"We have decided to have two social evenings a week," said Miss Glaze Elmore. One of these evenings is to be a decidedly outdoor affair and of the playground type. The other one will be held each Friday night in the gymnasium. Friday night we will make the big effort to get all the university out. The parties will be very informal and simple."
nesses these parties there will be a free play hour every day from 4 o'clock to 5 o'clock in the gymnasium. At this time there will be folk dancing and playing. It will serve as the recess hour for the students each day."
A committee of students will co-operate, with Miss Corbin in her plans for the summer and these plans will be announced Friday.

THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 15, 1920
"Inside" Dope Sheet For Ye Wear. Studies
The last meeting of the year held by the faculty of the College bids fair to become known as the "general amnesty meeting." It is likely to acquire popularity among students who grieve to grind in the formal attic. The faculty of the Good nature just simply can't be kept out of the natal gathering.
This year the last meeting came Saturday, June 5. The administrative committee of the College had met the day before and passed on all student applications up to that time. Some of them were denied. The next day two of these petitions turned up again in the general faculty meeting and were granted. Another one that had the good luck to arrive at the last moment was given a friend in which the faculty had just adopted a general rulings was genially upset in order to do a favor to three students who could not get in—or out, in this case—under the rule.
In fact the flow of soul was unrestrained. Why not? Not all great legislative bodies have a little fun in the dying hours of a session—break up the waste baskets and upset the chairs. Why shouldn't a college faculty enjoy a little mild dissipation long acts of kindness?
The business of the final meeting should prosper if properly advertised
Classes Will Be Shortened for Meeting in Fraser at 10 o'Clock
PLAN TO HOLD FIRST CONVOCATION FRIDAY
All-University convocations will be held every Friday morning at 10 o'clock during the first summer session. J.K., Kelly, dean of the summer session.
The first convoitation will be held in Fraser Hall Friday morning, classes being shortened so as to allow from 10 to 10:30 o'clock for the meeting. Chancellor Strong, Dean Kelly, Miss Alberta Corbin, dean of women and Doctor Allen, director of Athletics will probably talk.
The plan is to get the summer session students together, and to have the various activities of the term outlined. This is to be combined with the regular chapel service which will prevail generally throughout the term. There will be no convolutions during the four weeks of the last session.
Plans are being made for numerous community social affairs and these will be outlined by Miss Corbin Friday. Dr. Allen will tell of proposed athletic activities for summer school students and of latest developments in the drive for the stadium. Dean Kelly will explain the work of the summer session and the chancellor will give a short address of welcome.
Want a Dean's Job?
If so Apply at Once
According to the chancellor's office, the university has developed an acute shortage of deans. With the resignation of Dean F. J. Kelly of the School of Education, three of the largest schools of the University are without permanent heads. A vacancy occurred in the School of Law last year with the death of "Uncle Jimmy" Green and the resignation of Dean Templin in the college caused another vacancy. New appointments will probably be made by the new chancellor. No additional resignations from the faculty have been reported since the close of last semester.
Miss Margaret Lynn, associate professor in English left Sunday with her sister for a tour of the Alaskan coast

WILL NEW HOSPITAL WIN LARGER SITE?
Alumni Have Given $32,500 bu
Bond Election Today at Rosse-
dale Settles Question.
the future of the Medical School at Rosdale is in the balance today while the people of that city nor conducting a bond election to determine whether or not to purchase a site for the hospital building authorized by the bast. The amount supported by the hospital was $200,000. Rosdale was to furnish a suitable site. Some months ago bonds were voted to purchase land adjacent to the present hospital. Later it was decided that the tract was too small. A much larger silt-stimulated tract of thirteen acres was built out and a new bond election
The alumni of the University residing in Kansas City and vicinity have pledged $32,500 which added to the $35,000 in bonds to be issued if the elected today in the proposition, will purchase the tract.
--registrations according to Dean Kelly
"I believe with the second term, the
enrollment this year will reach 1,000,
said Registrar George O. Foster last
night. That would mean a graduation
in 1916 by 183. The enrollment today practically equals the entire enrollment for both terms last
year."
DEAN F, J. KELLY
These interested in being the hospital remain have been surprised to find a quiet fight being made on the bonds. The additional tax would amount to only a few cents a year on the $100 valuation.
The present hospital building will remon on the present site and will still be used for hospital purposes. Those who have been working for the bond issue, and who, before the special session of the legislature authorized the voting of the bonds, were willing to participate in the bond issue, that the bonds will carry if all those who want the hospital to remain in Roseland go to the polls and vote. They are telling everyone:
"A vote for the bonds means the hospital will remain in Rosedale and be enlarged—a vote against them means it will not be enlarged and maybe, not remain in Rosedale.

Hackney Says Legislature Should Match Alumni's Million Dollars
WOULD GET 2 MILLION
Ed T. Hackney of Wellington, member of the board of directors of the Alumni Association has suggested to the committee in charge of the million dollar drive for the University of Kansas that they make the drive provisional, asking that when the sum is raised, the legislature appropriate another million to match the sum.
This second sum would be used in the construction of a school building with class rooms and other facilities now needed. Mr. Hackney would be a stimulation and each side raises to the sum and the university would get more (nobly) needed additions.
Prof. H. E. Rigg of the University of Michigan a graduate of K. U. in the eighties has suggested that instead of names previously proposed the new community building be called, the Kansas Union Building and be built to suit the needs of the faculty, students and Alumni.

"I believe the summer sessions will continue to grow," said Dean Kelly last night. "A considerable number of the enrollments this year are regular college students who by taking summer work can get their diploma in three and a half months, having saved and I believe the practice will grow and become more popular. We certainly are well pleased with the showing this summer."

"Calls for summer jobs are coming in all the time and there are plenty of them t. keep everyone busy," said Catherine Weber, who has charge of the University Y. M. C. A. office, "Of the 177 old jobs sent in all, but two of them have been filled. Seventy-eight permanent positions have been supplied summer school students out of this office up to this time.
"Many calls have come into this office for rooms and there is not a doubt but that there are enough rooms to fill the demand.
"So far seventeen men have applied to the Y. M. for outside work and many more calls are expected. From one to four old jobs are sent in each day and steady positions come in right along. Anyone having jobs to offer students for the summer, whether asked or permanent positions, are asked to work."

ALUMNI COMMITTEE CONSIDERING CHANGES
Board Has Appointed Miss Thompson "Temporary Secretary"
Reports filtering out from an executive session of the Board of Directors of Alumni Association held Tuesday indicate that changes in the organization are being considered. Miss Agnes Thompson who has been general secretary for four years, was notified that she had been appointed "temporary secretary" with the intimation that plans of reorganization may result in filling her position with a man who can also act as field secretary for the alumni. Miss Thompson, when interviewed by a report yesterday, did not offer the idea longer than to say that she favors any movement that will increases the usefulness of the association.
The idea of a field secretary is not a new one. According to a former officer of the association, it has been brought up at various times during the past ten years. The main difficulty has been the financing of the office coupled with the fact that men suitable 1. x the work of field organization are not easy to find. That the present is an auspicious time for expansion of the alumni activities is felt by many.
"United support should be given to any movement that will strengthen the hands of the new chancellor," said an old alumnus yesterday, "and it is to be hoped that the method of putting the plan into operation will be such a to command the support of every graduate.
"Dissatisfaction of some one individual, or more, with the Graduate Magazine's policy of conducting an open forum on live questions of University policy issues, the author is the manger," he explained. The field secretary will have enough to keep him very busy without taking over the editor ship of the Magazine and the executive work of the alumni office." It is understood that a committee of Board chairmen would be assigned to work on the new plan and report at a meeting to be held sometime this summer.
The subject of the proposed reorganization was not brought before the annual meeting of the Alumni Association held Tuesday.
Degrees were granted to 456 students at the 48th annual commencement exercises held last Wednesday. This is the largest number of degrees ever granted by the University of Kansas. The largest class previous to this year was in 1915 when 398 degrees were granted.
