If You Pick Flowers, Do Carru. Scissors By MARY ANN CAMPBELL If the people who want to pick flowers around the campus would take along shears or clippers to cut the bushes,. Sam Mikkelson, University gardener in charge of maintenance of the campus, wouldn’t object nearly as much. “It isn’t that taking the flowers off bushes, like camellias or daphne, is such a crime,” he said, "it’s just that breaking the bush hurts it. “Flowers like lilies of the val ley or violets aren’t hurt by pick ing as long as the leaves are left to give the l’oots nourishment,” he went on. “But we have our most trouble with people who break shrubs. One rhododendron, a deep red Canubia, back of the art build ing, was badly mutilated. “Of course people have always picked flowers, more or less, have in all the years I’ve been here,” he smiled. "The night watchman usually catches them and just gives them a lecture.” Mr. Mikkelson was full of en thusiasm for two trees he has just planted. The name of the tree is the Kohai, but he hasn’t the remotest idea of what they will look like when they have grown. Those trees between Deady and Fenton and Deady and Villard that turn such a brilliant yellow in the fall are called in Latin Gingo Bilboa, but to all us non botanists are the maidenhair tree. They are natives of the Or ient, and Mr. Mikkelson has grown one to about eight feet in four years from a cutting. He had another started, he re gretfully remarked, but someone cut it off with a hoe.

Kramer's Beauty Shop On the Campus Patter I want to rave a bit about a blonde girl who walked beautifully across the brilliant greenness of the campus one day when the sun was out. She wore a yellow daffodil in her golden hair above a straight-shouldered beige coat and white white white shoes. She looked exquisitely scrubbed. Exquisitely. She had blue-grey eyes and it I were a man I’d have been helpless game. Mr. Freeman Holmer could probably tell his soc. class that this vagary is another horrible example of the chaotic thinking rampant in modern times etcetera, which he said Patter was. Why is it chaotic to dwell on the reflection of a memory of a flash of life? I simply LIKED that daffodil. Isn’t that enough ? —Pat Erickson.

Lei Dan in Hawaii Like Our Maij Daij By BETTY-JO SHOWN May Day is Lei Day in Ha waii, the land of continual spring, and shower trees in bloom are counterparts of our blossoming Oregon fruit trees. But Annabelle Dow, student from the islands, compares spring on the Oregon campus very favorably with that to which she is accustomed. Annabelle, born in Hawaii, is experiencing her first Oregon spring and is impressed—particu larly with the distinction between winter, a novelty to her, and spring—the change in spirit, in activities, and in clothing. "I had to wear a sweater only two weeks last year!” she exclaimed, but observed that she hadn't yet been soaked to the skin by Oregon rains, a common occurrence in Hawaii’s sudden downpours. Hawaiian fruit plants have no distinctive blossoms, unlike the apple and cherry trees which, provide the outstanding objects of beauty in our season. Instead, the streets are lined with shower trees, one street with yellow blooms, others with red, pink, lavender, or rainbow—a blend of all the rest. A Native Queen The coming of spring has long been celebrated by the crowning of a queen and dancing—a tra ditional May Day festivity. Her court consists of native girls, the island which each represents be ing distinguished by the charac (Continued from piu/c three) ANOTHER by Frances Denney 1 Brightest trick of the Easter Season.
