LITTLE THOUGHTS FOR TODAY “Oil couid I fly, I’d fly with We’d make witii joyful wing Our annual vi.sit o’er tlie globe, Companions of the spring.” —John Logan. “A noise like of a hidden brook In the leafy month of June, That to the .sleeping woods all night Singeth a quiet tune.” —Coleridge. Renorniiiations Elections for the five major or ganizations are over, and every one is satisfied. Each organization has for its leader a strong, capable, and trustworthy girl, who is fully pre pared to meet the duties which are soon to be hers. The student body is to be congratulated for having these girls for the leaders of the 1929-30 school activities. Soon will come the nominations and elections of class officers and leaders of departmental organiza tions. It is to be hoped that as much care and caution will be shown in these elections as in the previous ones. Realize that your class presi dent represents your class and you, and that the progress and success of this or that club depends on your clioiee of leader. Apparently there has been uuieh unnecessary wrangling and fussing over the nominations for council rep resentatives. Why does this happen? Why are meetings called for the ])urpo.se of renominating? Something- must be wrong, for this has never been necessary before. Certainly no girl feels particularly flattered to be nominated at tile first meeting, and at a second meeting, called for the expressed purpose of re-nominations, to be among those omitted. If care ful thought and consideration were given at the first meeting, the second would be unnecessary. Therefore, let us take care, and have no more re-nominating. Mr. Hopper (rising from table): “Shall we dance this fox-trot. Miss Flopper?” !Miss Flopprr; “That wasn t the iirchestra starling up—one of the 'i-aiters jusl dropped a tray of dishes. HOW BOUT SPRING FEVER? •Spring fever! That most terrific of all intoxicating maladies is here with all its symptoms! And how do we know—do we hear some inquir ing nub on the rear seat ask? Along about February and March as the first breath of spring (quite trite, ’tis true!) breathed its fragrant at mosphere upon the population of Salem, we .saw everyone coming life again after being asleep winter, like tlie little groundhoggies. livery little thing seemed to hi new intere.st to us for we knew that “When winter comes can spring be far behind?” We grew very am bitious and even resorted to studying our le.ssons day by day for awhile. W'e even took a jovial interest in soccer, volley ball, baseball, and all other .sports. Even going to gym was a pleasure. (Ye Editor, protect thi.s poor weak one from the brick bats of the Sophs and Frosh, s’il vous plait.) But this general ambitiousness gradually wore off, and a new feel ing-—of despondence, or laziness. Spring Fever, shall we say?—crept over us. That is how we know that, Spring has really “came”! Noa ••ire gradually encumbered with the desire to sleep all the time, ti on “nize” soft blankets on upper campus and listen to the birdies sing, and to .smoke a few Murads thus showing our indifference to the world in general, rather than study or to knock a few baseballs across the road. The following bright remarks uttered by students must be accredited to something, let’s pack it on spring fever: “If you don’t stop having hysteria I m going out and pick i And: “I’m going to my room in over the World War; it v ke me two seconds.” None of us knows exactly what spring fever is—all we know is that e got it, or rather, it’s got us. is the best definition we can find: Spring Fever is a funny feel ing that creeps all up and down yo’ ipine and acts on yo' moving abili- ies in a sorta silly manner. If ■ou don’t believe you know what thi 'ever is that we ve been talking about, just see if this little poem doesn’t fit your mood to a T. If it does then you are just another vic tim of Spring Fever: “I wish I was a little rock, A-sittin’ on a hill. Doin’ nothin’ all the day But just a-sittin’ still. I wouldn’t eat, I wouldn’t sleep, I wouldn’t even wash, I’d just sit still a thousand years And rest myself—■ ‘Heat Lovers” Cause Bad Flavor in Milk Richmond, Va.—A course for bad lavors in milk, that does not seem- ngly endanger health, however un pleasant to the palate and bad for the milkman’s business, was an nounced at the meeting of the So ciety of American Bacteriologists recently. lis sourec is bacteria known un- the name of “heat lovers,” be cause they ferminate only in consid erable heat. If pasteurizing con tainers in a dairy' have to stand more tiian thirty minutes waiting for milk, the heat lovers may develop, so fast do they grow. Had Use For It Above them the w-aterfall thun dered down in a mighty rushing tor- pity to see all that going to waste,” remarked one of the little party of tourists to another who stood watching. The other cordially agreed, and added as an afterthought: “I suppose you’re a civil engi neer, like me?” “Oh, no,” he replied blandly; “I am a dairyman in rather a big way.” JOKES Absent Minded Dean (knocking at St. Peter’s gate): “C’mon, open up here or I’ll throw the whole bunch out.” “How’s your wife coming along with her driving?” “She took a turn for the worst, la.st week.” “Why do Scotchman buy all their canned food in small cans?” “How so?” “They don’t have to throw away Louise: “Don’t football players ver have their suits washed?” Dion: “What do you think the crub team is for?” “Here, use my cigarette lighter.’ “Hey, Percy, you took the wrong ledicine—you drank the horse lini- icnt.” “Oh, deah me, what an ass I am.'^ “Do vou drink?” “No.’' “Then hold my quart while I tie my shoestring.” Plenty of It She: “Nope, I don’t go to college, and I’m proud of my ignorance.” He: “Well, sweet thing, you’i got a lot to be proud of.” Sue Jane: “What makes you hoarse, Alice?” Alice McRae: “I’ve been talking thru a screen door and strained mv Mr. Flip: “What’s the matter with u? Anything wrong with y back ?” Mr. P'lop: “No; my wife made the shirt I have on, and I have to walk ' is way to fit it.” Passenger: Vat time does de I leave, you say? Agent: 1:50. Passenger: Make id 1:49 and I take it. Adam (to Eve)—“Good heavens These women! Always ruining lomething. You’ve gone and madi alad out of my Sunday suit.” My idea of a dumb man is onf who opens a shooting gallery ir Chicago. “Do you think it will stop rain- ig?’ “lb always has.” “Mama, George Washington must have had a good memory.” “Why, son?” “Because everywhere I go I find monument to his memory.” liarher College Yell.

Sergeant: “Have you any scars on DU?” Recruit: “No, but I can give you >me cigarettes.”—Exchange. “Clara Bow’s not so individual.” “Howzzat?” “Four out of five have IT.” —Exchange. Sambo: “What fo’ yo’ name yo’ baby ‘Electricity,’ Mose?” Mose: “Well, mah name am Mose, and mah wife’s name am Dinah, an’ if Dinamose don’t make electricity, what does dey make?”—Exchange^ “What’s that thread tied around your little finger for?” “Oh, that’s to remind my wife to ask me if I forgot something she told me to remember.”—Exchange.

It’s the tenth word in a telegram.” Rides 90 Miles Each Island of Heligoland Morning to His Class Slowdy Crumbling Aw^ay Heligoland.—This little German is land, English North sea outpost un til 1890, has lost 13,000 square met ers swallowed up by mountainous waves when recent fierce gales caus ed havoc along the west European coast as far as Norway. The damage done here and to the neighboring East Frisian island chain has led the Prussian survej' department to appoint a commission to make a scientific study of the whole coast line to ascertain if there is any dangerous acceleration in the gradual subsidence of the German North sea shores. It is known that the whole coast is sinking, but only at the rate of about ten inches in the last 100 years. Coming investigations are expected to show whether the sink ing process calls for extra precau- Seattle, Wash.—When Raymond Jaureguy is graduated from the Uni versity of Washington he will be fully prepared to catch the 7:48 train for the office.' He might -\vell be said to be majoring in commuting. Every day he makes a 90-mile trip to an eight o’clock class and he is always on time. Jaureguy lives in Tacoma. When be leaves home in the dark of morn ing, he takes a 30 minute street ear ride, then boards a train and comes to Seattle and takes a street car to the campus. “I study on the train,” he said. “Nobody disturbs you.” .It was believed Jaureguy holds a national record for distance traveled by a student.
