OCTOBER 2, 1981 THE LANCE PAGE 5 ST by MOLLIE NOLAN On this campus there are a lot of people who have many different in terests such as sports, art, singing, playing an instrument or acting. Each of these takes great talent and I have often observed people whose lives seemed to revolve around such activities. A great talent, in my opinion, is writing; whether it be poems or short stories. I have found on this campus that this talent is more open and is considered an art. People of various backgrounds may enjoy writing but are afraid to have their work published. Many aspiring writers worry that their emotions going to be revealed and that their privacy will be invaded. As a writer myself, my feelings are very easily inter preted, nonetheless, the reader will get this own interpretation. That’s the unique quality about writing. The writer can fulfill a need for himself, while entertaining the reader. On our campus, there is a group of students and teachers which meet every week to share its work. Per sonally, these readings have inspired my to write and share more of my work. In this way I have benefitted, because my desire is to write for the reader rather than for myself. I feel sure that a lot of talented people on this campus are kee;ing their “pearls of wisdom” hidden from an anxious audience, thus hindering their success as prominent writers. A $1,000 grand prize will be awarded in the upcoming poetry competition sponsored by World of Poetry, a quarterly newsletter for poets.

Until that enormous steamroller called life rolls past and smashes all your hopes and dreams. . . and you fling the pancake out to the dog. . .and he flings it back at you. And it hits you in the back of the head so you pick it up and fluff it up, hoping to revive it.. . and it just lays there. So you buy some syrup and find a fork and eat your way into non-chalant happiness. . . Most Likely to Succeed By SOPHIE MOTT She opened the dusty cover of htff old annual God how she’d changed in the past five years. Looking through the pages of her youth, she cried she cried, for she longed the security the security of a small world that she had had once. She wanted the closeness of a friend’s touch someone someone to reach to her from the pages She had once been there She’d never noticed the quiet then there had always been so many people around her. Where are they all now? The pressure was too much so much on her shoulders Slowly a drop of blood fell on a page Most likely to succeed Atlanta By SOPHIE MOTT 1 have seen the work of a man butchering small bodies not caring for the human race, just numbers of victims “What has happened to my poor son?” Childish silent echoes resounded in many nations “Doesn’t anyone care?” “They found my only son’s body” like all the other ones slain in the woods of Atlanta discovered months later The vultures repeatedly probe. My love succombs to wrath Hear takes over a child's laughter and still the killer stalks.
