Elusive Jayhawk Is Jack-of-All-Trades
By JAN KESSINGER
Kansan Staff Writer
Throughout Kansas, rumors,
mysteries and a mysterious animal that point
with the abominable snowman,
Bigfoot and the Phoenix in its
home.
This animal was reportedly sighted by Coronado when he trekked into Kansas in search of the lost cities of gold. Several other animals ridden their airplane wings. Citizens in the Manhattan area have reported devastating raids by it. More unconfirmed raids were reported in Missouri just before and during the Civil War.
THIS ANIMAL is the Jayhawk. A Kansas native, the bird has never been photographed, but
several artists' conceptions are in circulation.
A trip to the Kansas Union bookstore revealed several instances of kids building a bridge, broadcasting, conacing a potion with drugs, typing press releases and emails, baby Jayhawks trailing behind.
A fierce fleece showed the Jamaican man, who had a boarded back and a spike mailed through it. His eyes reflected a desire to dismember everyone in his room.

senator from Kansas and a
noteor of the 19th century, did

"Were it not that nature forbids adulterous confusion of her types, and the antagonism between Jayahua is a mule among birds, the illicific offspring of some aerial intrigue endowed with the most attributes of its progenitors.
"There was an epoch when the Jayhawk flew in our troubled atmosphere. It was a waist with a fierce bark by which I caught many. A Wormi's worm."
He gave the first commencement address at the University of Kansas, and was named as the president of the Statuary Hall in the United States Capital. He did not receive much credit for his knowledge of the history.
Ingalls received many honors
POLITICIANS today shy away from the debate about Jayhawk. When President Nixon came to Kansas, he shunned the chance we wear a Jayhawk on his hip. (AP)
The Jayhawk was adopted as a visible mascot for KU about 110. Henry "Hank" Maloy, a cartoonist for the University Daily Kansas conceived the idea when he saw Jayhawk in a downtown store window.
Maloy took this idea and drew a bird to go with the "Rock Chalk Yell." KU had no official
masacet, but a bulldog was led onto the football field before each game. The Jahawn quickly was adopted by the students. Now a huge Jahawk patrols the campus, and is maintained by demure baby hawk.
No explanation is available as to why it took so long for the Jayawhackers to adopt the Jayhawk and draw on their skills from the 1890's, the athletic teams were known as Jayhawkers and the yearbook took the name in

The Jayhawk with shoes, but little else. He said that the shoes were made for the bird in kicking other mascots.
After several changes, the modern Jayahawk now adorns the back windows of thousands of cars.
"Hence, the 'Happy Jayhawk.' This bird is an adaptation from all the other Jayhawks, but especially from one artist who was on campus while I was there. Sandy called the artist, Gene "You will Harris," the most impressive Jayhawk designer of all time."
The present Jayhawk design,
drawn by Sandy, was
copyrighted Sandy used the
design in decals and stickers to
make money.
When Sandy left KU in 1948, he said he did not need the copyright license required by the bookstore for a nominal fee. The store paid $250 for the rights to Sandy's drawing of the Jayhawk. He also engaged in verifying agency in Kansas City in 1952. He was involved with manufacturers and advertising for them. He sold out in 1969 to become a management consultant.
KU Medical Center Expansion Includes New Curriculum, Building
By MARGE LEVIT Kansan Staff Writer
Growth and expansion were two words that kept recurring, as William R. Rieke, vice chancellor of the University, about the many paths the University of Kansas Medical Center has taken during the past year in order to increase speciality referral and enced hospital for the entire state.
He said the expansion program had included:
—instituting an accelerated three-year medical school curriculum
-opening a branch of the Medical Center at Wichita State University
Sandy never claimed to have seen a Jayhawk but authorities throughout the land have accused this version of the Jayhawk.
constructing additional facilities for patient care and medical student training
—launching an affirmative action program to increase participation of minorities in all phases of the Medical Center's work.
WITHIN THE past 12 months, several new facilities were opened or started. Heek said, "We have a change in chase and remodeling of a former convalescent home on the south edge of the Medical Center campus to provide new quarters for the Department of Family Practice. This project was made possible from the Endowment Association."
Construction on a new $500,000.
Burn Center to be housed in the
old pediatrics ward, was started
in September. All funds for the
Burn Center came from contributions and no state or federal monies were being used, Rieke said.
The biggest project now under way is the Kansas Mental Retardation Board's new buildings. One of them now houses the Children's Rehabilitation Unit. The second, the Ralph Murray School, was completed in January. The third, a clinical facility, is scheduled for completion later this year. It will be named for Dr. Herbert C. Miller, long-time head of the pediatric department at Kansas State.
Hal Sandy, a student at KU in 1946 was asked to design a Jahayhawk that was not as ferocious as its predecessors.
THE MENTAL retardation program involves three locations in the state. They are the Medical Center campus, the Lawrence campus, and the state training hospital at Parsons, Kansas.
A $7 million expansion program will begin next year, Rieke said, as construction starts on the campus and in education services; a basic science teaching building, and an addition to the hospital. Of the total sum, $64 million will come from the sale of revenue bonds authorized by the state and approximately $10 from a recent federal grant.
Briek said this expansion will help provide more facilities for training more physicians.

With that prospect in view, the School of Medicine started an accelerated three-year cur-
"There are 154 students enrolled in that first-year class. We hope we can increase it to 200 first-year students by 1974."

said, but almost all the entering
students have been enrolled.
Providing students with actual clinical experience is a continuing problem the medical school must face. Rieke commented. He said the医学院 of the Medical Center at Wichita State University would provide one answer. A pilot group of students will start working in Wichita in three private hospitals and another in a real hospital there some time this year.
Rieke said he would like to see the Medical Center develop affiliations with hospitals in other parts of the state, too.
He explained that it was a two-way street. Physicians from the medical school and would serve as part-time members of the medical school faculty and would serve as mentors for the students assigned to their com-

Bicke said success hinged partly on convincing enough out-of-town students from their private practices to work with the program, often at a facility.
THIS "COMMUNITY residency" plan is for students who have completed their basic medical education. Students who do not have the required course are now assigned, for one month, to be clinical trainees under the supervision of various cooperative physicians throughout the state.
The affirmative action program, intended to increase the participation of minorities in all aspects of the Medical Center's work, was completed under the direction of Chester Rempson, an assistant vice chancellor. Rempson, former assistant dean of students at the University of Chicago, is the first black adminstrator at the Medical Center.
HE IS CONCENTRATING his initial efforts, he said, on recognizing the needs for the medical school. He defined these minorities as blacks. Mexican Americans, Hispanics and women. Women now come from all backgrounds, who school enrollment, while other minorities make up 4 per cent.
