Jayhawk Campaign Notes.
Everybody Out" is a cry which is
heard about Mount Dread on rally
nights before football games. Today
the Everybody Out" is being tele-
! phoned to Jayhawker supporters thru
out Topeka to attend the K. U. dinner
at $50 o'clock at the Chamber OF
Commerce. There is this difference.
There is no threat of paddle squad"
to those who do not heed the cry. And
judging from the attendance at the
K. U. gatherings this week, paddle
squads are not necessary
"The University of Kansas has the
opportunity to become the great uni
versity of the Southwest. What you
have done with your unexampled spirit
is your response toward making this
possible" Chancellor E. H. Lindley
told the K. U. supporters Thursday
night.
