In our beautiful college song, “I'd Like a Shady Place by the Old Mill Race,” which is so dear to the heart of ev ery Oregon “stewed,” the shades re ferred to are neither window shades nor the shades of night. Down the deep, dark, dank depths of our clas sic creek, nightly may be discerned the shadowy forms of youthful Ro meos and their enamoratas, gliding slowly by in their Old Town gondo las, their well modulated voices somewhat confused by the low whis perings of the breeze in the branch above, the silhouetted forms of hen from a near-by pig. On the bank above the silhouetted forms of hen coops or barns preside in a dignified silence over this scene of youth and romance. Gentle reader, it is not the pur pose of the editor to speak lightly of this delectable scene, or to en deavor to mow down D. Cupid with a verbal solar plexus, or to cut off the annual crop of spring engage ments. What that mill race needs is light, L-I-G-H-T-S, lights, and lots of them. Let Cupid’s ditch be lit up, even as a Springfield wayfarer, with a halo that shall reach from the rapids to McClanahan’s incuba tor factory. We do not wish to intimate that Jack the Grab has taken to aquatics, nor does the editor wish to scoff at romance. The safety and welfare of each and every student is first in the large and throbbing heart of the Emerald editor. Only the owl can see at night, and besides that, gentle reader, you know the dear old saying, “Love is blind.” Picture a lovelorn swain, with his lady fair, drifting down the bosom of our placid stream, listening to the dulcet strains ema nating from the residue of the de funct Mandolin Club. Picture them patient reader, drifting innocently on, while nearer approaches the treacherous form of the headgates. Let us draw the curtain over the harrowing scene which follows. A rush, a swirl, faint screaming, inter mingled with gurgling and remarks in a masculine voice which a Hearst paper would hesitate to print, and— all is over. Let us not follow this harrowing disaster farther. A trip down the moonlit surface of Cham bers’ power ditch is as sentimental as a summer at the beach, but a mid night plunge in its icy depths is about as romantic as the poetry in the Monthly and about as funny as a faculty joke or a cold hot water bottle. Let the race be a bower of glow ing incandescents, which will make the fondest dreams of Ralph Moores’ and Emma Waterman’s Canoe Car nival sink into a distant and far away whisper.
