Recreational Facilities 'Tops' This Summer
★ Best Summer Session Program Ever To Be Offered; Allen Plans Extension Next Summer
The 1939 Summer Session has seen the development of the most extensive recreational program in the history of the sessions. Dr. F. C. Allen, recreational director, said yesterday however that the program was "really just getting under way." He plans to give the things "rolling" and his plans for next year feature development toward the future.
This summer's program has included picnics, open houses in the Union building, co-recreational swimming, games at the newly lighted Quadrangle, and other sporting events.
The Big Six National Softball League title for the summer went to the Wildcats, symbolic of Kansas State College. The team was captained by Lawrence Stanton, and after winning the championship the Wildcats went on to defeat the League All-Stars 9-8 in an extra inning game.
Cyclones Come Back
The Cyclones, after a bad start, came back to finish second and the Tigers, Cornhuskers, Jayhawkers and Sooners finished in that order. The Cyclones were aided in their blazing finish by the pitching and hitting of "Lefty" Joe Wilkerson.
After the regular season closed an all-star team was picked from the league teams, and were defeated 6.5 in an extra inning battle with the North Lawrence All-Stars.
A highlight of Hill activities has been the lighted Quadrangle, east of Robinson gymnasium. Facilities were provided for the whole family and included equipment for shuffleboard, croquet, volleyball, ping pong, archery, badminton, and Goal-Hi, Doctor Allen's new game. Biomics Draw. Crowds
The first University picnic was held at the gymnasium and drew a large number of students and faculty members. The second and last was held in the Quadrangle and in Robinson gymnasium and was one of the most successful of the school parties this summer. Good food and plenty of entertainment proved to be a hard combination to beat.
The open houses held in the Union building had the regular term Midweeks bested for variety of entertainment, and refreshments were available for guests as soon as they began to feel the heat. Dancing, entertainment given by students or by imported talent, community singing and other games combined to put the parties over. Members of Doctor Allen's class in Community Recreation were in charge of most of the summer's entertainment.
Driving Range - Footwear
Driving Range a Feature
The driving range back of the gymnasium is an added feature which will be carried over into the regular school session. Doctor Alen plans to light the range if the proper arrangements can be made.
Tennis ad golf tournaments have taken care of these popular sports. One of the most popular activities has been swimming, and the co-recreational "splash" parties have drawn capacity crowds.
TRAFFIC PROBLEM EASED
I want to thank the Summer Session students and faculty members who have co-operated so well in obeying traffic regulations. They have made my job much easier and have lessened the dangers connected with traffic on the Hill.

Evelyn Herriman Wins Free Throw Contest
The free-throwing contest for women ended last week at the Quadrangle with Evelyn Herriman making the greatest number of throws out of 100 tries. The Goal-Hi goal was used for the contest.
Evelyn made 53 good toes for first place, and was followed by Virginia Bell with 51, and Mickie Learned with 40. There were 14 entrants.
Stouffers To Northwest On Trip
E. B. Stouffer, dean of the Graduate School, and Mrs. Stouffer left Friday for a month's vacation in northwestern United States. Dean Stouffer will attend the convention of the American Mathematical society at Madison, Wis., the first week in September before returning to Lawrence.
An Alaskin delegate to the Elks' national convention at St. Louis was arrested because he was walking around a hotel clad in his underwear. His action, he said, was in protest against the heat. Those St. Louis police must be sticklers for conventionalities.

them around in front of the library instead. Maybe you've noticed.

Before I get all tangled up in a lot of mawkish balderdash I want to thank Walt for his swell introductory paragraphs. Of course I haven't seen them yet, but then I'm sure an old cliche expert like Walt knows how to give a guy like me a good build-up.
Those rumors being wafted around the campus about a big music merger are true. Henry Miller, dance band
booker, and Dale "Brodie" Schroff have partner-shipped in the purchase of bands formerly belonging to Louie Kuhn and Clyde Smith. Monikered "Dale Brodie and His Band," the Kuhn org will henceforth be fronted by Brodie. Clyde Smith will continue to wield the baton for the other band which, by the way, opens at the 400 Club in Wichita come Aug. 29.
Dale has dropped the Schroff on grounds that it is hard to pronounce, difficult to spell, and terrible to remember. He acquired the nickname "Brodie" several years ago when filled with ecstacy or something better he attempted to jump from the roof of a tall hotel in Tulsa. Iad he succeeded in his Steve Brodie act, the middle-west would have lost what "Downbeat" rightly terms a leading virtuoso of the dixie-land trumpet.
Raymond Derr, a summer vaca-
tioner on Mt. Oread, remarks "News from the fashion centers indicates that it's going to be a cool fall for knees."
But as a Mr. Issa Newton was wont to say, "Everything that goes up must come down." And possibly that goes for women's skirts.
Such talk is all Greek to me, but it's said that sonorities Alpha Phi and Tri Delt may, in addition to Delta Gamma, make an appearance on the Campus in the not too distant future. And add sounds of A.T.O.'s moving off the rural route to inhabit a new house just north of the Acacia lean-to on the old Kappa Sig ruins.

The University Daily Kansan
A Paper That Serves Your Interests Better
He's an old-timer. He remembers the Panic of '93. When Dewey was victorious at Manila Bay, he was in the crowds that whooped it up with some high-wide-and-handsome celebrating. Teddy was waving the big stick while he, and men like him, were leading heated discussions around cracker barrels up and down the country. Yes, and he can remember when he was in college, the days when he was a young man, the days when he made friends by the score and learned to love the University where he was able to make his later life richer. Yes, richer! But not in money—by which some of us measure success—but in living with people in an atmosphere of tolerance!
