Reynolds Editor Lloyd Ruppenthal Business Manager "WE SERVE" FRIDAY, JUNE 17, 1921 "We are here to serve." This is the watchword of the University authorities in the relations with the students in the summer session. Older students are well aware of the fact, and know that whenever the mature counsel of the faculty members is needed it is always available. Kansas faculty members have always taken a sincere interest in the affairs of students. Old grads recall with affection the ways in which faculty men and women have endearded themselves to students in all stages of progress and degrees of difficulty. If the new students, here for the first time, find themselves in a "hole," no better advice can be given them than that they seek the help of those who have so many times proved themselves the friends of students. SUMMER SESSION PECULI LARITIES The difference in the student personnel in the summer session and that of the two regular semesters may not be apparent to the casual observer, be he either student or townman. Nevertheless a decided difference is noticeable. library are the differences but the apparent ones are unfamiliarity with surroundings, more diligence, a great variance in ages, and different purposes in attending the summer session. It is always amusing to be on the Hill the first several mornings of any session, be it winter, spring or summer. The early fall and winter session has, besides the many old students, the young and seemingly unsophisticated country lad who is so soon to develop into the mature college man. The grim humor of sending the inexperienced scrieker for Blake Hall down into the scrisy and horrible basement of Dycho Museum is entirely absent from the Hill this summer. As a member of the fine arts faculty observed to a Kassan cub, "While the winter semester student on the all is trying to get his degree just for the prestige it will give him, the student of the summer session is trying earnestly and seriously to get as much in the limited time allowed him as it is possible to obtain." During the two regular semesters the students are neary of the same approximate age. Most of their ages would be included between ne years of 18 and 25. But in the summer session the ages of the students are as a whole older than those of the other two semesters. The tendency seems to be torched a much older and serious group of students. The difference in occupations is also evident. Catholic sisters, high school superintendents, principals, and teachers, elderly men and women and the usual college crowd combine to make a heterogeneous group which lend picturequeeness and an air of study to the usual atmosphere on Mount Oread. Campus Opinion Views of Students and Others Submitted for the Open Forum Editor, Summer Session Kanan: Does the average student enrolled in the summer session at the University ever feel the pangs of thirst? Not the real need that the traveler lost on the hot expanse of the sandy desert feels, but just the natural feeling that any other student experiences when the sun beats down hot and the cool breezes refuse to blow. A student attending school during the hot summer months of June. July and August is no different from the man or woman who works in the business establishment, and surely must become thirsty at times during the day. Throughout the winter terms, students take advantage of the drinking fountains in the various buildings on the Hill, provided they have time to allow the water to run a few minutes in order that it may be cool enough to palatable. Now when summer grips Kansas, it is usually not warm; it is hot. The business concerns provide their employees with ice water, or at least water that is fair cool. It stands to reason that if a drinking fountain is not flowing to flow a few minutes in winter before it flows cool water, this selfsame drinking fountain, drawing its water from the same source, will not become any cooler in summer. The summer session is just starting and should get into full swing within the next week. The students will get down to the hot grind. They will come onto the Hill at 7:30 in the morning, and remain there at least four hours. Their minds will feel the effects of the hot weather, and believe that tired, hot feeling by going to an iced drinking fountain, or will they be forced, if they would drink, to try to swallow the hot, tepid liquid that will flow from the old fountains of the winter sessions? Weary Student. The Symposium Random Paragraphs of No Great Importance Round About Mount Oread APPEARANCES DECEIVE in the pre-war days of 1913-14 one never thought of observing the Physics Building clock to tell the time of day. It, among other University ne'er-do-wells, was the subject of bitter editorial attacks as well as of ironical feature stories in the Daily Kansan. Had it really refused to go, it would not have been so bad. After a single bitter experience, one could have ignored it forever. Instead, it had a distracting habit of being slow one day, fast the next. After disheartening experiences, no one dreamed of using it as a timepiece. One University prodigal daughter, like that prodigal of old, had a startling surprise when she returned Tuesday morning, after an absence of some years to attend classes on the Hill. Just as in the old days, she dawed in pleasant by-paths, fatiously pleased that everything looked just as it did at the lock hands on the Physics Building. She arrived at her class just one-half hour late. The Physics clock was going!—L. H. A very interesting contrast may be found between the summer and winter sessions at the University in the way that many of the professors approach their classes for the first time. At the beginning of the fall semester a professor walks into his classroom with an air of confidence—master of the situation. He takes a general survey of the students of the class and begins. At the first class of the summer session things are different. He creeps in rather cautiously, carefully scrutinizing every member of the class as if wondering about the extent of knowledge that each has along his particular line. These are men far superior to him in age and possibly knowledge. He cannot help feeling just a little shaky on that first morning—V. H. Not for nothing have the many summer session students been working and saving all winter, at least not for dainties, if the word of the owners of the various cafes of Lawrence may be taken as proof. The egg-olive sandwich or order of fruit salad, which sufficed for the lunch of the fairer sex during the past semester, is not sufficient to stay the more substantial hunger of the summer student. EVEN PROFS, LOSE POISE KING ROAST BEEF Summer session students as a rule are accustomed to regular meals and when they go to a cafe, they go for the purpose of eating and not merely for diversion. The many delicacies here highly nourish the body and giving place to foods containing more calories, though perhaps a little less pleasing to the palate. Another thing which is less in evidence than during the previous semesters this year is the cigarette. Save for the senior laws who still decorate the lawn in front of Green Hall with the remains of their daily fags, the buildings of the campus seem to have lost their quotas of between-class incense burners. A new spirit seems to pervade the Hill; a spirit a little more industrious, a little less exuberant, the spirit of the summer session -R.J.D. The homes of Lawrence have been used as temporary looping places for students for a good many years. The men and women who have been thus accommodated are fairly well educated. The men and women who open their homes to students are educated—by association with the students, if in no other way. On Monday of this week, as one student went from place to place in search of a room, the general odor was that of scopsuids. The usual remark by the lady of the house in each instance was something like this: "Please excuse my appearance. I am washing." Association with educated people does not elevate the citizens of Lawrence above the gracious performance of their own menial tasks—F. W. ARISTOCRATS OF LABOR SURPRISED One is often surprised in the people he meets during summer session on the Hill. Here stifffacked superintendents and teachers meet, bent on the same tasks as younger people. One day this week a wideawake little girl, well-acquainted with the campus after one year's experience, was tripping up the steps of Robinson Gymnasium, when whom should she meet but her former high school principal. This is what was overheard as she whispered to her companion. "Gee whiz! What has overcome old Jones? When I was in high school he thought he knew it all, but some one must have changed his mind for him." M. H. PUZZLING JOURNALISM BYWAYS PUZZLING JOURNALISTRY BAYS "Where is JJD?" was the question that puzzled the new students as they wandered perplexedly through the nicely furnished rooms and narrow corridors in the journalism building in search of the place in which their first class was to be held. The mystery bade fair to remain unsolved until an "old" journalism student, acquainted with the byways of the newspaper quarter, led the newcomers into a rather dimly furnished room with a high perchlike desk from which has come the instruction that prepares scores of K. U.报纸 men and women for the jobs they now occupy. Here they sat down in relief, wondering how they could have found the room by their own efforts. RAIN AND BOBBED HAIR The present period of damp, cloudy weather is all right and very satisfactory to a certain proportion of the summer session students.

It might be added that they are not human. At any rate, this fact about them is certain—they have never had their hair bobbed. the campus free from the danger of sunstrike, and they heartily agree that they would rather get a soak on the elements than from perspiration. There are a few sensations in this world worse than either sunstroke or perspiration. And out of these is experienced by every bob-headed girl on a rainy day. She can get up an hour earlier in the morning than is her wont in order to burn herself crisp with an electric curler. All to no avail, it is raining. She might as well spare herself and spend that extra hour in bed, for as soon as she steps out of doors, no matter how many hair nets she has on, her curls soak through before and before the day is over her admiring friends who believed that her curls were natural easily perceive the error of their judgements. It is harrowing. But the bobbied girl has one recourse. She can go to the beauty shop and get her locks permanently fitted, proof, at one dollar per curl.-L. L. PROFESSIONAL CARDS LAWRENCE D.
