The H as the prom ise been kept? University must not lei Ihi.s neglect continue. Secondly. students who complained were responded to with lots of “legalese” concerning our Reflections on W om en’s Progress judicial procedure (from myself as well as others). While this is, in in the 20th Century principle, an appropriate response, it is weakened by the fact that the system is still in the process of being overhauled and brought into the modem age. Responses to student complaints are not always swift and sure, and rarely public. Thus students mistrust the effectiveness of the system. The A Precentennial Public Lecture by absence of any other response makes the overall responsiveness of the system highly suspect. We must in the interest of justice put clear M o l l y Y a r d procedures in place as quickly as possible and educate everyone in their use. We must respond quickly and with caring concern to students President, National Organization for Women (NOW) involved in conflict and we must vigorously and pro-actively pursue justice on behalf of every student, as we have promised we would.

The dust surrounded him, filling every open crevice of his body. The sand burned his eyes and he choked at the hard dry particles that lodged I themselves under his tongue and in his throat. The voice inside of his head that laughed at his ignorant belief that the legendary fountain truly existed was growing louder. He walked faster in an attempt to escape from the haranguing noise. “It’s a mirage you fool! Give up now and turn back before it’s too late!” The old explorer’s eyes fixed themselves forward and his mouth watered despite the roughness that was gagging him. “It’s the fountain of youth,” he thought to himself. “I have finally found it!” He fell forward at the bank and drank in the rewards of his years of labor. The voice grew louder and more garbled; as if it was choking. “You see what you have done ... you’re eating nothing but sand!” The explorer looked down at his beloved fountain, his tired eyes burning with sand and salty tears; the salt stinging his cheek as it rolled down towards his mouth and the bitter taste mocked his dream. The voice grew distant as did his fountain and his tears. Grabbing at the water, he withdrew a hand full of earth. He watched the wind blow them both away as he laid back and let the warmth of the sun finally engulf him. Throughout all ages man has participated in the ultimate quest for wisdom. It is a vision that leads our senses to the unknown; to experience what others can only dream about. It is this quest that leads us aU to only where the imagination can travel. Eyes that mirror a barren soul and ears that hear only what we want them to, disregarding all else, are not senses but act simply as gatekeepers to an empty world within. A blind man who can see a stranger’s pain or a deaf child who can hear a parent’s cry of joy experience more than those who wait for an action to be taken instead of taking action. Many people like to create a sixth sense; some call it perception, others call it intuition. The ability to create Camelot out of confusion is due to our capacity for imagination. Imagination is the true sixth sense that allows us to enjoy what may not be enjoyable and bear what may not always be bearable.

Am I another Byron, who hurls down in despair, to shriek in ecstasy in the next hour? Is my mood that of wind and air, so changeable, intangible, and capricious as pond mist that drifts each night? I could tell you how one day the sky would shimmer blue upon my tingling skin; another day that same heaven becomes my hell, and the sun leers with the crisp, hard sky.

You’ll feel my skin move but you will see You’ll come with ease or be ripped apart. it’s only the maggots feasting on me.

But transfixed were they Darkness and clouds only only each other. Invaded blue skies How two hearts could beat as one A river of tears was not the question, but the answer. Ran down from my eyes Love seemed so simple then, I tried hard to smile but then, mystery was the enhancer. We were young and in love, But there was no disguise joined at the heart. You stood in my doorway Then something went wrong, Telling bittersweet lies our world fell apart. Making each passing day We found the meaning of love, A fading sunrise its joy had its pain. And then you walked out We found that question to that answer and we lost to its gain. As we wave Time has taken its toll our goodbyes my days of sorrow, forgotten history. Closing a chapter Because I learned the meaning of love, In both of our lives 1 lost the value of mystery. 16 Abstract No. 37 Michael Tirenin 17 by M ichael Tirenin Seeing with open eyes wide Abstract stares baci< Closing of one eye tight Abstract laughs Squinting through tears clouded Abstract squirms Blinking with eyelids rapid Abstract confuses Shutting off light to both eyes com plete Abstract loses all interest Remembering on eyescreens closed Abstract reveals itself Seeing once more with open eyes wide A b s tra c t 18 T h r e e C a t s Jk W i n d o w s i l l three cats on the windowsill rested by the early morning light one black as night one w hite as snow by and one with dim-colored hair all toms, the three of them their eyes move as I move in their speechless, liquid contemplation two orange as the setting sim two green as emeralds two blue as the winter sky the roimded mirrors of thought and cunning th re e m en walking down the street one brow n one pale one in between their feet strike the earth »«#*!!* their strong hatmches ripple poetry and m y eyes follow th em 4* and the three cats on the windowsill growl and purr V-”- they have those soft, httle smiles they know what I’m thinking. xss*^.

Ford, Jr. After all the time I’ve known you I thought I recognized your true personality; beautiful and caring. But I guess I was just looking at your mirrored image. I caught glimpses of your true self — that camouflaged inner sanctum that you hid from me so well. And now that you’re finally revealed to me, I find that I’m free of caring for you anymore; the bond that once held us together has broken and once again I am happy. At one time you were that main object in my life, but your deceivement has shattered that image forever. Tell me... was it really worth it? I’ll leave you wondering what could have become of us instead of staying with you and making those thoughts visible. Take care — and remember, for the next person that comes along that seems touched by your personality, be sure and tell them that it’s just your mirrored image they’re looking at. For all mirrors reflect opposites — your reflection was beautiful. 26 27 o f by D avid S.

I've hit solid ground On the ocean floor Found another illusion for I knew in advance, I had felt it before. The music returns in the sound of a bell. Chiming under the waves.

Everyw here, in every land. I am not a theif, nor som eone bad. I relieve the soul of its m isery; is not glad? I don not dam n to hell or send to heaven not ME. I m erely release the soul from its cabinet and set it free. People think m e bad— w ith the pain of death, a c r y . w ith sorrow, and even w ith the fear of night. I do not judge ---- it is you, your life, your actions, set against w rong and right. Tim e has all the m ight. A nd I do stop at the light. The job is m ine, I did not w ant it. I have a quota, but I rarely m eet it. I try to explain, to those w ho w ill listen, w hy I am I, and w hy m y eyes glisten. I do not harm , I m erely release. I give the struggling soul, peace. I save the soul, the true person in each of you. From m e, you have no fear. This m uch is true. The final answ er, good or bad, is up to you. 35 Untitled, October 1990 Benjamin Cohen 36 L O S T & z F O U N D David S. Wilson The artist creating images of pain; She tries so hard to express herself. She's desperate to be seen. The writer telling tales of love; Wishing he could live his works. Wishing to be read by another. A composer turning himself into music; His aloneness echoes in the concert hall. He's hoping to be hear. lonely & afraid, lost in this world, needing to hold each other, to remain apart is just a waste, a life unshared has no taste. Each word I write is an urgent plea; I'm yearning to know another soul. Waiting to be understood. then, the door is opened, the music is finally heard, the pain is soothed, despite our dreams of greatness. Despite our pride. To be read and held by another. Is all that matters in our lives. It's such a joy to be heard at last. So good to touch another. My words of wanting reflect in her eyes. My aloneness echoes no more. 37 W i n n i n g lsn*t Everythinse Judith Eisenberse World collide, nations die but nobody sees ’cause it’s all in my mind. Children’s cries, cities that shake stay with me even when I’m awake. They’ve locked me up, they think I’m crazy but can’t they see that thee room’s all hazy? Of bombs exploding, of people dying, In the dead of night I wake up crying. It must be hard for you to imagine what it’s like to die in the fashion that I did. Who am I to talk since the carnage I spoke of was really my fault? Fighting in fields and villages we have seen the truth, that in a war no one ever lives “happily ever after.” Even the children are incapable of laughter. But I did my part, I bombed the village, I followed my friends and went down to pillage. I was the best in my troop and did my job well as th e newly orphaned babies could tell. On our arrival, nothing moved within the town except for the injured crawling along the ground. We searched for survivors and as the daylight grew dim I foxmd a man whose eyes burned like the fires arotmd him. He looked at me and as the fires died the eyes stayed open. On the flight home I kept hoping and hoping that I could go back to being the man I was before. But as the bolt slides shut on the padded door, I wonder why they still call me a hero of the war. 38 39 AM exe-RAJOTy CHAV W A M L S D kave no j-eel foy^ t i m e A s J w a i t foy^ y o u . y\K\ Kou^* seem s like a day 7 ^ day like a week 7^ w e e k ----- a n efe^*r\i■^y CJ +o pusK +ke sarvd +k^*ou0 k fke koui^ 0 l a s s 3u+ time seem s to kave a p ace of its owrv D tell m ysel ■ to kave patie^Ace 3 u t J7 k a v e «ao corvtt^ol 7\)o peace witkout you D skake tke kou»^0 l a s s 3 u t K\ot too ka>^d Poi^ |eaK^ D w ould bp^eak it. y\»ad tke gm ins oj- time X kat a»^e ou^*s — togetkep' T k a t cxy^e. moj^e pk*ecious tkarv li|e itselj- W o u l d slip tk^*ou0k tke c»^acks iia t k e flloo^v 7 ^K\d be lost foK^ever. etep * n ity . 4 0 ------—------ A C e r t a i n S o m e o n e Stacy Lipman Y ou ARE IN MY THOUGHTS OFTEN, SOMETIMES TOO OFTEN.

I look through old photographs hoping to find all that tim e I w asted in m y youth; but it's no use. M y children have their own children and I'm lucky to g et a phone call every now and then. I've been so lonely since by husband's death last year. All m y friends are either dead or they've been placed in hom es. I go to visit once a w eek but it breaks m y heart to see them like that. I look at those brittle bodies and withered m inds and I try to see them as they were: the handsom e athlete who could never be beaten — now needs a nurse to feed him. My best friend since nursery school, who was always there for m e now doesn't rem em ber who I am. I am constantly aware that m y tim e is quickly running out. I think of all the tim e I w asted and w onder where are all these priceless m om ents are hiding now when I need them the m ost? m m 45 The P a in E ric Zander s t o p . D o n ' t .

It had no purpose; touching down on a whim. Life had faded, Love was so dim. Then cam an angel with eyes that brighten the night. A tough so smooth, that calms all fright. A kiss and a whisper were all that were needed to calm the storm; Halt as she heeded. The whirlwind stopped. It played a new role. Through Our Love, I had become whole. 47 Eternal Chain Judith Eisenberg Mon wonts to be remembered throughout the ages. He seeks immortality in his monuments but in time they too will fall. Only memories can survive eternity. I know that as long as someone remembers me I can never truly die. I will be leaving this place soon. As I look back one last time, I wonder what kind of memories I will be leaving behind and if I have entrusted them to worthy keepers? Each person I meet and everything I touch canies a small part of me in their minds and in their making. Each piece a small link in a chain spanning eternity. Who says I can't live forever?
