paper concerning the Captain Shreve Pep Squad. The girls in the pep squad join to promote school spirit. We by no means are a dance team. If we were to have a dance team instead of a Pep Squad , it would drop our squad from 150 to 20. But I would 1 ike to thank you for your suggestion .

Jr. Pep Squad Member (Name withheld upon request)

Dear Editor , 1 think that Captain Shreve

needs a dance team. A lot of other schools do, and I think it livens up the half-time show at the football games.

Of course we would need a qualified teacher who could teach modern dance steps. The flag line had a teacher help them with routines and steps. They paid for it at a sensible low-price.

1 am sure there are many girls interested and many are probably talented. Why not at least try to get a dance team started? I think it will be well worth it.

Letters to Editor Dear Editor :

I would like to commend Miss Joyce Jordan, physical education teacher and pep squad sponsor at CS , puts in many hou rs that are not required in a regular teaching day. Jordan sponsors approximately 121 junior and senior girls.

Practice starts in April for all newcoming juniors, and starts again in August for summer practice to begin working on new routines. Jordan attends every practice at those times. She can also be seen at every football and basketball game during the season.

Jordan took on full respon­sibility this year since no

replacement was made for co­sponsor. This year is the first year only one sponsor has directed the squad.

This is a hard job for two people and even harder for one.

Thank you Miss Jordan for everything you have done and everything you will continue to do!

by Sarah Flowers of grath

Grath recently heard a radio advertisement announcing that a local bar (which was 100% disco) would be giving away free drinks to anyone entering wearing a cowboy hat. Now why would a disco try an angle like that? Grath believes it is due to one fact , that being that disco is finally leaving the scene. Yes , folks , you heard right! Disco has been run into the ground and put on posters for too long . There will no doubt be several people distressed by this, but Grath feels they will be outnumbered by those who have been waiting for it.

This change in the scene has been approaching slowly. If you ' ll think about it , they've attempted to prolong disco and add var iety to it by combining it with roller skates . What an ideal Apparently, roller disco is quite popular in California , but it just hasn't caught on here in Shreve­port ... (what a shame I) .

The country scene is becoming

a ' little more popular, but with everyone wearing cowboy boots , it's rather inevitable.

However , one of the latest and still growing fads is Punk . Grath has been told that in Boston, girls dye their hair strange colors such as blue and green and wear things like pink tennis shoes. Even though Shreveport isn't as drastic as that , a lot of the music now being played is Punk. A lot of it might go by unnoticed, but like almost anything , it will grow on you . Some of it isn ' t bad at all, just as long as you don ' t have to watch them perform.

But whether you are into Roller Disco , pink tennis shoes , or you like you hair braided like Bo Derek , just remember that there are " different strokes for different folks". But also remember that it may not be best to " join 'em if you can't beat 'em " .

Odyssey House offers help to many by Amy McCowen

Judianne Wenson-Gerber and 17 junkies began Odyssey House in 1966. Odyssey had total assets of $3 .83 when it opened. Today it is an international program.

When asked what Odyssey was about , counselor Stephen Owens said "Odyssey is a drug­free psychiatrically oriented , therapeutic community. Treat­ment is based on open group con­frontation among residents forcing them to face their reality , peers and mostly themselves ." Owens added , "Since drug abuse is a symptom of a self-destructive pathology , Odyssey developed personal growth to replace drug dependency . W itnessed urine screening of all residents three times weekly assures no drug use. "

A special adolescent treatment program-CATP-is designed to treat 15 to 17 year olds who are drug abusers , the neglected , the status offender , the victims of rape and incest , the alienated and the lost. Empahsis is placed on a positive peer group inter-

action and education . The pro­gram 's goal is to right the adoles­cent with their fami lies as well adjusted young adults who have exchanged their alienat ion and despair for dedication and who are able to cope positively with their environment and their dreams .

Odyssey has treatment fac i­lities and outpatient centers in Louisiana , New Hampsh ire , Michigan , Utah , and New York . Two centers were recently opened in Australia . In Louisiana there are-facilities in Shreveport and New Orleans .

Owens added , "We are only partially founded through federal , state and city grants , we depend on pr ivate contributions ; but permit no street solicitations . Public Section Funding for Odyssey House Louisiana equals 70 percent of the cost for 52 resi­dents per year. Fifty-two people , however, represents less than one percent of the heroin abuses in New Orleans alone . Odyssey House exists to serve all of the

people in Louisiana and w i ll not turn away anyone seriously wishing admission to the program .

Upon completion of the treat­ment program , graduate candi­dates must have a High School Diploma equivalency cert ificate , a drivers license, and approval of a personal five year plan covering education employment.

The staff is a balance of both professional and odyssey trained ex-addict graduates . Owens said , " No one is refused induction­there is always room for one more ."

"The function of Odyssey House is not to · cure nationwide drug abuse or attack the social conditions that cause the disease , but rather to serve as a pilot project which solves problems , proves that solutions are possible , teaches others and then move on ; a kind of think tank in human behavior ," accor­ding to Judianne Wensen­Gerber, J.D. , M .D. , FCLM , and founder of Odyssey House.

Neal Cowen, who graduated from CS last year, was often seen around shooting pictures for the Log. He now attends LSUS and plans on making photography his career.

Ex-student returns with camera instead of books

by Lisa Rothell Even though Neal Cowen

graduated from Captain Shreve last year , he still spends a great deal of time at the school. But this year Neal isn ' t carrying around books and studying for tests. Instead he is carrying a camera and earning a living as a photographer for Cowen Studio and the CS Log . ·

How did Neal get into this business? "Well , " explains Neal , " my father owns Cowen 's Studio so I grew up learning how to take pictures . I ' ve never taken any photography classes . My father taught me everything I know."

Neal said that for the past four years he has been working for his father at their studio and has been working on his own for the

past year and a half. Besides taking pictures for the yearbook, Neal photographs parties , school functions , weddings , reunions , and anniversaries. " I really enjoy doing this. I'm around all kinds of people and age groups , " said Neal.

Neal said that he wil probably make a career out of photography and take over the studio when his father retires He has also been taking a couple of courses in business at LSUS but said he probably won't get a degree in it.

Although Neal enjoys his work , he said that he would also like to explore different sources of income. " I d like to make some extra money , I guess , like every­one else ," explains Neal .

CS teacher married to Patriots' receiver

by Lisa Rothell When asked what it was like

being married to a pro football player , Janice Pennywell , wife of Carlos Pennywell , laughed and said , "Well , I 've never been married before but I guess it 's like being married to anybody else."

Mrs . Pennywell who recently returned to Shreveport to do her student teaching said that she really likes Shreve. " Everyone is so friendly. I 've always wanted to teach and 1 hope to be a substi­tute teacher next year . "

Since her husband , Carlos , plays wide receiver for the Patriots. the Pennywells must live in Boston six months out of the year. Mrs . Pennywell said that while Carlos is practicing she goes shopping and visits

friends . She also likes to sew , cook , and dance , When asked if she travels a lot w ith her hus­band , she said that she does not go to a lot of out of town games but goes to all the home games and watches the others on T.V.

Are pro football players as wild as the movie " North Dallas Forty " makes them out to be? According to Mrs . Pennywell they are not. "I 've met some of the players and they seem to be very nice . All the drug taking and wild partying isn't true , " explains Mrs. Pennywell.

In the future , Mrs. Pennywell says she would like to have four children , two boys and two girls, and keep on teaching. "I love teaching and will keep on even after I have child rer>," says Mrs. Pennywell.

ANGEL

by Randy Carrier

On the new live release by heavy metal rockers Angel entitled Live Without A Net , the true spirit of the band has finally been revealed. Unlike most of their studio albums , in which poor production and low volume terribly muffled their music , Live Without A Net states once and for all that Angel is, in fact, a prominent rock and roll band . On such tunes as " Rock and Rollers" and "White Lightning ", hard rocking tunes in which guitarist Punky Meadow and drummer Barry Brandt get to show off with their respective instruments , the fine production of the disc is apparent.

Play work not easy by Joy Gray

At a recent play rehearsal for "Johnny Belinda ", I got to see what goes on while making a play. When I first got there , Miss McKellar was talking to the cast and set crew. After she was f inished , everyone went to their

Lamar Pugh seems to be "tied up" with the rehearsals of the drama department's play entitled "Johnny Belinda" which will run March 4-6.

positions , the houselights were lowered, and the play rehearsal began . Throughout the rehearsal there were many stops and starts , but the play was definitely taking form .

Working on a play isn't just memorizing lines and getting a set together-a whole lot of time and work go into the product ion outside of rehearsals . For the play "Johnny Belinda ", a lot of extra research was done for the making of the costumes and building of the set. Since "Johnny Belinda" is about a deaf girl , sign language had to be researched and learned .

Perfecton is the key as far as McKellar is concerned. And repetition is what brings about perfection . The cast members went over and over and over their lines and movements. McKellar was there to coach them through it all .

Things were going on in other areas of the auditorium also . For example, one unfortunate person was walking around with blocks of wood tied to the bottom of his shoes . After asking a few ques­tions , I found out that this was McKellar 's way of having him stop his swaying while talking on stage . Also , another cast mem­ber was holding a hammer in each hand . Just another one of McKellar 's remedies to make him aware of his hands .

For the upcomin g play , "Johnny Belinda ", the assistant d irectors are Sybil Badugu , Scott Green , Debbie Davis , Natal ie Nichols , and Lisa Goodman . Technical director is Lamar Pugh who also designed the set. Rachal Wilcox is stage manager, while Linda Lyons is assistant stage manager. Bobby Badugu , Mark Dav is , and Wade Lyons are responsible for the l ights , and Holly Crowder designed · the costumes.

UFO

by Randy Carrier With the release of No Place to

Run , the new UFO album , UFO finally proves that they are a well organized , independent band . It was questionable whether or not UFO could carry on their hard rock style ·without guitarist Michael Schenker who was definitely a main element in their music . Paul Chapman , had in the past filled in for Schenker during his untimely disappearance and also acted as second guitarist with Schenker during the Force It tour .

On No Place To Run Chapman shows out with class , filling Schenker 's shoes to the brim . Chapman even displays much the same style as his prede­cessor .

HEART

by Mark Wendt Despite the growing popularity

of Blondie and Jefferson Star­ship , Heart still holds its spot as the only major woman rock group to maintain superstardom today .

In an industry where the least common denominator rules , it is hard for a big group I ike Heart to change their formula . If one listens carefully , it is noticeable that the same chord progressions that made them famous often invades their newer songs. But it is covered up well and the tunes are not the same , just a little similar in style .

The former lead guitarists (Roger Fisher) absence is not explained but it need not be for by just listening to the album one would never tell the difference.

UFO f irst form ed in 1968, with Ph i l Mogg as vocalist, only ei ghteen years old at the ti me, bassist Pete Way, drummer Andy Parker and guitarist 1\tlick Bolten . fh their first six months , they chanced upon a recording contract and released UFO I , an album that immediately took them off the club circuits and into massive stadiums in Germany and Japan.

During one such tour of Germany , when UFO was to open for the Scorpions , guitarist Mick Bolten didn ' t make it through customs and soon after quit the band . Also UFO 's manager didn ' t make it through customs and thus UFO was stuck in Germany with no guitarist and no equipment.

Regardless , the concert went on , with UFO using the Scorpion equipment and borrowing their lead guitarist named Michael Schenker . After playing with UFO that night , Schenker quit the Scorpions and joined UFO.

What followed was extensive touring and the release of Phenonmenon , the first of six albums in which Schenker parti­cipated in .

Movie R-eviews

Early in 1976, at the eve of the Lights Out , (their fourth album) tour , Schenker dissappeared . Guitarist Paul Chapman , for­merly of the English band Lone Star , was brought in as a last minute replacement , Chapman had in the past filled in for Schenker during the Force It (their second album) tour.

abou t a male call person in Beverly Hills. Julian , who drives a black Mercedes 450SL Conver­ti ble, has a rather large cl ientele , which pay him between $1000 to $8000 for his serv ices or showers him with gifts including stereos and expensive designer clothes .

Julian trys to keep involved with all his clients until he meets a beautiful politician 's wife named Michele , who he falls in love with.

Everything seems to be going great until Julian is framed in the murder of a rich Palm Springs woman and has no alibi. From then on Julian's life goes down hill. He seems doomed until Michele comes to his rescue.

Starring Richard Gere and Lauren Hutton .

Later in the tour Schenker reappeared and continued with the band . After this tour , UFO returned to the studio to record the album , Obsession .

After the release of their following live album , Stranger in the Night , Schenker quit the band . This album futhered the popularity of the band and established them as a dominant hard rock band .

Again Paul Chapman was 'recruited as lead guitarist only this time as a full fledged member and not just a replace­ment . What followed was their release of UFO's most recent album entitled , No Place to Run. On this album , UFO still follows their hard rock style except with an added tinge of Chapman's Lone Star impressions. The future looks bright for UFO , and with the addition of Chapman as a member , good days seem to be ahead .

OlYmpic boycoH hurts U. S.

by Nancy Futrell The original Olympic Games

were founded in 776 B .C. and lasted for more than a thousand years until 261 A.D . It is no won­der they seemed virtually a per­manent part of the Mediter­ranean world: part religious fes­tivity , part athletic competition , part social ceremony , and part politics. But have the Olympics today become too much politics? In the recent controversy invol­ving the Olympic Games , the United States decided to boycott the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games. But who is this really hurting? It doesn't have any effect on the higher authorities who make the decisions in Russia. And what about the Russian athletes (practically pro­fessionals)? Our withdrawal is giving them a better chance for the medals . More importantly, what about our athletes?

Many American athletes have spent most of their lives training for that one moment when they can stand with an Olympic medal hanging from their neck and watch the American flag being raised and hear our national anthem played.

President Carter is trying · to combine politics with competitive spirit , two ideals that should be kept separate. About fifty per­cent of the Olympic teams are government sponsored . These countries have the right to pull their Olympic athletes out of the 1980 games , however , the U .S. team is not government spon­sored , therefore I feel that the final decision of boycotting the Moscow Olympics should be left up to the athletes themselves.

Gators strived for excellence, team pride, school spirit , and competitive attitude. So look out next year here we come!"

Track s.eason gets underway by Bob Brown

" Mainly the lack of talent will hurt us a great deal this year , especially in sprints ," said Martin Poole , new coach of the Captain Shreve track team .

With ineligible players such as Curt is Grappe and Barry Smith and other fine athletes who had graduated last year , Coach Poole does not really know what to expect this year because of these losses and the fact he is brand new in coaching at Shreve . How­ever , Coach Poole does know the athletes that will be on Shreve's track team. In the field events , Vincent M"cDay is exceptionally promising in the long jump and Dennis Esther in the triple jump. Danny Holmes is a prospect in the shotput and Peter Adams is a possiblity for the discus . In the pole vault , Rod Spence has potential and junior David Risinger will throw the javelin for his first time ever.

Running is where Shreve hurts the most, especially in sprints.

Some of the sprinters for Shreve this year in track are Clifford King, Pearison White, qnd Charles Brock . Two hopefuls in the quarter mile run that are in the bes.t shape are Chester Alexander and Michael Williams. There are a good num­ber of people out for the 880 and long distance runs, but the most promising to Coach Poole is Danny Talley .

Even though Coach Poole is unsure about this year, he stated , "We ' re not as strong as the 1-AAAA district , but we stand a good chance in the 2-AAAA district , but we will mainly compete against 1-AAAA teams. "

Whether Captain Shreve is ready or not , the track season starts with a practice meet on Feb. 23. The first meet will be on March 1 at Booker T. Washing­ton High School. After this meet, th remaining meets will be held at Caddo Parish Stadium once a week.

Tennis Coach Lee Hedges practices his tennis during sixth period with a member of the tennis team.

I met a shocking man of fortune once, ···~~~~;dWayne Ill Hall

His eyes were mirrors, his eyes dark and shaded. Time had no meaning and deadly was his smile. Peace words filled the air , and he was the dissident.

But the people wouldn't let him flow by, They pushed him and pushed him , and said, "Hey man, what's your game, don't you know of the darkened light of now?" And laughed at his hair.

And they cursed this fortuneer , and called him "hippie" Although the word was useless and unseen in the l.ight of day. But no hateful sound was returned, and he merely Tried to walk away , with unharded scales .

And the police of death jumped him and beat him and hung him to die before a jury . They smile and gave him a death wish. "Vietnam," their only word .

Hair sheered , spirit imprisoned by the khaki uniform. They sent him out into tomorrow with a one way ticket , and a gun in his hand .

But he never fired , he only saw and dodged. And never did he cry out, forever bearing his burden Likeacrossof burning lead. Until it drove him down , and pressed fear and hate into his face, and laughed.

The gun blazed , and death was his companion in Crime. Together they were unstoppable , and feared. With wings of fire, the sky birds skimmed The jungle and he stared at them with wonder. Memory of mere void, head full of lies, They took him off into the sky . And they said with smiling plastic , "You're going home now, hippie . We hope you enjoyed Your little jaunt in the jungle, but now you're through and free . By the way, forget our words and cut off your finger ."

Home. A place in space on earth , with substance. Here the fortuneer now stood, words unforgotten, finger intact. A man wiht new memory of life, flowing as a River to flood the darkened soul. Waiting with eyes turned to the skies, for The skybird to take him home to places undreamed Of. The homeland of his childhood , the galaxy of fire.

Knowledge of the promise, the keys to the kingdom of safety in numbers. And the ships from the heavens came , as promised , To save him from extinction on earth. No one saw him leave , nor did they care. The war was still going on, and Wallace was running For President , and my , the boy's hair is certainly Getting long.

His voyage was completing, his duty done. The shaded mirrors finally came off to Give him sweet darkness in the night or day.

Near Death Accident by Tim Pitts

The sun was slowly being swallowed up by the evening as John drove home. He watched the colors flaring out from red to pink , purple and the spreading out into the darkness .

Tonight John was not tired , he had a date. Dates excited John.

John arrived home, consumed a piece of blueberry cheese cake, smoked a cigarette, and took a short nap. John lived an absor­bingly interesting life. After his nap , he took his traditional shower with this lavender soap on a rope, shaved his readied face, cut himself, and splashed his face with his favorite after­shave, Pensacola Passion , which stung his wound .

"Wallet, comb , reservation , chapstick," John said aloud as he fixed himself in the mirror. He brushed his hair , smoothed his evebrows and noticed that the hlood from his nick had dried and turned to a dark purple, almost black color. He scraped it off and it fell to the floor.

Gayle, John's date, was clad in a grape colored, backless dress. John had never seen her bare back before and saw that her spine was hidden by rich pillows of fat. This excited John.

"So," said John searchingly he groped for his wine glass, "how have you been?" "I've ... " yes, the inevitable happened. John

toppled h~s Mogan David on Gayle 's dress .

The traditional apologies followed but were not needed for the wine blended perfectly with the color of her dress . But, there was still a nasty wet spot. This excited John.

During their meal, Gayle and John were startled by an annoying beeping sound coming from John's pocket. "Darnit! Somebody 's done had a wreck. Gotta go. pick 'em up. I'm real sorry, Gayle, but ... uh .. . you know how my job is ." Gayle was not terribly upset for now she had two meals to consume.

John jumped into his tow truck and was off .

Two hours later , dirty and bed­raggled, John returned. He returned to his table, he saw the mammoth round leg of Gayle's sticking out of their booth. The constriction of her too small shoe had turned her foot violet colored. This too would have ex­cited John but he was far too tired. Gayle was asleep. John looked at her rubbery face and saw that she was honestly drunk. John swallowed his Certs when he saw that the bill was $116 and he had only brought $35. He then frantically began to search Gayle's purse for money but only found an empty billfold, some cheap perfume , and a cold baked potato she had saved from the

meal. John sat down to think and began to eat the remains of his salad. He was on the verge of tears and he breathed in short breaths. He began to cough. He coughed again, again, harder he coughed, making a hideous grinding noise. He was choking . A waiter screamed, "Help, help! This man, he's, he's choking! He's dying! Oh my God, he's turning purple!" A man ran to John and held him up with his arms wrapped around his chest. He placed his fist below his rib cage and sharply punched, pushing , the lodged piece of purple cabbage out and on the floor. Three days later, John received

a letter. It read :

Dear Mr. Dough, I 'm sure you remember

your little accident in the restaurant that almost killed you . We , at the corporation, are sorry that it did not. You may have noticed, the day of your accident , that you saw many things that were purple. These things were supposed to be black symbolizing death, but since you saw purple you had what we call a N .D.A. (Near Death Accident). You see, our new color coordinator turned out to be just a bit color blind.
