person? What Is St. Patrick's Day,
and what Hob back of its observance?
St. Patrick, a Catholic, is according
to Irish history, the man who brought
Christianity to Ireland. According to
legend, he is the man who drove the
?nakes out of Erin. Because of these
things the people of Southern Ire
land have for ages observed St Pat
rick's Day with folk dances, games and
r.eneral hilarity including the con
sumption of much of the frely flowing
fluid. The people of Northern Ire
land the Protestants the Orange
men do not celebrate this holiday.
In America St. Patrick's Day means
enly a conglomeration of blarney
stones, shamrocks, thoughts of Sina
Felners, MacSwiney and his disas
trous fasting, Wesley Barry and John
McCormack. A few of us associate
"A Litlo Bit of Heaven," "Athlone,"
mid several of the most popular Irish
songs with St. Patrick's Day. Because
Wesley Barry is tho counterpart of
"Mickey," we think of him today.
St. Patrick's Day this year brings to
our minds tho great struggle that Is
taking place In Ireland. Tho Irish
people arc going through the hardship?
Mid struggles that were the lot of the
'.mericnu people during the Revolu
tion.
St. Patrick's Day makes us think of
many things.

2. The Book-Worm.
Again, there are coeds who come
to college for knowledge and for
nothing else. They care not for any
outride activity. The Libiuiy in their
lmme; their text books are their
guide posts. To Mich co eds the thirst
for knowledge is so strong that it
becomes almost a mania. Thus the
fmer things which go to make per
sonality are lost between the pages
of musty volumes.

A TRUE EXPRESSION OF
SENTIMENT? .
Yesterday the resolutions to aboIi.'h
the Student Council were lost by tho
vote of 177 to 159. Less than four
hundred votes were cast out of a stu
dent body of approximately 5,000.
Nearly 1,700 voted at the semester
class elections earlier in the year.
What is the inference?
It is this. We are lead to believe,
at first, that the election yesterday
does not express the true sentiment
of the student body. Students are not
evidently interested in whether there
is a Student Council or net, according
to the small amount of interest
shown and the few votes polled.
A number of the students have boen
heard to remark: "I don't care whether
the Council remains or not. It is noth
ing to me. I don't know anything
about it anyway."
Such conditions are regretted. The
most democratic body in school should
be so well known to every student that
he knows not only its inner woiking.i
but its policies. The Council itself is
entirely to blame for the fact that the
Undents KNOW LITTLE OR NOTH
ING ABOUT IT. It has never ac
complished anything.
Now, since the Council has been
retained, it is up to it to make itself
felt on the campus with constructive
methods of betterment. It must take

THE MACHINERY OF THOUGHT.
(Chicago Journal of Commerce.)
From some source, professional or
otherwise, we have acquired the un
derstanding that every thought in a
man's head destroys one or more
brain cells, which cannot be rebuilt
or replaced so long as he remains
awake. But when he sleeps, our
benign mother, Nature, busies herself
with restoring new cells for those
used, and we wake up w ith an entire
ly new set.
That is an interesting theory to
waste brain cells on. Every thought
kills a cell, but thinking strengthens
brain power. Thus we have better
thinking by destroying the physical
machinery we use in thinking. It
doesn't sound just right, viewed as a
purely physical function. But thoughts
are not physical things. They are
spiiitual. And so, possibly, we come
to the answer of an apparent contra
diction. May it not be that the soul
absorbs and retains the thoughts
manufactured by the dying brain
cells, and stores them up for future
use?
Let it go at that, if you will, but
the notion that many people do very
little or very light sleeping, persif.ts.
Their heads are full of brain cell
cinders.
