partment, inspired by the torren
tial floods of last week. By the
author’s admission, the composi
tion is worse than worthless, but
is presented as a sort of oddity—
or wonder. Originally spaced into
surrealistic poetry, the “thing”
has been ran together into one
long stanza, further adding to its
value as “stranger than fiction.”
After this printing, it will rest in
the college Museum, except when
it is loaned out to the State Insane
Asylum:
RAIN
Rain is a combination of water
and thunder. When it does, you
can’t stop it, and when it doesn’t,
you want it to. April is like July
without it and July is like April
with it—when April isn’t like July.
Rain makes you want to sleep,
even when you have to study,
which you should, even if you can’t
go any place—that is, if you know
it is raining. Rain is very danger
ous on accounta because some peo
ple don’t have enough sense to
stay out of it, but that is prob
ably because they don’t know it’s
raining anyway. I like rain better
than any other kind of wet weath
er because it makes me do things
I wouldn’t if it didn’t, which is a
very good influence. What do you
think
I think (censored), and I’m gonna
go look.
English Sailors Visit Campus
While on Leave from Vessels
Monday two sailors from His
Majesty’s Royal Navy of Britain
were on the campus spending part
of their furlough inland just for
a change of scenery. They were
Seamen Frank Pearson and Les
lie Hardware, both of Yorkshire
(the town that made the pudding
famous) England.
One thing noticeable was the
fact that neither said anything
without first thinking it over very
carefully. Said the one, “If we
were to accidentally make a state
ment which contained even the
faintest trace of information, the
Admiralty would be furious.”
When the two met Lord Halifax
in Houston last week end, he ask
ed them how long they would be
here. Frank evaded the question
by answering, “I really don’t
know, sir.” Halifax came back
with, “Good, I don’t want to know,
you don’t want to know, and don’t
tell anybody!”
Seaman Hardware formerly
sailed on one of the 50 American
destroyers which the United States
gave to England. Seaman Pearson
has just recently come out of
China where he was stationed.
Pearson was somewhat surprised
when visiting on an American bat
tleship to have hot coffee served
to him in one of the gun turretts
when the gunner pushed a buzzer.
On the British ships the crews
prepare their own meals, instead
of having ship’s cooks who attend
to all mess duties.
Both seemed apologetic that
they could not talk more about
their experiences in the war. Les
lie said in his friendly British ac
cent that he has some hair raising
tales to tell, and as soon as the
war is over he plans to combine
them all into a book.
— ELECTION —
(Continued from Page 1)
Vannoy, Infantry Band, was ruled
out of the race for Battalion Edi
tor because he will not be able
to graduate with his class next
year.
Other candidates who will be
elected by groups other than the
general student body were also ap
proved by the elections committe.
Dave Pinson and Walter Cardwell
were declared eligible to be voted
on by the Agriculture ouncil for
the Agriculturist editorship. E. A.
Gordon and C. H. Wallace will be
voted upon by the Engineers Coun
cil for the editorship of the En
gineer Magazine.
Election of Senior Representa
tive on the student actviities com
mitte was necessitated this year
because the junior representative
elected last year is no longer in
school. Normally the person elect
ed as junior representative serves
a two year term.
More than 5,000 students signed
up for war training or war in
formational courses offered by the
University of Michigan this se
mester.

hand, and left to himself. He has
proved his worth by keeping the
number of prairie dogs down to
a comfortable figure. These pic
turesque, but harmful animals have
caused the death of many a fine
cow pony who unknowingly have
stepped into one of their burrows,
and subsequently had to be shot.
Some beneficial aspects of these
snakes may seem far-fetched and
trivial, but why go out of our way
to kill a snake because we person
ally have received no benefit
through our connection with snake-
dom? Even though snakes carry
poison they do not go out of their
way to use it; primarily it is used
for procuring food, and second
arily for self-defense—not for
malicious attacks.
Medicine finds many uses for
snake venom—haemophilia, a di
sease characterized by the failure
of an individuals blood to clot, can
be readily controlled by injections
of Cotton-Mouth Water Moccasin
venom. Cobra poison has been
used in nervous ailments, and it
has even been shown that rattle
snake bites have actually cured
epilepsy!
Gradually we have seen the low
ly snake raised to a niche in life
where it becomes an aid in allaying
human suffering and even death.
Snakes were created for a definite
purpose it seems; let us not kill
them unwantonly.
