'Rock Chalk' Cry Reaches Forty-eighth Birthday
(Continued from page 1)
Bourget was on July 21, 1886. By 1897, however, he was taken over as a University yell. This form it took was "Rah, Rah! Jayhawk, U.R." given three times with a quick, U.K. accent. It is said that Dr. Bailey got his idle while listening to train wheels while taking a trip. Some stories say that Professor A. R. Marsh was connected with the English department from 1886 to 1899, suggested that "Rock Chalk" might be substituted for the "Rah Hail," when he observed that it not only rhymed with Jayhawk, but was also symbolic of the chalk strata of the Cretaceous geological period which covers much of Kansas and of which there are several outcropings on Mount Oreal. Other versions says that a group of Science club members evolved the new phrase while practising the yell and throwing stones at a pile of chalk rock.
By 1898 constant usage of the yell had developed a new technique. The first three lines were changed to two, and the staccato accent gave place to the drawn out manner used today. But even then the "K.U." at the end was given quickly. It was not until about 1905 that the students and fans began elongating the "K" and the "U". To the two elongated lines they were finally added to the staccato lines, thus putting the final touch in American tones most well known.
"Rather than being only a chance association of words," says one writer, "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk, K.U. is intrinsically symbolic of the state of Kansas and its great University, 'Rock Chalk' stands for the chalk rock strat over which is spread the fertile soil of Kansas, a part of which is Mount Oread. 'Jayhawk' suggests the hardships through which the pioneers fought and labored to make Kansas a free state. 'Jayhawk' is another way of saying 'Ad Astra Per Aspera'. K.U. is the elevation for and means the University Kansas, where each year nearly five thousand students benefit the advantages of a higher education. President Roosevelt, himself an ardent son of Harvard, once called the Jayhawk cheer of K.U. the greatest college cheer ever devised. Dr. David Starr Jordan founder and former president of Stanford University, when lecturing here, paid to the Rock Chalk what is thought to be one of the highest tributes ever voiced in behalf of a college yell. He said. "The state that can produce such a yell as that must produce a great university to match it."
Hodge Podge By Howard Turtle, c 34
Mrs. Jennings actually defies hecklers in the library—she studies assiduously and does her knitting all at the same time!
Charlie Kline can't study well unless the radio is going full blast. Punk Rice studies in bed—and Julia Markham says that before she can really concentrate she has to sit in an uncovered chair and watch TV when studying late for a quiz she opens the windows and sits shivering at her books to keep from falling asleep.
Concentration comes to different people in a variety of environments. Some require absolute silence before they can cudgel their brains into absorbing factual material from a book. Others like the clackety-clack of typewriters in their study chambers — while still others can best absorb gems of wisdom in the hilarious hurly-burly of a college "hang out."
--while all around them was pandemonium.
Bob Wallace can seldom accomplish anything down in the reserve room of the library. Neither can anyone else. Too much hub-bub and too many security gals. Three people, however, who are near the entrance despite the distractions there are Harriette Sherwood, Sam Halper and Dorothy Brinker.
Martha Dodge often gets up at four in the morning to get her lessons. Hans Pitzezt can study any where, but he has to run his fingers through his hair constantly. Ken Slocum and Frank Theis have been seen delving into their law books from a booth in Coe's No. 2.
This linoleum cut of Old Snow Hall was designed by a student in the University department of architecture and design. The view is from the steps of Watson library looking northwest toward the back of the former Campus landmark.
