Seth W. Slaughter Is Again Appointed Bible College Head
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, FRIDAY, JUNE 1, 1834
Plans Made to Build Apartment for Assistant to Dean Not Yet Selected
Rev. Seth W. Slaughter was re-elected dean of the Kansas Bible School College and plans were made to build an apartment to house an assistant to him in the north wing of Myers hall at a meeting of members of the Bible College board yesterday.
Reports for the past year were given at the meeting, and the board expressed satisfaction with the support given by the Christian churches of the state during the past two years. During that time 180 have contributed to the school. The number of college is a number in the School of Religion, in which college credit is given.
The duties of the assistant to Dean Slaughter were outlined. The assistant who has not yet been chosen, will aid in church work in Lawrence, as well as work with the students of the University. The college also hopes to offer new courses next year. Dean Slaughter now has 70 students in his classes.
Members present besides the officers of the board were Dr. Claude Smith, Topeka, C. A. Huff, Kansas City, Kan. Rev. Charles A. Richard, Seneca; John D. Zimmerman, Topeka, and C. S. Alburn, field representative of the college.
Officers were appointed to the board of trustees for the following year as follows: Dr. Claude Smith, Topke, president; C. E. Burch, Lawrence, treasurer, and George O. Foster, University Registrar, secretary. New members of the board are Mrs. C. A. Ballard, Hutchison; Clifford Booth, Wichti; Mrs. George H. Hodges, Olathe; and Logan Martin, Newton.
Specimens Have Been Labeled, Sorter and Placed on Shelves
Geology Museum Improved
Improvements in the Geology museum, which was started more than twenty years ago, have recently been made. One of the new specimens to be placed on display is the meteorite valued near one hundred dollars, which K. K. Landis, associate professor of Geology, found being used as a door sten.
The meteorite weighs 60 pounds, is composed of nickel and iron, and is similar to the planets. The source of the meteorite is not known. A much smaller one is also in the museum; it was found in 1915 near Tanganoxie.
Many duplicates of minerals were found, and have been sorted, labeled, and placards made to distinguish the groups. The new display is in the south end of the museum where it has been placed on shelves. Smaller examples of minerals have been placed in the drawers. The zinc and lead display is considered by Professor Landes as good specimens of the minerals found in southeastern Kansas, and surrounding Missouri and Oklahoma territory.
The north part of the museum is present contains the part of the library as it was found before the improvement. This part sits away and place library shelves there.

PROFESSORS LOOK FORWARD TO VARIED SUMMER VACATIONS
From Classes to Fishing Runs the Story of the Recreational Pursuits of University Instructors
What will the professors of the University do when last final grades are handed out, and the students have left the campus for the summer vacation? Many will stay for summer school, reserving the time between the end of that and the start of the fall semester for vocation. Students may visit the visiting, or just resting. Others will set immediately about the business of summer activities.
The choice of vacations is wide among the professors. Some will spend the time working at research or studying. Some plan trips in conjunction with their work. Some state openly that "the less they do the happier they will be."
Dean D. M. Swarthout will make a motor trip through Illinois and Wisconsin and will attend the World's Fair. Dr. Hungerford intends to teach at the University of Michigan Biological Stuation on the bonny shores of Douglas Lake in Michigan. Miss Anderson plans to spend the summer at Gailbury, IL.

LANDES TO CABRY ON STUDY OF MICA DEPOSITS IN QUEBEC
Workmen today completed repairing the keystone on one of the north windows in Fraser hall. The keystone fell out several weeks ago due to the shifting of the walls. Fraser, as were many other old buildings on the cannery, was replaced with a line mortar which is not as satisfactory as the cement used today.
Mica, a light-colored, highly Elastic mineral, is used principally for insulating purposes. Professor Landes plans to spend the month of July collecting samples to be shipped here for study next winter.
Fallen Keystone Replaced
The new chief of police, Earl G. Pringle, has a number of changes of the department in mind. To date the two campaigns announced are against traffic violators, especially speeding; and a drive against stray dogs.
New Chief Takes Office
lure the big ones to the hook are J. W Twente and W. H. Horr.
Dean Lawson's idea of a vacation is "to do as little as possible", while Dr Kent wants to work at the University, saying that his hobby is "salary checks", and he probably does not want to miss even an ordinary specimen.
De. Taylor is interested in all kinds of snakes, but evidently prefers the wildest he can find, for he intends to go to Mexico on a trip of exploration. R. H. Beamer will not go so far afield, nor will his

Literary Digest Prints Chancellor's CSEP Story
Education Is Called Foundation of Democratic Government
Chancellor E. H. Lindley tells of the federal student relief in the current issue of the Literary Digest. Dr. Lindley was one of the educational leaders who were instrumental in persuading the Federal Government to assist in hiring jobs for college students who needed financial aid to remain in school.
"Education is at the very foundation of democratic government," said Dr. Lindley in the article. "Without an adequate system of education, democracy can not be expected to function successfully, or even to endure."
"Despite the evident determination of an overwhelming majority of our people that the education of the coming generations should not be allowed to suffer, the depression steadily whithed away at our educational system. Some rural schools were compelled to close, others were reduced to a part-time basis. Enrolments in secondary schools and in the colleges and universities declined, adding to the huge totals of unemployed men and women.
"During the last nine months, the Federal Emergency Relief Administration has done valiant work in reducing the proportions of this grave social loss. Rural schools with approximately 10,000 teachers and 345,000 pupils have been kept open throughout the school year. More than 5,000 teachers have been engaged in teaching more than 100,000 illiterates.
"More than 6,300 teachers have been enabled to give instruction in vocational work to approximately 175,000 pupils. More than 300 case-workers have been enabled to devote themselves to the rehabilitation of more than 3,300 disabled adult workers. More than 18,000 teachers and 225,000 pupils have been brought together in the field of adult education.
"Excepting the aid to rural schools, on which approximately $17,000,000 has been spent since the beginning of February, the cost has been small. With approximately $1,000,000 a month, the PERA has enabled 75,000 young men and women to work. This money has been grazed in wages paid for useful work.
"Since 1830 college enrolment has declined 14 per cent. And the number of self supporting students increased from 5 or 10 per cent to 15 and 20 per cent. This shows the need for student aid.
"The reports from a side variety of institutions are most favorable. Many college presidents have reported that the results exceeded their highest expectations. A recent survey makes it evident that, at least in certain areas, the institution's current important aid will be badly needed during the next academic year."
MYKLAND GOES TO NEW YORK FOR POSITION IN HOSPITA!

Student Illnesses Fewer This Year Records Indicate
Nearly 100 Less Patients Have Been Confined in Hospital Than in 1932-33
Watkins Memorial hospital will close at noon, June 11, for the summer months and will re-open on Thursday, September 4. classes for the 1984-32 school year.
The total number of students seeking admittance at this time of the year is smaller than at any other time, Doctor Canuteson said, but that those who did come were usually badly in need of attention.
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of the student hospital, said today that the total number of students seeking aid this year represented an increase over last year, but those admitted to the hospital were fewer. Last year 22,101 patients attended its dispensary, this year 23,134. Admittance departed from 997 last year to 900 this year.
Doctor Canuteles attributed the decrease in the number of patients who were confined to the hospital to the lack of an influenza epidemic such as the one which raged on Mount Oread last year. At one time during the winter of 1932-33 the hospital was nearly filled by students suffering from the disease.
The schedule for next year's physical examinations for new students will take in three days, Sept. 15, 18, and 19. At that time physicians from Bell Mead will participate in the part of the University Medical school, will assist with the examinations.
Recent illnesses which have made it necessary for students to be confined to the hospital have included throat infections, and appendicitis attacks. Elwyn Dees, Big Six shotput champion, at the hospital with a tonal infection.
Jack Weiainbie, a senior who has already completed his finals, had his appendix removed Tuesday morning. His condition today was described as 'variable'.
Fee Used to Pay Expenses
Baccalureaure and Commencement
Charges Taken Out of Senior Dues
The $7.50 that the seniors pay for a diploma fee is a commencement or graduation fee that is used to cover enrollment, baccalaureate, and senior week.
This money goes to pay for decorations for baccalaureum and commencement, setting up the platform in the stadium for these two occasions, the speakers' expenses, senior reminders, programs, and printing. To enable the band and glee club members to stay over for the week's programs without losing money a certain amount is paid them to cover the cost of board and room for the extra time they are here.
Costs of the Alumni-senior reunion dance that is held on Saturday evening, June 9, including the orchestra, decorations, and refreshments, are donated from this fee. The University luncheon held on the following Monday and any senior, grad, or person whose names are on the limited guest list many extend free of charge. Besides these expenses, such miscellaneous items as alumni registration, ushers for commencement, general posters announcing exhibits, chairs hauled for the band concert, special traffic officers, and invitations are paid from this fund.
DR. MERWIN RUMOLD LEAVES
TO MAKE TOUR OF EUROPE
Dr. Mervin J. Rumold, M.D.'30, of Lawrence left this morning for a three-month vacation to be spent in foreign travel. He will go first to Toronto, Canada, to attend a convention of surgeons there next week. He will sail from New York on June 8 to spend the summer touring Europe.
Dr. Rumold took his A.B. at the University of Kansas in 1927, his B.S. in medicine in 1928, and his M.D. in 1930. His spicer degree was obtained military degree in surgery. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Rumold, 1169 Tennessee street.
Austin Is "Well Cared For"
The Austin sitting on the porch of a house near 1400 Tennessee was placed there last night by men living at the house. The car was driven from Mission, Texas, by Miss Altheda Dudley and her mother. They left Mission Sunday, and arrived in Lawrence Tuesday. Miss Dudley plans to leave next week if her car is ready, which is rather doubtful, considering the hectic life it has been leading in the hands of University students.
