Karl Shapiro, editor of Poetry

Readers usually mistake the
meaning of mythical poetry,
stressed Shapiro, because the poet

Top o the mornin' to you.
St. Patrick's Day, the only na
tional Irish custom observed in
the United States, will be cele
brated Wednesday by Irishmen
and people of other nationalities
alike to whom St Patrick has be
come a legend.
As the story goes, St. Pat was
rnrripd awsv bv a band of Irish
marauders at the age of 16. After
six years of bondage, he escapeu,
returned, and drove the snaKes
out of or Ireland.
There is a persistent legend that
ksvr St. Pat missed one snake. In
Lake Dilveen, there was one old
serpent that gave the baint a lot
of trouble. Not having time to
finish him off in one day, Patrick
told him he -would be back to
take care of him on Monday. But
the good Saint forgot to come
back. So, the folks in the neigh
borhood say, the old snake still
waits for the forgotten appoint
ment to be kept.
Every Monday morning he rises
to the surface of Lake Dilveen,
looks around for a while and fin
ally calls out "It's been a long
Monday, Patrick," and then goes
back down lor anotner ween.
In Irish communities there are
dinners, much dancing and gaiety,
as the Irish believe that the cele

up and functions smothly, and will
share the responsibility of vali
dating that election.
The Council will not tell the
particular organization how it
election should be handled, but
will see that no errors appear in
ballot tabulation, and that prin
ciples previously set up are prop
erly carried out The polling
places and the tabulation of bal
lots will be supervised by mem
bers of the Council
If an organization desires the
aid of the Council in its elections,
the President must notify the Stu
dent Council election committee
and judiciary cornmittee at least
two weeks prior to the election
date. Howerer, if organizations
hold elections without Council
supervision, the Student Council
will not share the responsibility
for proper functioning of that
election.
The Constitution of the Univer
sity Student Council gives the
Council power to validate or in
validate all elections, either those
of all-University interest or any
special election.
Because the individuals elected
are representative of the entire
University, the Council has com

tions of all-University interest as

Of all the traditional St Pat
rick's Day parades in America,
the greatest and best known is
that of the Friendly Sons of St
Patrick in New York City. Since
1784 these happy Irishmen have
been making the city gay on
March 17 in honor of their patron
saint.
Here on our own campus, sham
rocks have sprouted on the Juke
boxes in the Union and students
will wear the traditional green.
One student said, wearing green
would be the extent of her cele
bration. Although she wasn't
Irish, she said it's a good excuse
to wear green.
Another celebrated last year by
going down O Street singing Irish
songs, but had no intention of
repeating the performance.
There is an interesting account
of a celebration of St. Patrick
Day in Philadelphia, 1778, when
the British soldiers were in this
country. Two years earlier, the
British evacuated BoBton on St
Patrick's Day and the Americana
marched in and took possession.
