Career Meetings To Open In Convocation Tomorrow
'Jimmy' Green Gets Smeared
Lawyers stood on the steps of Green hall this morning and surveyed the result of the latest vandalism on "Jimmy" Green.
Someone managed Sunday night to smear the statue with green, red, and silver paint, apparently calculated to look like new clothes. A crude equation was painted on the base.
The act surprised the lawyers, who had expected the foray tonight. Members of Phi Alpha Delta, honorary law fraternity, had planned to guard the statue during St. Patrick's night. They missed it 24 hours.
An annual rivalry between engineering and law students had approached a tradition when the war came along, and the whole thing began to be regarded as childish. University authorities frowned upon the custom.
Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, looked at the mess this morning and growled, "Looks like the work of bobby soxers, and there are plenty around. We blame another school for this prank and then do it ourselves."
Y.M.C.A. To Elect Officers Thursday
Shure and 'twas more than a bit o' blarney that the goodly St. Patrick gave to the folk of Eire. He performed miracles that make our own atom bomb and jet propelled planes seem as trivia and left the O'Tooles and Murhys with more tales than even Pat and Mike.
St. Patrick's Miracles In Eire Surpass Our Newest Inventions
Y. M.C.A. will elect officers from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday in the Kansas room, Ned Linegar, executive secretary said today.
Candidates for office are: president, Wilbur Noble and Bruce Bahrsur; for vice-president, Don Baumunk and Edgar Thomas; secretary, Robert Davis, Owen Wright, Art Johnson, Roger Arnold; ASC representative, Robert Thayer, Robert Franklin, and Keith Wolfenbarger; regional representative, Dean Smith and Dale Rummer.
WEATHER
Kansas—Partly cloudy today, tonight and Tuesday, with intermittent light snow today and tonight and in east Tuesday. Somewhat colder today and tonight. Lowest temperatures 23 to 27. Slightly warmer east Tuesday.
St. Patrick was commissioned by the Pope to preach the doctrine of Trinity to those Irish mauraders who had, only a few years before, held him as a slave. And from that day forward the legends began to pile up.
The first thing he did was reached Ireland was to buy a drum. He raised such a ruckus playing it that all the snakes of the land hurled themselves to their doom in the sea. That is, all but one stubborn serpent who refused to be disturbed and who suffered the fate of being turned to stone.
The first thing he did when he®
Then St. Patrick set out to convert the Irish, but they weren't so easily subdued as the snakes. He preached and pleaded but they ignored him. Finally, in contrast to his normally benign nature, he cursed the fertile lands of his enemies and they turned to swamps. He cursed their kettles and all the fire in purgatory wouldn't make them boil. He cursed their rivers and all the fish disappeared. But still his
antagonists remained unsway. In desperation, he cursed the people themselves and the earth beneath them casually yawned, swallowing them in one huge gulp.
He had his own solution for the fuel shortage, too. When he and a group of his followers found themselves stranded on a mountainside without any fuel, St. Patrick ordered the group to gather a mound of snowballs. The saint blew h is breath on the icey mass and, behold, there was a roaring campfire. What Britain would give for a man with that power today!
So maybe our generation isn't one of miracles after all. Perhaps we are just now beginning to catch up with the fifth century.
