ST. PATRICK'S DAY
This is the day all those of Irish heritage throughout the world stop for a minute in their work and offer homage to the name of St. Patrick, the patron saint of the old country. Many are the stories and tales of ancient celebrations but today is now regarded as semi-sacred. In the larger clites where there is a large percentage of Irish services will be held in the churches and cathedrals.
A few years ago there was much stress and suffering in Ireland and St Patrick's day was set aside as a day when the plight of four millions of people should be considered. Prayers were offered in every Irish home in both hemispheres. Today that prayer has been answered and the Irish Free state stands as a monument to the martyrs of seven centuries. Oppression has driven Irish from their homes until today there are more Irish in many countries than in Ireland. They are a wandering race', but a proud race, filled with the spirit of loyalty to all that is good and honest; loving with a love that is all powerful and hating with a hate that knows no fear. Strains of the blood run through every country and no matter how small may be a person's Irish heritage it is the Irish heritage which dominates his every action. Wherever a drop of Irish blood appears it always says, "And if I wasn't Irish I be ashamed of myself." No; you never find one who denies his kinship.
Irishmen may kiss the blarney stone for good luck, but the average big league ball player in the United States would much rather kiss the old horse-ride.
THE THIRD PARTY
The organization of a third party on the University campus, composed entirely of non-fraternity men, promises to be an interesting and possibly a profitable experiment. It has been some time since the non-fraternity men have organized to the exclusion of all Greeks, especially when two well organized parties, composed of both fraternity and non-fraternity men, are in existence.
In the past, fraternity men have been about equally distributed between the two parties, leaving the deciding vote to the non-fraternity men. If the new party is all that it claims to be and is not simply an outgrowth of one of the existing parties and not backed or sponsored by one of the existing parties, it is very possible that it may show considerable power in the next Hill election.
President Hoover plans a sea trip, probably feeling that he is pretty well inured to stormy waters after the squalls he weathered with the late congress.
TWO STRANGE IRISHMEN
Once there were two Irishmen, neither of whom was named Pat or Mike. They had never been policemen. They did not say "beelarens" or "s贮ure and Oh will" nor "shillahal". No one had ever seen either smoking a pipe. One did not say canny to the other. "Did you over't hear'r the story'r of the electric'ric railway?" Neither had ever been to a fremont's ball, a serving maid's sea, or a section hands' dance. They had not married big robust
Celtic women who threw rolling pins, cooked Flannigan stew, and pulled the hair of the Jewish lady living in the next flat. Neither favored green neckties. They were not romantic. They were not church-goers. They never got in street rims; they never shot caps; they did not grab about their heritage from St. Patrick. No neighbor ever remembered seeing a pig in either gentleman's parlor. On Shunmrock Day they walked soherly about their business, their garb free from the warmth engendered by a dash of green on their coat lapels. In short, they exemplified modesty and quietness. They did not even read James Joyce's "Ulysses." Then, one day, Patrick O'Bannon who lived in the same block called for a cheer for Ireland. There was a great response: The two Irishmen of the perfect behavior frowned. Patrick O'Bannon reached with his two brawny hands and pulled at both their hair. A surprising thing happened. Their red hairs both covered themselves from their heads. Underneath, the closely cropped scalp was covered with a sandy stubble. It was later discovered that they were two Scotchmen who were living in the Irish community gathering material for a joke-book
The department of agriculture contends that a garden is a gadget to a man out of employment. How about the neighbor's chickens?
The average normal heart pumps 50 gallons of blood an hour. And those statistics were not gleaned in the spring when one's fancy lightly turns to love, either.
Chicago gangsters used a monkey recently on one of their "jobs." More proof that birds of a feather flock together.
Campus Opinion
A NON-FRATERNITY MAN LOOKS AT POLITICS
ne Daily Kansan:
The two major forces on the campus have welcomed the entrance of a third non-futility group into the field and at the present time
Since I am a freshman and have not taken a deep interest in politics nor have been induced by any faction to kick through with my vote or support, the whole situation rather provokes to my immature way of thinking.
The Kansan headlines Sunday said that the Kayahawks were organized to attack a small town and didn't have the money, the looks, or the clothes to be asked to join a fraternity, but I don't know better towards the faternity group for it.
If a line of social cleavage does exist I believe it is because the so-called non-fraternity group of subjubber and form it into a generalization of the whole instead of an individual impression. To be sure I envy the advantages offered by a fraternity, but that does not mean that non-fraternity will make it upon himself to rebel against an institution and to be beaten by its bedded in the colleges and universities of our country that the Kochawks and all their little Kayhawks can change it. The non-fraternity will and will cast my ballot for the society which will prove most democratic and representative for all classes in the country. The Pachacamae society has held a monopoly here for several years, and point to the fact that they promise and fulfil one thing in their lives — they are equally balanced with fraternity and non-fraternity men. If what they point to is true I can see no reason for them not to be interested. I also understand that the Oread party, a revamped group of the old Black Mask fraternities are asking for the support of a group that has held sway and they believe that they can run student government in as good or better manner than the
As to the Kayhawks, my roommate has told me that several of their officers ran on the Oread ticket in the battlefield and will eventually swing to that group at the psychological moment. If they do such an act they are defeating their purpose for existence and do not be overpowered. If they will be merging with a group composed of Oread fraternities. They might be better excused if they ran independently and carried on a terrible battle game or abused rights to a par with fraternities.
I am not a traitor to the group of non-fragrant men, but I can不搞仙气 with them. I have a few fraternity boys who are fighting for their rights in such matters as wearing or carrying a weapon in the lockout for stuckup noses among the boys who wear expensive jewelry, and will then brand them as snobs if they can't escape to my insignificant presence.
Sincerely yours.
A Non-fraternity Freshman

At the Recital
By Lela Hacknev
Lawrence and University music followers have found a program versatile enough for the most varied tastes of students. The program night by Gay Mayer and Lee Pattison at the University auditorium included every type of number imaginable, and the entire program was unsurpassed in musical entertainment and enjoyment.
The program was arranged in two, parts of which the last was undoubted, a favorite with the audience, although the first was done. The last group included familiar numbers such as "Turkey in the Straw," arranged by Guernsey ver-mer, solo by琴友 Chloe. This number was a descriptive one, and represented country dickers trying unsuccessfully to tune up from their usual dance. The dance was joined by others -Old Black
Joe, Swance River, and Dixie. Sometimes as many as two or three of these others were played along with the original theme.
Another favorite of the audience was the closing number, Strassus "Blue Danube Waltzes," which was played in an open performance made the composition such a favorite. Sharing honors with the closing number was the descriptive number "Le Maître," and this part was Saens. The five short sketches included the beautiful "Swan Song," and the numerous "Cuckoo in Deep Woods," and the famous "Saint-Saens was the most interesting."
One could scarely realize, throughout the entire recital, that there were two pianos being played instead of just one so perfect was the co-ordination. There was a harmonious and stormy octaves were played in perfect time and with no mixups whatsoever. Front time to time the two pianists would change piano, so that they would be able to chance to watch both of them. Melody lines would change from one piano

to the other, but the changes were so perfectly made that the audience could scarcely detect it.
Of the two artists, Mr. Maier was undoubtedly the most temperamental and his facial expressions caused much distress to him. His ability to say which of the two was the better pianist. They made no attempt to imitate the other, their musical personalities seemed to blend perfectly in feeling for each other, the actual technique of their playing.
The two artists, who are making their farewell tour, were encreed time after time to participate with encores. Besides the lighter numbers on the program, Chopin, Debussy, Bach and MacDowell numbers were also included in the utmost value and enjoyment.

It seems reasonable then, doesn't it, to believe that the manufacturer of any product to be offered to the public will see that it is worthy before he backs it with thousands . . . often millions . . . in advertising!
Advertising is merciless in its treatment of the unworthy product...it serves only to hasten its failure. No amount of advertising...no matter how skilfully done...can force a product of no merit on the public. They simply won't buy it.
You may feel perfectly assured in buying any product that is consistently advertised here in the pages of the KANSAN. Such a product has been weighed ... and found worthy. Not necessarily by us... not by any committee on advertising integrity...but by the sternest judge of the last court of merchandising appeals... the buying public!
