THE STAR SYSTEM
"For the first time in four hundred years, academic degrees in Astrological Arts and Sciences will be awarded to qualified students - the first graduating class of Kepler College," Kepler College of Astrological Arts and Sciences announces on its website. Accredited in Washington State for a BA in Astrology as well as an Associate of Arts degree in the History and Symbology of Astrology, Kepler warns you not to come to the graduation event on October 10 because seating is limited and it's by invitation only. UD would also suggest that, since Kepler is on the cusp of being an online diploma mill sort of thing, it might be embarrassing to go to all the trouble of traveling to Washington only to find yourself in an empty office in an industrial park. "The founding of Kepler College is the most important event in astrology's history in several centuries," writes one of its officials. In an article about the school, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer gives some background: "In the last century, those who employed astrologers included President Reagan's wife, Nancy, and German dictator Adolf Hitler." |
