Pollock's FOLLY By BOB POLLOCK TODAY’S LITERARY effort, friends, consists of nothing more or less than a series of notes which we’ve collected on a rather dirty cuff over the vacation ... to begin with we’d like to toss an orchid into the lap of the lad who made what seems to us to be the best comment of the year. Somebody posted a clipping from the Journal on the bulletin board of the Shack the other day ... it was a yarn by B. F. Irvine, former editor of the paper and generally conceded to have the good of Oregon State more at heart than that of the University . . . surprisingly enough the column-long .story sang the praises of Oregon and its new prexy in language that was as beautiful to the eye as it was pleasing—and strange, in such surroundings to the ear. THE COMMENT? Briefly, succinctly, and bluntly, it said: “Is Irvine getting ready to meet his God?” ... as we said, it takes our orchids for the season. Yarns from the faculty are always good reading, so here are a couple . . . number one concerns the “Child Care and Training” course offered by the Home Ec department ... it seems that Mrs. Lomax, wife of Foreign Trade Professor Lomax, took the course last term and for some reason or other pulled down a rousing D . . . Mrs. Lomax was somewhat put out—and with reason. It so hoppens that D-Student Lomax is the very successful mother of two very nice children who enjoy life and are well and happy. Which all goes to show this department shouldn’t feel so bad about its ■winter term grades . . . probably we can dig as nice a ditch after graduation with C’s in philosophy as with A’s . . . FACULTY YARN NUMBER two concerns Dr. Townsend, grey thatched philosophy professor, who offers his own solution to love for all those interested. The modus operandi is simple. Merely take along a cardiograph when you go out to pitch a little woo and watch it as it records the reactions of your heart. Presently,” says Philosopher Townsend, “^ou become so in terested in what the graph reads that you forget all about your love.” It would follow, it seems, that a life of science in which one did nothing but watch graphs and gadgets would be a thoroughly satisfactory substitute for love per se, per quod, etc. It’s a cinch the business of being dean at the University of Oregon would rapidly deteriorate into a siesta under those conditions. =K 41’ * REMEMBER THOSE lovely red chairs in the browsing room in Oregon’s temple of learning? Well, as you probably know, they aren’t with us any more ... it appears that the steady and bulky groups of consistent sitters so flattened the pillows of the two that it was necessary to send ’em to Portland to be restuffed . . . For the present—and rather an indefinite present, Miss Sawyer, browsing room waker, seems to think—the public is going to have to do its relaxing in the wicker museum pieces. Mr. and Mrs. Newt,, operators of the Pub, have recently ac quired a new and profound—if not exactly loving—respect for the law—it seems that the law in the person of the dog catcher descend ed upon their pride and joy, Gyp, and transported him off to an iron cage at the city pound the other day. Newt & wife thereupon boarded the family packard in great haste and repaired to the pound! with dog license in hand to re lease Gyp who was tremendously annoyed by it all . . . after a bit of negotiation he was taken back to the Pub to mooch bites off diners and to tell the rest of the hamburger hounds in the neigh bourhood of his travels . . .

Pink’s Lemon-Aid By JOHN PINK (By THE EMERALD FASHION EDITOR) Today we are more than one week into spring- term. You don't need a calendar, or clock, or an hour glass to tell you, either. Neither do I. although personally I wouldn't mind seeing- a good hour glass figure once in a while just to relieve diabness of campus forms. Just stick your head out of your window any morning, as did I this, and let the slushy-grey snow spangle your hair until it droops around your ears like a l»8-eent fedora. Or if you are the adventur ous sort, don your waders, or galoshes, or just rubbers, and sally out into the blasts that are playing leap frog on the streets. Theie can be no doubt that spring is here. After a month of widespread roaming over the Oregon hillsides, the March lion is certainly preparing for a very theatrical exit. You would think the old boy would be getting- a little weary with life, hence a little more lenient, but no, he seems to strengthen with age, like good whiskey (I am told). The next headliner we are to entertain is winsome dame April. If she comes dressed this year as she did last, I am afraid I will become vexed. Last season’s ensemble consisted of a dress of splat tered raindrops, with a mantle of snow- nonchalantly draped about her shoulders. For a headdress she wore a diadem of slivery sleet, which, when she shook her head, plummeted about the countryside. Such a getup is passe this season according to the latest fashion trends. But dame April, one of Spring's three children, is very much like her mother—old. She has been around for quite a stretch of time. It is very doubtful whether or not she will feel compelled! to follow the dictates of fashion, which this season falls for golden shining dress, topped by a luxuriant green head dress. Although the colors might clash I am certain that they would have everyone's approval. I was going to end this piece with the above paragraph but the editor after re-reading it) he always reads my stuff first in order to be one jump ahead of you common people) said I should draw some sort of conclusion after so- many paragraphs. So her© is my conclusion: April will soon be upon us. Neil Black, '35, has been admitt ed to the newly-created position of nedical relief coordinator for Ore gon.
