AQUARIUS
You are expecting everyone to drop
everything when you appear. Your
communication level is low and difficult.
One word of advice-friends are getting
mad. Just don’t expect any favors from
them in the near future.
PISCES
Party, party, party is all you seem to do,
but the funny thing is that it suits you.
Adults will try to calm your wild streak, but
just brush them aside and go ahead with
your life. Just be careful in the process
because close friends have had close
calls.
ARIES
The love of the century is looking unsure
because of past relationships. These
shouldn't influence your decisions. It's
not like all the others. Also, don’t take
your insecurities out on your friends.
They suppxjrt you in anything you do.
Horoscopes
TAURUS
You are worried about your future, but it is
others who are above you that make it
worse. There is no need to worry about
this now. Everything has a way of working
themselves out. You and your friends are
working very hard, and you need to take a
break.
GEMINI
You are having pressure from a certain
special man and from school. Do not
worry- just worry about yourself and what
you are doing. Friends are getting bad
signals from you. A certain one needs to
hear some advice from you. Give it to her.
CANCER
A new love has been taking up lots of your
time. You think that the relationship is
going too smooth to be real. Your friends
want you to relax about it. Your parents
are afraid that this could lead to
permanent future plans. Who knows
what will happen, who do I look like...an
astrologer.
LEO
Too many men and all of them are no
good!! I'm serious. You need to
relinquish all these pests and find some
normal ones. You almost had one, but you
were influenced by other forces. Keep
trying, but trying too hard with the "hard"
stuff can cause problems. It has
happened before.
VIRGO
You should take a break from the pain,
alias your boyfriend. A possible romance,
for example that Bowman Grey student
from the library, could call you for a date.
It is time to break away from the norm
and go crazy.
LIBRA
You are doing odd jobs in order to
improve your financial account. Mommy
and daddy are not going to give it to you,
so a closet sale is not even going to help
matters. I suggest moving up in the
financial ladder, for example take a job at
a high class restaurant. The Refectory.

Life as a biology major is not
always as academically strenuous
as the department would lead you
to believe. One of the primary joys
of being a senior is the opportunity
(requirement) to enroll in Biology
311: Evolution. Just the title of the
class is enough to make any
educated person cringe, but at
Salem it proves to be an interesting
course.
The highlight of the semester
revolves around the class trip to
Washington D.C. to visit the
Smithsonian Museum of Natural
History. October 9-11 marked the
23rd year that Dr. Jim Edwards has
THE FAR SIDE
A Day With The Dinosaurs
man J piled the class into the Salem van made sure we had enough to do.
piled the class into the Salem van
and ventured up I- 85 to D.C. Our
class, Lisa Beatty, Felicia Lamm,
Julie Lindsay, Bernyce Pritchard,
Kristie Reynolds, Marion Taylor,
and myself, has character that
complements our small size. We
have a lot of fun together; and
rightly so, we've been in the same
classes now for three and one half
years!
We arrived at the museum on
Monday just in time to join the
ranks of the many would-be
naturalists waiting for the doors to
open. Now, you may be
wondering how we could occupy
ourselves for eight hours in one
museum. Well,' Dr. Edwards
made sure we had enough to do.
He gave us the grand tour of the
exhibits in the morning and left us
the entire afternoon to answer 38
questions on the museum and its
inhabitants. Most of the questions
were rather straightforward, like,
"Where are the dinosaurs named
'Edward' and 'Albert' located?" and,
"How long is Diplodocus longus?"
Others, however, were slightly
complicated: "Explain the evolution
of the horse. Why did it change in
size so much?" and, "In what
exhibit is the polished section of
the grapevine branch located?"
The 38th question gave us our
chance for revenge: "Write one
new question for next year's class." I
SCORPIO
There are some heavy definite plans in
your future. Once you are involved with
these, there is no turning back!! So now is
the time to play and have a good time.
Your friends may not understand your
reasoning, but of course no one really
understands your motives anyway. Have
a Happy Birthday!!
SAGITTARIUS
Fall break is over now, and it is time to
start working. Before you know it, it will be
Thanksgiving and then exams. Start
preparing yourself early, because
something unexpected may preoccupy
your life for a while.
CAPRICORN
You have been running around like a
crazy woman, and just when you sit down
to think, the room starts to spin (drinking
too much?). Get a grip! Start to
concentrate on one thing at a time, before
that bomb goes off in your head. If things
get too hectic, take a (loody's.
spent a good 30 minutes running
around the dinosaur exhibit
looking for something extremely
obscure !
All in all, the trip was quite a
success; we learned more that day
than we'll ever be able to absorb
from a single textbook. And when
you are reading Charles Darwin's
On the Origin of Species all
semester, it's nice to have some
visualizations to relate to, just in
case the reading gets a little
abstract or philosophical!
I especially enjoyed all the
dinosaurs and the chance to
accumulate some dinosaur gift
items from the "dino-store."
