LAWRENCE, KAN., SEPT 23, 1890
The decision to keep the Library open at night is a good thing and will add greatly to its efficiency.
By this time everyone has settled down to work, and "that tired feeling" which oppressed both new and old students for the first week or two, is beginning to wear off.
The Topeka Capital must have lots of nerve to publish pictures of football men such as adorned last Sunday's paper. If they don't take care the football men will be "landing" on them.
We want to emphasize once more the necessity for all football men to come out and practice. Even if you don't expect to make the team it will be a good thing for you and for the first team men.
Missouri will make a strong effort to have a winning football team this year. This is said to be their last struggle, for, if they don't win this year all hope must be abandoned. We are sorry for Missour but don't see how we can help them out any this year.
This is going to be a great year for Kansas university. We are certainly beginning to feel the effects of the general prosperity. The registration now is 200 greater than at the same time last year and now surpasses the registration at the end of the first term last year.
It certainly encourages the football players to have a good crowd of men on the field during practice. It shows that the students are taking an interest in the sport and want to express their appreciation for the brawny fellows who do the work. It is the earnest support of the students that encourages the team and makes it a winner. Kansas will win this year if the faculty and students do their part.
Every university is in great measure a little world to itself, and exhibits in miniature many of the conditions which will confront the student in the actual business of life. Among these is the political activity manifested in the contests for any positions which are rendered desirable through honors or emoluments. College politics exhibit all the features to be found in the contests for greater offices and honors. Political deals are about as frequent and as distasteful to the mass of the voters as in real life, while the would-be political boss is even more certain of ultimate defeat. Equal suffrage prevails here, and very often the girls have the power to decide certain elections, and they use it, too. There may be some things to be deprecated in college politics, but on the whole it is a good school and really a valuable factor in education.
OUR SLOGAN.
The college yell is an outlet for enthusiasm and as an institution all by itself is usually a fearful and wonderful thing. But the one which is so dear to the hearts of K. U. men has probably reached the climax of all that is to be desired in its line.
"Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K.U." There is a college yell that can beat anything of the kind that ever happened. Anyone who has ever heard that proceed from a thousand lusty throats can easily understand what rooting means to our
athletic teams, and why it is that things usually come our way when the gang is along to yell. That yell is enough to strike terror to the heart of a Flii| islander or a catamount of the western forests. When our college company was organized it was predicted that "Rock Chalk" would be irresistible, and the great success of the Twentieth Kansas was doubtless in large measure due to the adoption of our yell. The Filipinos could not stand that.
The Entre Nons Whist club has been entirely reorganized and new members taken in. The club will meet every Wednesday, and the young gentlemen friends will be entertained every other week. The club met Saturday afternoon at the home of Miss Cora Peck. The young ladies are Misses Peck, Cochran, Slocumb, Best, Scammon, Collins, Crawford, Graham, Kilcore, Elder, Robinson and Morran.
And it has the same effect at home as in the Philippines. On Thanksgiving day when the Missourians hear that come rolling from the bleachers, their courage drops right out. They know that they can't stand up against a team that has been brought up on a yell like that. It is cyclonic in its character and carries everything before it, just like the Kansas zephyr which has so often wafhed its mealdious tones over McCook field or the stately corridors of Frazer Hall. Its a Kansas product and like the rest of them its simply great.

A Freshman Tragedy.
He was a little Freshie,
As fresh as fresh could be;
So wild, so green and giddy
And full of jollity.
One day an idea struck him,
So he to me had said
Alas! his brief life now's o'er-
He's number d with the dead.
—L. F.
"Rock Chalk. Jay Hawk, K . U."
Solon O. Thachar, of Lawrence, is credited with the origin of the famous college yell, "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. Ui" which has now been heard around the world as the war cry of the Twentieth Kansas, Funston's regiment. It was in the 'so' that he delivered a lecture to the law students on Mt. Oread, in which he said:
said.
"It it is related that after the famous massacre in this city, Quantrell remarked:
'The women of Lawrence are a brave lot, but the men, the Jay-hawkers—why their livers are so white that chalk would make a black mark for them.' But the cause for which Quantrell has worked his butchery is dead, and that for which the Jay-hawkers suffered is forever triumphant, while this very chalk hill is become the foundation rock of one of the greatest bulwarks of a free state."
After the lecture a few of the leading spirits of the school got together and within fifteen minutes they marched arm in arm down M. Oread to the tune of the now famous yell, "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U!" The yell was instantly and unanimously adopted, and has never been altered or supplanted.—Kansas City Gazette.
Munsey's for August contains a fine portrait of Colonel Wilder S, Metcalf, and speaks of him as follows:
Munsay's on Metcalf.
"It is claimed for the Twentieth Kansas—Funston's regiment—that it contains a greater portion of college men than any other volunteer body that enlisted during the recent war. Colonel Wilder S. Metcalf, who succeeded to Funston's command when the latter was promoted to brigadier general, is a graduate of two universities: Oberlin (1879) and the law school of the University of Kansas (1897). By birth he is a Maine man."
An officer of his regiment, who recently returned from the Philippines, says of Col. Metcalf: "He has a brilliant record for military skill and for management of the troops. He and Funston were hand in hand fighting all the way through. When Funston said, 'Go ahead!' it was Metcalf that steadied the men and took them through."

CHEMISTRY AND PHYSIC NOTES.
The new stocks of japparatus and chemicals arrived this week.
The Chemistry department is more than crowded this year. Many students have been turned away on account of not having laboratory space. The assaying room in the basement is being fitted up for the medical students, and the dark room under the entrance will be used for cold storage. There will probably not be any assaying room the second term unless one can be fitted up in the new building.
