PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1 THE KANSAN COMMENTS St. Patrick's Day Is Remembered By Irish Everywhere With the news from Dublin that the Eire or Northern Ireland border would be closed to tourists, many sons of Erin are sorely disappointed this St. Patrick's Day. Dublin hotels were booked to the limit with reservations made by North Irelanders for the holiday. However, Irishmen the world over will honor their patron saint who lived more than 1500 years ago. A recognized holiday in the United States, St. Patrick's Day has been symbolized by the "wearin' it the green" and other Irish customs. A Christian bishop 1512 years ago, St. Patrick has become the subject of many miraculous tales and legends. Tales told by an Irishman about his patron saint remind one of the stories of Paul Bunyan or of Baron Munchausen. St. Patrick has been accredited with banishing snakes and toads from Irish soil, and as the story goes, night did not fall for a 12-day stretch following his death. No other man is as well known and well loved by the Irish as St. Patrick. St. Pat Lived in 400 A.D. History is rather vague concerning the exact dates and facts of his life, and much of what is stated as fact is mere probability. His birth date is placed somewhere between 373 and 389, and, while the day of his death is set as March 17, the year is either 461 or 493. He is presumed to have reached the age of 106. British-born, Sucat was his Celtic name, and Patricius was probably added after the Catholic custom. When a boy of 16, he was stolen and enslaved by the Irish for six years. Much later, he returned to Ireland, an ordained priest and missionary, and became Bishop of Ireland in 432. His fame lay in his organizing ability, his powerful will, and his enthusiastic, tireless energy. During his lifetime, Ireland began to turn toward Catholicism, and he personally baptized 12,000 persons and founded 360 churches. Wherever Irishman may be, in Londonderry or Dublin, in Ulster or at the University, they will remember Erin's patron saint today. —R.T. Stockton and Singers To Appear at PTA Dean F. T. Stockton of the School of Business as speaker, and several University singers will give a program before the Junior High PTA, Monday at 7:45 p.m., in the auditorium of Old High.

M. His home is Baxter Springs. Rock Chalk Talk Telephone numbers were exchanged also: V-12's in PT8 had their first taste of women's hell week Thursday evening when the Sigma Kappa pledge class called on them en masse, each with an egg to be signed. According to the game, every girl had to have 20 PT8 signatures on her egg or a signature representative of every branch of the service on the Hill and one officer. The long speech each Sigma Kappa pledge is giving when she answers the phone this week is prefaced by the announcement, "I am a fishworm." The long line of figures after that is her draft number. Sharp eye for business: Ann Crabtree of Harman Co-op went to the Kappa house for dinner Thursday evening. After the meal and a few hands of bridge, she started to leave, but her coat, which had been hung in the back mail By MARY MORRILL *** room was gone. Her hostesses scoured the entire house—but still no coat. The cleaners had picked it up. Oh, for a television set: Mary Margaret Gaynor, Alpha Micron Pi reporting student, called the Sig Alph house for society news. A Phi Gam answered. "Nope," he said, "none here. Sig Alphs all died of food poisoning a week ago.—But I'll talk to you 'til some of the Phi Gams get back." The conversation was progressing well when the boys arrived. Boist-trous male laughter followed. Also side comments which the reporter could not help but get. Having left the shower to answer the phone, her Phi Gam friend, it seemed, was standing quite nude in the circle of boys. Mary Margaret would not finish the conversatoin until he put on some pajamas.

He admitted that their schedule here had been "rough and tough," but he told them that it was only to prepare them for "rougher and tougher" duties which lie ahead. Betty Cohagen, who has appeared many times on the Navy "Happy Hours," entertained the men with two popular vocals, and the 18th's own trio, Jo Lucero, Egon Hanson, and Ronald Hill, sang three numbers for the men. R. S. Bowers, MM3c, Toledo, Ohio the trainee commander of the division during its period here, was also honored at the banquet for his record at the school. Music Featured L. D.
