fraternities, the delegation headed by Meuser and Dells kept silent.
Important Point
The fight tonight, which is to take place before the senate committee on legislation passed a bill limiting long flight was started by fraternal men against the efforts of the state legislature to force county when they attempted to have the organized houses placed on the tax roll.
Fight Starts in Court
In the court cases which caused uphead of the efforts of the county commissioners of Douglas county to place the organized houses in Douglas county on the tax rolls the battle was started when the fraternities obtained an order from the state supreme court preventing the commissioners from collecting the tax.
Then Representative Hicks of Mitchell county introduced a bill into the state legislature that would provide for the repeal of the net which exempted Fraternities and sororites from taxation.
The fight was carried on in the committee of the house on assessment and decision-making, sensitives and the county along with student delegation appearing for taxation for the first time. The bill was received by all, but not all, and was passed by a vote of 66 to 27.
Depending on the recommendation of the senate committee which meets tonight, the action of the senate itself, will be made only in large part in the settlement of the question of fraternity taxation. If the senate reports the bill back favorably to the senate, the bill will probably be passed and signed into law. If a petition is signeted to it. If the bill is killed in the committees which meets tonight, the fraternities will still have to fight out the court action which was pending at that the Hicks Bill was introduced.

Railroads Against Sunday Shows
The 'Rock Chalk, Jayhawk' yell of the University of Kansas, which has become an nationally and worldly name, had its origin in a unique place, in that it is probably the only college with a history been originated in a Science Chalk.
Send the Kansan home.
When the yell was changed to the present form is not pretended directly by the faculty, it information the yell gradually changed through the process of evolution into the present form. The department of the department of psychology says that the 'Rock Chalk' part of the yell was originated by Prof. A. R. Marsh, English department from 1880 to 1889.
The yell which was borrowed by the University from the Science club, of 1854 to 1890, was submitted to the university in response to a president, in response to the demands for a club yell. When first submitted by Doctor Bailey the yell was simply the repetition of the words, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah, Rah. Since that time in the early eightees, the yell has evolved into the well known "Rock Chick" of today, who wrote in a book adopted by Doctor Bailey and used it for several years, until the university borrowed it from them. Prof. F. E. Melvin of the department of Physics says that the yell was adopted by on May 21, 1886, and that it was used generally by the university during the year 1888-87. Prof. M. W. Sterling corroborates Professor Melvin
Chalk Strata Suggests 'Rock Chalk'
"The Rock Chalk" was suggested to be a prehistoric geological period, the deposits of which cover the state of Kansas and of which there are several outcropings on the southern side of the state with Jachyw, it was used in places of the Roh. Rah, part of the yell." How? An original stance for a while longer.
The last change in the yell, com about some time during the year 1889, namely that of form. The yearbook of 1889, called the Helianthus, had a paper made by Frank Lloyd Wright and Franklin, then a prominent member of the Science Club of old Snow ball, with the yell printed beside him in the form roe in it. It was "Root Clock, Jay-
The yell is given twice in a rolling, drawnout evidence, and is then followed by repeating the line three times in a staccato tone of voice.
This soil which has become one of the leading college yells in the United States, and not only does it draw out but by rial exhortation Mountains declares that it is the hardest to build a farm.
The yell has not escaped being copied, but none of the yells derived from the "Rock Chalk," can have or can be original. There are perhaps a dozen colleges that have capped the yell, but the original "Rock Chalk" is still the same.
Rock Chalk Wet Wellly Known
The New York Times of November 20, 1964, reported that the game played in Baltimore, has this to say of the "Rock Chalk": "The Army has been the most effective team that has adopted from the famous Rock Chalk" of the University of Kansas. It is one of the most effective teams in the history of the game. In a story about the annual "College Night," the Tuba Tribute of November 14, 1964, won the award for the best rendered college cheer at the annual College Night in Tulsa, by giving the famous
Famous Rock Chalk-Jayhawk Yell of University of Kansas Started in Old Science Club of 1884-1890
In France during the war, because there were no divisions or regiments there, they might be assigned, the graduates of the university upon passing another group of soldiers would call out. Rock Chalk, a famous French comedian, came back from K'U., this usage of the yell was soon taken up by other Kansas soldiers and became a sure way of his death.
President Roosevelt, himself an ardent Harvard man, once called the yell the greatest college cheer ever deviled.
Perhaps the greatest distinction that has been given to ground old yell was at the Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium in 1928. There was a gathering of the no-holds-barred team from Europe at the games who decided that they would like to hear representa-
vice college yell, and asked the athletes gathered to give one. There were three of them on the globe and they agreed that the honor should be given to the University.
Thus the yell that originated in a science room and was adopted as a college yell has become the outstanding college cheer in the world today. Little girls who were born in this submitted the yell to the Science Club that it was to become so well known.
