Green ties mark St. Pat's day for engineers
Green will mark the day next Wednesday when SC engineers don green ties of all shades to celebrate the birthday of their patron saint, St. Patrick. This was the announcement made today by Hugo Francis, newly elected president of the College of Engineering.
A special meeting of all engineering students has been called for 9:50 a.m. ln honor of the holiday, and in the future every Friday will be “green tie” day for the engineers.
“St. Patrick is the patron saint of all engineers,” Francis stated. “Although this will be the first year that his birthday has been celebrated here at SC, many eastern schools have a special ceremony reserved for the day.”
Wearing green ties is an established custom in all engineering colleges throughout the country, Francis asserted, and there will be a special penalty laid out for those who forget.
Francis, who has been acting president since the end of last semester, was recently elected to continue in office by the engineering student body.

she played the score of Mozart’s “Marriage of Figaro” on the piano in rehearsal Friday, five School of Music students sang and acted their parts in the opera in preparation for its presentation Mar. 18 in Bowne auditorium.
Staging a grand opera without a concert orchestra, elaborate settings, or colorful costumes will create no problems for the cast, which is made up of Professor Ehlers’ 18th century vocal class.
“We are stressing informality and good singing,” she said.
Instead of wearing silks and satins of old-fashioned European royalty, they will perform in ordinary school clothes the story of Figaro, his adventures with counts and countesses, and his ultimate nuptials.
Each member of the cast has, performed over the radio, said the professor. Edward Foord will play Count Almaviva; Lucile Peterson, Countess Almaviva; Michael Marsman, Figaro; Mary Lou Perry, Susanna; and Ruth Trevorrow, Cher-ubino. Alice Parichan, drama department student, will narrate the action.
This will be the first time that an opera of this type has been given at SC.
Father' Davenport is SC spellbinder
by Dorothea Rawa
The setting was an ordinary classroom, the characters were one professor and a motley assortment of football players, hockeymen, NROTC boys, bespectacled scholars, and the cream of feminine pulchritude at SC. All were listening intently as the professor read Burton’s “Anatomy of Melancholy
“In hoc cum agricola” or some such phrases were frequently injected into the reading, but the attention of the class never wandered, even though not one of those assembled was able to translate the matter.
This ability to hold the attention of a class under any sort of circumstance belongs to Dr. William H. Davenport, assistant professor of English language and literature.
A prime example of this adeptness was the occasion last year when an army plane swooped low and almost grazed the top of Bridge hall. While some other professors vainly endeavored to call their classes to order, Dr. Davenport s soothing, “Noisy little rascal, isn’t it?” was the only deviation from an enlightening discussion qf Pope.
Burly athletes sit through an entire semester of poetry of the English Renaissance to hear him relate the touching story of the two palm J
trees who fell in love after they grew tall enough to see each other.
(Professors are a university’s character. Theirs are the personalities that influence the formation of a student’s ideas. W hen ex-students recall college days their minds usually form mental pictures of favorite professors. Because these pictures are often too few in number, and because people like reading about their friends, the Daily Trojan will present each Monday a black-and-white sketch, color to be added by each individual to suit his particular taste. The assignment of portrait-painter has gone to Miss Dorothea Rawa, who knows people and how to write about them.—Ed.)
