Our Roving Reporter took a birthday list for graduate students and
faculty to a local astrologist. "Tell us what will happen in the new Chinese Year of
the Rat," she said. Here are the words of the master.

Capricorn
Dec. 29-Jan 19
Robinson Crusoe wasn't the only one to have a
Friday. Yours is closer than you think. Keep your eyes open for those footprints. |
_
Taurus
April 20 - May 20
Edgar Allan Poe had the right
idea in The Sleeper. "Oh, lady bright! Can't be right - this window open to
the night." Watch that monkey business! People catch cold that way. |
c
Virgo
Aug. 23- Sept 22
If there hadn't been a Pamela, there wouldn't
have been a Shamela. And to Shamela we owe our thanks for brother Joseph? Yes. Just
because you've got to write your own doesn't mean somebody else can't inspire you. |
h
Aquarius
Jan. 20 - Feb. 19
Ursula and Gudrun didn't quite
get it right. It's not a perfect world, but maybe Mr. D.H. was a bit cloudy. Give yourself
time and keep the spark of hope alive. |
`
Gemini
May 21-June 20
Little Oliver had his Bill
Sikes, but his Nancy, too. The problem, of course, is knowing the difference between the
two. You know what it means. And by the way, isn't it about that time again to treat
yourself to some Dickens? |
d
Libra
Sept. 23 - Oct. 23
Ok, ok, one more drink won't
kill you. Mr. Fitzgerald says be Tender in the Night, is all. A little ole'
nightcap never did anybody any harm. |
i
Pisces
Feb. 20-March 20
The next time you see the Graduate
Institute secretary, she'll be wearing a color that matches your mood. Give her a nice
smile, it's not her fault. If it's a good mood, give her a bigger smile. |
a
Cancer
June 21-July 22
Your grasp of Irish literary history
needs perking up. You don't even know who Mary Anne Madden Sadlier is, do you? Get with
it! Dial 3510 on campus phone. |
e
Scorpio
Oct. 24 - Nov. 22
Art imitates the essential process of
nature, not by copying it as a model, but by translating its insight into a medium. Thus,
your interest in translation is no futile thing. Read your Coleridge. |

Aries
March 21-April 19
Take your lesson from Uncle Toby. Our
hobby-horse is "as tender a part" as we have. You'll feel it, that's so,
"and very sensibly too." Oh golly, better take care... |
b
Leo
July 23-Aug. 22
There's a time to be quiet and
shy, and a time to make a decision, too. Sorry to tell you, but you're not fated to be
another Hamlet. |
f
Sagittarius
Nov. 23 - Dec.21
For whatever it's worth,
Longinus values passion as one of the five sources of the sublime. Courage, not fear! |
