GOOD NEWS
Welcome news comes from those responsible for the activities at the Union building this summer. That news is that some form of entertainment in a general all-University party or several short dances may be planned for the coming weeks.
The small insect in the ointment is that those who are responsible are justly cautious about undertaking any project for which there is not full student support. No more definite plans can be made until students show their interest and offer their aid in carrying on the plans. The situation boils down to this: If the students really want a party, and show it, they will get it.
If you want a party—but then, who doesn't want one? It seems inconceivable that anyone doesn't want a party with music and dancing and laughter and charming girls in cool summer frocks. The sentiment is unanimously in favor of the proposition, but seems to be slightly dormant. The thing to do is to waken up a few expressions of public opinion and let the Memorial Union operating committee know that the entire student body wants a party, or maybe more than one. Write a letter, make a speech or tell the committee about it personally. Everybody wants one, and if we say so hard enough, we'll get it!
The hard working Senior has complained that he has been too busy working for grade points in summer school to get over to the Registrar's office to find out what he made during last semester.
CARELESSNESS
Something has to be done about the parking situation. At present it is the source of unending worry to motorists on the Hill. There is enough parking space provided that it could serve the wants of drivers, but unfortunately there are individuals who think that this hemisphere was made for their especial delight, and simply disregard the privileges of others.
In a row of parked cars there are always a few parked out of line, and taking up enough space that another car could have been left in the row. Such an act is inconsiderate, but far worse is the driver who blocks the road of those who are already parked so that they must await his pleasure and drive out only when he conde-cescents to remove his car.
A typical incident occurred Tuesday at the space west of the library. One car was parked so that three other drivers sat and waited, one of them for more than an hour, until the offending car could be pushed out of the way. As it happens the three motorists who were considerate enough not to hurt the car, but the driver, careless and thoughtless, could not have complained
if his car had been damaged. A repair bill would have been a justifiable punishment for his lack of consideration.
This careless student may go along happily violating the privileges of others, and being even a little proud of his arrogant disregard of other people's rights. The most suitable revenge would be a set of conditions in which he is the unhappy victim of a car that blocks his progress on a heated June day. Then, perhaps, he would begin to see why a little consideration would be valuable.
Is there any punishment yet invented by the barbaric ingenuity of man that will fit the crime of asking, in these torrid days, "Well, is this hot enough for you?"
CAMPUS OPINION
It is really too hot to think, and it is too hot to write what one might think, but the Kansan is issuing its invitation just the same.
This paper maintains a column for the use of any person who has views, ideas, thoughts or words on any subject, barring those which common decency or the laws of libel forbid. The further restriction is that the writer of any article must give his name as an evidence of good faith, although it will be withheld from publication upon request.
In the past the column has published treatises on every imaginable subject: the manners of the lawyer in front of Green hall, the paddling of freshmen, the Russian question, the need for changes in campus rules, the justness and unjustness of date rules, and all the other thousand subjects which interest student and faculty members. At the present time, with the summer weather upon us, the pools and playgrounds calling us, and class assignments piling up, few are the fortunate ones who have time to decide what they think on vital subjects.
But the column is available to any who wish to use it.
The best joke in a long time: The bacteriology department is drinking out of a public drinking cup.
Plain Tales
THE JOURNALISM MOUSE
Students in reporting, meeting in a classroom of the Journalism building, were considerably startled at a diminutive mouse that skipped across the floor during the discussion of the hows and whys of gathering news. The more timid members prepared to ascend the chairs and desks, when the professor (a woman by the way) said nonchantly, "Oh, you needn't be frightened. He is part of the staff. He belongs to the institution."
A NEW NAME FOR AN OLD IDEA The old student was telling the newcomer of the antics of the Laws during the regular sessions, especially when the co-eds were tripping by Green Hall, whereupon the newcomer appropriately labeled our future greats, "The Board of Review."
A TEAR STORY
"Students and faculty weep together" might well be the title for a story of what happened in the chemistry department the other day. The explanation of it all was that a careless or negligent student manufactured some tear gas during the course of the laboratory period.
Notice to Summer Session Students
In order to clear up certain misunderstandings regarding admission to the Wednesday evening picture shows, the following statement is made:
1. This entertainment is provided primarily for students enrolled in the Summer Session and is not open to the general public.
2. All students must present their motion picture tickets which they received from the business office when fees were paid.
3. Students whose families have come with them to Lawrence for the summer session may purchase season tickets good for the six weeks session at fifty cents. A similar ticket good for the four weeks session will be available later at the same price. These tickets are sold at the business office and can be sold only to students for the use of members of their own families.
4. Faculty members and regular employees of the University may purchase season tickets under the regulations set forth in the preceding paragraph.
5. No single admission tickets are sold. Season tickets must be obtained at the business office during regular office hours. No tickets are sold at the auditorium.
6. The door-keepers are instructed to enforce these rules and embarrassment will be avoided if all persons concerned comply with them.

Assistant Director of Summer Session.
