THE SEVENTEENTH
In the good old days when Irishmen met to tell of the deeds of St. Patrick many brails followed. Flowing fanacles of Gaelic spirals always tuned the heart strings to legends, and warned some of the auid sould to action. Some contended that the good saint was born on the eighth of March others insisted that he was born on the ninth.
As the story goes, there was a heated discussion on this very subject one afternoon in Dunikirk. The bottom of the barrel was broken Everything was gone.
Then Paddy (this last name is lost in legend) suggested that the two dates be added, giving seventeen. His proposal was accepted. Today we remember the seventeenth as St. Patrick's day.
And well may we remember St Patrick. He drove the snakes from out the land; he put the Druids in the category of the past. His is a glorious name. . .
We have heard, although we are inclined to doubt it, that in Europe women go fifty-fifty on all dates. What a havenard of rest it would be for the American who has fallen in with gold diggers.
MIDNIGHT SERENADE$
A gorgeous spring moon accompanied by an invigorating breeze. "In the spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love", or is it jit infatuation? And, oh, how hard it is to stay in and study!
These symptoms of spring fever may be seen everywhere. Young men after seeing the "onc" in early, because of closing hours, do not feel inclined to go back to the study table. So they say, "Even if we can't see her, we'll call to her." And thus we have the origin of the midnight serenade. Devyma molles go out over the breezes as young men sing.
Sometimes semenates are very effective; other times they cease to be melodious and become irritating, especially when studies are predominant in the minds of many, and when the music canes for the so-called "whoope".
The music is great, but the whopee is terrible. Fair maidens would rather hear another song, and then quit and a little time to revel in thoughts of the future.
Did you ever have a class under an instructor who didn't know why there was a whistle, and the next class on the other side of the campus?
DEATH BY LAW
The means of exacting the last penalty have varied as to time and place. In some cases the criminal has been permitted a choice. He could be shot at sunrise, hung by the neck until dead, electricated, suffocated in lethal gas, or he could elect the block or guillotine.
The theories of punishment have been the same . . . deterrence, retribution and reformation. Quite obviously the death penalty can, have
nothing to do with reformation of the criminal. Even the most naïve reformer gives up when life itself goes out. Revenge is no justification for a system of punishment. Revenge impairs social responsibility. Certain it is there is no way of proving how many crimes have been committed, how many criminals have stopped in mid course because of fear. Deterrence a hard to prove.
Scotty starts enforcing the new traffic laws now. Will there be a premium on the first ticket?
THE CAMPUS SPY
"Twas hard to interview Slim Jim, the Campus Spy. We had to way-kay him. But what he said was interesting.
It was nearly midnight when he caught a gleam from a cigaret as he walked along a stretch of sand by the river. He crouched to listen to the low tones which came to him. As they sat watching the moonlight on the water they talked of the beauty of loneliness and of suicide.
Another night at the stadium two were slethed from the wind. It was the dark of the moon. They were young, but attempting to solve the realities of life, of love, and of smoking.
He observes such phenomena as a dark house with a radio calling at 13:30 in the morning. After 12 or one the only lights in the town come from street lamps and student rooms, he tells us.
He spoke of how spring affects one faculty members. He told one of the manifestations of restlessness on their part that he observed as he strolled about town all hours of the night. But ever as he poke he glanced about to see if he were overheard.
The Sophisticated Sophomore asks if anyone ever uses the Pi Phi bench.
THE GHOST
The vote is on today. The campus hopes there will be no irregularities; or was it regularities that caused the trouble in the election Thursday?
The W.S.G.A. officers have worked hard to make the second election today a fair one free from the corruption manifested in the last vote. Retention of the same candidates for today's election shows that there are no charges against them. Where was the trouble? Who did the dirty work? Reports from the mass meeting do not bring a definite understanding of all that took place behind the scenes. That there was a trade is common knowledge, but only vague rumors try to explain it. The so-called sleuthing of certain public-spirited men to ascertain the facts were unavailing. Women have kept a secret, and kept it well. Will this mystery be cleared up, or will it become another campus ghost?

No so long ago we heard a whale of a good story of what happened in the moonlight. After looking over the almance and see that that particular night was the beginning of a new moon we began to get skelpical
A new organization has started in old snow hall. Classes are held every hour of the day, but the midnight hours are the most popular. Papa Rat, Mamma Rat, and the little one attend classes and frisk about in the rooms formerly used by their enemies—men.
RATS
This is only another reason why old Snow hill should be torn down. It is an ideal breeding place for these peats. If this continues, other buildings on the campus will soon become infested with rodents because of overcrowded conditions in Snow. Rats are commonly associated with the slums. Why bring them to the University to such a level?

A TOURNAMENT OF PLAYS
Eighteen high schools, nine in class A, nine in class B. Have entered the first play tournament for April 25, 26 being sponsored by the department o dramatic arts. The plays are to be o one act, and two schools will b"smitted to enter the same play.
This tournament should promote educational interests in dramatic art in the manner in which debate creates an interest in oratorical contests. The first endeavor will be most successful.

Reports from Nohara tell us that the women there are dumb and unapologetic. The "Sophisticate" reports that they know what funny about that.
St. Louis, March 17-(UP)—An engineer will drive as an automobile, even though he will be a reality, Charles L. Lawrence, designer of the Wright Whirlwind.
Real Foolproof Airplane Will Be Developed Soon
"You will steer these planes to the right or left with an automobile wheel, just as you would a car, and you can move it more force," Lawrence commented.
"You will go up or down simply by pulling or pushing the wheel and the airbags will be in perfect control in every position and at any speed, even
Although he admitted the present day craft is imperfect, Lawrence emphasizes that the airplane, "when in a poor wind, makes a sound means of transportation."
Construction of the airplane motor and frame have been improved to meet new requirements and crashes are due to bad judgment of the pilot," the motor expert be-

"You Americans might make fun," he said, of the habit of our native women of wearing large ear rings and other ornamental jewelry and other primitive jewelry.
Lolbagla himself was sporting a red and an Arabic arab in addition to correct afternoon attire. But he paid no attention to the inconsistency and the difference.
At the Recital
"Yet look out there on Fifth Avenue and every woman you see is more ornamented than are our women, Clothing itself is merely decoration. Very little it is in useful. And our women are not notably painted or decorated."
"Take your dances—certainly no loss aboriginal than ours. And in other things you behave in that way, you would permit. You people, for instance, indulge in groundless goosepink, certainly as cruel as any of my brothers spread a scandal that he could not substantiate his claim of right and he would never talk again."

"Consider your laws in general. You make laws about everything so that you have built up this compass of law. Your laws are not enforced - or at least occasionally. We have our trial court rules to guide our legal defended punishment is fair and sure."

"Americans often express horror at our practice of polygamy. I say it takes a half dozen wives and be true to them either than take one wife with divorce or have a wife with divorce and allimony is not as wholesome as twenty wives without divorce."
Lolanda himself had six wives, the marriages taking place after his first excursion into foreign lands. Adventures in Africa led him to his way to the African coast and shipped a freighter for Southeastland. He has since returned for several years.

"I occasionally get a nastigain," he said, "for the country where there are no reents, no taxes, no shoe bills and very little work."
The program of compositions played yesterday afternoon by Guy Crispin Simpson, A. A. G. O., was shown, on the part of the organist, an understanding command and interest in the vapeers were locally interesting because Mr. Simpson formerly studied music at University College, who also been a pupil of the American organist, Riemenschneider, and of Professor Degreed of the Conservatory.
The CAFETERIA
The "Allegro" from "Sixth Symphony" (Widor), which opened the program, showed a strength which called for a maximum of performance. In contrast to it, the "Stella Matutina" Dolle is followed, bowled with a griped, wide-foot as calming as a matutinal. The vce movement from "Second Trio Chair" to "Tripod Chair" character, with the usual interpretation of technique and counterpoint character, with the usual interpretation of technique and counterpoint character.
"Le Vallon Calme" (Cellier) formed an exquisite minor picture, its soft, plushive texture and a pastoral. The "Prelude in E flat" (Bach) called for the utmost in organ volume and sound. The second part is either enigued or frightened the listener, according to his degree of preference for losing himself in music.
"Love Song" one of the organist's own compositions, was a lovely andante, with an appealing minor melody.
The program was closed with "Precise and Pugue in G Minor" (Digres). The program was continued, of accompaniment, used against a slower, somewhat monotonic melody. The same effect the more studied concert effects and crescendo treatment of the instrument was applied.

Recently in the W. S. G. A. election, some of the candidates identified as members and members election committees, prompted by the Dean of Women, halted the irregular "irregular"
The why and whereof for the irregularity, was all kept a secret until the next night when a mass meeting of the women was called, the rules and regulations concerning election procedures for balloting or Monkey inaugurated.
If such a procedure had been carried out in a civil form of government, the voters, on hearing the art of voting, would have taken out a "mandamus," asking the civil court to demand that the ballots be saved and used, and that he should be held and if not, a reason for the withholding of them be made known. If the election committee and the judge would have promptly been placed in jail for contempt of court, and a judgment of contempt of court, they would have been made against them. The rules and regulations concerning elections, as read in the mass
The rules and regulations concerning elections, as read in the mass meeting, fail to appear in the K book's "Constitution of the W. S. G.

topped them both. The voters feel that their's was confidence misplaced, when they backed the leaders.
As far as political parties are concerned, if there were any operating before the election, then we know. And as long as the voters are accused of having combinations, and since it is no particular disgrace, they will make good the rumors and be good to the party that dropped it would have become no worse. But after the next election, the votes undoubtedly will show further "irregularities" as a result of more unified competition of straight party vote.
