SUMMER
SESSION
Slip-Ups
by
Walt Meininger
Even after living in an apartment with the thinnest walls in Lawrence we find that writing a column for summer school school marms and grade point grabbers is going to be almost as tough as getting up for work. Maybe the thing in here, even with our distraction wired. Maybe the rest of you can help us out with this. It looks as if we'll need a lot of pipe lines.
This old business of holding four different housewarmings on four different nights for the same apartment has taken it's toll in lack of clean air and dampers around here. Guess it's much the same elsewhere.
Francis Butterfield is trying to keep John "Rag Arm" Beevar from prosecuting her she stole his bar card during enrollment yesterday. John turned his back for a minute and Francis did away with him. John aweens its grand larceny and John commits it A fine thing when University employees commit crimes on University time!

To students new and old, the Summer Session extends a hearty welcome.
DEAN R. A. SCHWEGLER
You have come from a thousand corners of the land to gain knowledge and to increase your power. We greet you with frank admiration and hope: with admiration because you are sarcastic in a well-earned period of rest for self-improvement, with patience and wisdom; with power will flow greater light and happiness for the world which you will serve.
The facilities of the University are at your command. Libraries, laboratories, the campus, a carefully chosen staff, they are yours for the benefit of the students. You must fort to provide for your profit, your convenience, your happiness.
A golden opportunity confront you. Use it. You will meet many minds. Each of them has its own burden of light, its own body of insights, its own pattern of enthusiasm. Who_er it be staff member or fellow-student, they can help to catch a richer vision of life. Cultivate them. They are worth knowing, and they will add immeasurably to your own mastery of this difficult business of potent living.
Be fair with yourself. All work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy, but all play and no work will make Jack an abortive man. You have a right to become a prince of a man, but it takes both wholesome play and honest work to make you such.
If you like the atmosphere and the opportunities which Oread and Lawrence provide, tell your friends. If we have fallen short of giving you what you had hoped to find, tell us about it. In any case we will try.
Again we bid you welcome. The hill-top is yours. Go out, explore, use, and inhabit it.

Campus Cop Says Murder Is Okay But Speed Is 86
"My only regret is that I have bu one wife to send to the country.
Sheriff George Snyder, head of the campus constabulary, wants those platooners who drive automobiles across Mount Ouch to know how they should act with their vehicles.
"First of all," the sherif said yesterday, "they MUST drive slow or I blow my whiplash. A Stop sign doesn't mean just any way, a sign does not mean just any old way.
"Furthermore we want the folks here for summer school to park as closely as possible in parking spaces so that there will be room for all."
Asked about his views on murder, mayhem and stealing, the sheriff said he would leave that up to the conscience of the individual. All he was going to take care of on the Hill was the traffic problem.
