GREG HOWARD
Everyone, at one time or another,
dreams of the perfect date with the
perfect person. Public figures are
often the target of these dreamy
thoughts. For instance. Freshman David
Love dreams of the perfect date with
actress Heather Locklear.
After a day of skiing In Switzerland,
David and Heather spend a quiet evening
alone in a Swiss chalet. They have a
nice big fire going and they cook
themselves a gourmet dinner including
lobster and Alaskan King Crab legs.'
"After dinner, we spend the night
talking by the fire about ethics,
religion, and aerobic techniques," Love
said.
Guys aren't the only ones who escape
into a dream dating world once in a
while. Junior Alice Harding's date with
Emilio Estevez begins as they fly to
New York City and dine at Tavern on the
Green. After dinner, the two lovebirds
jet down to Naples, Florida and walk on
the beach under a full moon, Alice and
Emilio pass the time by Just talking and
getting to know each other. Then they
go to his father's, Martin Sheen, house
and sleep for a couple of hours (in
seperate bedrooms, of course). Emilio
will get up and make Alice breakfast
and serve it to her in'bed. "We spend
the rest of the day sailing," she
concluded.
Freshman Mike Beaver will have a
busy evening on his date with actress
Susan Synder (Night of the Living Dead
Part II). Mike,and Susan will take a
private jet and "hop .over to Paris,
France for dihner (somewhere not too
fancy). After dinner they will fly to
Chicago to catch Michael Jordon in a
NBA game (Bulls.-and Hawks). After the
game, they will jet over to London,
England for a late night shack at the
Hard Rock'Cafe, Mike reflected on the
date by saying, "It'll be a very epensive
evening." (This comes from a guy that
had two dates to the Senior Prom!)
Freshmen roommates Susan Groves .

evening thinking about their dream
dates, Susan wants to go out with
singer/songwriter James Taylor. "I
just want to listen to him play and sing
all night long," she added, Her
roommate Melissa spends her dreams on
a date with actor Tom Cruise.
Some dream dates of students at
M-AC hit a little closer to home,
however. Sophomore Derek Helton
spends his dream date in Hawaii with
(who else, but) sophomore Sonya Mills.

Wintertime Blues
ALICE HARDING
Wintertime can be the most
depressing season. The roads are to
slick to drive on, the sky is so gray, and
there is no life in the trees. Often this
dampers one's outlook on the season and
on life in general.
Well, there is hope! There is pretty
white snow on the ground that can be
fun to play in • and throw at your
boyfriend or your, girlfriend, I know,
you say you hate to get wet and cold, so
don't. Instead, stay inside with a good
book and a large mug of hot chocolate.
Play games with your friends, like
Trivial Pursuit, Scruples, or Pictionary,
or study and "get ahead".
There is no need to lose hope when
Winter creeps in, So, maybe there Isn't
a whole lot one can do outside of
Montreat— so enjoy what you have.
Actually, wjnter is beautiful and there
are days when the roads aren't all bad
and one can get out of the gates, I urge
you to take in the beauty of the season
though, and thank God for ft. Attitudes
can make a difference, and I mean good
, attitudes. Keep yourself busy and don't
stay alone for long periods of time, this
.may also help.
Just remember this season only
comes once a year and is not that long
either. In fact, in about one and a half
months we'll leave for Spring Break—
doesn't that encourage you? Hang in
there!
Measure for Measure
NANCY NICHOLS
I cannot hear
My heart is still
They cry in pain
I shoot to kill
My firey arrows
One by one
Hit the mark
Missed by none
The wounds are deep
But no one sees
The scars behind
The hurt it leaves.
The pain they cry
Is aimed at me
But I'm so quick
I just don't see:.,.
That they are hurting
Just like me.

Hello World
Hello out there, world;
It's me in here
Can't you see me?
What? You're having trouble hearing
me?
But I'm in here.
Yes, that's right.
Inside-Where?
Inside myself of course.
This outside shell is very thick;
I’m having trouble getting out.
Who am I? You say I don’t sound like
myself.
That's because you never heard me.
This other guy? Oh, he's the shell
I told you about.
You say that's me?
No, I'm inhere;
He's just my protection.
Protection from what?
From you, the world,
I can't be hurt here.
You see, my shell keeps you away.
You, the world, are pain.
I’m safe in here;
I will never be laughed at.
The shell, oh, he doesn’t mind laughter,
Come to think of it,
I'm comiortable in here.
Why should I leave?
Hello, world, still listening?
What's that world?
I thought for a minute you said
something.
It was a faint voice;
It sounded; human, real, I thought.
I thought is was answering me.
Maybe not,
1 can’t hear to well inside this shell.
Well, I feel funny, sleepy,
And it's so comfortable in here world.
