Need Extra New Year 's Resolutions? BY STAFF WIITER For all students of the Caro lina campus, here are a few reso lutions for the New Year. Hope they are "helpful." RESOLVED: 1. I will not sleep in class . . . especially if sitting on the front row; and then, not over 35 mir.utes. 2. I will prepare all assignments in advance, not waiting till the last minute. (W h i c h, translated, means: at least five minutes be fore class.) 3. I will attend class regularly, not taking over four cuts. (Un less I can get the other seven excused somehow.) 4. I will pay attention to the professor. (Most of the time . -. . at least, when I'm not busy doing something else.) 5. I will cut down on partying. (Not more than six nights a week, unless there is an extra special occasion. And not more than one "blast" a night, either.) These are just a few typical resolutions to help you improve your life on campus and in class. There are undoubtedly many more; just stop and think of them.

Other Reduced 20% jTIES BRIn For The Love of Her Jousting A BY JUDY KILLOUGH Staff Writer Once in the times of knights and chivalry and such rot, there lived a man. And he-was called Arnold. Now, Arnold didn't go for the jousting business. He didn't be lieve in it. Arnold's wife H e r m i o n e thought Arnold was a piker. But she couldn't say h e r mother hadn't warned her. "Hermione", she had said, "Arnold doesn't believe in jousting. Arnold is a piker." Hermione Wails "But", H e r m i o n e wailed, "piker he may be, Ma, but he's the best I can get. In fact, he's the only one I can get." So they got married, etc. They lived in comparative bliss for several years. And then (here's where you're supposed to sit on the edge of your seat with suspense), a fly entered the ointment. This fly was in the form of a young knight-aspirant niamed George. George Comes George came riding into town on his white palfrey (don't ask me what a palfrey is, all 1 know is that knights always come rid ing in on a white one). Now, George was of the opin ion that he had to joust with someone b e f o r e becoming a knight. This opinion was rather widespread at that time. But George was chicken. He didn't wish to joust with any of the renouned (I know it's mis spelled) knights of the realm. He had heard of Arnold's dislike of jousting. Cagily, he figured that r Clearance L E Wearing Apparel SPORT COATS ".ere 88 27.50 W"r $3488 45.00 Were S4 88 Trousers ".e $7 88 12.951 BELTS 'ure Silks O nd Challis "TONS Well, riting a and story. Wha/s it livin about? bee All I mione fade Easy. if Arnold didn't believe in the sport, he naturally wouldn't know too much about it. He decided that Arnold was Joust (ouch!) the one to challenge. Not So Simple However, it wasn't as simple as all that. George tried to think of grounds to challenge Arnold. But, not being very bright, he didn't have much luck. He finally went to an old gypsy who lived in an old tent outside the old town. "Tell Arnold that you are in love with his wife and that you will do battle with him for her", advised the all-knowing one. "Eureka!", shouted George. Why? "But why should anyone love Hermione?", pu7zled Arnold (to himself, of course). He had only married her for her money. Arnold tried to make a deal with Geotge. He said, "George, old boy, you just let me keep her money, and you can have Hfermione for all time." But George argued that this would not be honorable. Joust they must. Arnold Decides So Arnold thought, "What the CENSORED (CENSORED being an old English cuss-word), I'll joust. This kid dioesn't know which way is up." The appointed jousting d a y came, as all such days must. The sun shone down brightly, making the inside of the regulation steel suits rather uncomfortable. Arn old rode grandly onto the field of battle, Hermione's g a r t e r around the hilt of his lance. Hermione stood on the sidelines, holding her stocking up. after yi Anywhere you look-in engi p)rofessional areas-the answ is progres~s.

I knew all along that you weren't a piker!" But Arnold said, "Don't be ridiculous, Hermione, he cut his finger on his armor ahd fainted ,at the sight of blood." So they loaded George, chain mail and all, onto his palfrey and sent him home to his mother, who said, "George, I told you you couldn't be a knight until you are at least thirteen. Here's a band-aid for your finger." Home Again, Home Again Hermione and Arnold w e n t home. For the rest of his hen-pecked life Arnold mourned to himself, "Why did he have to faint?
