All roads lead away from Lawrence for K. U. students as soon as they fold their last final . Graduates will take a last look around the campus before they flock to summer resorts, leaving the campus deserted except for summer students and the faculty.

3,700 Examined In Speech Clinic
The University's speech clinic had a busy year.
a busy year.
Miss Margaret Anderson, associate professor of speech and director of the clinic, said today that 3,700 students took preliminary speech exams this year. About 45 students were treated for speech defects.
were treated Clinical service will continue during the summer session. Richard Schiefelbusch and Mrs. Betty Stevens, instructors of speech, and graduate students will help with the program.
Organized in September 1941, the speech clinic is part of the University health service. Its purpose is to study and correct students' speech defects.
Miss Anderson explained that speech tests are part of the regular physical examination taken by all University students. The tests last about four minutes. Examiners observe voice quality, check speech rhythm, and watch the forming of individual sounds. Students seldom realize they are being examined, she said.
Staffed by specially trained members of the speech department, the clinic works with help from the psychology department, the School of Education, the guidance bureau, the student hospital, the School of Medicine, and the reading clinic. Psychiatrists and physio-therapists work with serious cases.

After a two year's delay, Sim Myers, seventeen-year-old College sophomore, officially was graduated from high school Thursday night.
KU Student Gets Belated Diploma
one treatment too many.
Myers has disproved all fears as to his capabilities by maintaining his grades, serving on the Jayhawker staff, being a member of the Ku Ku club, Spanish club, and Sigma Nu, and serving as historian, reporter, assistant rush captain, assistant yard manager and as a member of the etiquette committee for his fraternity. In his spare time, he works twenty hours a week at the library.
Myers entered the University as a special student in 1945 against the better judgement of his high school superintendent who warned him that college would be too "rough" for a fifteen-year-old. It took three semesters to convince his high school superintendent that he deserved his diploma.
Myers grinned happily when asked about his diploma. "I breezed through high school so that I could get to college, but college is so wonderful that I'd like to stay around here a long time." he said.
during a lecture probably have good reason for their glassy attitude, for most of them are contemplating spending a refreshing summer on sweltering Mt. Oread. They have to look forward to teaching classes perched on the highest, hottest, chalk rock in the county.
What Vacation?
Holiday plans mentioned to a professor usually bring a blunt, "What vacation?" in reply. After intimating that a trip off the Hill for them would be as unusual as horns on a puppy, they usually get around to admitting, like Prof. William Simpson, that they "hoped to find time to go fishing in Arkansas and maybe visit relatives in Chicago for a week between semesters."
What Professor Simpson really wants to do this summer is finish a war department project, concerning mufflers on gasoline engines.
Prof. George Beal, of the architectural department, prefers to do his angling in the cold blue of Minnesota lakes, but between the University building program and summer school, his fishing may consist of dropping a fly in an inner-tube on the front lawn. No Fishing For You.
No Fishing For the College Dean of the College, P. B. Lawson, has some choice opinions of fishing as a sport that he wouldn't let us quote, but he did announce his intention of driving to California to visit two sisters and three brothers.
No Fishing For The Dean
"I don't believe in visiting relatives too long," he said as he listed Carlsbad caverns and Boulder dam as places he planned to visit. "On the way back I'm going to stop in Wyoming for a three-day meeting of college deans of the midwest universities," he said.
veterans.
Prof. G. W. Bradshaw is also going to attend a conference on his vacation. For him, it's the meeting of American Society for Engineering Education at Minneapolis. The rest of the summer he will, as Prof. C. C. Crawford put it, "have my nose to the grindstone teaching summer school."
Homework To Do
Dr. Eugene Stevenson, explained at length his summer plans of mowing the yard and playing golf, and just as we were leaving he casually mentioned that he was thinking about visiting his children in New England and Texas.
Miss Martha Peterron, assistant dean of women, tried the same trick. During her first two weeks off in June she is going to visit her mother in Topeka, hoe in the garden and pet Taffy, the blond cocker spaniel. But the last two weeks in August are reserved for a trip to Montreal.
In spite of summer school, government projects, and increased enrollment, the faculty are sneaking off the bill on week ends when students fiee the classrooms.
This summer, if you see a character in a flashy sports jacket, and dark glasses, hugging a camera like a millstone around his neck, you may place a reasonable bet that he's a disguised professor snatching a little relaxation and feeling guilty with every thought of the heat on Mt. Oread.
Owls Initiate 14; Werner Is Speaker
Owl society, junior men's honor organization, initiated 14 new members at a dinner Tuesday.

The new officers, selected by lot, are Patrick Thiessen, president; Keith Wilson, vice-president; Ralph Kiene, secretary, and Austin Turney, treasurer.
Other initiates are Richard Bertuzzi, Bruce Bathurst, Arnold England, Clarence French, John Irwin, Robert Malott, Wilbur Noble, John Stauffer, Arthur Toch, and Matthew Zimmerman.

Worth Waiting For!
Dependable, low-cost electric service, ready at the flip of a switch to add to your comfort, convenience and profit, is a goal decidedly worth waiting for, too.
Today, The Kansas Electric Power Company is bringing electric service to more homes, more farms, more stores and more factories than ever before. Shortage of materials however, continues to hamper all types of construction and the list of people waiting their turn for service is a long one.
Folks have come to realize that
there is no substitute for the bargain they get from a businessmanaged electric company. The low rates and dependability of service from an efficiently operated, inter-connected electric system are truly WORTH WAITING FOR!
