EAU CLAIRE, WISCONSIN (Continuedfrom page 149) ceding speech) Har-rr-rumph If there arc no more announcements. I should like to call a meeting of all the young ladies here in the auditorium right now. (Nodding to men students) You’re excused (One of the main attractions of this delightful little performance is the mental confusion of the audience as it tries to figure out what a girl would do who (1) was named Mary ' Somebody.” und so was to report to the office immediately after assembly. (2) was supposed to stay for the girls' meeting, (3) was one of those who was to report to Dr. Davenport's office immediately, etc., and (4) was a member of the W.A.A and was to have her picture taken immediately, etc., and (5) was a member of the debate squad, which was to meet in Mr. Donaldson's room immediately—you know the rest.) Can Animals Think? Can animals think’ 1 was asked. I went to the biologist. He said. “A starfish placed upon its back always uses the same two arms to right itself. When the two arms are incapacitated, the starfish learns, after one hundred and eighty trials, to right itself with the other arms Did the starfish think? Go to the psychologist.” he advised me, for he is more capable of judging this than I am. I went. Can animals think? I asked. He answered. l ogs dream. Isn't that thinking? All animals form images, and that's thought. Animals think concretely; but they form no concepts. To form concepts. which arc abstract ideas, applied to different situations. a language is needed Creatures have no lan- guage. and man has been unable to develop one for them; therefore they do not think abstractly as we do. That's what divides man from animals. However, some people claim animals have a language we can't understand He opened a book and read me the talk of the Elgcrfcld horses: Finally. Mr. Krall. noticing that horses tapped out of lessons. took down their tappings to sec if he could make anything out of them. Sure enough! Although the discourse was at times as incomprehensible as the first babblings of an infant, nevertheless there were fragments that could be understood. One day Krall told Muhamed that he was going to give him carrots: ‘Funuf (i.e., funf) replied Muhamed spontaneously. At another time he replied: 'lohn. hfr. gbn' (whann hafer geben —John gives oats) One morning when Zaril had shown himself lazy, his companion was asked. Warum was Zrif nicht licb’ and Muhamed answered. Weil vaul isd' (because he is lazy). ” 'And why is he lazy? 'Weil r sagt begin bwul nijd wisn' (because he said at the beginning that he didn s want to know anything). 1 went home thinking. I looked at my dog. With one paw uplifted, he glanced at me once and then would look no more. He knew I was staring at him; yet he would not risk a glance, but went on looking at the empty landscape. Do unimals think?

The Wind The Northwind moans around the house tonight; The leafless trees lift phantom arms against the stormy sky— Cold and snow and voices from the silence: Aye. the voices of friends now vanished. Memories of halcyon days now gone forever. The whispered echoes from a myriad human hearts I'hat lived and loved and perished long ago— Prisoners of the eerie wailing of the wind All things are dead and I am king. Tis twilight, and the gentle breeze of Spring Is sweet with the breuth of apple bloom. Mingled with the cricket's cheerful vesper song. The chanting of frogs in the distant swamp. The thrill of the mghthawk's startled cry. Comes the pensive melody of the wind in the pines. A song of love and life and hope 'I'hat knows the world is always young - What matters then though the coming Autumn's close Shall find me one with the bleak and winter wind’ CAM. denly from somewhere.

Fearlkss Journalism One portly but young member of the faculty sat solidly on the upper-floor window ledge, his feet dangling over the edge. He was writing laboriously what seemed to be a play or u reading of some sort. Every time a tiny tip-tap- of heels went up or down the stairs, he glanced up quickly, then wrote something down.
