ON TAP

Valentine's Day has come and gone but lonely hearts keep
thumpering on... have you noticed the marked lack of romance in
our hallways and under tables? The held hand and the cooing of
Cupidian lullabies seem to have gone the way of the dodo. Too
oftn one finds the light in another's eyes not to be the spark
of tre love singing, but rather the crazed gleam of a coffee and
nicotine overdose. There's too many painters pouring their

passion into canvas rather than more-intimate places...n'est-ce pas?

The turnout for last Friday's ''Happy Hours'' surprised me;
there appears to be a real demand for these weekly pit stops.
The bad news is that the temperant and controlling Liquor Board
Commission refuses to issue morethan two licenses per month...
yet another example from a plethora of punitive pronouncements
from the 'Real World'

The young man (in)famous for his flashing broches and love
of neon gas has his white light tubes on display in the lounge.
His "Bureacrat's Toy'' in the hall seems specially designed with
red tape which refuses to budge. Do you believe that he has a
solarpowered wheel with wings currently under construction?

Josi's six foot square primary floral array also holds a
prime spot on the lunge wall. Meditate upon it: it's certain
to give a bit of zap to your lunch time soup! Who, besides a
handful of clay sculptors, have ventured into Room 164, one of the
most obscure nooks within this corrugated exterior? There to
greet you is a very, very tough Big Mamma, bikini-clad would you
believe? This lady, built by Marianne Lui, is worth meeting,
gracefully in the company of a body guard. Talking about sculpture,
rumour has it that 3D is starting a new ''Breast and Boxes'' Division
to cope with the marked interest in this subject matter.

Too bad for those of you who missed last Wednesday's 3D sem-
inar. The highlight was blue grass woodworking Ric Ross' video
interview of himself, by himself, on no knowing the unknowable.
This lively creation gives example for other instructors as wel]
as students to extend themselves for everyone's gain.

_ This week's joke just has the punchline: ''An aspiring artist
rising to the ocassion''. Until next week comrades!
