Down The Hill-
Ode To Seniors
(Editor's note: The following whimsical bit of writing appeared in the University Daily Kansan on May 23, 1953. The author, Chuck Zuegner, recently passed his oral examinations for a master's degree in journalism.)
Gimme that degree, I wanna go, go! Fed up with teachers, bleachers, class notes, campus votes, test tubes, classroom rubes, final exams, fine arts hams, text books, book nooks, and faculty schnooks.
Wanna go to work, wife, mother, or dog; gimme a paycheck, uniform, get me out of this smog. Through with learning. Wanna do, did, does, get it done. Wanna earn, not learn.
Enough 'o these ideas. Wanna put me down to some practice, pleezu.
Gotta get me out to meet 'em and greet 'em. And tell 'em and sell 'em. They don't care about Pline and Winnie. They want pounds and gallons and lumber feet. Know how to build and pave a street. Thought and told are through, bought and sold are new.
Thinkers are out; computers are in. Figure the
wage with a new kind of gauge, forget the trends intellectual bends. Run, don't walk down the venerable Hill. Too many bennies, late-study pills.
Think? Become a sphinx. Egypt is done; drive is our fun. Books we'll condense and let 'em be, propped in a row above the TV. Why books when we got TV? And a degree.
Let 'em fix the plot, follow it through. Ugh, heap Injun, he's a schmoo. Operas, of course, but soap and horse.
Culture? Well, sure, but not a big dose. Time's short; we-ve got to cut close.
Maybe at sixty, think and reflect. And decide on the ways that better all men. Service to men? Customers first.
India, China, spots on the sun. No import now; life has begun.
Does the other matter? Darn tootin' it does. It matters as much as a good home and love. Free choice is the arrow; the intellect the bow, to be used as best and as right as we know.
Got to think, chug-a-lug, think, chug-a-lug, think, chug-a-lug, to serve ourselves and the guy next door and the Guy up above.
Our good friend Elred is somewhat alarmed at the approach of finals.
"Gaaaah!" quoth Elrod in alarm
"Gaaaahh!" quoth Eldro in alarm.
"Gaaaahh?" we queried, "But Elrod,
why are you so alarmed at the
approach of finals?"
"Haaaagl!" he replied, which is gaaaah spelled in reverse. "I am alarmed because of the lack of time
to study for said finals. Be it known that a myriad of finals fall on the same day, all of which constitute a major portion of my (chuckle) grade."
"Your chuckle grade?" we queried.
"Baffoon!" he expostulated
Dawson
"Do you suggest a longer period?"
"Many of my courses require a good deal of preparation before the final examination. I am wont to find adequate time. One week just ain't enough." he said, lapsing into low English.
"Verily, that I do. Methinks two
weeks instead of one, like some noble institutions in the League of Ivy."
"But." we rejoined.
"But what? It is unfair to place such a burden upon those who must needs be making an 'excellent' on their finals to pass. Particularly," he added, lowering his voice, "when MY grades are not up to those of par."
"In short, you are mocking finals week?"
“True.” And with that Elrod shouldered his Insects and Man notebook, his Marriage and Family text, his Social Dance handy guide (with illustrations), and lept off to the Hawk for some serious study.
One of our partners in crime is amazed at his good vision acquired through the use of some new spectacles. His sight is so much improved that he has broken his engagement with a lady friend.
With all the rain we've had recently, perhaps having an Indian institute nearby isn't such a good idea after all.

Endurance races are known as marathons because, in 490 B. C., an Athenian courier, ran an incredible 150 miles in two days to get Greek reinforcements who ultimately defeated the Persians in a battle on the Plain of Marathon.
Hippos have a remarkable ability to run along the bottom of a stream, from which they rise to breathe fresh air. They have been known to remain under water for 15 minutes, but normally they come up every two or three minutes.
