Summer Terms Draw Inquiries
High school students to be graduated this spring are showing unusual interest in the University's program to shorten the time required complete college, G. B. Smith, dean of the School of Education and director of the summer session, said today. Several hundred inquiries have already been received in his office from prospective high school graduates.
Boys faced with military service and who must choose between temporary employment and partial completion of a college course will find the new program especially attractive, he said. If the present draft age limit remains, it will be possible for some boys to receive degrees before being called to serve. It will be possible to receive 12 hours of credit this summer by attending both sessions.
Courses will be offered in 32 departments during the regular 8-week session from June 2 to July 24, and during the new 4-week session from July 27 to August 21 a minimum program of new and supplementary courses designed particularly for students who wish to shorten the time required for graduation by carrying required or general courses, will be given. Graduate courses thus will not be emphasized in the short session. The Schools of Law and Medicine will maintain separate schedules from that of the College.
The regular summer session bulletin will be ready for distribution sometime this month, Smith said, and in the meantime interested students may call at his office at 103 Fraser to examine the list of specific courses to be offered. His office has also prepared a series of special booklets dealing with the summer session, and these may be obtained at the education office.
Sisters Plan Reunion After Half Century
Gainesville, Texas — (UP) — A death notice has brought together two sisters who lived within 25 miles of each other for more than half a century without knowing it.
The notice concerned the passing of City Marshal Jim Alexander, 85, of Marietta, Okla. Because of his name and the fact that he was born in Florence, Ala, Mrs. George W. Myers, 77, of Gainesville thought he might be a long-lost brother.
She was ill, but relatives began corresponding and learned that Alexander was her brother and that their sister, Mrs. B. B. Askew, 80, also lived at Marietta, although she too was ill.
The sisters planned a reunion as soon as their health permitted. They were of the four children of Richard Alexander and his wife of Florence, Ala. Both parents died however and the four children were taken by relatives.
Mrs. Myers the former Sarah Alexander, came to Dallas and later married, moving to Gainesville. Her sister, Mamie, married Askew at Woodville, Ala., and they moved eventually to Lebanon, Love County, Okla. The brother, Jim, followed. The Myers also lived on a farm a few miles west of Marietta but never learned of the nearby presence of Alexander and Mrs. Askew.
Fannie Alexander, the fourth child, moved to Florida with an uncle and all trace of her was lost.

Minnesota Fund Is Largest In Nation
St. Paul, Minn. — (UP) — Minnesota's trust fund is the largest of any state in the nation.
State treasurer Julius Schmahl reported that the trust fund totals more than $110,000,000.
"No other state in the union with the exception of Texas, has a comparable amount bound in trust," Schmahl said.
Texas ranks second to Minnesota, he said, on the strength of resources obtained from state-owned oil lands.
Minnesota's trust funds, explained Schmahl, have been built up by the sale of timber, mineral, and agricultural lands and through the collection of occupational taxes on iron ore.
Revenues from the fund go to the support of the state public school system, the state university, correctional institutions, and for road and bridge maintenance and improvement.
He estimated that the state's trust fund will reach $200,000,000 before the state's ore resources are exhausted.
"Most states admitted to the union before Minnesota sold their school and other public lands on a liberal basis to encourage settlement and development of the state and used the money for immediate needs with no thought for the future," Schmahl explained. "Minnesota's pioneers, however, conceived a plan for conserving these resources for the benefit of future generations."
