ST. PATRICK'S DAY
O, the Shamrock, the green, impor- tial Shamrock.
Cheson leaf
Of Bard and Chief
Old Erin's native Shamrock.
Today is the day when all good Irishmen show their true colors by wearin' of the green, "The green immortal Shamrock," as Moore speaks of it in his poem, has come to be a true representative of all Ireland.
The seventeenth day of March is celebrated all over the world as Saint Patrick's feast day. And the fact that no one knows the actual birthplace of Ireland's well-beloved patron saint makes him none the less a real Irishman. Whether he was born in Scotland, England or France is not as important as the fact that he symbolizes the unified feeling of the Sons of Erin wherever they may be.
O, the Irishman, the fiery natured Irishman!

Suppose you've noticed what just blew in? Yes, we mean that beat - in - your - face breeze that made you thankful and relieved to get inside your class room for the first time in ever so long, just so you could get away from it.
It has its advantages, though.
Women no longer need coyly apologize for their always rumped locks, because it is now an accepted style on the campus. Another thing—the slit skirt season has opened up now. And—there
Besides, think of the fine exercise for the young man. He may get to chase blocks and even lengthen into miles before "her" loss is retrieved. Maybe just the encouragement he has been needing to start him out for track. Maybe he's another Cunningham in need of a trainer. And a fashion note for the men—they can at last let off wearing that tie, because surely "she" wouldn't want you to wear it at the risk of being stabbed in the eye with it.
To be human does one have to act the fool?

"The Lord," humbly said Richard Berry Harrison. "has showed heric mercies on me in my old age." Mr. Harrison truly felt, with the deepest humility, that God had selected him to spread the Word through the theater. He was convinced that the play was dinely inspired.
It was probably due to this deep sincerity on the part of the leading actor that the play had such phenomenal success. The effect of his spiritual power on his audiences can be understood best by the following comment of one who came backstage after a performance, and refused to shake hands and cried: "I just want to look at you. You are my conception of the Lord!"

CAMPUS OPINION
I notice that JB in a recent letter to the Kansan is very much pernuded over the idea that we might some day lose our student government. He fears
Editor Daily Kansan:
In my four years at KU, I never have come across a good reason for the existence of that set-up that we have so naively named "student government." In questions that really matter the Student Council has no say that amounts to anything. It has alwayseen "playing house" knowing that their papas can make them stop whenever they make too much noise.
Pollice were called to subdue students who thronged the platforms and street in front of the Santa Fe station in Lawrence. They struggled to reach the waiting room doors. No band played. No cheerers perched on baggage wagons in an effort to inoculate the crowd with school spirit. No train was due for an hour. No automobile horns screamed. There were no automobiles!
Before the time of paved highways and automobiles, the crowds of students who besieged the Lawrence railroad stations when vacations began led to a boy scout day. Special student rates made the selting of tickets a tedious process in those days, according to W. W. Burrell, Lawrence passenger agent for the
a "faculty dictatorship." Although I pride myself on being a liberty loving individual, I don't work myself into a paroxysis of ruge or fear at the prospect of giving up my privilege of representative government. As a matter of fact, reviewing my four years on campus, I don't believe I enjoyed any such privileges to begin with. I know that the ardent politicians will exclaim that I could have exercised my right to vote, but that's saying very little—if anything. The choice of men running for office was always such that I preferred to have no hand in electing any one of them. And right now if I were offered the choice of being ruled by a "faculty dictatorship," I would be better to student council I would choose the dictatorship without very much deliberation.
Furthermore, personally I have never felt at KU. a great need for being governed. I have never known who my representative at the Student Council was and what's more I never cared. And (wonder of wonders!) I don't feel that I have missed anything and I am still standing a normal human being. The one reason for this is the rid of this student government and its rotten political intrigue and machinery is that our campus has been blessed by so-called "leaders" who, like grape-fruit, are always trying to get into the public eye. They are not happy unless they are joining some society or club or in some other way are getting into the public gaze. Exactly where these "campus leaders" are leading us has never been made clear to me. I've always tried to have a rather successful college carser (perhaps even more successful than that of our "leaders"), and yet I have never come under the influence of these dynamic intellectual giants. Right now a group of them has formed the P.S.G.L which has about as much excuse for existence as the old political parties. The things the P.S.G.L advocates can be done much better by a non-political group than by a student government. Do we need parties to have students formula; for example?
The P.S.G.L. does not advocate the scrapping of the student government because the student government offers opportunities for "leadership" and a means for getting one's name in the paper. My humble opinion is that, instead of leaders, we are developing a set of back-slapping, baby-kissing politician students. We are polishing Student Council on one hand, and a group of smug, self-satisfied reformers (who are just as bad) as we have in the P.S.G.L., on the other.

Another person outward bound has written "Good night."

The outside walls of the two stations furnish abundant evidence, however, that not all students appear just in time to swing up on the back platform of a departing train. The bricks on the north walls of both stations are almost filled with scribblings and signatures. Many have become indictant. A section of dark bricks in one place bear the name *Emily*. There are prisoners cut or draw on cell walls. An elaborate design has been carefully etched in one place and problems in arithmetic and algebra are scrawled uphill on another section. A soft lead笔ül was used in writing, "Beat K.S.A. C.-K.(Kansas State to them)." April 23, 1915, the earliest legible date, appears with "Feel Young, 13:00 cal". Three years ago the names of a girl and boy followed by the date June, 189 – October 2001 — were *Ten years*” were still visible. The inscription and names have disappeared now, but someone has subtracted the date 1893 from 1831 on white bricks.
COLLEGE FACILITY MEETING:
RAIL STATIONS WERE POPULAR BEFORE FOOTBALL WAS KING
Vol. XXXII
That the majority of students allow themselves very little time for purchasing tickets before boarding trains, the agents of both Santa Fe and Union Pacific have agreed. "Many times we have had to hold trains while we made up ticket's." Miss Mabel Jette, telegrapher for the Union Pacific station, said she would give the ones for whom we have to hold trains; older persons dislike such hurrying and are more patient when it comes to waiting for trains.

Santa Fe. Each student had to have a slip which bore his signature, validation of his enrollment in the University, and his home address. Special ticket forms had to be drawn and fastened onto the slip. The student's signature was sinister security that he was allowed to purchase the ticket. This complicated procedure served not only to tax the patience and good humor of students and ticket agents, but prevented any last minute delays for trains. When vacations began, therefore,驻民 went to the station hours before train time to get tickets.

but someone has erased her address.
A propositive member of a travelers' aid bureau secures advance advertising with the line, "See Bette for Rates on Russia." On January 2, 1923, the names of Truman Baxter and Maude Waite were bracketed on the bricks. On January 21, 1923, Maude left Washington for Kansas City. Washington, D.C., is scribbled on a brick adjacent to the one bearing the name of an Indian town. Even Huey Long's name is listed, but no address is given.

Both Lawrence railroad stations withstood the 1903 flood waters when many of the buildings around them were washed away. Employees of the railroad station were swam over the railroad tracks in great numbers, at the time of the flood. An enterprising Lawrence citizen reported that the fish must be practicing football or basket ball in the park near the station platform. The game was broken up by men in row boats who clubbed the boatboats on boots great numbers of large fish.
The Santa Fe station, erected in 1882, was originally the general office of the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Gulf Railroad. The present Union Pacific station was built 50 years ago to replace the first station which stood two miles east. The earlier building first served as the Kansas Pacific railroad station.
