This item was granted, and the lights added much te the attract~ iveness of the recreational progrems Recreational activity on the playground was open to beth young and eld, and the attendance every evening was three and four times as much as last mumers Seven shuffleboard courts wore kept busy every evening.

The driving range was an added feature this sumer, and met with a splendid response. The tennis courts were kept in fine shape, and the installation of a drinking fountain near the courts proved a wonderful convenience for the playerse The swimming pool was kept open at regular hours every day during swmer school with Mr. Bd Hyatt in charge for the men and Miss Irene McAdoo in charge for the womens A number of co-recreational splash parties were held in the evenings, and these were exceptionally well attended. The average attendance of women at the pool was 25, with a high of 42. For the men the average attendance was 30, with en ettendance as high as 60 and 70 at the open plunge hour. Approximately 25 or 30 individuals swam during the co-recreational swimming periodse At the request of the colored students enrolled in the Sumer Session, sumer.

Obviously this amouht of time is equal to far more than a two-hour course in matter of teaching loade Of course, opinion may be that the program could be curtailed instead of being extended. And some one else might be able to accomplish more than I did in less time, = but my own feeling in the matter is that any wruaiing 40 be successful, demands much from a jonwe unless there is capable and plentiful assistance for hime I suggest that in the future whoever has charge of the program teach only the course in Community Recreation (3 hrse)e That course should be integrated with the program, and if the director does not teach the course he should cooperate with the classe 2e Budget. In the future, adequate provision must be made not only for equipment, but for leadershipe This sumer we were fortunate in being able to run the play- ground with only one paid assistants One paid person to be responsible for equipment is absolutely essential. Providing the enrollment of the Community Recreation class keeps up to 15 or above, it can furnish much needed leadership, but a budget should consider the possibility of profiding leadership at student- wage rate if necessity demandede | Of course the social program makes small expenditures constantly necessarye So I recommend that the recreative iestes work under a budget which provides for 1) publicity, 2) equipment, 3) leaders, 4) maintenance. Se Personnels As I have already inferred, the job this sumer was almost too much for one person to handlee I recognize the fact that much of the responsibility might have been delegatede For instance, as the program stood this summer it was distinctly a four-headed jobe Administratively an ideal plan would have been for the director to appoint a head and a committee to take care of = le Publicity ee Junkets 5. Social affairs 4. Playground and physical activity My reasons for not doing that were several; first, whom to find? I was handicapped in that respect because I did not know summer session students from preceding years, I didn't want to impose on already overburdened faculty, and I didn't want to risk the success of the progrem on leadership wich wi. gut have been willing but not capablee I do not mean to imply that I met with any lack of cooperation on the part of the faculty or studentse On the contrary, I enjoyed a grand response; but finding people who are enthusiastic about a program is much easier than finding people who want a definite part of its responsibilitye Secondly, a feeling that I must be very economical made me hesitate to use help which I felt should be paids and thirdly, because this whole program represented something of an innovation, I didn't readily think of persons who would fit into each groovee Since the summer's experience I have found those peoplee Se At any rate, I suggest, at least, a director of publicity and a director for social affairs, to be appointed by the main director and to work with hime That would considerably ease his jobe Ile Program le Playground The playground has aroused some very enthusiastic response from faculty, graduate students, and undergraduatese ily own feeling is that it represents @ fine opportunity for socialized play which approaches the English ideal. It showed an average of 35 = 40 persons each evening -- the smallest evening being 6 people and the largest nearly 85. We were surprised that Friday and Saturday nights proved so popular. A steady increase in patronage followed each succeeding oben: and many people have felt the playground should have been given much more publicitye Shuffleboard, croquet and archery were very popular, and the facilities in these should be increasede The more active games, of course, were popular with the younger groupe Attendance was about evenly divided between men and women, and from 3 = 10 small children were usually there. In the future some special games could be provided for theme The most popular time was between 7:30 - 8:50, and many wsiuaaen were made for lights over the grove so they could continue play after dark. My opinion is that the playground should not emphasize competitione 2e Sociel Events There were six of these, the approximate attendance at each was: Pienic e oe eee e 175 Opening Reception e e300 = 325 4 Open Houses « »« e 175 = 250 The difference in attendance at the last four parties was occasioned, I am sure, by the weather. We had two very hot nights, but even so an enthusiastic group 4e was on hande = feel it is essential that these parties embrace 4 broad program so there will be appeal to both graduate and undergraduate studentse Our regular parties always opened with a game to encourage introduction, then a mixer using simple marching and Paul Jones figures, community singing, a special attraction for each evening, and then dancing and card games, ping pong, etce We also had cold drinks for salee These parties were given at practically no expense, and I feel they were a good indication of what could be done with very little moneye I think the picnic as an opener is a good idea. It was apparent that the picnic drew a different crowd than the other parties, and for that reason another one during the summer would probably be wisee I feel it is important that the first party be more or less formal with the faculty and administration acting as hosts for the evening. And I feel it is just as important that the rest of the parties be as informal as possible with emphasis put on making the group happy, and providing for easy introductionss Sedunkets. Wines evenings appealed to an entirely different group than our other. activitiese Although their continuation is not essential, they did offer a good opportunity for introducing various departments of the University and their in- formality seemed to please those who attended. : The average attendance was around 75.

At least a half dozen evenings through the session should be left open for engagements that may materialize through the eight weekse 3e Until such time as the Union Building can be air-conditioned, it would be wonderful if an outdoor platform (3 times the size now used) could be used for dances and parties in conjunction with the playground. That would bring meny participants and many spectatorse 4.
