,Once again we are on, the :britik. ofnniversal madilkss presaged
by the coming of Spring: The :signs„ . are ; ominously clear—robins
playing tug of war with 'worms; people inviting more upper res
piratory infections by going. abo:ut bareheadecb'barehanded, and in
some cases barefooted;_ cOUples crowding park benches under a
moon-clouded sky; and - so -op. ..•
People sit hefore • their- wide r operk windows, strumming
and singing "Ja-da" off-key.
When you pick up thd telephone,
you can hear other people carry
ing on conversations that at any
other .•season would earn, them
a place in lunacy's Hall of Fame.
The operator's got it, too.' She is
also singing "Ja-da," buzzing
your call on the, beat ; reet
Mad InfatUation - •
One solitary person was ob
served walking barefoot on the
grass, warbling "Nature Boy."
However, the majority of stu
dents are simply walking on the
grass; thus far.
One coed was overheard mak
ing the statement, "What glorious
weather! It's simply too good, to
waste. I must find someone with
whom to. become madly infatu
ated." \
Obviously we can learn from
our feathered friends. One cam
pus laddie, when asked why he
spent so much time observing
the male robin, denied that he
had an aesthetic interest in na
ture. He was, he said, simply
polishing up his whistle.
Star Gazer '
Some people always make the
mistake of thinking that• warm
weather mean warm water. Any
one planning an excursion at
Whipple's Dam in the very near
future should take along a hot
water bottle—anyway, some kind
of bottle.
Those who enjoy 'w a din g
through seas of mud with eyes
fixed on the clear blue sky should
keep• in mind the experience of
one• long-gone professor, who, in
his , earnest perusal of the stars,
fell down a well.
People around you may soon
take to writing poetry. Don't dis
courage them. It's cruel to blight
their egos, and besides, they won't
listen. It's much better to scan
the meter and criticize intellec
tually. They will think you have
Soul. This will help when' they
get food boxes from home.
Beware All!
In spring the young man's
thoughts - traditionally turn to the
divine passion; the coed's thoughts
obstinately turn to the latest
fashions; military men alarming
ly have thoughts of revolution;
and this spring should see under
dog political parties .averyimhere
turn with a divine passion to the
latest fashions in rnaSs ,propa
ganda, hoping for a revolution in
popular opinion, so they can go
crazy, . too.
Anyway, if you should 'come
across an entrancing little cheiub
tearing out branches in the old
willow tree for arrows, watch out!
