'Kansas Engineer' Pokes Fun
By Ron Gallagher
Men of Marvin may go to any lengths for a unique engineering exposition.
According to a full page Engineering Exposition advertisement in the last issue of the Kansas Engineer this might mean a trip down Jayhawk Blvd. for Uncle Jimmy Green.
The exposition will be held April 21 and 22.
THE AD SHOWS a relocated, redecorated version of the Jimmy Green statue (right) in front of Marvin Hall. The explanation under the picture reads, "As a prospect for the grand finale of the Exposition the Men of Marvin are devising methods by which Jimmy Green and Friend will be relocated as shown above."
James McMullan, Long Beach, N. Y. senior and co-editor-in-chief of the magazine, said the ad was intended only to be humorous and such plans are not actually underway. However McMullan did express interest in a resumption of the rivalry between the groups from Green and Marvin Halls.
"Things have been kinda dead," McMullan said. "It (the ad) might add a new spark of life to the friendly rivalry that has always existed between us."
BUT THE RIVALRY has not always been friendly, and Jimmy Green has often been the scapegoat.
In fact it started as a bloody fast swinging riot in the north wing of Fraser on St. Patrick's Day of 1892. Black eyes and bloody noses were sported by both engineers and law students. The "wearing o'the green" was challenged by the engineers and it evolved into a brawl that couldn't be forgotten for over half a century.
Jimmy Green was a professor in the School of Law at the time. Because of his popularity law students were careful to wear green ribbons on St. Pat's Day. There was a series of misunderstandings between the two groups and the engineers decided the ribbons had to go.
FOR MANY YEARS afterward the two groups would square off for some kind of skirmish on the Saint's feast day. The erection of Jimmy Green's statue in 1922 gave engineers a new battle ground and a coat of green paint for the statue became as much of a tradition as the Saint's day.
At one time the rivalry became so bitter that engineers on campus would not speak to law students
The rivalry has finally died down until it is now hardly observed at all.
McMullan said he would not like to see anything like the painting episodes start again. But he did think a resumption of the tug-of-wars, which were held in the early 1950's, would be interesting.
Thefts Reported
Campus Police say that articles valued at $195 were reported stolen last week. This included two billfolds, one purse and a chair.
Templin Hall reported the loss of a chair. The chair is an aqua-blue tweed, barrel type, valued at $50-$100.
Robert L. Carnahan, Wichita freshman, reported losing a black leather billfold containing $30.
Calvin B. Almquist, Bridgeport freshman, reported losing a black leather billfold containing $2.
Judith A. Dickey, Goodland freshman, received a call from a student who found her purse, but $10 in cash and other items were gone.
Law School Admission Test Set for April 15
The Law School Admission Test will be given April 15 in Kansas City and Topeka. This is the last time before August that students interested in making application to the School of Law may take this required aptitude test.
Application for the tests should be made by writing directly to Law School Admission Tests, Education Testing Service, P. O. Box 592, Princeton, N. J. The completed application form, together with the required fee of $10, must be received in Princeton at least 14 days prior to the test date.
