MEMORIAL DRIVE AT TOPEKA NEARS GOAL
Rain Prevented Workers From Completing Capitol City Campaign Yesterday
PLEDGES TOTAL $35,618
Expect to Raise Full Quota of $40,000 by This Evening
Topeka, June 24.—Thirty-five thousand, six hundred and eighteen dollars of the K. U. Memorial Fund quota for Topeka had been pledged last night. The Topeka goal is $40,000. Rain interfered with the workers and prevented the finishing up of the campaign on the scheduled time, which was five clock last evening. B. G. Bunyack, a Director at C. Beek, vice chairman, decided late evening that the campaign should be carried to its completion today.
N U. supporters will hold their first dinner at the Chamber of Commerce at 6:10 o'clock tonight, when it concludes with the $40,000 goal will be passed.
A group of visitors from Lawrence including Chancellor E. H. Lindley, T. J. Sweeney, Vice Chancellor W. L. Burdick and W. C. Simons, publisher of the Lawrence World, furnished lively competition when four boxes of candy and a bunch of flowers were auctioned off at last night's dinner, to be presented to the captains and major in the women's division.
Sweeney, Guffler, Beck, Will J. Miller and Chester Woodward were final winners in the auction, in which every bid required an actual payment. Total receipts were $56/. Four sacks of sugar furnished by Fred Smithmeyer also went high, the top one going to Mrs. J., Dubrill, cateress at the Chamber of Commerce. Leslie Edmonds was referee.
Mrs. H, A. Rice, wife of Prof. H.
H. Rice, reported $215 had been given
in contributions at Tecumseh in honor
of the memory of Robert Melton, K
U. boy from Tecumseh, who died in
the World war.
Outside contributions continued to come in yesterday and a substantial portion of the day's total of $11,275 reported last night came from friends of the university who had not attended school on Mount Oread.
Tuesday morning the four teams that had the responsibility of raising the $40,000 K. U. Memorial Fund in Topkape, started the campaign in earnest. At the nite luncheon the teams reported as follows: Women's team, led by Mrs. C. I. Martin, $2360; "Major" R. W. Blair reported $2250; "Major" Chester Woodward, $2016; and "Major" Will J. Miller, $2005. This made a total of $8631. The women's team had the honors for the first half day's work. They were all very optimist about the campaign.
Chancellor E. H, Lindley pleasantly surprised the enthusiastic workers by attending the luncheon Tuesday. He was accompanied by Dr. John Outland of Kansas City, Chancellor Lindley, in introducing Dr. Outland, told of his liberal contribution toward the Memorial fund and of his activity in the campaign at Kansas City. Dr. Outland was the coach of the Washburn football team in 1904 and 1905. Dr. S. S. Estey was introduced by Chairman Otto B, Guffler. Dr. Estey said, "The weakness of our education is lack of play."
At the Wednesday luncheon the reports showed that $24,968 had been pledged. The division led by "Major" Will J. Miller was in the lead at this time with pledges amounting to $8880. "Major" R, W. Blair's division was a close second with $5045. Frank P. MacLennan, team captain in "Major" Blair's division, made the principal talk. He said in parts "We are not only building a stadium and a union building but we are building up a spirit for K, U. with students, former students, the public, and particularly with the legislature.
NUMBER
"We are going to show the legislature that we students have a real investment in this."
Will J. Miller and his team caused considerable consternation when they appeared at the Wednesday lunchcon wearing black and orange caps. It was explained that they were worn in honor of the contribution of Harry Graham, an alumnus of Missouri University, now living in Topeka.
Telegrams were sent to Topkans who were out of town, asking for assistance.
"Y" Has Much Difficulty In Filling Applications
That the applicants for work are greatly exceeding the number of jobs open was brought out Tuesday in an interview with Will Griffith, who is in charge of the Y. M. C. A, office during the summer. This condition is not only true of the summer work but the applications for work in the winter greatly out-number the jobs so far. Griffith, for example, referred to twenty applications were received in the office last week from men who wish to enter the University and who will have to be at least partially self-supporting.
"It is hoped that work on the Staff jam will be started and employment may thus be had for most of the men needing it," says Mr. Griffith.

The Jayhawks then opened up in their first inning and knocked in 4 scores. Hampton, the Haskell pitcher, then tightened up and held them scoreless until the last of the fourth, when they again busted in 4 counters. Frank Mandeville knocked the only home run in the 4th inning, with two men on. Long pitched a splendid game, but was relieved by Kane in the 5th inning after the game was sewed up. "Cap" Garvin was the "official guesser."

VOCATIONAL MEN ARE FED AT LOCAL C. OF C
Wounded World War Veteran Given Reception by Chamber of Commerce
Vocational men of the University, who are being trained under the supervision of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, were entertained by the Chamber of Commerce of Lawrence, Tuesday noon, at 12:30 PM, in Tuesday's business meeting and lunchout of the chamber of commerce.
Short talks were also made by "Potys" Clark, football coach for the ensuing year; Karl Schadman, track coach; John Brodie, president of the vocational men's organization at the University; and T. J. Sweeney, who presented the presentation to the present at the Fourth of July celebration to be held at Woodland Park.
H. B. Ober, president, presided, and while the luncheon was in progress called upon each vocational man to rise and give his name, his home town, and his major subject at the University. This being done, George W. Hamilton, one of the vocational men, sang several songs, and H. S. Jacks, manager of the Kansas City office of the Federal Board, gave a short talk in which he outlined the alms and principles of the Board, and described what they expected to attain. Dean F. J. Kelley, representing the University, gave a short talk, and expressed the good will of the University authorities and the business men of the city toward the men in training.
Charles H. Tucker presented a motion to the effect that the confirmation of the promotion of Major Robert Peck—a regular army officer who is said to have criticized and openly insulted men of the 35th Division in the Argonne—be withheld. The resolution was unanimously adopted, and President Ober ordered that a telegram to that effect be sent to Senator Capper, who is opposing the promotion of Major Peck.
New Note in Summer Session Atmosphere; Catholic Sisters From Paola and Leavenworth
Coming suddenly upon a quiet figure in clinging black and immaculate starchy white in one of the deserted cool vaults of West Ad, one is conscious of a new note in the Summer School atmosphere that certainly is not present at the regular term. Or one comes upon two studious and shrouded figures in a remote corner of the library, poring over the "musty tomes", and is vaguely remembring the Middle Ages, laboriously copying valuable manuscripts in the poor light of their cells.
There are two separate and distinct orders of Sisters attending this Session, the Ursulian, from Paola, and the Sisters of Charity from Leavenworth. The Ursulian order is represented by Mother Thomas, Sister

Lindley has announced the appointment of Am Dudley Blitz as Dean of Women at the University of Kansas for the coming year, to succeed Dr. Alberta Corbin, present Adviser of Women, who will resume her position as instructor of German in the department of Modern Languages. The position of Dean of Women is a new one here.
The announcement states that Dean Blitz will serve the University not only in the capacity of councillor of women, but will be enabled by her previous experience to give assistance to institutions, economies, and will well be able to handle the questions which may arise in the planning and organization of dormitories and the installation of the proposed cafeteria system.

She has taken a number of courses in education, both at the University of Minnesota where she received her degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1904, and at the Teachers' College at Columbia University. She has the distinction of holding the first diploma for Dean of Women ever conferred on her by The College. She has the degree of Water Arts from Columbia.

GRADUATES ORGANIZE EDUCATIONAL SEMINAR
Majors in Education Formed an Organization Last Monday Evening
Monday night the graduate majors in the School of Education, who are working for a Masters degree, met at Green Hall 105, Green Hall, for a conference.
One particularly important thing was the forming of a graduate seminar. In the Summer Session cata-
tion it was not promised until the second session,
There was a good number present at the first meeting, and it was decided to divide the students into two groups. The first group will meet every Thursday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock in Room 120, Fraser Hall. The people who will be interested in this forum are those who have selected a subject of research or those who have outlined their thesis.
There will be reports by those who have partly completed their research work. After each report an opportunity will be given for a give-and-take criticism and suggestions that will be profitable to all.
At the meeting Thursday afternoon, H. H. Oldendie, from Central High School, Kansas City, Mo., reported on an investigation that involved pupil intelligence in groups and weight, and normal weight students.
Supt. H. P. Smith and Prof. C. T.
Gau, from the University of Texas,

The second group is a conference group in the study of education. This group will meet every Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock in room 105, Green Hall. This group will take up problems of research that may be worked out by teachers and administrators in connection with work during the year. Such problems may be outlined and the best form of procedure discussed. This work is open to all who are interested in research study in education. Those who attend will have the advantage of hearing the view point of a great number of people interested in the same thing.

There will be at least five other public nights during the term and more will be arranged if there is sufficient demand.

CHANCELLOR TO BE IN CONVOCATION TODAY
B. —I'm going to be in Colorado this summer. Where're you gain' to be?
S. —In debt.
First Address to Student Body of Summer Session by Head of University
11:30 HOUR IS POPULAR
Same Time Arrangement for the Shortening of Classes As Last Week
Chancellor E. H. Lindley will give his first official greeting and message to the assemblage of Summer Session students and faculty in convoction this morning. The chapel gathering will be held in Fraser Hall at 11:30 o'clock. Special music has been obtained for this occasion.
In order to make time for the convoction, Director W. H. Johnson has provided time of closing classes as previews last week. The gathering of classes on the hour as well as the half hour makes the publication of a time schedule rather confusing but the rule of shortening the periods from five to ten minutes, as the signal whistle blows, will be carried out.
From all the opinions that he has heard expressed, Director Johnson is convinced that the idea of summer convocation at the 11:30 hour is the most satisfactory. It does away with the necessity of many students who attend classes of building walking back across the campus before luncheon hour.
The Chancellor has been so busy that he has scarcely had opportunity to get a look in on the Summer Session proceedings. Following his trip to Ohio where he was commencement speaker at Wilberforce University, he hastened back to participate in the Stadium-Union drive opening at Topeka, making a number of addresses at the state capital this week. He has expressed his gratification that the Summer Session attendance, approaching the 1200 mark, shows its greatest increase and material advancement of the University in the opinion of the people of Kansas.
Several interesting announcements are looked for in convention, among them being a more detailed report from the social committee on entertainments provided for the remainder of the six weeks' session.
STUDENTS' FOURTH OF JULY
Co-operation in Lawrence Town Celebration is Planned
The Gloria Fourth promises to be one day of jollification in Lawrence. To do the thing up right, the University will participate in this Fourth of July, making it a community gathering with K. U., as the right wing, Haskell as the left, and the townpeople as the center of the army of enthusiasts. Primarily the arrangements are being made by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce which announces an all day celebration at Woodland Park. A varied program of speeches, military displays, athletics, family picnics, and music will fill the mind of the afternoon and evening. The business schedule calls for the closing of stores all day excepting groceries, meat markets, bakeries and drug stores open until 10 o'clock in the morning.
Official invitations for the student body and faculty to help in making Independence Day successful are looked for next week from the offices of Chancellor Lindley and Director Johnson.
Psychological Experiments For Children Limited
Prof. C. E. Rosnow of the department of psychology, is conducting psychological examinations of a limited number of children. Mental tests are given it, and in case the parents desire it, a thorough examination of the child is made and the parents are advised about the kind of training best fitted to the individual child. This service is free for a limited time only. Parents desiring to avail themselves of it shall communicate with office of the Director of the Summer Session or with Professor Rosnow at the office of the psychology department between 10 and 10:30 o'clock.
The Extension Department reports an increased enrollment during the past two weeks. This is due to the enrollment of high school students
