Patrick J. McNamafra put down lis
shillelagh for a moment in the hectic days
preceding St Palrick's Day to take a look
at the stills of Irish whiskey.
It's a tradition with the world-famed
band leader (McNamar-
ra's Band, for you Bo
hemians who don't know
the difference between
Pat and Harold Loffel
maecher) to throw the
wildest party seen by man
since Clarence Rafferty's
wake back in 36.
Pat makes sure that his
party, which gets wilder
from March 17 to March
17, is well attended, well-stocked and
well-supervised. It used to be that ad
mission was only by presenting a bona
fide shamrock at the peep bole on the
outside door. Bat since so many people
have been going to the blast. County Cork
Officials informed Pat that a sufficient
supply of the green flower couldn't be
flown to the USA and still be on hand for
the tourists to inspect back on the Old Sod.
The guest list this year will include
such notables as Lafferty. Rafferty, Hoola
han, Monahan. Duffy, McGuffey, O'Reilly
and O'Roon. Pat O'Brien, of course, will
be late.
The band leader emphasized that Uni
versity students were not encouraged to
attend the party because Irishmen wish to
comply with the school's regulations for
social gatherings. "We're boping that
some of the stalwart Hibernians front the
campus w ill attend the festivities though,"
Pat remarked casually.
When asked what the agenda for the
party would be (since every party the
smilin Irishman has thrown has had an
agenda) Pat said be would operate this

of the changes made or
planned by living residences
oa campus.
The change has been
largely brought about by the
adoption of a housing code
by the University. The code
was prepared under the au
spices of the "University
health service and approved
by the Panbellenic, the In
terfraternity Board of Con
trol and other interested
groups.
The code has worked out
very nicely, aecwding to EL

teria. 'When the guests come in they
will be greeted with a table of goodies, in
cluding Irish mash whiskey, green beer,
potato pancakes soaked, in ale and green
mints. .
"We don't expect many people to get
past the first two items on the table, how
ever," Ireland's answer to Pearl Mesta
stated.
Pat said that Irish songs would be the
entertainment for the evening. His band
will play for all the tunes. ".Mother Ma
chree," "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling,"
"Kerry Dance," "Dear Old Donegal" and
other Irish Hit Parade favorites will be
played. Confidentally, be mentioned that a
meage from ex-Dublin Mayor Robert
Bristow would be read.
The party started Monday night in the
Hibernian Hall nestled in the Bohemian
Alps north of Lancaster County. No end is
scheduled to the celebration, but a bus will
be on hand to deliver any Irish stews back
home if they must be at work Wednesday
morning.
And for those people who haven't been
invited to the party, McNamarra sug
gested some other forms of celebration
for St Patrick's Day. "Duffy's Tavern,
run by a Jewish friend of mine, or Casey's
Bar, run by a Swede, are among the
place's planning celebrations." He added
that Kelley's would, of course, be serv
ing green beer.
Ah' e with ambition is invited to Holly
wood, Florida, for the three-day Irish Fes
tival there, which inclndes such sporting
events as the shamrock swim meet, the
golden harp water skiing contest and the
green hat sack race.
All Ln all. many would-be Irishmen will
be donning the green and spouting "Top of
the Miming" in brogue all day.
Xo doubt about it. This March 17 will
be a great day for the Irish.
