Students with wolfish tendencies, both male and female, are helped along in their prowling by the new Student Directory Supplement which not only gives the names of all students enrolled since the September registration but marks with asterisks all students who already have found a mate.
The new "protective" supplement is available to all students at the registrar's office, Miss Mare Ruble, assistant registrar, announced today. In addition to the listing of new students, the supplement has a revised list of the faculty.
Summer School Dates Revised
Dates for the 1946 summer session here have been revised from June 18-August 10, to June 24-August 17 because of the increasing number of new students desiring to enroll, Dean George B. Smith, director, announced today.
Orientation for all new undergraduate students will be June 18, 19, and 20; registration, June 20; registration and enrollment, June 21 and 22.
This will allow for an orientation and advisement period during the first week, he said.
Classes will begin on Monday. June 24, and final examinations will be held on Aug. 15, 16, or 17, depending on the days individual classes end.

Married student veterans can be housed at Sunflower Village, but there is a scarcity at present of three and four-room units.

Stadium Dorm To Be Ready for Next Fall
Contracts totalling $53,704 have been let for dormitory facilities for 64 men students in the east side of the University memorial stadium, according to George M. Beal, professor of architecture. The units will be ready for occupancy for the fall semester, according to present plans.
Rooms for four dormitory groups of 16 students each, and two large recreation rooms will be built. Each 16-man unit will have rooms for sleeping, dressing, study, and a washroom and clubroom.
Meals will not be served in the dormitory. Facilities for ping-pong, cards, and other activities will be available in the recreation rooms. A typing room, removed from the study and sleeping rooms, will be provided.
Entrance to the new stadium units will be through what are now arches on the east side. This will not affect the basic structure of the stadium, Professor Beal said. An exterior doorway and windows are included
The new structure will be semifireproof concrete blocks. An apartment for a supervisor and his family will be constructed in the northeast corner of the development, he added
Storer Views Heavenly Bodies Stars, That Is—From 'Penthouse'
If you're going to sit outside these spring nights watching the sky anyway, you ought to know something about heavenly bodies—stars, that is—not to mention planets and comets and constellations.
and conservation.
K. U.'s astronomer, Prof. N. W.
Storer, is giving a series of weekly talks over station K.F.K.U. at 9:45 p.m. each Tuesday on the appearance of the stars.
His talks center on "things in the sky which may be seen with the naked eye on the night of the broadcast and changes which will occur during the following week," he said.
Recent success of radar men in recording an "echo" from a radio impulse sent to the moon won't aid astronomers in their gigantic measuring tasks, he said.
"We know the distance to the moon now probably within a mile," the professor said, "There is little possibility of more accurate measurement with radio waves."
might say, of course, that the radar test is the first direct evidence we astronomers have that there actually is a moon. However, it wasn't a great surprise to us."
At one time, he held the distinction of being the only faculty member to occupy a complete building by himself, but his small observatory was torn down in 1944. Now his office and observatory are located in the "penthouse" of Lindley hall.

Professor Storer combined a mechanical touch with his star study in 1941, when he developed an aid to celestial navigation for high-altitude planes. He also designed a miniature planetarium for use by astronomy students.
Professor Storer came to the University in 1935. He has taught astronomy at various other schools, among them Smith college, Columbia, and Illinois, and holds a doctor of philosophy degree from the University of California.
Justice Stone Funeral Thursday In Washington
(By United Press)
"The death of Chief Justice Stone is a previous loss to the country." President Truman said. "He was a great justice and a great American."
Funeral services for Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone, 73, will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday at the Episcopal National cathedral. Burial will be in Washington at a private service.
Mr. Stone, who died of a cerebral hemorrhage at 6.45 p.m. yesterday, was the last man on the Supreme court bench who was there in the fight by President Roosevelt to reorganize the high tribunal in 1927.
Hugo Black, the senior associate justice, becomes presiding judge until a new chief justice is nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate. He will call the court to order at noon today to announce an adjournment until after Stone's funeral.
As the capital mourned the unexpected death of the famed jurist, the names of associate justices Robert H. Jackson and Stanley F. Reed, both liberal Democrats, were ranked at the top of the list of possible successors to the chief justiceship.
President Coolidge appointed Stone to the court in 1925, and President Roosevelt promoted him to chief justice of the United States when Charles Evans Hughes retired in 1941.
1941.
Stone, known as a great disenter, appeared well when he read his last court decision—a dissent. The square shouldered chief justice read griffy for 15 minutes. Then he picked up what appeared to be a letter instead of a legal document. He fumbled with it an instant, then turned to confer with Justices Black and Reed. The court crier, sensing something was wrong, stepped forward. Black, as ranking associate justice, nodded for the end of the court session. He and Reed helped Stone leave the chamber through the red velvet curtains behind the bench.
Mrs. Stone went to the court to drive the chief justice home in their automobile at 3:30 p.m. His alient at first thought to be a slight attack of indigestion, appeared more serious at that time, and his two sons were summoned to the home. He died three hours and 15 minutes later.
More than $300,000 of the $500,000 quota has been pledged by K.U. alumni groups for the World War II Memorial, Kenneth Fleshtlewhite, director of the Memorial drive campaign, announced today. About $40,000 of this figure has already been raised, he added.
Alumni To Contribute $300,000 to Drive
The Lawrence drive, which began April 3, has raised about half of its $50.000 quota. A Topeka drive for $25.000 will begin tomorrow.
