History Of Rock Chalk And Jayhawker Can Be Found In Watson Library Records
Do you want to know the history of the Rock Chalk yell or the Jayhawk bird? A complete history of each can be found among the 15,000 books in the Kansas collection in Watson Library.
Many of the books have been compiled by the library staff under the direction of Miss Maud M. Smelser. A number of them are kept in a special locked file because the library has only one copy and they cannot be replaced.
The collection is classified separately from the rest of the library. It is divided into seven sections: University of Kansas, Kansas history, Kansas counties, Kansas biography, Kansas state official reports, nonofficial reports, and Kansas writers.
There are biographies of many of the former chancellors and faculty members at the University, such as; chancellor E. H. Lindley, Professor Allen Crafton, Forrest Allen, John See, L. L. Dyche, and Alberta Corbin. There are five books on former chancellor Deane W. Malott.
Miss Smelser is now working on the second book on Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy.

Youngsters Hit At Senator Taft
HARMAN NICHOLS United Press Corresponden
There is encouraging evidence that our 'teen-agers are learning how to think.
More often that not, the questions they think up are tough enough to stump their elders.
in you have doubts, you can catch the program called "The American Youth Forum" (NBC-TV) any Saturday night. On the first preview of the new show a bunch of unheared youngsters gave it to Sen. Robert A. Taft of Ohio, who is known as "Mr. Republican" here-bouts.
The first young fry to quiz the senator wanted to know whom the can from Ohio considered the best GOP candidate for president in 1952. 1952.
Ohio's first citizen, who has been mentioned as a potential candidate himself, could only stutter. Finally, he admitted that he couldn't answer,
"You see," he said, "that involves the question of personality, expressing relative opinions about a lot of people."
Mr. Taft sighed a little when the moderator came to his help and alled on the next youngster.
He wanted to know if General acarthur "nominated" the man omio Ohio in a speech in Cleveland. Taft replied that "I would say it was only a friendly reference my own state."
Next came a young lady who re-
rathered to a speech Senator Taft
made in Maine. "Maybe it was a
tip of the tongue," she said, "but
you intimated that if the Republi-
nals really got out and worked you
could be elected president."
The senator conceded it was a bit a slip. But he added that "I do think that I could win if I wereominated, and I think nearly anyepublican could win—all depending on the kind of campaign theyut on."
It turned out to be a pretty interesting show, and the kids stuck ground for half an hour or so after they were off the air and rubbed it with even more pertinent questions.
Some of the brass around town as begged for permission to appear, people like senators, a couple of cabinet members, and a number ofgressmen. Many of them have ot been too anxious to get on frank's American forum where all he questioners are adults.
But they may find some of the ids even harder to handle.
