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.

g
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!
