JAYHAWK Next Saturday K.U. trackman will fight hard to carry the Crinson and Blue colors to victory in the Kansas relays, and the stands will resound to the old Rock-Chalk Jayhawk yell, always a challenge to battle. "Rock Chalk" is derived from the name of the layer of rocks that covers much of Kansas. An unusual abundance of this chalk strata underlies the University. Perhaps that is the reason Mt. Orread does not tremble when ten thousand voices shake the rest of the earth! The "Jayhawk" is a myth of Kansas. It is neither bird nor beast, though it derives its name from that noise maker, the blue jay, and that valiant fighter, the sparrow hawk. The cheering students are living up to the reputation of the jay bird, while the men on the team fight like sparrow hawks. Not such a bad combination! In 1886 Professor E.H.S. Bailey of the chemistry department, furnished the idea for the vell. Today it is the most famous college yell of the country. It is used by Kansans every where — in France, in the Philippines, and in all parts of the globe. Wherever two Kansans may be found, though one be deaf and the other dumb—we have both—the Rock-Chalk Jayhawk will be heard booming forth. CUT-RATE EDUCATION Spring is here at last. Three members of the department of journalism faculty had guest speakers take over classes the other morning. Teachers at the University next year will receive a cut in salary amounting to ten percent of what they were paid this year. This wage decrease will specifically affect those whose wages are being reduced. But it will not affect the general tone of the University. Students will be educated here in as large numbers, and with the same thoroughness of training as in past years. Knowledge, or the dispensation of it, is not a quantity that can be measured in dollars and cents. Nor can the amount of knowledge that a teacher is capable of imparting be measured by a monetary scale. When a teacher conducts a course of instruction he is fulfilling a human need—the need of education—and if he has the desire to instruct to the best of his ability, he will do whether he is drawing a prosperous salary or a tenness little. One generation has a responsibility to the next generation, in that it should perform a transfer of training. There should be a passing down of ideas, knowledge, and experience from the older people to youth. Institutions of learning have been created for this purpose and the agents of the work are the teachers. If they are sincere in their task, and we believe that in the main they are, they will carry on their courses with the same energy and efficiency as always. CHANGING ATTITUDES All over the world the average citizen is rising to the occasion in heroic fashion in meeting the demands of his government to raise funds needed to face the financial chaos which has threatened all countries. In England the attitude of the public is demonstrated when thousands stand in line for hours in order to pay their taxes quickly and ahead of time so that their government will have facilities for keeping its international reputation on a high level and meet a threatened treasury deficit. In the United States the attitude of the public is shown in the astounding lack of grumbling over the increase in taxes to meet a condition brought on by a long governmental spending carry. When taking into consideration the financial condition of the average American and the British citizen it is remarkable that these two do not rebel when more channels for the outlet of their dwindling incomes are forced upon them. In England it is surprising; in normal times the British taxpayer carries the heaviest burden of any in the world, without having this burden hoisted still higher. In the United States the response to the government's demands is surprising, since these increased demands were brought on by extravagance and waste, and as yet there has been shown very little inclination by the government to cut down on its extravagance at the expense of the taxpayer. There is a limit to all things, even patience, however. The taxpayer's pocket is not a bottomless pit, and the government must realize this fact. If it must raise taxes then it must keep strict account of the spending of this tax money. Unnecessary expenditures for activities added during the days of prosperity must be cut down or abolished. Living habits of the public have been made simpler by a reduced income, and the habits of government should follow a similar simplification.

THE FIRST SWIM Along about this time of the year, when the old folks were warning each other that there would still be another freeze to kill the peach buds, we boys would sort of wander down around the heart in the crook on a hayday. We never advertised the fact before the groomed men that we were making the great adventure of taking the first swim of the year. That first cold dip of the spring is one of the experiences that the rural boy undergoes to prepare him to be the great and hardy man which so many of them finally become. But mothers somehow have the idea that it is more conducive to pneumonia than to greatness of character or achievement. So the first swim was a rather secretive affair. After the customary parliamentary exercises of daring each other to be the first to go in, and after a few scouting excursions to the edge of the woods to see if any booy was coming who might tell on us, we would finally get courage enough to expose the goosefless of wry little bodies, shirt after breeches, and stick a toe out into the water. About that time somebody would boost him from the warm shore out into belly-deep water. "Naw, it ain't cold." "Aw, it ain't cold. Jes' as warm as summer." Then the icy spray would fly from the pool toward the boys on the bank until the first rascal in the water had stood it as long as he could. After that the other baptists would take their medicine like Indians and finally all scramble shivering into their clothes. All but Jack, the piker that always backed out after he had pulled his clothes off as bravely as the rest of us. Anyway, it was over. We had been swimming and now we could bug about it to the rest of the fellows.

BECAUSE the President Hoover, first all-electric ship built in America for commercial transoceanic service, completed its first round trip to Asiatic ports. BECAUSE the Tallamacus, the first of the largest electrically propelled fleet ever laid down, was delivered to its owners. BECAUSE electrification—an American contribution to marine transportation—was adopted by the leading shipbuilding countries of the world. BECAUSE, on the high seas and on inland waterways, electrically propelled ships established new records for speed and continuous operation. General Electric engineers not only pioneered the application of electric propulsion, but have made many contributions to its development during the last two decades. By the complete electrification of the President Hoover, and the six new ships of the United Fruit Company's fleet, college-trained General Electric engineers have added another striking contribution to American shipbuilding and world trade.
