Tail of Comet was not Fatal to Is,
But Did tarth Disfigure its Tail?
When this part of the earth passed
through the tail of the comet, Wednes
day, between 0:00 and 7:00 o'clock, it
did not shatter any kugene skyscrapers,
or extinguish life on this terrestrial
sphere.
Hut many a line hand made prophecy
is now wandering about without anyone
to stand responsible for it. ‘Before the
comet goes thou shalt deny me thrice,"
said the little prophecy.
Many fears that raged in the hreasst
of timid old ladies were likewise ex
liuguished. Hut what did it do to the
college community ?
Hill you hear any boys going past
your house this past week at 2:00 a. in.,
singing merrily : I )id y ou see any con
pies sitting softly in laafy corners
talking softly ?
I'id y ou see any girls sneaking in va

why, jut ask them.

MILL RAGE IS HAUNT
OF THE COLLEGE YOUTH
When the high school student comes
to Eugene to survey the college, his eye
rests with interest on the college cam
pus, the college buildings, the college
professors, and the college students; but
it lights with enthusiasm when it surveys
the college millrace. The Oregon youth
kis an eye for possibilities. He returns
iome greatly impressed with college life
and the next year finds him safely ii
stalled in the city.
As a freshman, his first duty i:
learn to paddle. This he doe: wuh 1
narvs llous speed and success. The love
ly afternoons of late fall are not con
aimed poring over newly acquired books,
out in maneuvering around with a fel- j
low paddler on the placid waters of the
millrace. In the spring he develops a
passion for the river, enjoys paddling
is near the rapids as possible without

going over, and deserts the millrace for
a brief period. But as the days grow
warmer and examinations draw nearer,
he returns to the old place, anchors
his canoe under a shady tree and while
the hours away, reading, studying, and
dreaming.
When as a sophomore he returns to
college, he retains his love for the mill
race, and a new delight is added to his
former pleasure by the presence of a
fair companion.
To him the millrace becomes a most
beautiful and romantic spot at all times,
but especially in the evening when the
moon smiles down with his usual broad
grin.
In this wise does love for the mill
race grow upon the college youth. As
a junior he realizes what the race means
in his existence, and asks: “What would
the University of Oregon be without
the millrace?”
As a senior, he regards it with still
deeper affection, because he knows he
soon must leave it, since it follows inev
itably that “the best of friends must
part.”
Since the millrace is so well beloved
by and so popular with everyone, it does
not lack attention, and numerous at
tempts at its improvement have been in
stigated. Some of these attempts have
improved it, others have not.
Numerous property owners along its
banks, wishing to get a glimpse of its
waters, have cut down the shrubbery,
thereby improving the view and giving
the race more air, but detracting from
the solitude and seclusion. This is bad
enough, but it has come to the ears of
a few interested persons that there is a
movement on foot to establish a chain
of arc lights all along its banks, to be
lighted at eight o’clock p. m., by way
of illumination in the absence of sun
light, but incidentally it saddens the
heart and detracts from the solitude and
seclusion of the race.
I here is one movement, however, be
ing pushed by the senior women, that
bids fair to become a real tradition.
Its object is to have the race clear of
all human intruders by nine o’clock p.
m„ not to restrict the pleasure of the
numerous paddlers, but to secure their
safety in, the return down the stream.
