iattg ®ar TAni Day’s parties contrast history BY TIM PRICE STAFF WRITER While the green brews flow and students claiming to be Irish get kissed, it’s time once again to reflect on the well celebrated, but often not-so-well understood, hol iday that is St. Patrick’s Day. In the Catholic church, St. Patrick is the patron saint of Ireland as well as the saint of overcoming obstacles. To Irish-Americans, he’s a symbol of their Irish heritage. St. Patrick’s Day in its American form is widely believed to date back to the first time Boston held a St. Patrick’s Day parade in 1737. In the Chapel Hill area, restau rants and pubs are gearing up for the festivities. W.B. Yeats Irish Pub on Franklin Street is teaming up with Avalon for a night featuring six live bands and a DJ, coupled with Irish food and drinking. Ri Ra, an Irish pub in Raleigh, also plans to serve traditional Irish fare and feature Irish dancers, bag pipers and other live music.

It’s more like Thanksgiving.” The man behind the shamrock has less to do with Guinness than students might think. Born in the late fourth century as Maewyn Succat, the day’s patron saint was baptized Patrick and lived in Britain until he was kidnapped and sold as a slave in Ireland around age 16. After being enslaved by the Irish and struggling to survive as a mis sionary among them, Patrick con fessed that he didn’t like them as a people. “That, to me, is one of the puzzles about Patrick,” O’Neill said. The only available records of Patrick’s life are his confessions, which act as an incomplete autobi ography, and a letter excommuni cating a Scottish war chief for enslaving members of Patrick’s 22 Churchill's sign 24 Bern's river 26 "Typee" sequel 27 Make muddy 28 Turns on a pivot 29 ", Lang Syne" 31 Fifty-fifty 33 St. Patrick Day's images 34 Irish Rose's lover 35 Survey of public opin ion 38 Atoms of differing masses a 5 16 |7 rTTTWIo“ 11 112 13 _ ■— mm —- 26 30 ■■pi " - j832|33 34 35 36 ■137|38 “ 41 45 “ ■■46" 47 ■■4 B so 51 ■■og” ' hHH 53 ' 54 55 ■■s6" 57 58 59 “ ■■6 o ■gcT™ 62 ""■■63 -js|j§64 HI 66"' K? “ Kelli Michelle Smith Whitney Lynn Smith Mark Huntington Snyder Lindsey Bryan Sobol Keshawna Shamire Solomon Leigh Batten Spencer Lara Marie Stephenson Laura Marie Strong Douglas Richard Sue Cindy Dawn Thompson Elise Nicole Tortora Richard Carl Treis Charles Brent Trexler 111 Lauren Elaine Turner Ann Alexander Urquhart Katherine Lyda Vandiver .

Myth and reality often are blurred because of a lack of concrete information. Either way, stories of Patrick’s feats, fact or fiction, endure even today. Stories survive about how Patrick received guidance from God to escape from slavery and eventu ally return to Ireland to convert the pagans. There also is the common legend in which Patrick drives the snakes from Ireland an impossible task, because such serpents never inhab ited the island. Although he is seen as a hero, St. Patrick’s confessions discuss his belief that he never would have chosen to do his work were he not selected by God. “In the 600s A.D., a group of churches in the northern part of Ireland decided to make Patrick the patron saint of Ireland,” O’Neill said. “I think all scholars would agree that Patrick was just one of many missionaries in Ireland.” Contact the Features Editor atfeatures@unc.edu.

The state’s output is expected to increase 2.2 percent during 2004, compared with an estimated 4 per cent to 5 percent for the entire country, according to UNC- Charlotte’s Carolina Economic Forecast. North Carolina is expected to add 31,500 jobs in 2004, one third of what would be expected histor ically, said John Connaughton, professor of economics at UNC-C, who compiled the report. “Things are a lot worse than they typically are at this stage in a recovery,” he said. “Firms really haven’t started hiring back yet.” He added that this lack of opportunities means college stu dents will struggle to find jobs. “While things are tough for grads coming out this year, they’re not nearly as bad as last year.

North Carolina’s growth also underperformed compared with national rates in 2003. Last year, the gross state product improved an estimated 2.2 percent, while the gross domestic product rose 3.1 percent. Only 10,000 jobs were created in the state in 2003, a meager increase of 0.3 percent. Connaughton said the causes of North Carolina’s struggles are the declines of the textile, apparel, tobacco and furniture industries. He added that this trend has been occurring for years and is not due to recent economic troubles. “Then the recession comes, and these industries get hurt even more. It is a double blow.” He said he sees 2005 as a turn ing point, when North Carolina’s growth will start to reflect nation al rates as the backlog of jobs from declining industries goes away.

She specifical ly pointed to a lack of training that can be applied to new jobs. Conway added that North Carolina’s focus on its consumer economy and neglect of the global information economy is another key factor. “In a knowledge economy, a larger share of your sales activity is going to be global,” she said. “We have tended to see exporting as a small item, and for that reason we haven’t given it due attention. Conway said the state’s focus on improving education, particularly at community colleges, will have positive effects on the future. She also recommended that uni versities emphasize international education to boost students’ chances in the global economy. “That will improve job prospects.” Contact the State £s> National Editor at stntdesk@unc.edu.
