Continued from page two the private bosom of modern convenience. Let any Unity hide in the woods where some poet can use its huge, dirty shaggi ness for his beautiful symbols in books or in paintings. So the weekend workshops serve as private shrines, keys to our condition: how to deal with the loneliness I find within myself and others when we keep our eyes and embarras singly inadequate words aver ted. As the windows to our souls, our blinds fall discretely, protecting us. Are we ashamed of the nakedness and sickliness we're afraid is inside? Everything seems like sloppy camouflage covering these fearful founda tions these days, reflected in flickering eyes. Eleanor Rigby, what has be come of us?

Have we lost all our strength to hold onto any solid belief we could reach from with pride? No, there's still lots of power in the fortitude behind the nervous eyes, within the dark corners we in private businesses; and (4) political campaign and legisla tive staff positions. The Program at UNC-C pro vides a foundation in the major substantive areas of public af fairs: policy-making and policy analysis, administration, man agement, and organizational behavior, quantitative analysis and evaluation, and the poli tical context of public adminis tration. Beyond these areas, students can develop a variety of specialized programs from courses in Political Science and up to nine hours in other departments and schools in the University. The Masters of Public Affairs degree requires 36 semester hours. Students with no work experience in public agencies take an additional internship all seem banished to stand in. Nothing but question-marked pupils with nothing to hold to and no faith that risking the reaching will ever find meta phors to create Understanding. Is it just my own blindness, or my faith in some childhood misconception of real communi cation? In 1850, Matthew Arnold descrbed my sad vision: Yes! in the sea of life enisled, With echoing straits between us thrown, Dotting the shoreless watery wild, We mortal millions live alone. Maybe we need new words to float in between the separate islands, to fit the needs or perhaps realize/discover them. We're so shy and impotent, even behind the sociable lust. We seem like hard working embryos, living in thick silence, afraid for our tenderness, soft spined with huge helpless eyes staring into the darkness. What do we have to stand on if we dare to straighten our backbones and look at reality? Hawthorne's bold Hester Prynne found her American reality as she straightened on the scaffold under the glare of Guilfordian By Beth Eakes Blue caps, commonly seen in the dining hall, walking across campus £nd occasionally in the library, this is the trademark of Epsilon. The members term their organization a "social club". Open to any member of English dorm, Epsilon secures all of its funding from club members. The concept of Epsilon was first thought of by English dorm president and Senator Jeff Dale and Todd Breneman. They re alized the need for an organiza tion which would bring the men of English into closer social contact, providing members with a sense of belonging. Although the name is Creek, Epsilon is not a fraternity.

The Program pro vides professional tranining de-/ signed both to meet current demands in public sector posi tions and also to provide the foundation for long-term deve lopment and advancement in a public service career.

She found strength in herself. Is there nothing to believe in but isolated suffering? What do my friends grasp for in the darkness between us on week ends, pride in the drugs we ingest by the fifth or the ounze or the book or the session? Is there no medium for sharing, imparting, partaking or celebra ting a common universal Some thing? Who offers communica tion for us besides Webster? Emerson speaks from "Exper ience":' In liberated moments, we know that a new picture of life and duty is already possible; the elements already exist in many minds around you, of a doctrine of life which shall transcend any written record we have. The new statement will comprise the skepticisms, as well as the faiths of society, and out of unbelief a creed shall be formed. I can't keep affording the workshops to enlighten the distance that deepens the si lence. You know what I mean? Steve Kaplan disallowed at Guilford College because these types of organi zations might breed exclusive ness. The idea opposes the Quaker philosophy of equality, At Guilford students have the freedom to form their own associations. These relation ships often develop in sports, Union committees, and classes. But most often friendships on this campus occur in the resi dence halls. For English dorm, fifteen of its residents have chosen to call themselves Epsilon. English it self is isolated, for too long it has had the image of being quiet, reclusive and boring.
