THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
St. Patrick Was an Engineer But He Started an Egg Battle To Get Even With Blackstone
the place was one of the outlying precincts of Heaven, and the time was in the early hours of the night before the morning afterward. Saint Patrick and the exalted spirit of Sir William Blackstone sat and glared at each other. Now Saint Patrick is the patron saint of the engineers, and Blackstone's lawyers would have great difficulty in gaining admittance to the Pearly Gates if Blackstone were not there to "plead their case."
"well, sir, are ye goin' to let the vandals do it?" qu7 answered Saint Patrick. His countenance was as black as a canvas that he glanced meanly earthward.
"Patrick," answered Sir William colly, "you and I have long been friendly rivals, and I do not desire to disrupt our good feelings, but this thing which your charges are about to present to the public is in a way very helpful." The blood mounted to Williams's face and he pounded the golden table in approved court-room fashion. "You call these men vandal's," he shouted, "and I will not dispute you, but neither will I call them back from them at that thing which your engineers intend to display to the world."
Both subsided and, for a time,
seemed absorbed in the doings upon
the earth beneath them, but both spiritual chins were set.
Far, far below them, on a little hillock, which the people of the earth called Mount Oread, the slumbering fire of a fad between the charges of Patrick and the sons of Blackstone, was about to break into flame. It was the evening before the annual Engineer parade, and the floats were all in readiness. He returned aboard that the K. U. lawyers were to receive a severe "razing" at the hands of theslide rule disciples.
Under cover of the rainswet night, a little group of men—wandalls, Saint Patrick had called them —recept across the campus and gained admittance to the building where rested several of the engineering floats intended for the parade of the next morning. The team was in full training and finally they came upon one which seemed to be the object of their search. Just what it represented the world will never know; it is enough to say that it seemed to be a miniature pillared building and that the creatures on the steps—well, at any rate, it had aroused the ira of Sir William Blackstone. The axe and sword were placed on the floor done the float had the appearance of a Kansas City "soft drink partner" after Chief Edward's squad his finished its work.
Now this was too much for Saint Patrick, and, jumping to his feet, he shook his fist under the judicial nose of Blackstone, and then and there sore stern vengeance against the sons of Sir William. The saints parted and each went to his respective mother-of-pearl bedest.
Saint Patrick, having done his bit.
To Run Entire Nation From One Electric Plant
Luxemburg, May 22.—(By mail to United Press.) Preliminary negotiations are in progress for the biggest scheme of electrification that has been attempted. Scheduled to be started next year, the plan is to install sufficient electric plant to furnish all the motive power required for the lighting services, the railroad, tramways, facades and other infrastructure for making electricity the one and only mechanical power in the Grand Duchy.
The scheme arises out of an understanding, given some time ago by the government of the duchy, to supply the town of Luxemburg (the capital) with electric current. The duchy contains a thousand square miles of territory and has a population of a quarter of a million.

ascended again to his outlying precinct within the gates of Heaven. Early that morning he met Sir Wiliam as he passed and passed in un up without speaking.
Shortly after 10 o'clock of that eventful morning down on the earth, a great crowd of rough-appearing individuals left their abode on the western limits of the University of Kansas campus, and bore down upon Green Hall with yells capable of striking terror into the enemy. The most ancient warpels of Black Army naval pockets抱 with missiles of various sorts; gas bombs, eggs, many of which were in a most regrettable condition, and great balls of olly mud were among the vicious weapons of the determined mob.

The attacking force gathered in front of the domicile of justice, and shrieked defiantly at the inmates. A preoccupied lawyer stepped out of the door and started, nonchalantly to light a cigarette, and then the lawyer's face took on the saunter-tinted glow of a healthy monetette. The fight was on. Eggs, mud and bursting stench-bones were buried against the walls and pillars of the lawyer's domicile. A sickening roar of the court led to the greatest of the Hun war chemists, arose and was carried all over the campus.

The lawyers rushed into the fray with canes and paddles, and tried to fight the engineers back. They manned a fire-extinguisher and turned it upon the flamell-shirted buildup, but it was all of no avail. The engineers swarmed into the building where positioned the vaulted ceiling bombs in front of the class-rooms. Then they left the building and marched to the west.
As St. Patrick watched the skirmish he nodded approvingly and chucked to himself. Vengeance was his. Now Sir William Blackstone stone lapted that morning, and was awakened by a strange and disagreeable odor which seemed to arise from the earth. He pinched his nostrils and clashed the window in the floor of his house. Then he looked down! He was speechless with amazement and anger. Sr. William dressed and departed from his dwelling. He had scarcely left his door when he came upon Saint Patrick swinging jauntily down the street. He paused and tried to speak, but his passion was so intense that he flourished his cans at Patrick and point earthward. Saint Patrick stared coldly at William and
And so it stands today. Green Hal which according to the morning papers in the nearby cities, was so sadly dilapidated, was repaired the next day and the engineers furnished. The women who according to the same source might have been seriously gassed, recovered with a few applications of the perfume bottle. And now all that recuperation trick and the redoubtable spirit of Sir William Blackstone to make up and be friends.

NEW DRIVEWAY FOR CAMPUS
Comedy "Duck Hunters"
Comedy "At Your Service"
Work Has Begun In Fowler Shops Grove
Work has started on the new south drive on the campus, and grading will begin Monday, according to John Sba, superintendent of buildings and grounds. The new road connects with the old road, and the meeting link between it and the old "south road," thus giving two approaches to the campus.
An airtack is being made to save one of the trees that stands in the path of the new drive. As the road passes through the grove in front of Fowler
Shops, several trees were in the way, and it was found necessary to cut down four of them. The fifth, a hard maple, is in such fine condition that an effort is being made to save it. It will be transplanted to a place just west of the roadway, where it is ledged that it will grow successfully. If the plants are still been contained little earlier in the season, more of the trees could have been transplanted, but at this time, success is not so sure.
Laurence Walworth, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., requests that all persons having summertime jobs for students remaining in summer session please phone them into the office. The telephone number is 380.
