Toucan Transformed Chalkie Becomes Jayhawk
Jayhawks, Jayhawks, everywhere, and not a one can fly.
Of course they can't. The little bird with the big beak is a myth. Anyone who has ever gone to KU knows this.
But once the school on the Hill did have such a bird and it could fly. In 1928 KU had a living Jayhawk.
Well, almost anyway.
The bird was a toucan. The story of how this tropical bird was transformed into a Jayhawk first appeared in the Nov. 25, 1928 issue of The Daily Kansan.
It all started when Thomas W. Caffey, a student who lived at the Pi Upsilon fraternity house, received a gift from Central America.
The gift was the toucan. The bird was bright yellow and black and had a huge beak. It did not take much of a stretch of the imagination to see that this bird resembled the famous KU mascot,
So, the owner offered the toucan as the first
University mascot. The bird, which represented the spirit of Kansas, was appropriately named "Chalkie."
Chalkie was tended by the pledges of the fraternity house. The bird gained nation-wide recognition during its brief reign as the University mascot.
Then tragedy struck. On the night before the 1928 homecoming game with Missouri a freshman was watching the bird. The November night was cold and the pledge put the bird's cage on a radiator.
During the night, the heat went off and the toucan died. Kansas weather was too much for the famous emigrant from the tropics.
Chalkie's death proved to be a bad omen. The Jayhawkers lost to Missouri the following day and all joy was gone from homecoming festivities.
The only flesh and blood Jayhawk was stuffed and remained in the thick of campus life for many years. Finally, the bird was lost or stolen. Its whereabouts remain a mystery today.
Each year many students from different lands visit and attend KU. What brings them to our campus? Why have they chosen Kansas over other schools?
Foreign Students Have Varied Reasons for Coming to KU
Sophian Ralli, Patras, Ahaia,
Greece, sophomore, she said she made
her decision to attend Kansas after a
visit to the campus in 1955. She came to
the U.S. as a Rotary International
Exchange Student. Miss Ralli said
she chose Kansas because it has a
very good reputation in her home
country. She is majoring in work
for the diplomatic service.
Some of the answers to these questions were found this week in an interview with five foreign students attending the University.
Michael John Wilson, Belfast, North Ireland graduate student, is spending his first year on this campus. He said he came to KU because the geography department, in which he is majoring, is very "suitable." One of the things in which he expressed surprise was the fact that he was able to fall into the American way of life so quickly.
Gerald P. Andre, Honolulu, Hawaii freshman, is a Naval ROTC cadet attending Kansas on a ROTC scholarship. He said that the University of Kansas was "picked out for me" on the scholarship. Andre plans to major in finance.

When the building had its public opening in 1872, Chancellor John Fraser said: consisted of a faculty of 10 and a
Today it houses the departments of English, German, home economics, Latin and Greek, Romance Languages, correspondence study, the Wilcox Museum, and the extension division.
The building was constructed when the old North College building began to get too small. Money for its construction came from proceeds of a bond issue voted by the people of Lawrence.
"Now, by the grace of God, we have a building nearly completed that has not its peer in the whole land. This building was not erected by the princely aid of a nobleman or millionaire, but it is the work of the people, the toiling thousands of our blood-bought Kansas."
Fraser as it stands now looks just as it did on that opening day in 1872. It has served generation after generation of KU students. All chancellors, from General Fraser to Dr. E. H. Lindley, had their offices in the building.
The building was originally called University Hall. In those days KU
Fraser had its first graduation exercises in 1873 in what is now its theater. A prankster lowered a skeleton through an opening in the ceiling just as Chancellor Fraser was giving the main address of the day. In 1896 its name was changed to Fraser Hall to honor KU's first chancellor.

The Kansas Law Review, a legal periodical entering its seventh year of publication, offers students working on it an opportunity to do technical work research and writing.
Kansas Law Review Offers Students Practical Work
James K. Logan, assistant professor of law and adviser for the Review, said the magazine gives students practical experience which will help them all their lives.
Other sections of the Review feature book reviews by professors. Opinions of district judges on certain cases are also printed.
Students working on the Review submit "case notes," which are reviews of recent court decisions, and comments," which deal with specific areas of the law.
The Review is made up of leading articles by professors, lawyers and judges. They consist of writings describing proposed legislation or current developments in particular legal work.
The Review is published four times during the school year. One of the biggest articles this year will be a symposium of legal problems of farmers.
Membership is open to students of high academic achievement. They must submit a "casenote" suitable for publication and do other work on the periodical such as proof-reading or footnote checking.
Other board members are Jack Brand, Lawrence, sections editor; Tom Hampton, Salina, and Don Pearson, Lawrence, note editors; and Dick Loyd, El Dorado, honor committee representative. All are third-year law students.
Editor-in-chief of the Review is Donald L. Cordes, Manhattan, third-year law. Associate editors are Robert Howard, Emporia, and Richard Coffelt, Lawrence, third-year law.
Dennis Smith, Hutchinson, second-year, is business manager.
