Lines Decrease Vote
After watching lines form at the Co-op polling booth and in
Commonwealth square between classes all day \\ ednesday,
•we wonder if the senate might reconsider the feasibility of
placing another voting booth in that general area to catch stu
dents between classes.
Most students have a minute between classes when it
would be most convenient to vote and it seems as though the
senate should be considering every convenience of the voter
in an effort to raise the traditionally light balloting in stu
dent elections.
The Student Union booth and the one at the Co-op garner
ed the most votes. We wonder if any additional booth in the
general area of 13th street might have increased voting.
Lines aren't one of our most favorite means of entertainment.
We think any effort to cut down on voting lines would increase
balloting in a future election. And it would certainly make it
^easier for the student who does want to vote but dislikes said
lines.
Ivy Covered Halls
We didn't believe it could ever happen.
But IVY is actually growing on the walls of the Student
Union. There's one brave, adventuresome bit of the plant that
Is pushing up little tentacles of green in the corner of the west
side of the Union, outside and to the left of the Tom Taylor
lounge.
Ivy has some traditional connection with the halls of know
ledge. And Deady and Villard halls wear their mantles of
green with dignity and age. Those ivy-covered halls are a
tradition on the University campus.
Somehow, though, it seems rather presumtuous, almost sac
rilegious, for that little plant to spread itself over the walls
and the modern architecture of the Erb Memorial Union.
Or perhaps it's only that the progress that bit of ivy is mak
ing up those brick walls is a sad reminder of our advancing age
and the swift decline of our status as a collegian.
We can visualize it all fifty years hence, when we return
to this campus as silver-haired, dignified, and perhaps suc
cessful, aUims. An ivy-covered SU!
“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust ...” and even the newness, the
starkness, the clean, hard lines of the Union will succomb slow
ly to age and ivy.

The Sinner's Graduation
(Ed. Note: Burled In the Em
erald files of past years, are many
literary "gfm*,” lost to posterity.
We think ‘‘The Sinner’s Gradua
tion" which ran ill the 1U32-5H
Emerald Is such a “gem" In col
legiate- satirical writing. So, for
all those Funk fans who have
enjoyed this column before and
for those students who missed
it in last spring's Emerald, we
present Boh Funk's "The Sinner's
Graduation." Being spring term
again and all, we think the col
umn is more than appropriate.)

Emarald Columnist
Once in a damp but otherwise
rather pleasant forest located
somewhat south of Highway 99,
assortment of
anim als, in
eluding a
large, fury
animal called
an Admininis
t ration; a
small un
combed a n
imal classified
as an Under
graduate, and a strange belliger
ant animal known as the Sinner.
The Sinner had originally been
known as the Senior; time and
reputation had altered the word.
These three animals lived in
t more or less neighborly fa
shion, grubbing about under
stones and logs for small mor
sels of Knowledge and Good
times, which comprised their
diet. If one could have chosen
which of the animals one was
to be, one would have rhosen
to be the Administration. The
Administration was the largest
and furriest, and was usually
thought of as Boss. Certainly
one would never have chosen
to be the Undergraduate; not
if one had ever seen the Un
dergraduate, even from a dis
tance.
And probably one would not
have chosen to be the Sinner. The
Sinner was a great problem to
everyone, everyone being the
other two animals. At first, ev
eryone tried not to notice the
strange way the Sinner was act
ing, outrageous as it was. To be
gin with, the Sinner began refus
ing to do its Part. Just what
one's Part was in this forest no
one quite knew, but everyone did
agree that one should do one's
Part. One morning the Sinner
refused to get up at seven. At
ten, it said a bad word to the
Undergraduate, who attempted
to rouse it.
At one p.m., it snamnira
over to where the Administra
tion and the Undergraduate
were just finishing off a really
niee snack of Knowledge and
Good Times which they had
gathered, and complained
about there not being anything
to eat.
“The early bird gets the
Knowledge,-" remonstrated the
Administration, gently.
“Early to bed and early to
rise,” began the Undergraduate
obnoxiously, but before it could
finish the Sinner took its paw
and shoved it into the Under
graduate's mouth. It was quite
impolite.
Later that week the Sinner
had some shattering experience
with the opposite sex, and the
Undergraduate and the Admin
istration began to find empty
brown bottles strewn about, la
beled “Heart-balm.” On Satur
day night the Sinner sat up all
night, carousing, surrounded by
bottles of Heart-balm, singing
what only the Sinner could have
though was a song.
Finally, it became Too Much
for everyone. The Undergradu
ate and the Administration
had a board meeting and the
Administration, as chairman
of the bourn, appointed it sou a
Standing Committee to Inves
tigate the rnfort iiniite Be
havior of the Sinner, and lie
port Tomorrow. There win an- |
other board meeting Tomor
row, whleh was as It happened
the next day.
When the meeting got h.h far i
ns Committee Reports the Ad- j
ministration rose grandly. The j
Undergraduate clapped.
“I have been considering this
matter very seriously," said the
Administration.
"Hear, hear!" shouted the Un
dergraduate enthusiast truly.
“And I recommend to this
body that it is time to get rtd of
er, encourage the Sinner to go
Elsewhere." Aral at this time the
Undergraduate gave the Admin
istration a Standing Ovation,
which fairly shixik the forest.
"Therefore, a» chairman <»f
thin comm.'ttce I move that the
Sinner t>e given a Diploma, tn
lieu of an invitation to Green
l’intuivs.” And after the Un
dergraduate and the Adminis
tration had passed the motion,
and had had u small parade
around a tree, the Administra
tion sat down and scrawled
"B.A." on a piece of bark with
its toenail.
That night, the Administra
tion and the Undergraduate ap
proached the Sinner, who was
just about to open another bot
tle of Heart-balm, and presented
it with the Diploma. The Sinner
looked at it. upside down, and
after coughing politely the Ad-j
ministration read it to the Sin- j
ner, and gave a short speech on
its Significance.
A strange light came into the
Sinner’s eyes, and for a moment ’
it looked almost pleasant. Then, j
carrying the bottle of Heart
balm in its teeth, it walked out
of the forest toward San Fran
cisco. Tho Undergraduate and
the Administration accompanied
it to the edge of the forest,
whistling "Pomp and Circum
stance."
After that, everything was
different. Everyone (everyone
till just two), did his Part. No
one sat around all night ca
rousing and drinking Ileart
bnlm. No one got up at noon
and wondered why all the
Knowledges were eaten.
But for all that, it was rath
er lonely. The Undergraduate
went to visit the Administration,
and on weekends the Administra
tion went to visit the Under
graduate; and they had parties,
of a sort. But on quiet evenings
the Administration would wan
der to the road, and look sadly
down toward San Francisco, and
wonder, and the Undergraduate
would climb a particularly tall
tree from which he thought
he could see the lights of San
Francisco (it was really only
Drain) and he would wonder too.
And every once in a while they
would get together and have just
a small sip of Heart-balm, in re
membrance of the Sinner, B.A.
