ARE YOU SERIOUS? THEY'RE REALLY FISHING?
KU students seem to find time for nearly everything with the arrival of warm weather. These students find time to sit on the banks of Potter Lake and just enjoy the warmth of the sun. Maybe they are watching to see if the boats are really fishing.
What heavenly weather!
Gabriel sends spring
By JOHN HILL
Gabriel was just beginning to practice his trumpet lesson when the cherub suddenly flew into his Sanctuary.
"Master Gabriel! Aren't you the Archangel of Weather?"
"YES. WHY? Is there some trouble with the weather that the mortals are having?"
"I'm afraid so, sir," said the excited cherub, his tiny wings fluttering nervously. "Just take a look for yourself, sir, over the Edge..."
Grabriel slowly walked over to the Edge of a golden cloud, his long beard and white robe trailing behind him, and carefully peered down through the clouds at the Earth. . .
"LOOK, SIR, at the University of Kansas!" exclaimed the cherub, jumping up and down, raising small clouds of celestial mist.
The old archangel squinted down at the KU campus.
"I make it a habit not to ..."
said Gabriel, "but all right. The last time I looked," he mumbled to himself, "you'll never guess who was supposed to be dead."
"I STILL DONT SEE what you keep harping on. The weather looks beautiful to me," grumbled Gabriel.
"That's just it, sir, it's too beautiful! Look at all those mortals on Mt. Oread that have spring fever! Some are loafing around Potter's Lake and some are cruisin in garound in convertibles, and nearly all of the mortals are day-dreaming when they should be studying," said the cherub. "Look at all of those women students wasting time taking walks to enjoy the weather —"
"And look at all those male students wasting time by sitting on the rails on campus watching the women students taking walks —"
“—YOU SEE what I mean, sir? Should they have this much springtime weather so soon?”
"So soon? Why? What's the mortal date now, anyway?"
"Uh. I think it's about March 3. 1967 A.D."
"A.D. ALREADY? Hmmm . . .
I must have overslept a little last
—"
“Sir, don't you think that for the sake of their studies that they should get spring fever that comes with beautiful weather in more gradual amounts?” anxiously asked the cherub.
One more good deed, the cherub thought to himself, and I can become an Angel and get some regulation-size wings instead of these damned trainers.
"WHAT WOULD you want me to do, son? Make it rain for 40 days and 40 nights? Lord knows, there's nothing wrong with mortals getting a little spring fever. Besides, it takes me back to when I was young." mused the elderly archangel. "I remember it well . . ."
Oh no, thought the young cherub, here we go again. If I have to hear about him and his trumpet and that walls-of-Jericho bit one more time, I think I'll ask for a transfer Downstairs.
"Uh, excuse me, sir, but it is almost time for my electric harp lesson," said the cherub. "Are you sure you don't want to change KU's weather? It's awfully nice down there, and too early for spring fever."
"YOU JUST GO on and fly away now, son, and I'll run the weather," said Gabriel, patting the cherub on the top of his head, getting a handful of angel's hair. "I think I'll let them have some nice weather for a little while longer. After all, they're a pretty good bunch, and they've got such nice expressions."
"Sir?"
"You know, that expression they use that I like so well . . .
it goes 'Thank God It's—'
"OH, YES SIR, I know the one,
but that really means—"
"Now if they could just get some expressions like that for all the rest of the days of the week . . ." mumbled the archangel to himself, as he looked down upon the beautiful KU weather.
Oh, for heaven's sake, thought the cherub, and quietly flew away.
