Sunshine Softens
Sob Sister to Song
By BETTY JANE THOMPSON
Long ago—(about a month ago, in reality) the pussywillows, hailed
| as the first heralds of spring for many, many years, took things in
their own hands and determinedly, cautiously pushed their furry grey
1 heads up to peek at the world. What they saw was none too encourag
ing. It was bitter cold and pouring unceasingly most of the time. But
they threw caution to the winds and challenged the weather, boldly
I stepped out into the biting, drenching weather.
Passersby looked mcreduousiy,
then turned away with a sneering
smile. They wondered whether the
pussy willows had been fooled or
whether they were trying to tanta
lize the world.
Although winter weather had
the upper hand, a few sunny days
managed to squeeze in between
the rainy ones.
I On these few days, robins by
the dozens cavorted around, mak
ing the most of the sun. Not only
did the robins appear, but also the
I Brewer blackbirds — those sleek,
II black birds that seem to change
S colors every time they assume a
different angle in the sunlight.
Their sharp, metallic chirp was in
deed a welcome sound to those ach
ing for the return of springtime.
The crowning event of those few
spring-like days was the sight of
first one brilliantly plumed bird
then another.
Hopes soared high only to col
lapse suddenly with the return of
King Winter to his throne. Blue
birds and Brewer blackbirds went
into hiding, and robins chirped dis
mally once again.
Then came the day when people
awoke, sleepily opened their eyes,
and prepared to groan over the
horrid day ahead of them.
In the midst of their groans their
eyes popped open — unbelieving.
The sun was streaming gloriously
through the east windows, birds
were singing and chirping joyous
ly
Many people strained their cars, i
listened intently. There were the
unmistakable sounds of a chirp
similar to that of baby chicks’
separated from their mother. If
that were true, then spring was
here for keeps.
For there on the lawn busily eat
ing maple seeds, happily chatter
ing among themselves was a group
of western evening grosbeaks —
those strikingly marked yellow,
black, and white birds which for
the past several years have re
turned at the beginning of spring.
These brilliant yellow birds with
their black caps, their black and
white wings, and quizzically arched
yellow “eyebrows” are true heralds
of spring to this neighborhood.
They often wake residents of the
town with their chicklike “peep
ing” and their busy pecking on the
roof and eave troughs where the
maple seeds have accumulated dur
ing the winter.
Mile of Steam Lines
Brings Campus Heat
During the winter, the University heating plant uses as much as
60 units of hog fuel a day, according to D. L. Davis, superintendent of
the physical plant. The fuel, which is made of sawmill waste put
through a grinder is measured in 200-cubic foot units.
When the hog fuel is unavailable because of bad weather or saw
mills being closed down, the plant burns about 5.000 gallons of fuel
oil, or a tank car every other day, to heat the campus buildings and
dormitories.
“We have over a mile of steam lines on the campus," Lewis said,
More une.s arc ocing installed 10
give better service to tbe campus
and prevent frozen pipe3 in case
of a pipe line break.
“The new buildings on the cam
pus have added about 45 per cent
to the floor space we must heat,''
he stated. The plant has a new
530-horse-power boiler which was
installed this summer to meet the
new demands for heat. In addition
to the new boiler the plant already
has two 250-horse and one 150
horse. one which formerly handled
all the load on tbe campus.
With flic new equipment the
1 campus buildings will be kept
i warm all year, Lewis said, lie ex
plained that the campus is heated
most of the year now- because of
summer sessions and conferences.
The plant heats all the Univer
sity buildings as well as dormitor
ies anu furnishes hot water to the
dormitories for showers and wash
ing.

Goering Warns Europe:
Germany Will Protect All
Nazis by Use of Aircraft
By GORDON RIDGEWAY
An estimated 20,000 nazis marched in a torch parade in Austria
last night while Chancellor Schuschnigg continued to strive for pre
serving national independence. And at the same time, Germany's Her
mann Wilhelm Goering told the air corps, in the best of saber rattling
styles, that the Reich's air force was ready to protect tiro “ten millions
of Germans outside our borders.''
Recently appointed field marshal in the army by Adolph Hitler,
Goering said, in brief: |--—— -
1. That Premier Milan Hodza
must treat the Germans in Czecho
slovakia as Hitler orders.
2. That Austria must give nazis
liberty of action.
3. That Chautemps should not
encourage Czechoslovakia too
much.
4. That Chamberlain will have to
recognize that only a ‘‘German
peace” will be acceptable to the
Reich.

France seemed to have passed
another cabinet crises last night as
a parliamentary compromise over
settlement of expired labor con
tracts was assured. -An article that
would have prevented an automatic
wage increase to conform with
higher costs of living was defeated,
after Premier Chautemps had
threatened to resign if the measure
was passed.
Man Punished
BALTIMORE, March 1.—-Lashed

University Writer's
Play to Be Given
Over Radio Station
“Senior Vasquez,” a radio play
written by Doris Holmes Bailey,
former University of Oregon stu
dent, is to be broadcast soon from
the Roseburg News-Review, along
with other plays which Mrs. Bailey
has written. This play was first
produced last year by the speech
department here and was written
by the author in a playwriting class
cat-o'-nine-tails as punishment for
beating- his wife, Clyde Miller,
young, dark-haired printer, was in
the city jail hospital today, but
Warden Harry Price said he has
suffered no ill effects from the
ordeal. Miller, who previously re
ceived a sentence of one year’s im
prisonment for wife-beating, must
spend his next six months in jail
in addition to taking the flogging.
Sixty spectators witnessed 235
pound Sheriff Joseph Deegan ad
minister the whipping. No women
were in the crowd, although Mil
ler's wife had begged to be present,
commenting, “I'd like to give him
a couple more.” Eyes blackened
and half closed, jaws swollen, and
face splotched with cuts and
bruises, Mrs. Miller arrived early
but was turned away by Warden
Price.
Administering the punishment
required only two minutes. Miller
was slumped against the post help
less at the end, but he was able
to leave without assistance.
taught by Mrs. A. H. Ernst of the
English department.
One of a new series written by
Rose Perry, education major, is
also to receive production shortly,
as part of the coordination of the
spring term work of the playwrit
ing class with radio drama, and
the class in radio production given
in the department of speech.
President Robert M. Hutchins of
the University of Chicago believes
schools of journalism are “the
shadiest educational ventures.”

. Now that you arc all nicely .set-'
tied in your dormitory room and
i have been attending classes for at
| least five months this school year,
j we are giving you a gentle jolt
' from an educating easterner that
maybe it's all a waste of time.,
Simmons college’s president is
the jolter, and here’s the jolt.
“Don’t assume that you . . . life is
blighted ... if (you don’t) go to
college.” But, if you’re already
there, says lie, “college work
should be above all, an intellectual
experience."

But before this gets you down in
the dumps too far, we’d like to in
troduce you to the University of
Washington's Dr. 10. R. Guthrie,
who’s been doing research on the
“Big Apple" of all things! Sez he:
“The popularity of the Big Ap
ple in America indicates a red
blooded race above all, and it is
probable that such a dance could
not have originated in any other
nation which is considered civil
ized.”
Go ahead! You've a logical ex
cuse now for saying your collegi
antics arc just a part of a pro
gram to determine how dates
should be secured.
Virginia teachers’ colleges will
revise their curricula next year.
