Temporary Darkness Brings McGinty's Woe
Where was McGinty when the lights went out? Friday night found one member of the family hunting for his mouth in the University cafeteria, while another member of the same family sought to hear the mouth wide open listening to Lord Charnwood's discussion of the Irish problem at the University Club.
McGinty was in a quandary. In the first instance if he missed his mouth he'd spoil his tie. McGinty was hungry and he took a chance. His success was gratifying, but his second trial gave him access to his neighbor's plate. The neighbor objected and the result was a near dispute.
McGinty's struggles were his own, while he labored to overcome them, the darkness affected others in the cafeteria, differently. There was the cashier who had read somewhere about "Diamond Dick." She banged her cash drawer and stood with buted breath while a line of woeful waiters laughed at her as they highway-men in their midst a pleasant time he'd have trying to walk off with the cash drawer. The cashier once once relinquished her post.
At the University club, Lord Charmwood blinded and continued talking. Nobody saw him blink, but it is taken for granted he did. His sentences flowed easily and evenly and the darkness interfered not a whit with his ideas. It was McGinty alone who had the struggle. The darkness did make a difference with McGinty. He lost the point and couldn't readjust his facial expression to meet the circumstances until the lights came on.
Where *was* McGinty when the lights went out? **Only** McGinty knows,

A full list of courses in astronomy will be offered in the department of physics next quarter. Dr. Dinsmore Alter, formerly of the University of California will be instructor of the astronomy courses.
Dr. Alter was elected to fill that position more than a year ago. He accepted and was about to start for Lawrence when the United States declared war and he enlisted in the Coast Artillery. He now is a major in this corps and has been in charge of a large coast artillery training
school in California. He probably will be discharged from the army soon and will then come to the University in time to arrange the astronomy courses for next quarter. Prof. E.B. Stouffer has been in charge of astronomy the first quarter.
