Rock Chalk Jay Hawk Was War Cry
The 20th Kansas regiment, made up largely of University students, went into action in the Philippine jungles in the Spanish-American war with the war cry—"Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk!"
On April 20, 1898, an ultimatum was delivered to Spain, and the U.S. knew that the long record of peace with other nations was at an end.
Volunteers were called for in the states and Kansas was among the first to respond. Companies of volunteers were organized in various Kansas towns, and the national guard was called up.
Captain A. G. Clarke was in command of the Lawrence unit of the guard, which contained several University men.
On May 3, they paraded down Massachusetts street, which was decked out and lined with citizens crying and cheering. They turned down towards the Santa Fe depot, and there boarded cars for the main encampment at Topeka.
Most of the University men who enlisted for service did not go to Topeka until the following week. The Sunday before they left, a special service was held in their honor in University hall. The Hall was crowded and when the volunteers marched in, they were greeted with deafening cheers.
Most of the University men on their arrival at Topeka were assigned to companies in the 20th and 22nd Kansas regiments.
The twenty-nine volunteers present at this service were all students enrolled in the University. Their intention was to form a company of college students from Manhattan and Emporia.
In addition to student volunteers, many former University students also enlisted, so that the total University representation in the armed forces of the United States for the Spanish - American War totaled nearly seventy-five men.
Scientists Offer Solution To Cosmic Ray Mystery
Washington—(U.P.)—The mystery of where cosmic rays come from may be solved. The National Geographic society has reported "strong evidence" that these energy-packed particles originate not in the far reaches of outer space, as previously supposed, but in the sun.
If this is confirmed, it means that in addition to being the nuclear power house that supplies our planet with heat and light, the sun also is a gigantic arsenal of subatomic projectiles which bombard the earth in a never-ending barrage.
These projectiles apparently are fragments of atoms dismembered by the sun's terrific heat and hurled into space at energies running into the billions of electron volts.
The origin of cosmic rays, many of them individually vastly more energetic than the exploding atoms A-bombs, has puzzled science their discovery early in this history.
Though too diffuse to be detected on earth except by sensitive instruments, cosmic rays provide science with clues to atomic structure which ultimately may contribute to mastery of nuclear energy.
Last year and this, scientists directed by Dr. Martin A. Pomerantz, Bartol physicist, sent instrument-carrying balloons more than 20 miles into the sky above the Hudson bay outpost of Fort Churchill.
Evidence that they come from the was found in research conducted "at the top of the atmosphere" in Canada by the National Geographic and the Bartol Research foundation of Philadelphia's Franklin institute.
Other investigators have theorized that the subatomic particles
which crash night and day into earth's atmosphere might "be the result of a cosmic cataclysm from which our universe ultimately emerged."
"Others," the National Geographic added, "had them hurtling, unexplained, from the vast void of infinity. A third belief is that they might be generated by the interplay of magnetic fields existing in the stars and nebulae."
But the dates recorded by his high-hoaring instruments, Pomerantz reported, "strongly suggest that the sun may be the source of virtually all the cosmic radiation reaching the earth."
Pomerantz discovered that a violent eruption which marred the sun's face on May 10, 1949, was followed 19 hours later by a 15 percent increase in the number of cosmic particles in the earth's atmosphere at altitudes between 95,000 and 100,000 feet.
Simultaneously, radar receivers at Cornell university's radio-astronomy observatory recorded an unusually high intensity in the radio signals which emanate continually from the sun.
Thus, for the first time, a common origin was established for at least some cosmic radiation and the radio noises known to come from the sun.
This Fellow Really Wanted Some Proof!
San Francisco—(U.P.)—A dark-haired man patted the glistening blade of a hunting knife in a dingy skid row hotel and bragged he was "the greatest knife thrower in Mexico."
His audience in the hotel lobby might have doubted his self-praise, but only one, Ray Lilly, 54, demanded that the man prove the claim.
Former Housemother Of Henley House Dies
Lilly volunteered himself for the test and walked to a wall. He stood still, and waited for proof.
Miss Mary B. McCracken, housemother of Henley House from 1945 to 1947 and sister of Miss Anna D. McCracken, instructor in correspondence study, died Dec. 23 after a long illness. She had been a resident of Lawrence 13 years and lived with her sister at 1623 Kentucky street.
The average fire loss per Illinois during 1944-48 was $2,400.
Housewives in Chicago must refrain from washing sidewalks from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. between May and October.
The average five loss per farm in Illinois, during 1944-48, was $2,400.
Because of her experiences with interracial living while teaching in the American Friend's Mission school in Banes, Oriente, Cuba, Miss Cracken was asked to serve as a remother during the first two years that Henley house was operated as an interracial residence hall for undergraduate women.
Dr. C. W. Tomlinson, past president of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, will speak at the University lecture to be held Monday, Jan. 8 in Lindley auditorium.
Lilly could not complain about the second throw. It pierced his neck.
The dark-haired man quickly withdrew the blade and disappeared. Lilly died later.
Geologist To Give Lecture January 8
He will describe odd geologic structures in southern Oklahoma, since he is an outstanding authority on the geology of the Arbuckle mountains located in that part of the country.
"You missed a foot," Lilly barked, "Better try again."
The dark-haired man flung the blade. It veered to the left.
Doctor Tomlinson received his doctorate degree from the University of Chicago and served for a number of years as geologist for the Gulf Oil company. He is now a consultant geologist and oil producer in Ardmore, Okla.

Lockboxes Are Really Safe
Moorhead, Minn.—(U.P.) A high school student, Warren Clark, exercised his wits by devising a safety deposit box with four interlocking locks which must be opened in sequence. The principal lock is opened only with the use of electricity, so that the owner must be near an electrical outlet to get the box open.
