All The Ticking Clocks
.When it begins to rain in November, and students hurry
across campus with coat collars turned up and shoulders
hunched against the inevitibility of more and more rain, it
• seems a proper time to philosiphize for a moment on college
life at Oregon.
Back in September, when the skies were still blue and
finals were far away, we extended a hearty welcome to a
thousand new freshmen. We met in the SU or The Side for
feoffee. We discussed what we did last summer. We laid plans
for a “bigger and better” year at Oregon. Some of us even
made resolutions about really keeping those grades up this
year.
Our activities were going to be better organized for 1953.
•Our outlook on life was going to be more tolerant. Our
thoughts were going to be deeper. We were going to learn so
tnuch more with a whole clean slate stretching ahead of us.
Then, enter the demon Time. Somehow Time stalked us
down and before we knew it, mid-terms had overtaken us. And
Homecoming is just around the corner. Another term at Ore
gon is well on the way to being history.
Time ... that fleeting something that man can measure but
never quite grasp. Time . . . that intangible which forever
dogs our footsteps and limits all things that man would do.
Time . . . that precious element of life which marks us all
by the simple process of ageing us each year. Time ... mak
ing our college years so fleeting.
What is time? Philosophers would call it placing limits on
•something which is unlimited. Students might say it is Time
-that keeps their grades way below that four point. Instructors
are heard to complain that time is that which keeps them from
imparting sufficient knowledge to those rows of young aind
-slightly tired faces.
: Remember that old adage—you always have Time for what
you realy want to do. But sometimes, faced with a whole world
’to explore, even Time gfets away from you.
Clocks all over the world are relentlessly ticking off each
Second. Even as you read this, precious minutes are slipping
by which can never be regained.
Mid-term? Mid-passage? Mid-May? It’s a good point from
■which to examine your share of Time and make sure it’s being
spent for the things you really want out of life. (E.S)

Emerald Editor:
We wish to express our feel
ings about a need, as we see it,
which concerns the social life of
graduates and older students. We
feel that these people lack op
portunity to meet socially with
others of their own age group ex
cept In the somewhat narrow
confines of departmental clubs
and honoraries.
Undergraduates and young
er students have their oppor
tunities in many living organi
zations and religious, service,
and social clubs. Graduates
and older students do not have
the same opportunities. Most
of them live in apartments,
rooming houses, or dormitor
ies where there are few others
of the same age.
The majority of campus or
ganizations are composed of
younger students whose interests
are not the same as those of the
older students. Departmental
clubs and honoraries are some
what confining, in that one meets
only those with identical majors.
What we would like to see
on the campus is either a club
or club room limited to grad
uates and those who are 23
years of age and older. How
nice it would be on an after
noon coffee break to be able to
go to a room adjacent, let us
say, to the fishbowl where we
could be sure of finding a gab
fest or two of other adults.
Such a place or organization
would be a boon to those of us
who are new to the campus,
who are living alone, or who
have returned from the service
and know few others of our
age. "
We would like to hear how
some of the other older students
feel about this problem.
