LET THERE HE LIGHT
With the advent of spring fever
and the love-lorn swain, it behooves
the editor to seize his righteous pen
in the cause of campus reform. 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.
