Although somebody tried to convince me that the following item IS correct, I
still think it sounds funny.
Excerpt of Senior Activities handout by the Senior Sponsors:
"CARE OF CAP AND GOWN-Hang gown on a hanger; if you press your gown, be very
careful.  Use a cool iron and a pressing cloth.  Be sure that the wrong side
of the garment"

The following two items are actual advertisements.  The first one proves that
you can make art out of anything.  The second one is a very personal phone
greeting you could subscribe to.

   CONCEPT
 
   Bronze Necktie Sculpture is a new art form which uses the ubiquitous
   necktie as a theme for solid art bronze sculpture. The sculptures are
   either Abstract or Representational, free-standing or mounted on
   marble bases, table-top, or giant for indoor or outdoor siting.
 
   The necktie theme stretches the imagination, creating human
   abstractions such as Reclining Tie, Tie Saxophonist, Tie Geisha, Tie
   Ballerina, and many others. The Representational sculptures are
   unrestricted by human form and action and focus, rather, on shape,
   form, color, texture, size, and freedom of expression.
 
   PRODUCTION
 
   The Bronze Necktie sculptures are all modelled in plaster or wax and
   subsequently cast in solid art bronze using the Lost Wax method.
 
   Molds are used for certain pieces so multiples can be cast, while
   others are unique or one-of-a-kind only.
 
   The foundry process takes two to six weeks and includes chasing and
   hot patination.
 
   APPLICATION
 
    1. Table-top
    2. Architectural - interior, exterior, building sites, gardens,
       playgrounds, etc.
    3. Portrait ("portraits" modelled from a favorite necktie)
    4. Donor Recognition
    5. Collectors
    6. Private Schools, colleges, universities
    7. Corporate
    8. Timepiece (clock)
    9. Fountains

   America.

Kinder Calls

in Touch With Your Children
 
  HERE'S HOW KINDER CALLS WORKS

   see that s/he is OK and has arrived home safely from school, gets
   ready for school, makes the club meeting or anything else you
   designate. If your child requests assistance or does not answer the
   telephone, you or someone you designate will be contacted immediately.
 
   A customized calling package can be created to suit your particular
   needs and schedule. Messages will be personalized. For example, if
   your child receives a wake-up call for school in the morning, you can
   also remind him or her not to forget to take lunch, homework, etc. You
   can remind your child that s/he is loved and wish him/her a nice day.

OK, so the school year is winding down, I'm sad to say.  This is the next to
last issue of Brenternet (that is what I call my mailing list).  Those of you
in college will receive your final issue next Tuesday.  I will be producing
this feature next year as well.  Plus, I will send this to off-campus people
as well.  If you are at Lipscomb next year I will keep you on my list.  If you
will be off-campus make sure that I know your e-mail address
