Br JIM WOOLDBIDGE
Within three days after the king s
declaration of war on that dark
morning in September, practically
very member of the British Commonwealth of Nations had ralliefl
to the side of their mother country
with declarations of their own.
Canada joined the cause immediately, Australia followed, India was
dose behind. Even New Zealand and
Egypt acquiesced. There was a little
delay on the part of South Africa,
but a new election ousted the pacifist element and brought about
declaration of war and a denouncement of the totalitarian policies of Hitler. All the British empire
came to the aid of the king except
Eirle, formerly known as the Irish
Free 6tate.
It was the same old Ireland,
looking for a chance to fight
the English government. How oft-- n
we hear of Irish uprisings, Irish
foomb-thr- o
wings, Irish riots, Irish
plots, and Irish street fighting. In
World War I. it was said that the
'people of the shamrock isle openly
aided the Central Powers in thence th struggle against the Allies.
German submarines would come
tip along the west coast of the island and obtain diesel fuel and
other supplies from the disgruntled
natives. The Irish didnt hide their
feelings toward England at all, and
at the end of the war they attempted to throw off the British yoke while
the king's army was busy fighting
the Germans. Their famous "Easter week rebellion" failed, but it
showed the English that the Irish
were growing in power and would
have to be dealt with in some different sort of manner.
Irish Free State
Accordingly, King George V, in
1S22 proclaimed the formation of
an Irish Free State which was to
receive full dominion status just
like Canada and Australia. This
little Catholic state was to be separate from the northern part of
Ireland, known as Ulster, because
Ulster had a population of Protestant people. The Free State's government survived a stormy birth
and an ensuing civil war before the
present regime took over the reins.
The new party, headed by President de Valera, immediately pushed
through some reform measures and

After three days of registration,
3,321 students have enroled for the
second semester, it was learned
from the registrar s office last night.
This is an increase of 103 students
ever the number who had sighed
up at this time last year.
Although the present figure is
467 short of the 3,788 who enrolled
last semester, registration officials
believe that late errolleees will
push the figure above that of previous second semesters. Now the
number is only 163 less than the
total enrollment for the final period
last year.
The last day on which a student
may enter an organized class has
been set as Monday, February 19,
by the registrar's office.
During the first semester
enrollment was led by New
York with 109 students. West Vir
ginia was next with 53 and Indiana
and Illinois followed with 46 and 42
respectively. Outside of Fayette,
Jefferson county led with 198 students and Bourbon had 86. The foreign representation showed two en

Monday for a week's run at the
Guignol theater. It is a modern
play dealing with problems of economic and social importance.

The play concerns a company
which manufactures robots, mechanical men which are almost
human. One chemist developed ir
ritability in the robot, making it
human. After the robots were scattered in all parts of the world, they

writer's country,
The play was written at the close
of World War I and is particularly
timely in view of World War IL
The theater was faced with a
two-hodilemma from both stage
settings and costumes because the
time of the play is the future. The
set, planned by Clay Lancaster, has
no definite period furniture. A
"visiphone," a combination of the
telephone and television, is used.
The costuming of robots, designed
by Gail Kirn, suggests a futuristic
uniform and still makes the robots
acceptable as almost human beings.
The cast Includes the following:
Richard Swope, Dr. Gall, head of
the physiological and experimental
department of RUR; Robert Lund- qulst, Fabry, the engineer general;
Grant Lewis, Alquist, the architect;

dregs are infected, anyway. If it were only so.
Those of the lifted eyebrows must forgive us if
we brush them aside in trying to aid some of
the "dregs" too often innocent victims.
It's almost unbelievable, isn't it, that one out
of every twenty individuals is numbered among
the "dregs"?

Practically Stymied
Before It Gets Started

Reason says no. but the moist, spermy earth,
warmed by the returning sun, gives an illusion
that spring is here, that for the last time we have
known the chilling deadness of winter.
But at best it is onlv an illusion. A month
must pass lefore spring is possible, a month in
which we will feel again the raw harshness.
It will come though. Spring, with its long afbreezes, and soothing
ternoons,
warmness.
And, as spring glides into summer, the days
will get longer, the breezes will die, and the
temperature will rise.
And there will be gnats, and flys, and ants.
When vou go to led .it will be hot a sheet

in charge of the campus Community Chest drive
protesting against Islington's solicitation of
funds from students.
Doggone it. And the drive promised to get of!
good start, too!
Too had that his opinion will prevent the
Community Chesi from rendering its
aid to crippled and undernourished children,
unmarried mothers, disrupted families, penni-le- s
aged ladies, and thousands more
individuals and agencies that receive no state aid. Isn't

that the individuals and the agencies
must erase to exist because thev are not recognized.
It's rather remarkable, loo. that the professor
suffers such a twinge of conscience over the
thought of student contributions. The evervdav
comforts and amusements afforded students, and
(ire. health, and police protection are so negligible.
And it docs seem such a pity that, because of
ihi man's disapproval, organizations like DDK
and Mortar Board will be forced to realize that
for fellow citizens is do longer an American attribute, and that the enervating work of
conducting such a campaign is worthless unless
ou are replenishing your own coffers. Too bad
that they must necessarily throw up their hands
in despair, now. "
W hat a consolation it must be to know that
he is right and that the hundreds and hundreds
