Just for a moment, come with me
To see what I see
To hear what I hear
To be where I am
To know me

Why do I write
Using the written work, I can portray
The full color spectrum of a prism
In black on white

I enjoy placing a collection of letters in proper order
To provoke a thought in your mind
Of passiveness or passion
Happiness or sadness
Disappointment or unwavering support

I will not enter into the unknown
Trying to convey to you
Something I have not experienced

I will attempt to use vowels and consonants
To share my life's experiences with you

A Classic Tale of Adventure and Terror "You have entered a world of death, but do not want to die. No treasure on earth is worth facing the Yeti." In the year 1850, a British caravan crossing the Himalayan Mountains from India into China has vanished, along with its priceless treasure. Now the race is on to reclaim the lost fortune as a pair of intrepid soldiers - a virtuous African private and a daring British corporal - spearhead their own mission to seize the prize by betraying their fellow troops. On this epic adventure, each man's will, character and fortitude will be challenged to survive the perilous quest as they battle the wrath of the vengeful English army, the fury of the native bandits, the greed of their cutthroat accomplices, and the harsh, frozen hell of the alpine peaks. And the only other obstacle to their success is a savage beast of mythical power.

In his final year of college at Middle State University, senior Chris Warren finds that the courses he needs to graduate are not offered and he will have to return to school for an extra year. As he and Dr. Brumley, a sympathetic instructor, try to remedy the situation, they confront the indifference and increasing hostility of the university administration, whose members, as well as most of Brumley's colleagues at Middle State, are committed largely to their careers and to rising in the university hierarchy. Or as one student has it, to kicking ass from a swivel chair. In their year-long attempt to find justice, Warren and Brumley encounter most of the follies and perversions of modern academia. Collect athletics, the current lunacy of literary studies, student apathy and inability, the menace of particular biological and physical science research, corporate influence in higher education, the dominance of computers - all are targets of Middle State's satire. But behind them is the larger issue: What is an education for?
