442 THE SCROLL.There is little immediate danger of 2 -V B dying out inGeorgia through inertia. The result of the rushing campaignsat the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech. andMercer indicates ten initiates each at the first two and elevenat the last. These figures are not guaranteed to be up todate, however.—K \ Journal ior March.2 A E is making strenuous efforts to patch up her weakchapter at the University of Mississippi, where she has existedfor nearly forty years. Her chief executive, who residesat Evanston, 111., spent much time at Oxford the past fall intrying to ginger things up. The chapter letter in the DecemberJP^ora'reports only three men, with "several pledged,"however. — K .\ Journal.The K A Journal is concerned about our Japanese brother,Hidetake Taro Yegawa, Lafayette, '79. It suggests his dolefulfate in supposing that, on account of the present unpleasantnessin the Far East," his front name might be written"Hidetaken," instead of Hidetake. We haven't heard fromthe brother in some time, but if he is engaged in the warwith Russia, we doubt not that he will give a good account ofhimself. Indeed we think that all the Japs are displaying avalor which challenges the admiration of the world. Intheir assault on Port Arthur, and especially in their attemptsto sink transports to block the entrance to the harbor, theirdaring was the same as that of Hobson at Santiago. Ourhats are off to the gallant Japanese—"the Yankees of theEast."For some occult reason, the K A Journal is keeping closetabs on the condition of our chapters, especially our southernchapters. From an item in THE SCROLL, the last item inthe October issue, the Journal concludes tha;t our Tulaneand Mississippi chapters are "weak." Perhaps the news ofthe weakened condition of any of our southern chapterswould not cause K A great pain. However, we can informihe Journal that at last accounts our chapters at Tulane andMississippi were doing very well, thank you, both of themsitting up and taking nourishment regularly. We assure ouresteemed contemporary that we have inside information tothis effect which we consider quite reliable. Possibly bothchapters may survive to be chief mourners at K .V funerals,though we hope it will be a long time before they have to buycrepe for such purpose.
