I
■niursday past explains it
self (being Life) repeatedly to
those both there and not, IF;
as Gentile, courtesy Tauber,
said, “What becomes never
is.” This week we return with
the Lazarus Lance to
besmudge the mortician’s
paste we all dabble about, the
chalkiness of any color we
smear on our own faces, that
glaze of the eye which is no
one’s fault. Keep the baby.
Faith, and throw out the batii,
without leaving the shower
mute. Just count the
disciplines here engagable,
the breaths of Sense breathing
well; but don’t discount the
Sistine Yahweh dragged out in
Adam clothing, Evenings’ at
tire. Let those among you ...
M.S.
Editorially, we’ve been
relieved to note at least the
few Question Airs which in
dicated, including enjoyment,
an immediate recognition of
the comprehensiveness
behind the surface you saw at
the Cafeteria windows. These
people will not be fooled by
tret’s Make A Deal, the WSOC
Update, or Saturday Night
and will probably be able to
form much of their own lives.
And, if you consider that in
formation is power, you might
think of what we could have
done or might now be able to
do.

Wed. Nite
While a friend types an
assignment I did-1 sneak off
to a “meeting.” Outside, in
back of the cafeteria, I find
six people on the balcony. All
of them are wearing white
make-up on there faces,
which looks especially eerie
against the black night. All
are dressed up in costumes,
some costumes have nothing
to do with pthers. One is in a
black tux with a top hat (T
shirt under the jacket.)
Another is wearing a long
black gown trimmed in lace,
and a gaudy red hat. One in a
long white halter dress, black
cape and hat. There is one
wearing a short black skirt
and white blouse, hat, sun
glasses and boots. Another in
a long black dress and a stole
of pink and white bows and a
pink hat. Still another, this
one’s a weird one with a
beard and in white tights a
gaudy blouse with a pink
feathered collar. As I watch,
they climb to the ground on a
ladder! The first one starts
prancing around and suggests
that I do a strip tease! I just
smile sweetly (in my usual
way) and she goes on with her
prancing. The others ignore
me when they hit the ground,
they just go on dancing, pran
cing, jumping,hollering,tUc. I
watch them disappear to the
side of the building, and then
appear on the balcony and
climb down again and again.
Each time, the top hat man
looks very dazed, until
another dances with him. The
bearded man keeps running
around like hell, picks up one
of the girls, and again runs
around like hell! Also, there is
this old-fashioned music
playing. I watch and I listen
for about an hour, and once
one of the “characters” asks
my advice about what type of
movements they should
make. When they feel con
fident on the ladder, they
decide to call it a night. I get
a pepsi out of the machine,
and go back to my room. My
friend is still tj^)ing away. .
.another evening at St. An
drews.
THE LANCE
A special thanks for this issue of the Lance we’d like to give
to John Patton and the regular staffers who were only too hap
py to let us do their work and to the SAS Program which so
generously helped us buy off the media.

The Gift of Metamorphosis
Picasso was talking about the famous saddle and the famous
bicycle handlebars which he joined together to make a bull’s
head.
He said: ‘One day I take the saddle and the handlebars, I put
them one on top of the other, and I make a bull’s head. All well
and good. But what I should have done straight after was to
throw away the bull’s head. Throw it into the street, into the.
gutter, anywhere, but throw it away. Then a workman comes
along. He picks it up. He thinks that with this bull’s head he
could perhaps make a saddle and a set of bicycle handlebars.
And he does it...That would have been magnificent. It is the gift
of metamorphosis.’ (Picasso Says, Helene Parmelin AS
Barnes and Co., Inc., N.J., 1969.)
Interview-Before
Suzanne
I’m going to ask Suzanne a
question just to open up the
day for us. It’s not a very
clear day like it was yester
day. It’s sort of hazy. WeU,
we’ll just get her opinion on it.
What do you think about the
day so far?
I think it sucks.
Well, compare it to yester
day, let’s say.
It’s not as bad as yesterday.
Okay, but as far as, just,
normal . . . it’s a normal day
for depression, right?
Yeah, it’s real good for
depression. It’s real heavy, all
around. Just depressing.
««««««
I’m not used to in
terviewing, so sometimes I
stick it up to my mouth when
it’s supposed to be going up to
your mouth . . . like that . . .
so how long have you been at
lunch?
Since 12:05
So, did you see the event?
Yes, I certainly did.
Did you enjoy it?
I certainly did.
Did you stand up and block
the view of the girl that I just
talked with that missed the
thing?
What girl are you referring
to?
This girl over there that’s
walking, with the light green
dress.
I don’t have any idea.
Did you stand up against
the window?
No, I stood right here bet
ween these two tables.
So you weren’t in her way.
That’s good. What did you
think?
I just thought it was really
great. First of aU, I guess my
immediate reaction was that I
thought it was a theater . . .
theater people acting again,
but then I thought it was some
kind of a St. Patrick’s Day
celebration, and since
Preston Richardon, who is the
man in the white, had that
ladder in my suite all week, I
finally put two and two
together and realized this was
his senior presentation or
something.
I see.
Earl
Earl, how’s the day been for
you so far?
Oh, not bad.
Are you looking forward to
lunch?
I certainly am. I gotta go to
work, and at least I can eat in
peace for about fifteen
minutes.
What time do you have to go
to work?
I just have to get there
fairly early.
What time?
Oh, say, 11:30.
What time do you have to go
to work?
I have to go to work around
a quarter of, which is about
right now.
Okay. Thankyou.

SPECIAL GUEST-
PROFESSOR BAYES
Good evening, Colonel.
Pleasure to see you at the
club tonight.
Thank-you. I’ve enjoyed
being here. I’ve been looking
over those stock reports.
Not a bit of truth to it.
What do you think about the
New Axis?
I believe that our next
thrust is going to be into the
underbelly of Brazil.
Ihat’s what I’ve heard . . .
Diamonds, bauxite ...
Slaves.
Anything ycu want ... So
you came up right at the tail
end of it?
Yes.
The blue light special.
The blue light special. I’m
always attracted by a blue
light. You know, ‘^‘Heaven
Protect the Blue Tail Fly,”
that old folk song?
Is that spelled T-A-I-L or.
—T-A-L-E?
Well, uh, you take it the way
you find it. Waste not, want
not.
I see. Right. Right.
9|e « ](( « III
I can’t believe they let me
in the cafeteria.
Why do you say that?
‘Cause the last couple of
times I’ve tried to come in,
they’ve kicked me out im
mediately.
Why?
They just do. They can’t
stand me, I guess.

“Francis Cartier once
declared that there is no such
thing as creative thinking-
that there is no thinking; but
that thinking occurs so
seldom, he argued, that when
it does we call it creative.”

Human Potential, Sidney J.
Pames, D.O.K. Publishers,
Inc., Buffalo, N.Y., 1972.)

David
How’d you talk the cop into
doing that?
Well, they’re always in
terested in preserving the
peace and order. There’s no
tronble talking them into
doing it, just tell them what’s
going to happen. If you’re
going to have a demon
stration, just tell the cops
you’re going to have a demon
stration, and they're half the
fun.
It worked out pretty good.
I hope they didn’t hurt our
friends, though, whoever they
were.
