SHOWER BATH FIXTURES
The broken fixtures for the shower baths at Robinson Gymnasium are being repaired at Fowler Shops. Dr James Naismith has promised that all will be well with the showers in a few days and that the straight stream room soon will be installed. A majority of the old showers will be cleaned out and used again but several new ones will have to be cast at the shops.
SUMMER SCHOOL GROWS
10 PER CENT YEARLY
"The Summer School attendance has been increasing at the rate of ten per cent every year," said A. S. Olin, dean of the School of Education and Summer School in an interview yesterday. "There is no reason why the increase shouldn't be even greater at the University of Kansas this summer, owing to the fact that a much richer program will be offered."
In speaking of the advantages of
it, teachers say, "It affords the teachers over the
state a means of keeping up in their school work and learning new ideas without the loss of time or salary. At present there are over one-fourth of the teachers over the state that want to take higher work, and the Summer School has solved the problem for them.
"Then again some students are obliged to drop out of school before their education is completed, and if it were not for the Summer School; they would probably never have the opportunity of finishing."
The Summer Session bulletin is in the hands of the state printer now and will be out for distribution within a week or ten days.
The Kansan is glad to print announcements in which you are interested. These should be mailed or phone so as to receive a reply on the day they are to be printed. K. U. 25 Bell.

Sport Hash
By Earl Crabbe
Despite the fact that football comes in for more than its share of adverse criticism, it is significant not only because it is tied to the game, and all college athletes in general, but five years ago The New York Tribune under the caption "Football at Columbia" having significant editorial comment;
"The value of a rough sport like football cannot be measured with the same precision that marks the tabulation of its casualties, but now and then there comes to hand some striking testimonial like that of Dr. Walter F. Rittman, the young inventor. Dr. Rittman asscribes himself as one of important chemical processes as those involving the cheapening of gasoline and the production of dyestuffs from petroleum to the physical endurance and capacity for perseverance he developed on the football field. And Dr. Rittman played football in those bad old days when beef counted for as much as wind and hair for more than brains. His exaltation was born with an appeal to that Columbia faculty committee which is just now considering the advisability of a return of the much improved football to Columbia University.
"Just why the members of this committee should require the expression of a passionate desire for the game from a majority of the undergraduates is not altogether clear. If the game is worth while, it is Rit's hands and its fingers. Edwardws pumpher its cripples, mental and physical, let those who like it play, regardless of the support received from the remainder."
While the Kansas coach is figuring on a way to use Rodkey to best possible advantage at Kansas City the Missouri mentor is probably worrying along the same line about Cappellari's performance on the basketball team. Signs on all his teammates from the quarter to cross country and Murphy is easily the class of the Tiger athletes from the 440-yard event to the mile and he could probably give Fawcett of Missouri a point peaches on the strategy used in placing these men so that they will produce points to best advantage.
The idea of competition between the Kansas City Athletic Club and the University should be encouraged. The alumni of the different schools and the Kansas City talent can form a team that officials will do a little recruiting. The Olympic Club of San Francisco and the Multnomah Club of Portland compete with university teams successfully. Such competition would benefit the alumni of the institution into closer touch with the student interests.
When it comes to getting in wrong with the Profs, the diligent cub reporter has it on the lazy athlete. Some say that the long-inheaded J.J. Abramson gridron or cinderella heroes who are on the border line of scholastic failure, but woe betide the reporter who enrolls in Tommy Reeds' "Poly Set" courses at California. The foliage quoted from the Daily 'uilformant;
"Newspaper reporters are a sad
Monday I delivered a little lecture on "Traffic in Alcohol." One of these Examiner reporters pieces together a few sentences that have been around and announced, "Tommy Reed defends sacrow," says Prof. T. H. Reed. "Last loops and bartenders!" I hope a reporter for reporters in the next world."
And Tommy is a good Indian too, for he once saved myself and the athletic mandarin at U. C. considerable trouble by putting on a thick leather jacket on Political Science, enabling me to linger on the campus. I'd like to add that he should not talk "several thousand words" on "Traffic in Alcohol" and expect very good treatment but since I'm not a student, an awful job for it the matter is dropped.
The form shown by Richards of Cornell and Oler of Yale at the Madison Square Garden games Saturday night presages a possible first match when those two men and Nichols of California meet at the I, C. 4, A. games next May. Richards scored 6:4 the other night, Oler at 6:3, while Nichols, who has not been in competition yet this season found him outfielded 2:2 inches at a class meet on the old Berkeley oval last November.
Nicholas and Oler tied for first place in the big intercollegiate contest last May on Soldiers field at 6:2. Both were capable of better performance under conditions while Nichols was trying to win points for his college in the pole vault and, as a matter of fact, cleared 12 feet during the competition. Richards is the winner of the 1912 Olympic competition at the 1912 Winter Games in Horine, the former world's champion and Litschke the German title holder for this event. When three men of this callibre clash, it does not take such a great stretching of the imagination to see 618 clear steps. But with the much talked of roll form, made famous by Ed. Beecon and George Horine.

FRATERNITIES ON CAMPUS
Northwestern Builds Houses for Cracks, and Barry

C. S. Monitor.
Taking the college fraternity under its wing, Northwestern University has supervised the expenditure of $500,000 on a quadrangle of fraternity houses and non-fraternity dormitories. The land given for all the buildings and the non-fraternity dormitories has been paid for out of the university treasury. A large number of students mingled with the dormitories were built by the Greek letter men on credit which the university helped them to secure. The title remains with the institution. A truer college democracy is what
A truer college democracy is what the university hopes to achieve by
this new unique system, and it is achieving it, it is said. Better scholarship and a decrease in student expense are resulting. Dr. Abraham W. Harris, president of the university, pleased with the outcome so far.
Students Pleased
The students, boasting of quarters that are not to be surpassed and generally hardly to be touched by men in or out of the college fraternity, are themselves delighted. The quid-rangle has just completed its final year. Credit for the plan and its development lies with President Harris.
