KU Cheers Through 59 Years From Mush'n Milk To Rock-Chalk
"Mush and milk and sunflower seed
That's the stuff on which we feed.
We're the hot stuff of creation.
We're the Kansas aggregation.
Jack take a bite,
Jill take a chew,
I will take a cheer.
Rock-Chalk, Jay-Hawk, K.S.U."
This yell was used frequently at football and basketball games in 1890.
Cheerleading then was strictly a man's job, and no young lady would have thought of being so bold.
Today's football and basketball crowds yelling more conventional cheers, are led by nine University students, men and women. They dress in white skirts or trousers, red sweaters or jackets, which are decorated with Jayhawkers and the word "Kansas," and wear white and brown saddle shoes.
The cheerleaders practice approximately one hour each week in Robinson gymnasium, working to achieve the right timing and to learn the motions accompanying each cheer. They start few new yells, but they decide upon and revise if necessary the motions for each yell every year.
Anyone who can cheer and who is interested may tryout for a cheerleader position. The only necessary qualification is that all those trying out must have an average of C or better. Cheerleaders are chosen each spring after tryouts before a pep committee of 15 members composed of the traditions committee of the All Student Council, president of the Jay James, KuKu's, and K-Club, the football and basketball coaches, and others whom the committee may
choose.
In the early days there was no organized cheerleader squad to lead yells. But the well known "Rock Chalk" chant, adopted in 1887 as the University yell rang out at victories anyway, according to Robert Taft, professor of chemistry, in his book "Across the Years On Mt. Oread." Dr. Taft quotes the Lawrence Journal as reporting that at the first home game, at which the University beat Baker university, the triliphant cry of "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk," could be heard above all other yells strong and clear.
Two popular cheerleaders who are still well remembered, according to L. C. Woodruff, dean of men, are Ralph Spotts, '10, one of the first cheerleaders at the University, and Carl "Sandy" Winson, '22.
Women were allowed to enter this former "for-men-only" sphere during the 1930's. The present women cheerleaders were made honorary members of Jay Jane. The men are honorary members of KuKu's.
A yell is decided upon just before an anticipated play. One of the cheerleaders estimated that they lead approximately 40 yells and cheers during the course of one game.
Our cheerleaders today lead songs and yells at all home football and basketball games, at rallies, and at parades. They attend many of the out of town games as well. The next one they will go to will be the Nebraska-K.U. game at Lincoln.
