Spunk and Get Up!
Rome scientist came out the other day with the statement that
temperament was only a matter of hormones. These little jiggers
(translating scientific gibberish into the common speech) were, ac
cording to the venerable man, things which affected the composition
of the blood and nervous system. If the hormones were shaped like
the map of Asia, then you were calm and placid like President Hard
ing. But if the jiggers were’shaped like the outline of Ireland, then
you were of that kind of people who just fight because they fight.
""""Then the scientist said a lot of other silly things, as scientists
sometimes do. But the idea of the jiggers remained, while the rest
of the article passed by the head of the writer, as scientific articles
usually do.
Now let’s take an unscientific jump in our thinking: The other
day it was reported that two faculty members disagreed over the
mentality of their students. One said they were husky people, up
right and swinging in their carriage and free and robust in their
manner. But he thought they didn’t assert themselves enough. He
thought they tended to sit meekly, perhaps, under the volleys of in
structors; accepting oftimes when they should be rejecting; turning
a w'illing hand in many instances when they should turn a cold
shoulder. t
The other dignitary said he thought they were too darned frac
tious as they were. He saw no meekness in them, and that anyhow
and anyway meekness and proper observance for their constituted
elders was the writ and the rote of their existence in college.
The former professor is more right than wrong, and the latter
professor is not nearly as connected with the spirit of this day as he
might be.
We have hormones and we ought to exercise our hormones. (Let’s
use the word “jigger.” It’s better.) For many, many centuries
now the idea of obedience and reverence has been taught, and author
ity lias been the be-all and end-all of many, many of our elders. Just
as sporadically has the flame of youthful rebellion and youthful in
surgenee flared into effective fire. After each flare it has succumbed
to the persistent dragging of age and authority again. That’s one
bit of greatness that youth has and age has not: youth will see its
own error and weakness quicker and will try to do the just thing
quicker than age can ever possibly do.
All the precepts and all the age-worn examples in the world have
. but one thing to give those of us going through school: a certain bal
ance and perspective arising out of our relation with other people.
Insofar as we are truly in ignorance of that relationship we are
bound to respect and listen to authority, to follow the paths of those
who have gone before us, to remain in the straight, undeviating path
of custom and tradition.
But no man who daily sets in front of us and gives us, out of
books and out of his head, the rules of the game, can ever rightfully]
ask us to bow down and accept things unquestioningly.
No man can ask us to take his word as final. No man can ask us I
to respect him for anything but the intrinsic worth residing within!
him. Whatever cloak of authority he may assume, he must wear it I
gracefully and fitly. This is the temper of the present-day young;
people. They have seen so many things messed up by authority and
old age.
Which brings 11s back to the contemplation of hormones. Jiggers, i
let us say.
ARCHITECTS’ WORK CITED
Designs by Irwin am) Lau Praised by
Dean of Architecture School
Clurence H. Irwin and Kook Tui Lau
received special mention from the fac
ulty in design for the junior problem
of the garden gate.
This mention was only given once
before in the history of the school of
architecture, according to Dean Kllis
F. Lawrence. In 1H1S it was awarded
to A 0. Wont lieu-head, an instructor
from the University of Southern t'al
ifornia, who was taking work on the
Oregon eampus for a short time. He
was working on a problem for a light
house.
“The designs are very attractive in
deed.” said Dean Lawrenee in speaking
of the two students' work.
NEW BOARD WALK PLANNED
According to Superintendent of
Orounds II. M. Uishor, a new board

INFIRMARY HAS SION
"Tlit1 patients in the infirmary are
all doing nicely," Miss Orpha Clouse,
nurse in charge, reports. The frequent
inquiries at the infirmary by students |
as to where the Dispensary is, seems
to call for a further detailed descrip
tion of the location of that most useful
and busy office. The Dispensary and
University Clinic are occupying the six
small rooms constructed for their par
ticular use in the north end of Friendly
hull. A small flight of steps and an 1
open door constitute the entrance and a
placard containing the words "Offices,
School of Physical Education, Univer
sity Health Service."

Poem*
SHINING PEBBLES
For One did long for a Silver Cask,
And One -for a Gown of Green—
And though I looked with a searching
look,
One happy was never seen. •
“And what do you wish I’’ they cried
to me,
And their voices clamored loud,
“Now what do you wish and why are
you here?’’
And they shut me into the crowd.
“Ob, J care not for a Silver Cask,
I care for no Gown of Green—
But only two Bows of Tulips Bed,
With White Pebbles in between.”
And they laughed as I spoke of Tulips,
And White Pebbles—what are they—
“Oh drive her out for a fool!” they
cried,
“How came she by this way?”
Bur the one who gained the Silver Cask,
Has tarnished it now for ay,
And the long Green Gown that another
wore
A harlequin tore away.
And now—One longs for a Golden Cask,
One a Blue Gown for the Green—
But my Tulips Bows still bloom bright
red,
And the Pebbles are White Between.
—Katherine Watson.
TWO YOUNG PIGGERS
(With an apology to the author of
“Two Old Crows”)
Some piggers sat on a tombstone,
Silently sat on a tombstone,
While night crept down o’er the tomb
stone,
Silently down o’er the tombstone.
The spirits that walk in the night time,
(That silently walk in the night time)
Passed by the tomb at the right time,
Passed by the tomb in the night time.
Passed by the tomb thru the shadows
and gloom,
Counting the mortals, gone to their
doom. *
The spirits that led the procession,
Mumbled and muttered and stuttered.
There, when they came to the piggers,
Mumbled and muttered and stuttered.
Why did they mumble?
What did they mutter?
Why, above all, did they foolishly stut
ter,
Stutter there in the night time,
There, in the midst of the tombstones,
There, in the gloom of the tombstones,
Mumble and mutter and stutter?
H. C. S.
SONG
I will sing songs
From the depth of my soul
Wild and furious,
Delicate and limpid,
1 will sing
And mold a statue
And build the image
Of my soul.
Holy image,
Built of soul-songs
Limpid and delicate,
MESSAGE
Thou art a lily cool,
Growing quietly by a pool,
Shadowed therein soft as down.
And us I sit and watch thee there,
My hands are clasped in sudden
prayer,
To call God’s morcy down.
Bead the Classified Ad column.
Bagatelle
ROSIE
I wrote some verses to my love
In a mood of tender poesy,
I called on every muse above,
To help describe my Rosie.
For she’s a maiden dapper,
Somewhat of a flapper,
Never shy nor too discreet,
Stands alone on her two feet.
Plays a game of tennis—wow!
Always ready for a row.
Boxes, dances, plays baseball,
Runs in races—that ain’t all—
Plays at soldiering and such;
Washes dishes? Lord, not much.
Can she cook or sew a stitch?
Ask her. Answer: “Huh? says
which?”
Strong for cigarettes and fiz,
Talks of “going into biz....”
Settle down? Not while she knows
it;
Ever tired? Not so she shows it.
Semetimes I wonder how it'll end—
But that’s not answered yet, my
friend.
The muses took one look at Rosie,
Laughed in despair at the chance of
Poesy.
OBSERVATIONS ,
A clever man is one who does simple
things in a complex manner; an
artist is a man who does complex
things in a simple manner.
A pigger is not a fellow who goes out
with a girl, he is a fellow who
goes out with a girl and pays all
the bills.
