THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
VOLUME IX
OLD FASHION CHAPEL
SERVICE AT 10 TODAY
"Singing and Scriptures" Again To Reign at Convocation
Announce Summer Plans
Old fashioned chapel services consisting of singing and scripture reading will be the chief order of things at the all-university conversation in Fraser Hall this morning at 10 a'clock, according to F. K. Jeyla, dean of the summer session. Classes will be shortened for the exercises.
Promoters of Activities Will Out line Work of Summer Session
Following the regular services there will be an opportunity for the heads of the various summer session entertainment plans and the planning plans for their organizations.
COMMUNITY SINGS OR NOT?
One matter to be settled is that of community sings. According to Dean Butler of the School of Fine Arts, more students must signify their intention to attend than last summer or it will not be worth while to hold them.
"Lost year everyone wanted to listen and not enough wanted to sing," said the dean. "If they are held they will probably be on the museum steps one evening a week. They last about 45 minutes."
Dean Kelly of the summer session said last night, "We wish to find whether the people here this summer really want the community songs or not. Most assuredly, when they will not be, given this summer."
TO EXPLAIN CO-OPERATIVE PLAN
Miss Alberta Corbin, adviser of women will announce her plan for a new system of co-peroperative organization of summer students and for social activities.
TO EXPLAIN CO-OPERATIVE PLAN
Just a Mere $7,000
Don't Worry Him a Bit
"I don't know as yet whether I shall make an announcement or not," said Dr. Forrest C. (Phog) Allen, director of athletics.
"The main idea of the summer sports will be along the line of recursive sports. Competitive athletes probably will not amount to so much during the summer session because the cost of equipment which each student must furnish for himself as there is no budget allowed to cover the cost. They naturally hesitate to expand so much for such a short period. During the regular session the box receipts cover the cost of equipment which is not possible during the summer on account of the small crowds.
"Plans will be made however for baseball, volleyball and tennis leagues so that there will be some sport in which every student may take part."
"Hey Mister. You ever take all that money to the bank yourself?
Enter Kansan reporter.
He peers dumbfounded through the forbidding oak panels of the Registra's office to where Mr. Kloo, buried to his elbow in honest-to-gosh money, makes neat little piles of green as complacently as a judge.
that money to the bank.
"I do, in the summer when we only take in 'about seven thousand dollars,' was the reply. 'I'll take this money to the bank today but I'll disguise it as an ordinary parcel.'
When he was asked if anyone had attempted to rob him, he answered that he had never been attacked. Strange, isn't it?
"I do not attempt to take the funds in the bank in the fall. We take in all the way from eight to ten thousand dollars, then, and I call the bank and they send up a man to talk to him and usually become by a policeman."

WILL OPERATE THIRD CO-OPERATIVE HOUSE
Plan for Housing Women Students Proved Successful Last Year
Co-operative houses have proved to be very great successes in more ways than one, and besides the two co-operative houses already established on the hill there will be an additional one next fall, according to Miss Alberta Corbin, adviser of women. The three houses were constructed early this year. There have been many applications for places which could not be supplied.
"Campus Cottage," and "Lakota," were the two houses in operation last year. In these houses the girls did not have to wear more reduces the expense very much.
"The total average expense," sait Dean Corbin, "for the girls in the cooperative houses, including board and room, light, telephone and all such expenses has been twenty-one dollars per girl per calendar month." "Campus Cottage," which is docked on a beach in especially desirable place for any group of girls to live, on account of the healthy "out-door" atmosphere.
The Alumni Association has bought the house at 1122 Ohio street to be used as a co-operative house and the Lakota house at 1272 Ohie, will be new girls.
This new house will accommodate rom twelve to fifteen girls. Mrs. Catherine Burnette will be their chapre. The old Lakota house is in operation this summer acaddiming welve summer session students.
How Early Is 7:30?
--Well That Depends
Why do Summer Session classes begin so late in the morning? Students have to get on the hill hours earlier in the winter. In January the sun comes up about 7:30 and the K. old alarm clock goes off and the K. U. student arises and beats it, up the hill in time for his 8:30.
In the summer it is different. The sun gets up at 4:30 in the morning and all the world awakens. The cardinal bursts forth in song and the summer session student leaps out of *dor* "bedir to go." Alas, his high spirit sogs when he waits for his seventh-thirty. Three whole hours until he is due on Mount Oread. His "pep" leaves him, and by the time he drags himself up the hill the day seems half done.
Cannot this injustice be corrected?
Why not the first class at 5:30?
K. U. Professors Teach At Chicago University

She Scorns Drouth, Misfortune, Grasshoppers—Teaches 37 Years And on Crutches Seeks Degree
Miss Margaret MacDonald is again attending summer session at k. U. She is working to gratify the ambition to sometime possess the college degree which was denied her in her youth. Though she walks with the walls of crutches, Miss Mac Donald elimins to enjoy climbing then has plenty of time and does not hesitate to take classes on the third or fourth floor of Fraser.
"Without sentimentalism" she declares, "I can say my motto has been that of Kansas, Ad satra per ma, the people I, I have overalls all my life."

CLASS IN SWIMMING WILL BEGIN THIS WEEK
No Fee Will be Charged Men Regularly Enrolled in University
The men's swimming class will be opened not later than Saturday in Potter's Lake," announced Dr. Naimsim Thursday morning. "Although there is no way of finding out, there is no reason why the swimming class should not be larger this year than ever as summer session students are greater in number than at any time since 1916.
"The rules and regulations have changed very little from those of preceding years. No fee will be charged for the students, and for identification it is requested that they bring their enrollment slip with them when they enter the swimming club at Robinson Gymnasium. All non-students are required to bring a guard of hands will be placed at the pool between 3:30 and 8:30, whose duty will be to keep a constant look-out for any one in danger. All persons under twelve years of age must bring a written consent from their parents before they will be allowed to enroll.
Attends 15 Summer Schools for Degree
One of the most interesting or as he terms "the most persistent" of summer school students in K. U. is J. E. Cook. He has attended summer school sessions continuously, with the exception of 1907, since 1905. All of these were aided K. U. with the exception of the summer session of 1915, when Mr. Cook was at the Emporia Normal and that of 1915 when he was in the Kansas State Agricultural College.
NUMBER 2
"The broadening of one's views, the general culture, and the position in teaching which a college degree gives makes it worth while to work for a degree even under difficulties," said Mr. Cook in explaining why he has attended fifteen summer school sessions.
From boyhood Mr. Cook's ambition was to be a college graduate, but he found it impossible to have this gratified immediately. Although he taught and saw his students pass on to colleges and universities, it was not until 1914 that he took the entrance exam. He was the university. Since then he has worked for his degree which he will get this summer.
Mr. Cook has taught six years in Humbolt, in nena in Nesa City, three in Dougas, nirki in Oakalaoa During the past year he was super-intendent of schools in Galva Kanas.

FIRST ALL UNIVERSITY PARTY IN GYM TONIGHT
"Rollicking Mixer From Begin ning to End" Is Slated
Plans for the big All-University Party scheduled for this evening is the Robinson Gymnasium are “going strong,” according to all indications Festivals will begin promptly at 8 o'clock according to Miss Alberts Columbia.
An informal reception will be held, during which the students may learn the "who's who" of the faculty members. The receiving line will include Dr. and Mrs. Strong, Dean and Mrs. Kelly, and Miss Corbin.
Boys are in Majority In Extension Division
After the reception will come Miss Elmore's part of the evening, which she has styled a "Bolling-mixer-from-beginning-to-end." Everyone will be able to take part in the fun, which will compose stunts, games, and country dances. Social dancing will occupy the remainder of the evening.
Boys are in the majority in the Extension Division. About 80 per cent of the 125 enrolled are boys. Many boys both in high school and college lost credits or at least their work interrupted because of academic problems, or linking correspondence work in order to graduate as soon as possible.
The most. popular courses are economics, history, English, and high school subjects. Spanish more French is the popular language.
The Laws and faculty will mix again, according to the latest announcement of Wint Smith. Little bloodshied however, is predicted as the controversy is to be in form of a ball game to be staged on McCook Tuesday afternoon. The faculty aggregation will be piloted by Phoog Allen. Vorhese will probably pitch fo' the Laws.
Faculty and Lawyers Mix Tuesday Afternoon
Small Towns Furnish Students in Summer
Files in the Registrar's office show that a very large per cent of the students now enrolled in the summer session have come from the small towns. This is due in part it is believed to the fact, that a great number of them take courses in the graduate school and during the winter term teaching mathematics in Nairobi. In contrast with this, the fries show that a comparatively small number of freshmen have entered the summer session.
Basebell Practice Tonight
Candidates for the summer school base ball team are requested by Wint Smith to attend practice Friday afterm on at Hamilton field at 6:30 o'clock.

BONDS FOR HOSPITAL CARRY AT ROSEDALE
Rosedale made sure of the new $200,000 hospital of the School of Medicine of the University of Kansas Tuesday when voters put across the $55,000 bond issue for part purchase of the site by a vote of 10 to 1. The final count stood 1,175 for to 175 against.
Alumni of University Will Add
$36,000 to City's
$35,000
The election was made necessary it that the price of the proposed site was raised after the first bonds had been voted. Alumni and faculty of the university were invited to the additional $83,000 necessary for the completion of the project.
When the results of the election became known, the alumni held a meeting at the University Club of Kansas City where a whirlwind campaign was organized to raise the remaining funds.
The School of Medicine ranks as one of the first class medical schools of the United States and with the added equipment and facilities, it is expected to raise the standard until it will be one of the leading schools of medicine. The addition at Rosedale will in no way affect the organization of the first years of the medical school work at Lawrence.
Plain Tales From The Hill

They have been warned that the rule regarding a non-preparation of their "pieces" is so on mine that many three hours ago — than you must. To be sure, the professor smiled when he made the announcement. But appearances are oftimes deceitful than more words, Zoraster!

THEM'S HER SENTIMENTS
A somewhat corpulent, pleasant faced school teacher was heard to say, while waiting in line to enroll. "I washed the dishes this morning and right then and there I thanked the Lord I teach school instead of keep house for a living. (Moving out of home) I teach room for about seven more in there.

MORE ROOMS NEEDED FOR WOMEN STUDENTS
Situation Requires Extraordinary Efforts, Housing Survey Committee Reports
Dirth of Small Houses
Housing Facilities for Only 453 New Students Next
"There is not an available room left for women for the coming year," according to Miss Alberta Corbin, adviser of women.
"Unless extraordinary precautions are taken, there will not be sufficient available rooms to house the women students of the university next fall," according to the report submitted to Mayor Kreeck by Chairman F. W. Blackmar of the Lawrence Housing survey committee.
Further than this however, the situation is in general rather good, according to the report. There are provisions for approximately 453 new students which although good, will not entirely meet the anticipated increase.
"There is a dirt in Lawrence of small and ordinary sized houses," according to the committee's report. Suitable accommodations are needed x families of members of the faculty"
THE COMMITTEE'S REPORT
The following in part is the report
submitted by Professor Blackmar:
Last year in this district rooms were furnished for 1151 boys and 602 girls. Reports show in the same district people are preparing to give
"The section surveyed covered a district bounded n the north by Sixth St, on the east by New York St. on the south by Twelfth St. and on the west by Michigan St. In this district 1108 reports were received from residences. This does not include student housing. In no instance are housings in fraternity or sorority houses.
room to 1,294 boys and 621 girls, and 248 to either boys or girls, and in case of congestion 42 others might receive rooming accommodations. The total number of rooming accommodations for last year was 1753 and for this year 2,164, or in case of congestion 2,206. This could make a possible increase of 453. It is estimated that the increase in the school population next year will be considerably more than this.
CONDITIONS UNSETTLED
**CONDITIONS UNSETTLE**
In *Jasking this investigation* it must be known that a number of families were unsettled and could not give assurance of keeping students for next year. Also there are quite a number of empty houses for rent or for sale whose future room-conditions could not be estimated.
"A large proportion of the rooms were sanitary, well ventilated and properly lighted and heated. Some were not. A number of cases seemed to have been wearing a chapel high rest without, furnishing proper accommodations.
"More people desire beds as roomers than girls. Miss Abberta Corbin informs me that there is not an available room for girls left for the coming year. There undoubtedly will be a deficiency for girls unless extraordinary efforts are made to alleviate the condition.
"While the survey makes a fairly good showing, still I am inclined to think that the roaming conditions will be somewhat congested next fall unless people make special efforts to take care of large prospective in-
CONGESTION IS PREDICTED
"Also it is discovered through the canvass and through other means that there is a great dearth of small and ordinary sized houses and apartments for the accommodation of families who wish to come here to send their children to school and especially suitable accommodations for the families of members of the faculty. There ought to be as soon as possible more housing for students, for students for students and families connected with the university. Small modern houses and modern apartments seem to be the things most needed at present.
"All the survey sheets are kept on file and will be used by the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. in directing students to rooms. Anyone especially interested and desiring to examine the survey material will find the reports in charge of Miss Weber at the University Y. M. C. A."
Respectfully submitted,
F. W. BLACKMAR,
Chairman Lawrence Housing Survey.
