TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1909
The Ottawa Campus says the school at Ottawa has just got through wasting a week on foolish examinations that serve no purpose in the world except to kill time and test the power of endurance of the students. The paper asserts that all the instructors knew who should be given credit in the work under them long before "quizz" week. To be real frank it does seem like a farce to spend a whole week trying to determine whether a student shall be given credit for what he has done in a certain class. After spending four months with a student in a class it does seem that a week is a little too long to spend in finding out whether or not the student has really done his work. Is it good for the students? No we think not. If spasmodic spells of study are good and long periods of lax work are beneficial then quizzes are good things. Sitting up until two o'clock at night for a week is not, however, best for the health or scholastic standing of the student body.
Alas, poor Reginald, this is a life of bitter disappointment. When it began to look as though the county would distribute pocket money to certain young men on the hill in return for their evidence in the "Bull" Drake case, "Bull" staged a coup d'etat and frustrated the fondest ambitions and blasted the dearest hopes of the needy by ignominiously pleading guilty. And this is the season of the year, too, when spare change is several degrees below the high water mark.
Two Famous Opinions.
Professor Carruth, who is running for mayor, has founded a scholarship for Lawrence high school pupils. But the same amount of money properly distributed in the Lawrence bottoms would have gotten him more votes.-Dod Gaston, Topeka Capital.
W. H. Carruth continues his candidacy for mayor of Lawrence, notwithstanding the frantic and somewhat amusing appeals of the Gazette, which insists that he should come down from his perch, in the interests of harmony and such things. The Gazette's editorial attitude in this crisis is attracting much attention in Lawrence; some call it inspiration and others call it rot.-Walt Mason, Emporia Gazette.
HIGH HONOR TO DEAN GREEN.
Elected President of the State Bar Association.
Dean J. W. Green of the law school was elected president of the Kansas Bar Association at its twenty-fifth annual meeting held in Topeka last Thursday and Friday. Dean Green has taken an active interest in the lawyer's organization since its very inception. Many of the lawyers of the state have studied under "Uncle Jimmie" and they took their opportunity of showing their appreciation.
The Bar association is composed of all the prominent attorneys of the state. Its object is the promotion of legal interests and the discussion of the new laws passed from year to year.
At the same meeting Professor W. E. Higgins was appointed chairman of a committee to consider and report on the subject of crimes and criminal procedure at the next annual meeting.
The Exodus Starts.
J. Carroll Braden, a sophomore in the college, left this morning for his home in Rocky Ford, Colorado, where he may soon enter the University of Colorado.

Our Kansas Yell.
"Rock, Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U.," the University yell, has this history, according to the Kansas City Journal: Kansas University has a Science club, which has an annual frolic, at which times the organization goes under the name of "It." At one of these festal gatherings, in 1883, and before that time the University was without a slogan, talk started on the subject. Professor E. H. S. Bailey, in charge of the department of chemistry, was at the meeting, and Bailey is named as the father of the yell. He suggested the words "Jay Hawk" as being distinctly appropriate to Kansas. That suited. Someone asked for a word that rhymed. Again something having pointed Kansas qualities was suggested in "Rock Chalk." Kansas has lots of limestone—lots of chalky rock, and the second line was quickly framed. Others were suggested but quickly abandoned. The "K. U." was then added. The "It" club devoted the rest of the evening to trying the yell. It sounded good. At first they simply barked it out in a plain, snappy way. Later years have brought the long sing-song vocalization, and the deflection of the "U," which really gives the yell its resonant, full-throated sound.
R. E. Scammon Gets Appointment.
