_ Nove

Gasp, pant, puff. Okay, everybody
RELAX. Christmas is behind us and we
all have a whole new year in which to
postpone, procrastinate, and generally put
off all the tasks we’ ll being doing at the
last minute NEXT December. In the
meantime, let’s just enjoy the elbow room
that 12 fresh months, ripe with promise
and possibility, bring to our lives. Here’s
a short list of New Year’s resolutions that
some people intend to start work on
immediately. Some are formal, some far-
fetched, and one is completely false.
We'll leave it to you to figure out which
one.

 

Allen Billy, Biology - “Get more exercise
and spend more time with my wife.”

Richard Von Kleist, Print Futures
student - “Stop smoking and eliminate
procrastination.”

Marilyn Lewthwaite, General Nursing -
“Shorten my list of e-mail messages.”

Chris Johnson, Sports Institute - “To
ensure that in 1996 we spend more time
celebrating our successes rather than
concentrating on our disappointments.”

Bruce Livingstone, Communications &
Marketing Office- “Not to buy another
piece of antique furniture until I’m done
restoring the stuff I have.”

Kevin Barrington-Foote, Music - “Do
more of the same.”

Christopher Kringle, Gift Distribution -
“To open my own homepage on the web
and put my naughty & nice list on-line.”

Brenda Pickard, Administration - “Quit
smoking (sometime).”

Geraldine Murphy, Continuing
Education - “To always stay in touch with
my heart.”

Renate Brown, Switchboard - “To keep
up with my aquasize classes.”

Sheila Ross, English and
Communications - “Never, ever, ever,
ever again write a comprehensive
examination for my Ph.D.”
