First Campus Junket Tomorrow
CAMPUS HOUR 7 to 8 o'clock
Tuesday—Dr. R. A. Schwegler to speak at the Educational Forum in the ballroom of Memorial Union building.
wednesday-Junket to a Mineral Fairyland in Haworth hall.
A click of a button and presto, a fairyland of glowing colors! This will be the experience of persons going junketing to the fluorescent mineral display in Haworth hall tomorrow evening at 7 o'clock.
This is the first junket to points of interest on the campus which will be held each Wednesday evening during the Summerrerr Session. They are in charge of Miss Elizabeth Dinkel, assistant professor in the department of physical education.
R. P. Kercher, assistant instructor in geology, will show and explain the exhibit tomorrow which Dr. K.K. Landes, professor of Geology, has collected in the last several years. Among the specimens which will be shown are opal, fluorite, calcite, garnet, tin oxide in a matrix of calcite, and an elephant's tooth.
These are arranged on a red velvet background which, under the ultra-violet light, turns to a deep purple and sets off to perfection the predominate colors of glowing rose and blue. A piece of glazed pottery, ordinary appearing in daylight, becomes curiously mottled, and a brown stone becomes fantastically traced with yellow.
'Faculty Wives Entertain
"Spouses" of Summer Students
The wives of summer school students in the Department of Education will be entertained by the wives of resident faculty members of the Department on Wednesday, June 15, at 2:30 o'clock, at the home of Mrs. F.P.

Over 100 Persons Attend Indoor Picnic
Singing, Ping Pong, Tennis, Dancing Plays Big Part in Entertainment For Summer Sessionites
More than 100 persons had a rollicking good time at the all-school picnic held at Robinson Gymnasium yesterday evening. Unsettled weather conditions forced the picnickers indoors and the plans to hold festivities at Brown's Grove were abandoned early yesterday afternoon.
Department Head Selected
Prof. W. H. Shoemaker To Direct Romance Languages
Languages
Two appointments, one to head the department of romance languages and one in the department of German, were announced yesterday by Chancellor E. H. Lindley. William H. Shoemaker, for the past five years assistant professor of modern languages at Princeton University, will become professor of romance languages and chairman of the department next fall. Alan Holske, instructor in German at Princeton the past two years, will be assistant professor of German.
Professor Hoiske succeeds Prof.
George Mefcalf who goes to Washington University at St. Louis. Receiving his A.B. degree from Harvard in 1923 and Ph.D. in 1936, he was an instructor at Princeton from 1927 to 1930 and part time at Harvard from 1930 to 1935. During the academic year 1935-36, he studied at the University of Leipzig under a Harvard Sheldon Travel fellowship.
Professor Shoemaker received degrees from Princeton in 1924, (B.A.), 1928 (M.A.), and 1933 (Ph.D.), succeeds Prof. Charles Qualia, who resigned a year ago to return to Lubbock, Texas. He taught for two years at Lake Forest Academy (Illinois) and studied for brief periods at the University of Pennsylvania, University of Chicago, and the Residence de Estudiantes in Madrid. Having visited Spain three times, he has written on early Spanish drama and stage and is secretary of the Medern Language Association of America's Spanish Discussion Group II. He is married and he two small sons.

Ping pong proved to be popular while badminton, dodgeball, darts, deck tennis, volleyball and shuffle board each had their share of players and fans. Tables were supplied for those wishing to play cards, while those who wished to sit and chat found facilities close by.
The food, while it lacked the true picnic flavor that is often supplied by the addition of a little honest-to-goodness soil, or an ant or two, was relished by the crowd. Miss Hermina Zipple, director of University food service, served cafeteria style from one of the classrooms on the second floor of the gymnasium. And after persons had eaten salad, ham, beans, pickles, rolls, and ice cream bars, and had drunk some lemonade and coffee, they felt as though they had been to a picnic.
After supper, Ray Wright, Lawrence business man, lead the group in singing. Then a number of the picnickers returned to the ping pong tables and dart courts while others took part in the dancing on the main floor of the gymnasium.
While there may be some aching muscles today, there won't be the anguish from chigger bites that usually are a part of the "day after the picnic feeling."
