SEMINAR BULLETIN
– UNIVERSITY OF THE CLOUDS
Elimination Commpetition Examination
Out of the original 10
eager applicants who signed up for the Seminar in Advance Cooking, Baking,
Pickling & Canning, only 6 lasted through the Grampa Finklestein
eliminations. The Exam, in the form of a report, will decide our admittance to future
Seminars. Most of the 6 men started
working on their papers as soon as class was over, writing right up to the
high-noon deadline. We had the option of
submitting First Drafts for red pencil corrections and grading and everyone
took the option: Muscles, C-Plus; Nowell, C-Plus; Iron Jaw, C-plus; Magpie, C;
Shooting Star, D; Tooting Iggle, C;
White Belt, C-minus. Those accepting the option understood their next
crafts would b graded with double criticism, even with the possibility of
flunking out. Shooting Star was put on probation.
Two of our main
questions were: “Exactly what is Brine?” and “When 2 weeks are over, all the
pickles will be of uniform taste, even tho some of the spices float on the top
and some are settled at the bottom. Why?”
The latter question depended on previous knowledge of science and most
submitted wrong answers in their first drafts.
Later, by pressing hard and doing some research, some figured that the
molecular movement might be an important factor. All final drafts were handed in before lunch,
with Iron Jaw writing and polishing right up to the deadline. Professor Lingo has not yet graded the
papers, which are hanging, each on its own clipboard, on the “Seminar Reports”
board in the Medicine Lodge. The suspense is killing.

THE LEAN-4 up on the Flyway was finished today. Building
Inspector of Laughing coyote Mt examined original blue prints which had been
previously OKd, then measured construction dimensions. Found two major violations of the Building
Code of Construction Agreement. Curiously,
the building was not torn down and rebuilt to conform. Rumor has it that a huge
graft deal squelched the Inspector’s report. How much was the bribe? Who got
it? And how’s your Mom, Ed?

HAND-CLAPPIN,
FOOT-STOMPIN SINGIN-REVIVAL
“Oh it takes a worried
man, to sing a worried song…” With this driving old folk song, the evening
campfire session got off to a rousing start with verses being made up for a
half our straight to the thump-thump-thump rhythms of the whang-blanging GIT-tar.
After that, “Rum By Gum,” “This Land is Your Land,” and all the mountain songs.
When we finally calmed down, we went round the circle, described our Medicine
Names and picked a name for our first aid case of earlier today: CUT FINGER Jennings
