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.

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 ?

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
