Military Mutiny Has Broken Out at Missouri
Mutiny in the ranks of the military training department of the University of Missouri broke out following the suspension of seven men from school for failure to attend the classa. In response, the beginning of the second semester.
The discontent arose when a student reported that he had to use the time for military training to work outside or work his way through school, when he was advised by a dean to quit school and work until he could take all his work uninterrupted. As a result of his involvement in supporting and working their way through school, the student body resists the dean's view.
The University of Missouri is a land grant school and therefore has to require military training, and has recently raised the number of drill hours from three to four, with two extra hours of class work for two hours' credit. Then too there are many World War veterans who are恳 being forced to do the fundamental drills any more.
There is reported to be a spirit of rebellion in the class, and as a majority of those suspended are juniors and seniors some serious difficulty is exhibited in an understanding it is not reached between the faculty and the student body.

For Years We've Flaunted The Name, and Still We Don't Know What Our "Jayhawker" Title Is
Considerable comment is being made at present by Kansas newspapers regarding the origin of the term "Jayhawk" as applied to Kansana, and masman as the appellation is possibly used more frequently by students at the University of Kansas than anyone else it is quite natural that they should be interested in its origin.
The International Encyclopedia quite frankly states that there are several theories concerning the origin of the term, but is not able to point out any specific theory as being correct one. One theory presented is that the term was first applied to Colonel Jemison of New York, who was known among his comrades as "Jayhawk" (or "Jaywhacker") which "Jaywhacker" was corrupted. A more probable theory however is that the term as derived from "jay" and "hawk" in allusion to the prey nature of these birds. This theory is borne out by the statement made recently by Frank Robinson, of Kingman county, who located in Kansas in 1857, back in the days of the war, and whom he named "Jaywhaker" was just beginning to be current at the time and
The term was used in apparently this sense in a proclamation issued in October 1861 by Gen. James Lane, in which he declared that the people of Kansas were neither thieves, plunderers, nor jayhawkers.
in explaining its origin, he says: "The jaywalk is an English bird of aggressive, destructive and predatory disposition, which has no scraps against taking nests or food away from the nest. It is tough and tough element of Kansas settles whose only redeeming trait — if they had any— was that they opposed slavery. These organized themselves into bands of mandarins who would go by night into Missouri and there librile rate slaves, steal crops and property and ride home with them. A slaveholder had was made for him by the labor of his slaves, and that it was therefore perfectly right to take it from him. To those who would rather steal than work, his idea proved a boon. And if any of them were asked by friends where they had gotten a certain horse or saddle, or load of corn, or him, such as they relied on it!" They came to be called 'jaywhack' and the name has stuck."
