Humming Bird Sex Life Lulls
Student Into Hypnotic Sleep
'"Once upon a morning dreary,
while I pondered weak and weary,
intensely over a volume of for
gotten lore, while I nooded nearly
napping there came a gentle tap
ping, tapping, and my classmate
began an ugly snore."
And why shouldn't he? Miss
Garfinkle McSnoot was lecturing
to her class on the sex life of a
male humming bird. This would
have ordinarily proved very in
teresting but Miss McSnoot had
lulled us all into a queer sort of
hypnotic sleep.
Voice Carries On
Her voice went on . . . "and so
you see, even a humming bird has
desire for family life ... in fact
he gets a buzz out of it like any
body else." "Tee-hee." This only
deepened my classmate's snore
from the gentle sucking noise of
water going down a drain to the
delicate roar of a male lion as he
springs for the kill.
But that is only one type of
"teacher that my classmate and I
have to suffer through.
Hale and Hearty Type
There is always the hale and
hearty type who always likes to
start his class off on the wrong
foot by telling an anecdote. (After
they've heard the joke they need
an antidote, not an anecdote.) For
instance, "one boy stuck a drill
into another boy and said, 'Am I
boring you?' "
Then there is the speech instructor.
You go to class with a 20 min
ute speech which you have spent
three hours on. You are all ex
cited and emotionally geared to go
up before the class to talk for 20
minutes on a subject which could
not possibly take more than a
paragraph. You are eager to go . . .
to talk your way through to a
possible 5 if you are lucky. Cold,
clammy perspiration gathers on
your hands . . . it's now or never
to give your speech on "How I
Spent the Summer" or "Why I
Believe in Democracy" . . . well,
it's never 'cause Mr. Frank Flap
pinglips, the speech instructor,
gives a dynamic lecture on speech.
This goes on from day to day . . .
ad infinitum. Never before have
you talked so little and listened so
much.
Few Listen
At the end of the day you go
home, put on a suit and spend all
night painting the town red. What I
about sleep . . . did you say . . .
why I've been sleeping all day.
You'll have to excuse me, I've
got to go for an hour snooze in
psychology now.
Faculty
Notes
BY JACK TIIORNBIRG.
Something new has been added
to the Rag. This is it. "Faculty
Notes" will appear twice a week
and will deal with the doings of
the university faculty, their as
sistants, and even an occasional
graduate student.
We will be most interested in
books and research, but we hope
to find a place for anything that
is unusal and interesting. It is
hoped that this column will give
us all a chance to know our uni
versity better, and to get a better
idea of the work of our instruc
tors. Dr. Alexis, for instance, is de
voting his spare time to the studv
of the Russian language. This is
a big year in the history of Rus
sian at the university, for this
is the first time that two years
of Russian have been offered and
therefore the first time that the
language requirement could be
met in this language.
Dr. Alexis points out that Rus
sian is increasingly important due
to our strained relations with the
USSR. It may surprise many of
twr readers to learn that while
the Russians use Russian inter
preters, we are forced to use Rus
sians as Russian interpreters, due
to the shortage of Americans who
know the Russian Language.
Dr. Alexis believes that it is
very important that our colleges
and universities to do something
about this shortage, and is doing
his part to eliminate it.
