Did you know that the original "Rock Chalk" chant began as "Raw Raw Jayhawk, KU?" Or that Baby Jay was hatched from an egg at halftime of the 1971 football game against Kansas State? If you didn't, a visit to the Hawk's Nest on the first floor of the Kansas Union could be in order.
nooks&crannies: HAWK'S NEST
Milton's employee Adam Warnecke believes the best part about the environment is the college atmosphere.
The Hawk's Nest, which opened in 1950, features Milton's coffee shop and a gaming area complete with a pool table, ping-pong, board games and a study area. Study here to learn about more than the information in your textbook. Historical artifacts line the entrance. Also on display is the original "Big Tooter" (you'll have to visit yourself to find out more about that one).

for poetry nights or for studying" Warnecke said.

Arianne Jaco, Sherman, Texas junior, has made visits to the Hawk's Nest part of her daily routine.
There are constantly people here
"I come because it is right across the street from my class and because the couches are warm." Circocco said.
"It's a quiet study area, not like the library. Plus, I'm absolutely addicted to the coffee. It's nice to support a little coffee shop." Jaco said.
Amy Cirocco, Mission Hills freshman, comes to the Hawk's Nest after every English class to wake up. Her coffee of choice is late plain.
Whether you are looking for a quiet place to study, comfy chairs or a hangout place between classes, the Hawk's Nest is a good alternative to braving the frostbitten walk back to the residence halls or noisy libraries.

Man in the Protective Mask
Sgt. Dustin Crook, Oplie sophomore, tries on a protective mask issued to him for cleaning detail. Soldiers of the 425th Transportation Detachment out of Emporia spent an hour cleaning several gas masks, better known as pro-masks. The 425th kept busy during Super Bowl weekend by cleaning pro-masks and weapons, participating in a simulated firing range and performing checks and maintenance on their tractor-trailers.
