The birds, who were fooled by the last warm spell, have let out their belts and are now enjoyingly themselves hunting the elusive angle-worm. College Fords are once more being driven through the byways and sideroads. The truancy of this week's purpose last week is now resting in moth bails until another cold snap greets the campus. AFTER SEVEN YEARS Men's facies can once more leave the question of chapped ears and green pills and turn to the old spring hobby of love. Instructors' minds have turned to mid-semesters and mid-term papers. Farmers have turned to the planting of their fields, and the collegian turns over and yawns when called for his #30 class. Poets raved about the spring breezes, sunsets, bursting flowers, birds, and bowers, but we were more afraid. "Yes, it must be spring fever again." After seven years word has been received that Col. P. H. Fawcett British explorer, may still be alive Stephen Rattin, a jungle trapper brings in the news that he met a long-boarded man who claimed to be Rattin stated that he thought Fawcett was being held by natives. What will Fawcett think if he ever returns to civilization? Like Rip Vane Winkle returning from his long sleep, he will find many new things in the world. Nothing radically new has been developed in the past seven years, but many artifacts have been made on old inventions. The world depression has set tled upon us. Colonel Fawcett may not be missing much when he stays in the jungle away from the perils of civilization. In the jungle he cannot be run down by a motor car, or have a bank close, sweepin' away his life's savings. Perhaps he has even found the garden of Eden for which he has been searching. If he has, we would like to join him and leave the monotony of everyday civilization. A BLOW TO MURRAY Governor Roosevelt's decisive victory in the North Dakota primaries represents a severe blow to the presidential hopes of "Aflaffa Bill" Murray, and at the same time provides no little encouragement for both Roosevelt and the Democratic party. Not only did the Republicans put pressure on the field by a very comfortable margin, but the vote was unusually large for a Democratic primary in that state. The results were unusually significant, because North Dakota was the first state, outside of his native Oklahoma, to which Murray carried his campaign and because it was in a state where the picturesque Sooner's personality and political views should carry weight. North Dakota is one of those Mid-Western states where farm organization is strong and where farm revolts in politics have been frequent. Here, in 1915, the powerful Nonpartisan League was formed. In a few years, strengthened by ample funds and good or ganization, the League had captured control of the Republican party and through it the state government. Radical changes, most of them of a Socialistic nature, followed. Economic difficulties and concentrated political difficulties drove the League from state control within a few years, but remnants of its power still exist. Although the League expanded its activities into several other agricultural states, North Dakota was the only one in which it met with any great success. Whatever chances of gaining the Democratic nomination m i g h h have been claimed by the Murray organization before, his inability to come close to steaming the Roosevelt tide in North Dakota practically eliminates him from consideration. If he could make no better showing in a state of this political character, there is certainly little chance for his success in the country at large. And now Northwestern has admitted, humbly, of course, that nearly every girl on the campus has, at one time or another, proudly worn some kind of beauty crown. We didn't realize there was such a shortage of coeds at Northwestern! HOOVER DAM The first of the 4,500,000 cubic yards of concrete that will go into the construction of the Hoover dam was poured last week. This biomedical actual work on the gigantic project located at Boulder City, New Net or y will employment be offered to nearly 4,000 workers, but the little town of Boulder City will profit from building of this huge dam. In the past ten months this little village has known more progress and development than ever before, until now it is one of the show places of that locality, and excursions have been conducted by various railroad companies to Boulder City. Eight dormitories have been erected, which will house 172 men. Four hundred and eight individual houses have been built for men with families. But contrary to what one usually expects of the workers' town, beauty has been seriously considered. Thousands of trees, shrubs and rose bushes have been set out. Thought has been given to the plant material, selecting the most beautiful and those that require the least water, for even in Boulder City, located high above the Colorado river, water is hard to secure. The village has been made so pleasant and the working conditions are so desirable that the labor turnover is small. Although the lining of the 56-foot diversional tunnels has just begun, the work of constructing a 17-mile railroad to connect the town with the pits, the enlarging of the town, and all other work is a year ahead of the scheduled time. This project has given a boom to everything connected with it. We need more such large constructions to put the working man back into effect. Give them work and they will give the country prosperity. With the expected renomination of President Hoover on the Republican ticket, silent Cal has little hope of a political comeback in the 1932 elections. It was rumored four years ago that though Coolidge "did not choose to run," with proper urging he would, no doubt, have acquiesced. And those who know him today are telling us that his hopes have been dashed again this year by the activities of the Republican party over the Hoover renomination. The Nation this week prints an article asking the potent question of what worthwhile thing the Coolidge administration brought forth that would, in any way, justify the nomination or re-election of the former chief Coolidge, the Nation writer takes care to point out, gave the United States six years of independence saved only by the false public conception of the worth of the man himself. Why, our writer demands, should we consider drafting him again for this office? DRAFTING COOLIDGE Whether the acquisitions against Coolidge are as authentic as it seems is still a debatable question. And whether the "silent Cal" seeks a call to the presidency is not yet determinable. HOSPITAL SCENE Sunday afternoon in front of Watkins hospital. . . . . An eager youth rushes toward the building . . . . An equally eager girl awaits him in the vestibule. Outstretched arms. . . . Oblivion to spectators . . . A warm embrace. . . There may be some advantages at being sick after all. It might at least be worth trying. REBELLION Are men to steal women' thunder? For generations the feminine sex has had the perogative to dress as it pleased, satisfying every whim and fancy that happened to attract the eye, while the male has been content to leave his existence in dull blues, greys, blacks, and browns. What an exerting array of color that is! A man must be inspired to rush joyfully to work on a gloomy morning clad in a doleful black suit. This spring it is said that tailors are planning to make men more gay in matters of dress. They are experimenting with the psychological effects of color in masculine garb. Signs that there might be some breaking away from convention were the white in the brown hat and which a man in the beer of men adopted with enthusiasm. The depression is enough of an excuse for men to rebel against the drabness of their dress, if nothing else. There is no doubt of the exhilarating feeling a woman acquires when she dons a brilliant red or a flashing yellow dress. Why should this same vitalizing feeling that all is well with the world be denied to men? Depression has hit the zoos. You can now buy a nice gnu to put in your own private zoo for the more trifle of two hundred dollars. Mass production has hit the Detroit zoo. Scientific care of the animals has lowered the mortality rate of animals born in captivity, with a result too many gnus and not enough zoos. Men, perhaps, are the weaker sex, for, after all, summer after summer unprotesting, they bake in their heavy suits, and winter after winter they match the drab weather with their equally dull clothing. Let the man have an equal right to brighten the landscape and please his ego as much as a woman. Good hungry lions, whose teeth are sharp enough to mastigate the toughest restaurant steak, are selling for one hundred and fifty dollars a head. Just think of having a lion to sit by your fireplace and keep the mice from eating holes in your best Chinese rug! You might even keep him around to frighten the landlord. BUY A GNU Bears are selling for the unheard-of price of twenty-five dollars and finding no homes. Why be content with a mere bear rug in your home when you can have a real live熊 for your children to play with? African elands are selling for five hundred dollars each. Couldn't we interest you in a nice eland? 15 On the Hill Years Ago What shall they do with the animals? We have an idea. Send them to Africa so that Doctor Sutton and the Johnsons will have something to shoot at. Or a still life painting. Or America, then the game hunters wouldn't even have to go to Africa to do their killing.
