Rock Chalk Near To Poetry Says Lindsay
"Your Rock Chalk yell is the most beautiful college yell that I have ever heard," said Vachel Lindsay, during an interview with him at the Union Pacific station yesterday. "The bridge between it and real poetry is very close." He ended in a song he would typify all that is American in poetry."
"It could be whispered or danced with equal effect," he continued. "Let me offer this as a suggestion, line up a sextette of your best girl dancers and have them dance the yell, first for your honest reaction and second, to let them present it to you in all its beauty."
"Poetry should be handled without musical notation, but with as much care given to pronunciation as would be given to the score of grand opera music. It is only by taking poetry out of the book and putting it in the mouth that it can be planned to is feel poetry and then express it in any natural way.
When asked how soon he would write a K. U. poem, he said, "There is a poem to her in my heart already."
Miss Elizabeth Fleson, A.B.13. A.M.15, who is now professor of bacteriology at the State Manual Training Normal at Pittsburgh, came to Lawrence to attend the Sigma XI lectures by Dr. H.

SNOWY BAKER INVITES BOXERS TO AMERICA
Australian Promoter Has Beer Looking Over Things in America
New York, Dec. 6.-Taking the word of "Snowy" that all American boxing classes are sadly in need of talent, British ring followers consider this is the time of all times when the United States preface the English gladiators.
Baker, the Tex Rickard cf. Australia, apparently has been looking over things in America because he he's quoted as saying:
Using this tip from "Snowy," a writer under the name of "Straight Left" has the following to say in "Sporting Life (London):
"Good fighters are few and far beween in Yankeeland today just as in their countries."
"Snowy" Baker of Sydney Stadiums, Ltd., who is having an extended stay in America, has been sending home his impressions of American football and of a tour to miners centers, and it is interesting to read that he confirms what has been written time and again in this column regarding the paucity of good-class boxers in every division. "Good fighters," says Mr. Baker's foward and far outfitting boxers as in other countries." Because, outside the men of actual championship timber, there are few boxers of real class. We have
painted out repeatedly that now is the time for boxers from other countries, including our own, to take the trip across. Not only will they obtain abundance of practice and experience, but they will have the chance of getting amongst the money.
Even the second and third raters box for pursues that would be impossible here. For instance, Lew Tender and Rocky Kanea, a couple of lightweights, shared over $22,000. Tender taking f12,300, and Kansas, on a basis of 20 per cent of the gross receipts, nearly $9,850.
There is more money than ever before in boxing in America, and fewer good boxers than at any period in memory. No wonder that several of his greatest opponents had a hand in Fred Welsh, have come out again to get some of the pickings,
Jimmy Coffee, for another, came out of a retirement of three years, meeting Erinio Spalla, the Italian heavy-weight whom we know in London. Coney, despite his long illness, was a great fit for Spalla, who took a severe beating.
We read that Joe Conn, the Bow lightweight, met Spider Roach, a Californiaian, in a 12-round contest at Westbury, Connecticut, and a message received in London states that Conn won in the second round.
Berkley, Cali, Dec. 6—Following the well established custom, the men's staff of the Daily California, University of California caly newsaper, held their semi-annual banquet Saturday night at a fashionable cafe among the Bright Lights in the Big City across the bay.
Daily Californian Holds Semi-Annual Banquet
Dublin, Dec. 5 — Peace negotiations between the British government and Sinn Fein has been broken off, it was learned authoritatively today.
The banquet takes on quite a mean aspect when it is known what "dobe" was shown by the embryo journalists. Speeches, the distribution of a humorous paper for the occasion, entertainment (the girlies danced three times) and good food made the natural gathering of good fellows a very enjoyable way in which to terminate their semester's activities.

Comedy "IN FOR LIFE"
In "BEYOND"
Students of K, U, sometimes when you are feeling that life really isn't worth living after all, and that you are the most unlucky being who daily climbs to the top of Mount Ouand, cast your eyes over the student directory and see how many of your fellow students are more fortunate than you.
If you can't derive some degree of diversion from this your case of blues is nonnounced incurable.

"EXIT QUIETLY"
When Lonesome or Blue Look Over Directory and be Glad You're Not a Parrot or a Fish
Of course if you happen to be one of the forty-four Browns, or perhaps one of the forty-two Smiths, then you can't help feeling very commonplace in your group. At the Hardings, the Burroughs and the Dabbs. Perhaps you can change your name and join the ranks of the Brownes or Smythes. That at least secures more individuality. Two of our original members become Burrowhacks.
Oh! unless you stop and think and study this directory you will never know what you have in your midst. Notice that every one has a house number after their name, so don't lock for them in the Museum and don't show undue excitement if you meet some of them loose on the campus. Any day you may see the two lambes in the museum, the two birds and the Parrot, the Pencock, the three Hawks, the Crow, the two Sparrowhawks, the six Llamas, the eleven Campbells and the two Fish. Aren't you feeling better already to think that you aren't a fish or a parrot after all?
Can't you be thankful that as far back as you can recall your family tree is free of Lemon? Rejoice and be thankful if you have no Blocks or Stones in your family for some of us have. How would you grab Grub on the hill, Someone needs your sympathy, fellow students!
In the entire enrollment we have only two Husbands, which no doubt proves that college students are who want to learn. Our common struggle, traveling a common route, intermingling the Fords and Dodges with the Franklin, the Chandlers and the Packard. What an institution?
We have students of every color, White, Gray, Green, Black, and the above mentioned Browns. Occupations of every class are represented in this institution, four Miners, four Bankers, one Tanner, two Butchers, three Carpenters, three Barbers, two Farmers, three Shoehawks, four Bakers, twenty-four Millers, two Sheepards, one Wheeler for all of you, boys only, created for all of you.
Of the graves of you were aware of the five Graves on the hill? Don't even, perhaps we'll never have another. And now, ye readers, if your name hasn't been mentioned you indeed have something for which to be thankful, for you probably possess an easy melodious one such as Broadhead, Butterfield, Zickefose or Agnelli.

Miss Sprague Corrects Statement in Kansan
I certainly should not approve menus for a day which provided pork at two tables and almost no fresh vegetables," Mrs Elizabach Sprague, the president of an economics firm, said this morning in correcting statements quoted in last night's Kansan. "Personally, I would never choose a lunch of cold ham and potato to salad, much less would I cite it as in desirable diet.
"The men from two organized houses which I looked over I found to be rather generous and fairly well educated, but could have been interpreted by the
reperter so as to justify the outright statement that most of the organization houses are serving well-balanced people doing so, but I do not know of it."
