Rock Chalk Yell Bequn In 1886
"Rah, rah, Jayhawk, KU" was relected as the official University Science club yell on May 21, 1886. Since that date the yell has grown to represent the entire school.
The term "Jayhawk" was used originally to describe members of the opposition. As time progressed, however, Kansans became proud of the title and willingly called themselves Jayhawks.
When the Science club was looking for a vell, the Jayhawk was chosen to represent the spirit of the cause. Then, because someone noticed that chalk strata appeared on Mt. Oread, it was suggested that "rock chalk" be substituted for "rah."
The use of the science club yell in connection with the entire school began with early oratorical contests. KU orators went to contests and found that other schools had yells. It was decided to utilize the one belonging to the science club.
The vell was chanted in a staccato beat. By 1889, the vell was changed to the rolling, drawn-out version we know today.
Players' Mugs Hang On Wall
The mugs will hang on the wall of the Green Room in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building and will be inscribed with the name and initiation date of the Player.
Each University Player will have his own personalized coffee mug this year.
The cups are earned. To become a University Player a student must accumulate eleven points.
Points are obtained by working in two of the following divisions: acting, business management, production crew, stage design, play writing, or directing.
The Green Room is located backstage of the Little Theater and underneath the scenery shop and makeup department. The students gather there to discuss plays and performances.
KU Student Gets $250 Award
David B. Farrar, Lawrence senior, has been awarded the Tom and Amy Laremore Singers scholarship for the 1957-58 year at KU.
The $250 award represents a fund given to the KU Endowment Assn. by members of Thomas Larremore's national prize-winning KU Men's Glee Club of 1926 at their 30th reunion in 1956. Larremore, now living in Jamaica, N. Y., was a law professor at KU in the 1920's and directed glee clubs here.
Farrar has been a member of the band, orchestra and choral groups at KU. He has sung lead tenor roles in opera and musical comedy productions of the University Theater.
Chemistry Of Stars To Be Told To Club
Chemistry Club members will learn about the chemical constitution of stars at 8 p.m. Thursday in 233 Malott. N. W. Storer, associate professor of astronomy, will be the speaker.
Prof. Storer majored in chemistry as an undergraduate, and studied astronomy in graduate school. He spoke at the Chemistry Club five years ago.
Italian Students Like KU; Adjust Easily And Rapidly To New Life
"When Italian students at KU defend the University against other universities after being here only a month, it's a very good sign of their adjustment to a foreign school," Mrs. Leda Barbarosa said today.

A Message from
"For wide open opportunities and intriguing projects with a sound, expanding company... Emerson Electric is the right spot for the young engineer."
"Compared to some companies in avionics and electronics work, Emerson Electric is considered a medium size company . . . and this, in my opinion, has tremendous advantages. At Emerson the individual's personal creative contribution is definitely of measurable importance to the company and is recognized as such. Consequently, his opportunities for advancement are much greater here."
"Furthermore, Emerson is a growth company. RIGHT NOW we are in the midst of the most ambitious expansion program in the Company's history. It's a soundly conceived program, based on long-range avionics and electronics projects, plus stable commercial production. This means the young engineer who joins our team at this stage will have wide open opportunities. His career won't be blocked by the discouraging constriction at middle and top levels so characteristic of companies which have already reached full growth.
"And for intriguing, man-sized jobs, at Emerson we don't take a back seat to anyone ... the magnitude, scope and variety of projects is right up there with many of the biggest in industry."
There you have Assistant Chief Methods Engineer Ed Johnson's view of career possibilities at Emerson Electric. The ink on Ed's M.E. degree was barely dry when he started with us. Opportunity has been an important factor in his success story, and after just six years with the company it isn't complete by any means.
Ed's first Emerson job was in the production department as an administrative assistant. From there he moved to a shop foreman. In his own words . . . "I wouldn't trade the experience gained there for anything. It's the most valuable in the world to me today." Next, to tool project engineer, then on to senior man in this same division. In his present position as Assistant Chief Methods Engineer, Ed has responsibility for tooling the entire Emerson plant.
In brief, here is a sample of Emerson's diversification of projects: the Commercial Division, established in 1890, ranks among the world's leaders in fractional horsepower motors and fans, and includes air conditioners, heaters, power saws and arc welders. The Electronics and Avionics Division has been a leader nationally since 1940 in design, development and manufacture of the very latest fire control systems (for example, the supersonic B-58 Hustler bomber), missiles and rockets (the Honest John, Little John and others), microwave antennas, supersonic airframes like the F-101 Voodoo and mortar locators.
Find out how you can get in on the ground floor of this fast growing, medium size company. Meet Emerson's engineering representatives and talk it over with them. If it's impossible to make a date, be sure to write to A. L. Depke for full details.
