Plans are being formulated to organize
the student body for unified singing and
effective yelling, to be used as a stimulus
to the players on the day OF the game.
On next Wednesday evening, after the
exercises of the students congress, Pro
fessor Charles NJ. Gayley will present a
new university song The Golden Bear"
as well as a revised edition of his ''Blue
and Gold"
instruction and practice in the singing
of these songs will take place. It is ex-
pected that large majority Of the stu
dent body will be present and participate
in this effort to generate more football en-
thusiasm.
An effort has been made recently on the
part of some of the students to change the
original yell 10 one which they urged
could be more easily and effectively rem
dered. They claimed that the present
yell: when given loudly and continu-
ously tore their threats, so that
they soon become unable to continue
on account of hoarSeness. The uni
versity publications have taken up
the matter and for the most part have adj
vocated the change. Some of the alumni,
hearing of the probable innovation, have
come forward in defense of the old yell and
written communications to the students
regarding their positions. One of the
letters in defense of the present yell, from
an aiumnus OF 81, reads In part as follows:
all the alumni. They know it and they
love it. To them it is the slogan of war.
1t is the shout of victory. 1t is the note of
courage even in defeat. They have given
it with will on the football field, the
diamond, the cinder path and the lake
side. Wherever the blue and gold of dear
ola Berkeley has waved the yell has been
heard. We know no other yell'
At least half dozen new wells have
been presented to the students, and some
of them even tried on the campus, but the
present indications point in the direction
of a continuance of the old warcry.
