Hospital Fees Increased New Fees Will Enable Better and More Exp. patient Dispensaru Service
Improvement of the student health service at the University of Kansas will be made possible under the $5 a semester fee, just authorized by the Kansas Board of Regents. It is also authorized for Kansas State College.
"The principal change," said R. I. Canutez, director of health service, "will be in the improvement of the dispensary serve for the students. A fourth full-time physician will be added to the staff. With the director, the woman physician, and the student, a specialist to an internie, it will be possible to give better service to the students, and to make it more speedy.
"Our first objective is improvement of present services, but as fast as possible we would like to add a little more equipment in a small way, we gave a health checkup to graduating seniors. All entering students have this health examination; we would like to make a change as they finish their work here."
"In addition to the fourth physician, negotiations are under way to get on a part-time basis, a competent counselor and psychiatrist. Many students come with problems that need the advice of a person especially trained. We expect to work at tuberculine and Wasserman tests."
Dr. Caputeson said the $5 fee is

To you who have been on the campus before, the Summer Session needs no introduction. To those of you who are newcomers to the campus we with simply to say that the journey is yours during your stay with us.
Every facility for work and play is at your command. Use them, and grow by their use. The program is one of heavy concentration. The program does not delay or hesitate to each day's work as it falls die.
But all work and no play is doubtful hygienis, whether of mind or body. Familiarise yourself with the techniques that appeals to your want.
Cultivate your classmates, your fellow students in the session. The group is democratic, and is responsive to the smile of good will. In many cases, the instructor is often best learned from your fellows rather than from books.
With most cordial expressions or good will,
And lastly, if we can give you any special help in solving your problems letting them to the office of a friend or colleague is crucial when all else fails.
Contact your faculty. They are human, just like you, and they will be glad to add the note of human fellowship which will make the memory of your stay on Mount Oread a garden spot in your life.
A recent series of articles in the University Daily Kanen, pointing out possibilities for new buildings or the Campus, recalls the fact that the Memorial Union stands today in incomplete, according to the original document, but when it was begun in 1925, it was intended to construct an additional wing on the west end of the north wall. The first move toward construction of the Union was made in 1919 when a committee, headed by Chancellor Frank Strong, recommended such a building, along with a new tower, to the University men and women who died in the World War.
Yours,
Raymond A. Schwegler,
The Director,
The outgrowth of an idea germinated at the University of Cambridge in England some 120 years ago, the Kansas Union is one of 42 throughout the United States representation of more than 50 million dollars.
The Director
The past year has been an "average" one, with a heavy run of general service, but no epidemic. The only death at the hospital was that of the student beaten on the highway between here and Topka.
The Memorial Union Building is an important social agency for more than 12800 persons every month during the regular term, and it has also proved to be of especial interest to Summer Session students. Offering meeting and banquet facilities open to all University groups, the Memorial Union serves more than fifty student organizations. Group meetings no longer need to draw some 7,000 to the building monthly.

waged by students, members of the faculty and alumni, obtained pledges totaling $695,384 from 11,800 persons. In the fall of 2015, lasting two years, the Union was partially completed so that the dining rooms, lounges and reading rooms were available. The cost of these facilities for the Union Corporation then was organized to carry on the financial and fiscal affairs of the project. Originally headed by Chancellor E. H. Lindley, the university hired Mr. McFarlane Hill '96.
Student demand on facilities of the Memorial Union has increased so much that a planned expansion of the building is a virtual necessity. In recognition of this increasing patronage, additions were made and more are planned for next year.
The building, was furnished in the traditional Kansas "pay as you go" manner. This policy, safe as it is, nevertheless led to the use of some tables and chairs finished, wall unplastered. As pledges matured, the Union was furnished gradually and brought near to completion so that today only a portion of the sub-basement and about two floors on the third floor remain unfinished.
A section of the third floor has been partially finished to provide office space for the Jahayha magraqi staff and facilities in the sub-basement to

Cloudy Skies Greet Summer Students
Thirty-sixth Annual Summer Session Begins Today; Over 200 Courses in Eight Schools Are Offered by the University
While the sun played hide-and-go-seek behind the clouds over Mount Oread yesterday, hundreds of students completed their registration and enrollment for the thirty-sixth Summer Session of the University of Kansas, which begins today.
Hear Dykstra Monday
The Summer Session is in charge of Dr. Raymond A. Schweiger, dean of the School of Education, who has been the director since 1924.
'Education Must Understand Democracy to Effect a Common Purpose.' He Saus
Doctor Dykstra, a former professor of political science here, is now president of the University of Wisconsin.
A seven-point program for American Education, aimed at furthering a common purpose in a world of "warring philosophies" was outlined by Dr. Clairecon Dykstra in his address on "Democracy and Education" Monday night at the sixteenth commencement of the University.
"Only a conscious educational program can effect a common purpose," said Doctor Dykstra. "And such a program is one that represents democracy as a way of life and a nourishing of the underlying values upon which society depends for its existence. It requires that we respect our people, our past and that we face the future."
"Education is committed to the improvement of the society in which we live. Our education must repudiate government by force whether it is good for us or not. The education must teach that the democratic process is not automatic.
"To be loyal to its commitments in a democracy, education must illustrate the spirit and procedure in teaching, and it should be applied to the solutions of the problems of society. Education and its leadership cannot blink the fact that the democratic idea is widely childlike. The five flies of eternal virality."
For the purpose of his address, Dykstra defined democracy as "aspiration centering around the belief in the maximum enhancement of the individual life." He also said that "in the largest sense democracy empowers individuals, if a free instrument, must eventually bring about the democracy as a way of life. Education in its inclusive sense promotes human values, the dignity and excellence of the individual, and universal understandings. It makes for social awareness and the development of mutual trust among people, and the general good. It develops individual and social responsibilities. This too, is the content of democracy and the democratic way of life." At the close of the services Chancellor H. L. Libville told the seniors, "Right through, college men have received the training they are required to take employment below the level of your training, what then? Make yourself indispensable
"Man learned long ago it was possible to modify the physical condition under which he lived. We learned that he loved new appliances. In the same way I would like to speak to you about mental air conditioning by which we change the environment in which humans live in human relations."
Chancellor Lindley read a letter to the seniors from Gov. Walter A. Huxman, who was unable to attend the program, a part of which reads: "Congratulations upon the completion of your course of study. You are entitled to this, because it takes application and determination for one to complete a hard schedule such you have to live at a most interesting period in our national existence and I have full faith and confidence in you and know that you will measure up to the best standards and traditions of our state and nation, and from our country is safe in your hands."
"I wish you Godspread and fulfill-
ment and realization of all worthy
desires, and a happy, contented, su-
ple journey down the road of
life."
