Sallie May Have Something There Emerald columnist Sallie Timmens has confronted us with tl rather interesting explanation for the chilling winds and " intr7 showers which have become such an intregal part of this \ ear s spring term. Miss Timmens places complete blame on the atomic blasts unleashed by this country in the last couple of years. s These blasts, she contends, have played veritable hob with the system of air currents which surround the earth. The » whole seasonal timetable, she says, has been thrown into a state of utter confusion. Result: black, rain-laden clouds, or iginally consigned for parts elsewhere, are ending up over Eugene, and icy winds once scheduled for some Arctic region are instead whipping around the Oregon campus. Miss timmens admits that her explanation springs from a mind entirely unschooled in the field of science. We, too, must admit to an ignorance in that field. However, after post poning picnic after picnic and waiting in vain for enough sun even to start that spring-term tan, we’re about ready to listen to aii}r kind of an explanation. No one else has come to us with a better one. So, having long ago ruled out the possibility that the Com munists were behind this unspring-like spring, we’re going to string along with Miss Timmens.—B.Y.

From force of habit the Winter happy citizens now expect the tem perature to drop to zero every time the forecaster predicts cooler Boston Vote Small BOSTON, April 27—(UP)—The Massachusetts presidential primary drew less than 10 per cent of the state's 2,000,000 registered voters to the polls today to select delegates to the Democratic and Republican national conventions. The lack of interest was due to the fact that all candidates were running unpledged. There was no way for a voter to show preference for a presidential candidate. The Democrats will select 3ft convention delegates and the Re* publicans 39. The weather was perfect, but in some places the precinct workers were the only ones to cast their ballots and one warden estimated that the primary would cost the state about $1 vote.
