Summer School Opens June 12, Closes Aug.7
The thirty-eighth summer session of the University will open June 12 and will close August 7, Dean R. A. Schwegler, director of the summer session, announced today.
With little breathing space between commencement exercises and registration, students will enroll in courses which will be offered on the same basis as the regular term.
The staff is selected from the regular resident professors. If the demand is too great, instructors are brought in from other institutions. They are chosen for their ability in some field.
Classes in the summer session begin at 7:30 a.m. and continue to 12:20 p.m. No regular classes are held in the afternoon, which is reserved for seminars and other informal discussion groups. Students are allowed to take only eight credit hours unless special permission is obtained from the director.
An extracurricular program is maintained for the students. They are urged to participate in the outdoor sports which have been arranged. Students are given the opportunity to purchase tickets for the Jayhawk pool at a reduced price.
The greatest enrollment is in the Graduate School and the School of Education. A greater per cent of the student body is made up of teachers who have returned to complete their work.
The summer session lasts for eight weeks except for the Schools of Medicine and Law which last for 10 weeks.
Prizes Arranged For Parent's Day
The parents who travel the greatest distance to attend the Parents' Day activities and banquet Saturday will be awarded a special prize, it was announced today by Miss Elizabeth Meguiar, chairman of the arrangements committee.

Honorable mention will be awarded to the organized house having the largest per cent of parents present at the banquet, and to the county workers having the largest number from their county in attendance.
Tickets for the banquet which will be at 6:30 p.m. Saturday are being sold at the business office. Charles McWright said that early ticket sales for the dinner, at which Chancellor Deane Malott will be the speaker, indicate that attendance will exceed the 358 of last year. Tickets will be on sale until 5 o'clock Friday evening. McWright said.
Registration will take place in the Union building lobby all day Saturday. Here registering parents will receive identification badges saying "K.U. Parents," in red and blue letters.
