It seems there wore two Irish
men . . .
"Bcgorra," said Paddy OTiouike,
for some Irish reason or other.
"Eegorra." He said'again, be
cause he was talking to another
Irishman, and everybody knows
they're hard of Erin. Besides, if
you set out to tell an Irish dia
lect joka, you've got to repeat
all the language characteristics
at least twice. It's an unwritten
law upheld by after-dinner
speakers.
"Begorra," continued Paddy,
in his rich, southern dialect
mixed with the twang of a
down-east Yankee, "hoo wuz

last night?"
"Beporra." replied Patrick
O'Reilly. (He had to; he was an

Approximately 300 public school

Morrill Hall since it opened
March 6, accordinp to exhibit di

and Doane College proups have
come to Lincoln to see the exhihit
and also many clubs from Lincoln
and surrounding towns.
"One desirinp to see as fine a

made up uniquely for Lincoln, hav

some of the best of older artists
works."
Five famous French artists are
represented and their works were
borrowed from Earle Horter. These
pieces are "Portrait" by Moise
Kisling; "Cohort" by Giorpi di

The Reason Why.
Quite a few people know why
It is called St. Patrick's day and
at the same time quite a few
don't. So we shall cross up the
daisies, and tell. St. Patrick was
a legendary figure who was
raised to sainthood for chasing
all the snakes out of Ireland.
Dr. Pool of the botany depart
ment would probably point out
that in chasing the snakes out
of Ireland St. Patrick should
have been prosecuted for upset
ting the balance of nature. How
ever, the belief that snake chas
ing, was a beneficial act lasted
long enough to attract the at
tention of greeting card manu
facturers. This assured the lon
gevity of the holiday, because
once a greeting card manufac
turer sinks his hooks into a holi
day or tradition, that holiday or
tradition is there to stay.
St. Patrick was a fellow with
extraordinary powers tu foresight,
we are sure of that. He chased Ihc
snakes out of Ireland on the 17th
day of March, right smack on SU
Patrick's day, when he could have
chosen 3(il others. That took fore
sight plus.
The Irishman deserve a day of
respect and feting. Look at the
monumental contributions that
Irish characters have made to lit
erature. Pat and Mike rank first,
f.-.llowrd closely by Mr. Poolcy
and Finnegan of "off again, on
again, gone again. Finnegan."
Then the field of musical pieces.
"The Irish Washerwoman," "Dan
ny Eoy," 'Mother Machree" and
"When Irish Eyes Are Smiling,"
all of them being murdered daily
And where would we get our
tenors ana boy sopranos if it
wasn't for the Irish? They're the
only ones who have the nerve to
get up and sing sentimental songs
in one or two octaves higher trmn
pieces.
Nebraska has
nent collection
paintings and generally buys sev
eral more each year from the ex
hibition. By special arrangement of the
Art board, university students m"
visit the exhibition free, using
thfir identification cards as an
entrance ticket. An admission
charge of 25 cents is charged to

Many are the tales of St. Pat
rick, the Irish patron saint, who
is . honored today all over the
world. March 17th is not bis birth
day, nor the day upon which he
drove the snakes out of Ireland,
but the day that he was buried in
the year 303 according to the
latest findings.
Much of the saints actual his
tory is eclipsed in folklore and
superstition and it is un.-erta.in
just what country was the place
of his birth. Like Homer's, St. Pat
rick's birthplace is claimed by
many different countries, England,
Scotland, Wales and France. One
thing is certain, St. Patrick was
not a native of Ireland.
As his name implies, St. Pat
rick cam irom a patrician family
but was kidnapped by pirates at
the age of 16 and was sold sorrp

seven years of bondage he escaped

Chancellor Burnett Endorses
Art Exhibition in Morrill Hall
I wish to call the attention of all University of Nebraska
students to the art exhibition sponsored by the Nebraska
Art association now in Morrill hall. Arrangements have
been made to admit all nniversity students free of charge
to the exhibition on presentation of their student identifica
tion cards.
I would suggest that all students take this opportunity
to study this exhibit, which will be on display until April 3.
This art exhibit, together with the several interesting gallery
lectures, will give students an appreciation of the different
styles in art, including the French modern painters, the
nineteenth century American painters, and the contemporary
American artists. Drop in at the gallery and enjoy an hour
with well known painters and sculptors. Bring your identi
fication cards for free admission.

The Univerity. American Iygion,

glorify the statewid anniversry
of Arbor day and raise the slogan
"Plant trees' for living memorials
that your children can enjoy." The
campaign is intended to stimulate
tree planting and to replace the
many trees thhat have been de
utroyed during recent severe sum
mers and winters.
The Arbor iay committee be

public interest in this Tree Plant
ing day that the ideal which
prompted its founding will be
more thoroughly achieved and that
the dream of the pioneers who did
Vo much to convert the barren

will be more fully realized.
J. Sterling Morton, eminent civic
and political leader, agricultural
ist, and famed Nebraskan. is
credited the world over as origin

the past. Arbor day proposes for
Uie future." The quotation is from
a writing; by Mr. Mortan.
The aims of this program are to
Impress on the citirens throughout
the state the importance of trees
nd tree-planting: to stimulate
planting that will beautify our sur
roundings and engender In the
tnlnds of all a greater love of
beauty In nature; t replace the
millions of trees that have bten
