Revised Rock Chalk Yell Of KU Trainees Recalls 57-Year History of Chant
By Dolores Sulzman
By Doobes Suzman Have you heard this "then-andnow" story?
1918 — A United States regiment tramping through France, Kansas men in the unit chant "Rock Chaw-awk, Jay Haw-awk," and from some American group along the line comes the answer, "Kay U-oo." The Rock Chalk chant, with its savage, musical cadence, soon became a trench cheer of French, Belgian, and American soldiers.
1943 — A K.U. army unit tramping to Watson library for study hall, the first platoon takes up the chant, "Rock Chaw-awk, Jay Haw-awk," and from the platoon in the rear comes the answer "Taboo" (or possibly someone yelled the second verse, "Snafu.") The Roek Chalk yell takes its place in the "revised for military misuse" manual.
School traditions and the old "alma mater" stuff is often regarded as so much sentimental blop by some. But K.U.'s Rock Chalk is more than a school yell, and more than a 57-year-old tradition of the University.
Was Battle Cry in Philippines
The Rock Chalk of the University of Kansas has been called the most famous college yell in America. When the nobility assembled at the Olympics at Antwerp in 1920, they requested that a typical American college yell be given. Collegeians from Maine, Minnesota, California, and other states got together and chose the Rock Chalk as the most representative and impressive college yell.
Company H of the 20th Kansas Infantry took the Rock Chalk to the Philippines in 1898, and it became the battle cry of the soldiers there. It was used in China during the Boxer Rebellion, and Kansas men introduced it in France and Belgium in World War I.
Latest Change Is 'Hit It'
The "jayhawk" comes from an old colloquial name for Kansas and its inhabitants, and "rock chalk" from the outcropings of the chalk strata on the campus. The yell was first used by the University Science Club; later it was adopted as a school yell. It is one of the few yells that can be brought back from the football field, and that will sound appropriate at the end of a learned speech by a visiting dignitary on the campus.
The Rock Chalk has undergone many changes in 57 years—the latest official change being the snappy "hit it!" which K. U. students inserted several years ago and graduates groaned their disapproval. The addition is now accepted as an improvement but "taboo" hasn't been approved. The Rock Chalk is the creed, the boast, and the challenge of the University of Kansas.
(ACP)—Woolies may be the style this year, not for beauty's sake, but for more practical purposes on the Ohio State campus.
Ohio State Coeds Adopt Woolies As College Saves Heat
"All the buildings on the campus will be kept under 70 degrees in temperature in compliance with President Bevis' request to save fuel," Paul H. Elleman, maintenance engineer, said recently in a warning to Ohio Staters. Reasons for having more heat turned on will have to be pretty good to get results, he added.
It is doubtful that the coeds at Ohio State will go back to "grandma's day" and wear six or eight petticoats, a muff or even long underwear, but more slacks and flannel shirts may be expected to be seen on the campus.
George Harvey Waite Receives Commission
George Harvey Waite, Clay Center, a former student at the University and a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity, received his wings and commission as a lieutenant in the air corps Saturday when he was graduated from Big Springs Army air field advanced bomber school at Big Springs, Tex. Lt. and Mrs. Waite are spending a short leave in Clay Center with his mother, Mrs. George Waite.
While attending the University, Lt. Waite lettered in football, track, and music, and played in traveling dance bands. Before entering the service last March 22, he was employed in construction work with the Gunite Concrete and Construction Co., Kansas City, Mo.
Mrs. Baldwin Arrives For Dedication
Mrs. Karl F. Baldwin, wife of Col. Karl F. Baldwin, now stationed in Australia, arrived Tuesday afternoon from her home in Berkeley, Calif., to be present for the unveiling of the Military Science building tomorrow night, and will be the guest during the holidays of Rev. and Mrs. T. H. Aszman. She will leave for her home on December 27.
Many social affairs, including luncheons, teas, and dinners, have been planned for Mrs. Baldwin during her stay here. She will also be the guest at other parties here in Lawrence and of organizations to which she formerly belonged.
Mrs. Aszman will entertain with a coffee tomorrow morning honoring her guest.
At the exercises, which will probably be in Fraser theater, commissions may also be granted to graduates in both the Army and Navy, Dr. Ingham asserted.
"Admission is going to be by ticket only," he stated, "to make room for the relatives and friends of those graduating."
Plans are under consideration for some type of procession with graduates in "academic garb." The University Commencement Committee, which met Tuesday afternoon, also plans to -secure an outstanding speaker, possibly in the field of professional medicine.
Another meeting of the committee will be held in the near future to discuss plans for the mid-year graduation for those finishing their work at the end of the present semester.
Special commencement exercises for a class of more than 80 graduates from the School of Medicine, and about 34 nurses, who are receiving certificates or bachelor of science degrees, will be on Jan. 31, Harold G. Ingham, director of the extension division, announced yesterday.
