Patients Hear
Prackaing'; Not
In on !Slushing'
One term and a half of slop
ping through pools of slush and
at last comes the reward—
spring! Yep. spring must be
here, ‘cause it rains only every
other day now.
Patriotic Oregonians, non-be
lievers (about it raining, even if
only on the backstroke) should
peek at the weather reports for
today and yesterday:—“Partly
cloudy last night and today: lit
tle change in temperature;
changeable wind. Oregon —
Cloudy: showers.”
What a “ger-and" time infirm
ary patients must be having
sprawled out or propped up in
quiet, comfortable repose; lis
tening to the pracka-pracka
pracka of rain outside; imagin
ing it soaking everything, in
cluding their unfortunate col
leagues slush-slushing through
the rain on their way to classes.
In bed are Tom Williams, Cul
len Murphey, Joe Rieg, Patricia
Nickell, Rex Gardner, Mary Al
derson, Virginia Wolfe, Robert
Stauhurst, Ruth Rodda, and Rob
ert McMurray.
Laurita Christofferson, junior in
the school of business administra
tion, has been selected to attend
the 1940 biennial convention of
Phi Chi Theta, business women’s
honorary, slated for June 17. 18, 19,
and 20 in Atlanta. Georgia.
