Death Of Donor Hasn't Affected Summerfield Gift
The effect of the recent death of Solon N. Summerfield on the Summerfield scholarship funds is still unknown. Mrs. Flora Boynton, secretary of the endowment office, said today.
The endowment office has the annual $20,000 fund in hand for this year, and there will be no immediate change in Summerfield scholarships for students now in school, she explained.
In 1944 Mr. Summerfield set up a foundation which has since given funds to the endowment association for the scholarships. Mr. Summerfield planned for this foundation to continue after his death, but the University has not been informed of provisions for continuing the trust.
Since 1929, Mr. Summerfield has given more than $300,000 for scholarships for more than 170 Kansas men, chosen from Kansas high school graduates for superior ability and character.
Twenty-one Summerfield scholars will enroll at K.U. this year, and 14 eligible are still in the armed forces.
Mr. Summerfield was a native of Lawrence. He received an A.B. degree from the University in 1890, and a law degree in 1901. In 1909 he founded the Gotham Gold Stripe Hosiery company in New York.

Student Drivers Find Campus Parking Changes
Mt. Oread drivers this year will see a change in parking zones, a change in the direction of one-way traffic flow at Blake and Frank Strong halls, and a change in the color of their ticket if these rules are not obeyed.
Traffic through the one-way drive east of Fraser hall will be reversed to go in a clockwise direction. Entrance will be on Fourteenth street next to Danforth chapel. And the drive back of Frank Strong hall will be entered just west of Bailey chemical laboratories.
Parking permits, to be issued later this week will be obtained at 208-B Frank Strong hall.
Parking tickets will be issued to violators on Jayhawk drive beginning Saturday according to Prof. J. A. Travillo, chairman of the parking commission.

$5,000 Was 'Hay' Now Aids Students
Some students may be going to college because Prince, a 37-year-old horse, died.
When DeForrest F. Plazzek died at his home near Kansas City 14 years ago, he left a $5,000 trust fund for two draft horses, Prince and Nellie. Nellie died in 1937, and Prince died last July.
The trust fund, part of a $15,000 estate left to the university by Piazzek, has reverted to the university since the horses' deaths and will be used for a student aid fund.
Piazzek's relatives contested the bequest, but the supreme court upheld the provisions of the will.
