Cast of "Isabel" to Keep Training for Exciting Race
Participants Must Follow Footsteps of Athletes in Preparation for Event
"It has been found necessary for part of the cast of 'Isabel', the musical comedy to be presented on Wednesday and Thursday of next week, to go into training. They will be given the same care and be expected to be in bed as early as the football or basketball man."
In the final score of the show a two mile race is run upon the stage and ten runners must cross the long stage seven or eight times at top speed. In the first rehearsal of the thrilling race the men played out before the race was completed. It is expected that the team will overcome C27, 281, and endurance for if he falls down and loses the race the plot will be snooked.
Two attractive features have been added to the program. A male quail tetus composed of Bob Durand, cl27 Michael Gillies, and John F. Howe and Andrew Poppyjej, **28** will add hymn to the evenings entertainment. This group was accidentally discovered by the managers of the production company that will soon cast its modestly and appear.
The women in the "Alice from Dallas" chorus are also called on for unusual exertion. They must do the black bottom dance which requires a great deal of stomping and waving of the a.m.s. In rehearsals the women have become so winded they have to dance with their faces after their舞衣. They must keep the same training rules as the men in the race.
The second new feature is to be some collegiate acrobatic stunts by Jimmy Patterson, c.27, and George Callahan, spc. These men are training for their stunt and promise something wholly new and different from any acts of a similar nature ever presented before a University audience.

Mr. Crooks has been described by critics as the young Americana artist with a voice of pure gold, according to a book in *dean* of the School of Fine Arts.
Mr. Crooks is not well known in this section of the country. He was born in the east, and at the age of 10, shared bonsors with Mme. Schmans-Heinck before a crowd of 14,000 at a large concert as a boy soprano as a lead New York church for several years.
During the World War he collected in the 628th aero squadron, and says that he believes the strenuosity of the war was particularly in the development of his voice.

During the summer of 1925 he sang in Europe with success at London Vienna, Munich and Berlin.

Browsing Room Improved
Library's Lounging Place Will Have New Furniture
Several new pieces of furniture have been added to the library browsing room at the east end on the third floor. More furniture has been ordered, including tables, chairs and divans. There is now a large table, eight straight legs, and three taller chairs. The walls are lined with book shelves.
It is the intention to fill the shelves with books of fiction of a less serious nature than the reference books. The shelves will be open to any student, who may go and select anything he wishes and read it in the room. The books probably will not be checked out.
Graduate Joins Aviation Service
Ronald R. Walker, c26, who was prominent in various school activity here last year has joined the United State aviation service at Brook's field, San Antonio, Texas.
The only possible trouble with the plan will be that students will use the comfortable furniture to lounge and relax, but not in the proper purpose of the room. It is to be a place for students who have a few minutes on their hands, and wishing to spend time there with friends around and select some interesting novel reading it in comfort.
Walker was cadet captain of Company A in the R, O, T, C. unit. He was a member of Scabbard and Blade, national military fraternity, and had attended the coast artillery camp at Fortress Morrove, Va.
The annual "Kid" party, which is given by Dr. and Mrs. S. B. Braden for the students of the Christian church, will be hold Friday evening from 8 to 12 in Myers hall. All those in attendance have been asked to dress as children.
Irish Free State Joyfully Welcomes St. Patrick's Day
Nation Celebrates Holiday Free of Parliament for First Time in History
United States Dublin, Ireland. Although there is some doubt regarding the actual date and place of birth of St. Patrick, the date of 327 is generally accepted. Some historians claim he was French, his name being the Latin Patricius. He was born in England and as a slave in Ireland, but escaped after six years, returning to France as a missionary.'
Dublin, March 17—Ireland today celebrated St. Patrick's Day—the 1535 anniversary of the birth of the famous saint—for the first time under the English Parliament given the Irish Free State by the Imperial Conference.
Although actually free for nearly six years, the Free State did not enjoy the technical status of a Dominion of the British Empire until the formula of the Imperial Conference laid down the future title of the English Parliament as that of "Great Britain and Northern Ireland."
This smallest of the "community nations" was the first to assert its rights as a dominion in demanding that the official representative of the King appointed to its domains should be one of its own people and to prevent any more friction between Great Britain and France. Finally, formerly a Nationalist Party leader, was appointed the first Governor-General in December, 1922.
Healy has successfully filled that difficult position—the only remaining link between the Free State and the part of the Empire across the Irish Sea which she fought for years—ever since his first appointment.
Although the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921 established the status of the Irish Free State "in relation to the Imperial Parliament and Government to be that of the Dominion of Canada," it is pointed out that Canada only received technical technical status. By the recent action of the Imperial Conference.
Prof. E. Marron Johannes, A. B. '16,
chairman of the department of
journalism at the University of Minnesota,
is conducting a student tour in
Europe this summer. The party will
visit eight European countries.
Harriet McClure, c28, who was called to her home in Kansas City last week on account of the illness of her mother, has returned to school.
The Irish Free State enjoys the same membership and representation in the League of Nations Assembly which the other Dominions do. Some politicians believe that South Africa and sometime afterward the other Dominions, will follow the Free State's lead in demanding that one of its states be annexed to the King's representative in their country. Dublin and the rest of Southern Ireland began early the usual celebrations of Ireland's greatest national holiday and by early this morning the festivities were in full swing.

Parking Regulations Are Misunderstood, Saves Men's Adviser
Present Rules Must Be Obeyer Under Penalty of Fine, Dawson Warns
There has been a prevalent misunderstanding concerning the use of the parking space in back of the Chemistry building, according to Prof. F. M. Dawson, men's student at the University; the space in back of the building is to be used for parking purposes only by professor and other employee of the University," said Professor Dawson, "but on the contrary, there is no discrimination between the two kinds of parking building or any other parking space on the campus."
According to the present parking rulings, any car with either a permanent or temporary University license is permitted on the Administration building, on the road back of the commons, on the east side drive of Fraser Hall, or on the large space back of Marvin hall, between the shops and the building. Any violation of the parking rule causes one of three warnings. The first warning is in black print on a red card; the second is in white print on a white card; the third warning is in black print on a red card, and is an order for the offender to be personally present at a meeting of the committee in charge of parking at a designated hour and place. This last is an order from the University authority that the driver would be treated as any other obedience of University rules. A revoking of a license or a fire may be the penalty imposed.

Governor Is Not to Receive New Car; Senate Paring House Bills
Appropriation of 1927 Will Exceed 1925 Mark by More Than Million
At 2:30 p. m., today the state legislature was still deadlocked on the ap propriation measure for the University.
(United Press)
The senate for the first two days has been doing some effective paring of the house executive and judicial bills. There has been a cut of $20,600 of the contingent fund of the public service committee and there has been some drastic reduction in items for the state Board of Health.
Topics, March 17.—Appropriation by the 1927 legislature will exceed by more than $1,000,000 the 1925 appropriation. Some of the members, including William Shewn, chairman of the House ways and means committee, fear they will run two million in excess of the 1925 figures. Much depends upon the final outcome of the conference committee that has spent more than $300 million building house together on the state school apportionment. Approximately 8,265,000 is at stake in the dead lock at the present time.
Apparently there will be no appropriation of $4,600 for an automobiles for the governor. The state has put its foot on the plan to allow the state bank commission a new and larger apartment for its offices.
The one bill before the House today that is receiving close attention from all employees is the measure giving a bonus of $25 to each of 228 employees of the house. The house is expected to pass the bill.
