THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
PAY THREE-FOURTHS OF MEMORIAL FUND
"Students Returns Show Remarkable Percentage to Date," Says Hill
About seventy-five per cent of the payments to the Stadium-Union Memorial campaign, pledged by the students of the University, have already been paid and a small number are still coming in from them at their homes, according to Alfred G. Hill, secretary of the campaign.
"This is a remarkably high percentage," said Mr. Hill, "because many of the students had but little money toward the last of the term. Scores of students will earn cash this summer and make their initial payments this fall. I believe that the percentage of payments in programs from our budget is 90 per cent. The way the students have responded to their obligation is one of the most encouraging things in the Memorial campaign.
"Payments are also being received from the Lawrence and Kansas City campaigns," continued Mr. Hill. "Collection of these pledges will be pushed with the naming of a permanent treasurer of the Memorial corporation. This will be done in a short time. To date without any organization, the returns have been closely collected. In addition, many of the contributors have paid the entire amount instead of waiting the full four years.
"At the present time collection of the Kansas City pledges is being made by Thornton Cooke, President of the Columbia National Bank. In Lawrence the payments are being made at all the Lawrence banks."
VARSITY SOCIAL EVENING
First Event Held in Gym Inclu ed program of Dancing
The first all Varsity social evening of the Summer Session brought enjoyment to several hundred students and instructors who gathered in Robinson Gymnasium last Friday evening. The entertainment consisted of a "get acquainted" hour, some musical selections and a couple of hours spent in dancing. For the benefit of the older students and teachers, some waltzes and dances popular a few years back, were included.
Upon entering the gymnasium, the participants were tagged with a slip of paper bearing their names so as to make acquaintances double certain. The introductions committee continued their duties all evening and many found new and agreeable friends after passing the formal evening line headed by Summer Session Director W. H. Johnson, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. E. H. Lindley, the chancellor not having had time to return from his trip to the eastern central states, and Dean F. J. Kelly and Mrs. Kelly. On the other side of the gym, refreshments were handed out steadily, the evening being quite warm although a cool breeze from the open windows on the south side brought comfort to the assemblage.
Professor F. P. O'Brien, chairman of the social committee, announced the musical numbers consisting of vocal selections by Roy Gaffney and Miss Irene Peabody from the School of Fine Arts. Liberal applause brought encore selections from Mr. Gaffney after his rendering an adaptation of "The Poet and Peasant," and Miss Peabody's group of songs.

Topeka Boosts the Stadium Union Fund
(Continued from Page 1.)
"The response of the alumni and friends of the University to the Memorial campaign is most inspiring. Everywhere, so far, the pledges have been far in excess of the quotas. There is in abounding hope that the fund will reach far beyond the million mark; thus symbolizing not only the patriotism of the people of Kansas, but also their faith in higher education, expressing in concrete form their determination that the youth of Kansas shall enjoy unexcelled opportunities of education within their own state."
R. J. Delano, c'03, of Kansas City, was one of the speakers of the evening. He told the fellows in the capital city "how it was done" in Kansas City. Mr. Delano was captain of the winning division in the Memorial Fund drive recently put on in his home city. This campaign netted the fund $206,000, while their quota was $160,000. His plea was for strong organization and thorough canvass.
Dr. F. C. "Phog" Allen talked on "Dreams." He told Chancellor Lindley as a boy standing on the streets of Lafayette, Ind., watching David Starr Jordan and other great men pass, and dreaming that some day he himself might be great and useful.
Prof. W. J. Baumgartner years ago梦追ed that the University might be more democratic. Mr. Allen also spoke of his own dream while he was at K. U, some years ago of a "Tommy Johnson" memorial building. The Great War intervening has changed the name and type of memorial but the building is coming. Geo. "Potsy" Clark was there, too, and gave a strong, brief talk. Secretary Alfred Hill, of the Alumni Association, went to Topeka yesterday morning to assist in final ar-
The K. U. Summer Session band consisting of twenty-four members was present and furnished some stirring music. Bert Ober, president of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, had provided cars to take the band to Toneka.
The parade led by the K. U. Umbrella brigade was a unique feature of the evening. Dean Butler led the singing of K. U. songs. About 100 citizens of Lawrence were there. Otto B. Guffer, chairman of the Topeka campaign, presided at the banquet.

Men's Forum Will

sion will get the right viewpoint in regard to the Men's Forum. It's your organization, a place where you can rub up against the other fellow engaged in school work, where the problems common to all of us may be discussed. Every man who is interested in education should be present at these meetings. The plan is to meet once a week in the Little Theater in Green Hall.
Vote for Officers
"Last summer the Forum held several profitable meetings, the speakers being men here in the summer school, both members of the faculty and students. The last meeting of the summer is in a nature of a farewell social gathering, and after a summers' work together this last meeting always means a great deal to the men attending.
(Continued from Page 1.)
"Director Johnson, of the Summer Session, has suggested a little different plan for the work this summer. It is that some outside speaker be invited to come to Lawrence and talk to us on some live school problems. His suggestion will be considered for action at the meeting.
"This Men's Forum does not die during the winter. Some definite line of progressive work is carried on by this body throughout the winter months. Last winter the Forum's task was to arouse as much interest and publicity as possible in the State Commissioner of Education idea. The secretary of the State Teachers' Association was called upon and as a result this subject was discussed by Chan-

WIEDEMANN'S "Purest for 53 Years"
The Nearest Thing To Mother's Cooking
Of course, we all have a prejudiced desire for mother's home cooking—its wholesome, fresh flavor. We once ate mother's cooking ourselves so we won't argue about the goodness of that kind of food. But, incidentally, while we are not stepping forth as rivals to mother's art—still we do pride ourselves on the flavor and zestful deliciousness to be found in the food we serve here.
Meals served at Brick's are prepared clean—in a sanitary kitchen—then they are cooked with care, seasoned by a "knowing-how" touch, and the result—the nearest thing to mother's cooking!
