Bechill One Campus Drive s “Pro llono Publico"” . . . Asking for money from a college student is ;i thankless task. If you do not think so, try it. Yet the men and women who arc soliciting in the univer sity’s one and only charitable drive now in progress should find the work easier than usual. Why? The cause is worthy, the beneficaries are definitely specified, the amount asked of each student is reasonable, every man and woman will be asked to contribute in order to make the burden lighter, and the associated students are sponsoring it. Some of us can remember the aggravation caused in past years bv repeated drives of one kind or another. Last year the attempt was made in “a drive to end drives” to fill a com munity chest. It was not successful because^of inadequate or ganization. The student council voted against such procedure This year. A superior plan has finally been effected under which the bulk of the work falls upon the chief beneficiaries, the y w. C. A. and Y. M. (’. A. From the standpoint of economy of time, effort, and effectiveness, this year’s drive will be suc cessful. Three hundred dollars of the $2500 to be raised is for the Eugene Community Chest. More than $3000 will be re turned to the campus for United Christian Work, and salaries of campus secretaries. The logic of organizing the drive on a co-operative basis this year should draw universal response. Like the work lot which the money is used, the single drive is for the public good. W. E. II. jr.

BLACK WINGS Far off in distant lands Where flow rivers to the sea, Where towering pines with out stretched hands Seem crucified eternally; Across a mystic horizon line Fly shadowy couriers of woe, Dark birds crying the adage of time “in borrow we sow.” —MEL COHN. (Editor’s Note)—The following poem, with its sharp satire, won honorable mention. THE DROLL Droll is a man on the gallows tree, Hanged by the neck ’til lie’s dead— A helpless and puny children’s bauble Tied to the end of a thread. .Spasmodically shaking an aerial shim my He dances with feet off the ground, And gargles a fitting accompaniment Of gasping and horrible sound. He pleases with rare and comical faces The watchers standing about, Who leave when the show’s all over, when he’s Lim]), with his tongue hanging out. —BALPH Ml ELSA I’. “Sedge Fire” By Ernest Moll Sincerity of feeling and a natural, pleasing lyricism characterize the poems in the volume “Sedge iFire,” by Ernest G. Moll, who is now as sistant professor of English here, having come from Colorado college this fall to accept a teaching posi tion on the English staff. Gove and death form the themes for a great many of the poems, which range in mood from the light and charming “Coquette,” through the dreamy beauty of “The Glean er,” to the mfiro serious “Testa ment” and “Earth-trover.” ' “Brinsley Town,” quoted below, shows the poet in still another mood, and is one of the most striking in the book. On Sabbath morn in Brinsley Town; The people wear their Sunday shoes And creak to church and knock them down With foreheads pressed against the pews. The drowsy elders kneel before— For prayers are long in Brinsley Town, While from the cherry at the door • God's laughter shakes the blos soms down. In his quatrains, which occupy the last part of the book, Mr. Moll lias achieved distinction in the short and necessarily difficult space of four lines. The quatrains are sharp ly and clearly etched. IVrhups the most outstanding of these is the one quoted below. THE POET Slowly lie shapes the granite of a thought To forms of life with passionate lips aud hair, Till on a day he finds that lie has caught Himself in immortal gesture of despair. The book, which may be obtained at the library, was published in Ilk.’” by Harold Yinal. -Hi. M.

Mrs. Chapman, in her story of Tennessee hill folk, uses this prob lem as the kernel of her story. In i mountain district far from any thing we know as civilized, except perhaps a railroad, lives a young adolescent who grows tired of his birthplace. He sets out, leaving be hind his anxious parents and sweet heart. “Far ’n’ beyond, to see the far places of the world. From here it looks like all the world might be made of hills ‘n’ sky. But there’s valleys so big a person can’t see across them; and there’s towns so big a man’s liable to get lost in thorn; and there’s the sea—the sea over yonder,” says Wait-Still-On The-Lord Lowe, when he sets out. But Waits doesn’t think much of the world outside. He enjoys his venture—he always enjoys things, but he is glad of the chance to come back home and marry his girl when he hears that Brasy, the villain of the story, is becoming ominously friendly with her. The charm of the book, however, lies not so much in the plot as in the delectable conversation, the revelation of the wistful sensitive ness in these people toward the sea sons, which is a delight, whereas a realistic treatment of the subject could have made the hill-folk mere automatons. Mrs. Chapman has seen deep and way below the covering of these people’s ignorance. She lias felt what they feel, known the sor rows and joys they have known. Their life, to us, appears limited, but it seems that beauty, and the awareness of beauty, hovers nearer to them than to us. Through the book there is a mood of happiness, yet that happiness is always just a shade of a degree removed from pathos. The reader won’t, find the king’s English used in this book. He will discover another language. This hill folk dialect is far richer than our own in imagery of expression. He will laugh over some phrases, and linger over others—-wishing he might use them in his own talk. For our prosaic “fist-fight,” we find the name “rippit.” “Survigrous” is a term of superlative degree. “Eve glom” is twilight. “Eveglom” is music. It is fortunate, however, that a glossary fills the last three pages. One cannot list all the treasures in this book. The -joy of discovery belongs to the reader. And “The Happy Mountain” will make 1110s readers hopeful about the moduli novel—and poetry. —LESTE R Me BOX ALI). CAMPUS.
