Description	St. Patrick's Day student strike, Tucson, Arizona. University of Arizona students march through downtown Tucson, Az. A petition addressed to [President Babcock] requesting a full holiday was turned down by the President, who wrote across it in green ink: "I may be green' not so 'green' as this." In impulsive defiance the male students, most of them wearing their cadet uniforms, marched downtown and simply took the holiday that had been denied. The story was carried in the newspapers throughout the Territory, enraging many, including Governor Brodie. The ringleaders were, of course, promptly disciplined with extra drills, and some (according to reports) even put to work laying bricks.
