Faith an' Begorra, There's a Bit O'Erin at Harvard on the Kaw
Green is the color of the day. In metropolitan areas the Irish celebrate March 17, St. Patrick's Day with parades and festivals. At Kansas University the commemoration of the patron saint of Ireland is observed by wearing green.
Do the scholars know why they are wearing these chlorophyll-colored clothes? What do they think of wearing green on St. Patrick's Day? Here is what ten of the students say:
David Hume, Oak Park, Ill., sophomore, said, "I'm Scotch; I wouldn't waste the money."
Carol Ott, Kansas City, Kan., freshman—"I think all St. Patrick's Day does is make us more aware of the Irish."
John Brown, Lawrence sophomore, said. "We have an incentive this year since the president of Ireland is visiting in Washington today. As the state government is so interested in the activities on this campus, I imagine the federal government is too. We should make a good showing and wear green."
Carol Mellinger, Milford junior, said, "It's the safest way to keep from being pinched all day."
Tom Jackson, Topeka junior, remarked, "Wearing green on St. Patrick's Day has lost all its symbolism. It is a rather trite custom."
Pat Triantos, Leawood senior, said, "If people look nice in green, I think it is fine, but green just happens not to be one of my favorite colors."
Sylvia Smoyer, Lawrence freshman, said, "I am not an Irishman, but green is my favorite color."
Bruce Welch, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said, "It's nice, if you are so inclined."
Mary Jo Cox, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said, "If we could celebrate St. Patrick's Day in holiday style—I would wear all green."
Phi Gamma Delta
Richard Rohlf, Kirkwood, Mo., junior has been elected president of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity for the coming year.
Delta Tau Delta
Other officers are Charles Farnsworth, Topeka junior, treasurer; Thomas Ash, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, recording secretary; Joseph Reitz, Kansas City, Mo., junior, corresponding secretary; Roger Boeger, Elmhurst, Ill., junior, historian, and Bob Radcliff, Lawrence sophomore, rush chairman.
