Ticket Sales Booming Birthday Dinner
Ticket sales for the Seventy-fifth Anniversary dinner Saturday have surpassed expectations for this early date, Leslie Waters, chairman of the entertainment committee, said yesterday.
The number of students who have bought tickets is surprising, he added. The Seventy-fifth Anniversary dinner is one of the highlights of the whole celebration, as it is the official recognition of the birthday of the University.
Virtually every notable or near notable who has attained fame after graduation from the University of Kansas will be here to pay homage to K.U. and the committee has made special arrangements for them to be heard over the National Broadcasting Company's blue network hookup. The broadcast will be at 7 p.m. for one-half hour.
Old Songs Revived
The dinner begins at 5:45, and it is imperative that the crowd be there on time in order to avoid confusion during the broadcast. The dinner program will begin with "Onward Kansas," sung by the glee club, and greetings from Chancellor Deane W. Malott and Governor Payne Ratner. Following this will be several numbers by an octette from the School of Fine Arts. They will sing songs that were popular during the era when the University was founded, and will include such memorable bits as "Lily Dale," and "Take Back My Heart."
There will be short talks by Alfred M. Landon, William Allen White, and Ben Hibbs, editor of the Country Gentleman, who is the main speaker of the evening. The following short skit by Mrs. A. J. Mix will be performed around a huge birthday cake, measuring 30 inches square,
Will Receive Souvenirs
24 inches high, and decorated with 75 candles.
Next will come dessert, after which friends will have an opportunity to meet each other. People will leave carrying the Jayhawk souvenirs which they received at the beginning of the dinner. They were designed by Bernard "Poco" Frazier, after his famous "wounded Falcon" pattern, and were produced by Eldon Tefft of the School of Fine Arts.
Reservations for the dinner must be in by Thursday night, June 5. Tickets for the dinner cost $1 apiece, and may be obtained at the alumni office, room 2, Frank Strong hall; in the rotunda of Frank Strong hall, or at the Round Corner Drug store at Eighth and Massachusetts street. Tickets for the Sunset barbecue and Coronado Entrada may be obtained at the same places.

Summer Students Registration Will Begin June 10
Students will register in Frank Strong hall, beginning June 10, not after June 11. Enrollment will be in Robinson gymnasium June 11.
The methods for enrollment and registration are the same as in regular sessions. Classes will begin on Thursday morning, June 12.
The University Health Service will continue in operation and Watkins Memorial hospital will remain open during the University summer session this year.
This will be the first time since the health service was organized in 1906 that the hospital will remain open during the eight week summer session to provide health facilities for the summer students, Dr. Ralph I. Canuteson, director of the health service, said yesterday.
Two physicians, a pharmacist, a laboratory technician, a secretary and four nurses will be the staff. This is about a third of the regular staff.
The service will be the same as during the regular school term, except that physical examinations of new students will not be required. Any student who desires to take an examination may do so and the staff urges all students who plan to continue in school next fall to have their physical examinations during the summer.
The dispensary in the hospital will be open from 8 in the morning until 1 o'clock in the afternoons except Sundays.
