Individual instruction was given in every corrective class. There were 15 classes held with 105 in attendance. Small groups of women came voluntarily to get instruction with education and in correct posture.
During the five years that Docto Bacon has been here she has taken 58 pictures of her, and that 98 per cent of the women, ex-posed have some _foot_ aliment.

Seniors May Check Out Robe at Fraser Stand
Can Get Gowns June 6-7
Caps and gowns which have been ordered by seniors will be distributed at Fraser check stand Friday and Saturday, June 6 and 7, Gilvil Miller, chairman of the cap and gown committee announced Wednesday. No distributions will be made on other dates, according to Miller.
In order that each senior may receive a gown according to the size ordered, the records as given by each senior have been kept. Those who receive the gown cannot receive them, as the committee cannot guarantee late orders. However, any senior who discovers he will be unable to graduate will be allowed to rent his gown to another institution for presentation of proper identification.
The caps and gowns must be checked in by the evening of June 11, Miller said. This will give a day in which to return the gowns, which will be back on time. Each senior will be held responsible for his gown and cap.

Potter Lake Will Open During First Six-Week Session
Life Guards to Be on Duty Committee Makes Plans for Providing Real Pool
Potter lake will be available for swimming during the six weeks term of summer school from 1 p. m. to dark, and two-life-hikes will be or
This announcement was made today by Dr. Forrest C. Allen, director of athletics. Announcement of appointments as life-guards will be made during the first week of snor- school.
A number of classes in swimming and life-saving will be given in connection with the school of coaching for both men and women.
Committee Investigates Need
Some day Potter lake will be a real swimming place, with a chat bench, a chlorinator, and pump for changing the water, according to the committee appointed last winter by the chancellor to make an investigation of the lake and to draw up a plan for changes.
The committee, consisting of Prof George C. Shaud, Prof W. C. MeNown, Prof H. A. Rice, Joan Shen and Prof B. M. Jewell, made a thorough investigation i.e. and reported on the needs, and the probable cost.
A probable scheme would utilize the stadium for dressing quarter, m at the distance from the closest corner of that structure to the lake is common. A second strategy would chatter up the landscape with small buildings scattered around. The pool would be concreted, with means for disinfecting the water and for draining the lake. It is possible that a stand-alone ball pitcher and use of skating in the winter.
Plan Dressing Quarters
But the whole vision cannot be realized until one of two things happens—either the legislature makes a law that promotes society becomes able to pay for the improvement. The recent purchase of more land south of the Mills makes the chance of this action by the Athena Association a little more remote.

Mister Dill blushed awful with grief when he met the nullell pulled his front hair down over his glasses, it being there most of the time, anyway.
Then he started looking at the crevices, while the kids kept on laughing, and he started figuring out what ones to take home to the baby, he having one at home. There was old-day suckers, and soap, and marmalade, but he didn't put lutars, and crackers and flowers and gun—and partly soon Mister D lauched and said he guessed he'd take them all. And he said nobody did that to him before and he was overwhelmed, which means "all

"The awards are made on the basis of previous training and experience in scientific research, and they are given each year to 31 men, selected from all of the universities and colleges of the country." Doctor Stoland went on to say. "The amount of the fellowship is $2300 and mileage.
"Professor Reed will continue his research at the University of Chicago on the systematic physiological processes in cancer, with his degree of doctor of philosophy." While he will be given a position on the faculty staff of the University of Chicago, that rank will not be mean to me, but an 'a teaching' did Doctor Stoland.

Students to Pay $13.50 for Games and 1925 Annual
Plan to Give Best Bargain Ever Offered on Year Book and Other Activities
"A blank tax of approximately $13.50 will be made for athletics, the regular student enterprises and the registration next fall if planed to do so." In oil, the W. S. G. A., and the student enterprise ticket committee are approved by the chancellor, and the university "statement," said Dean User, this morning.
According to the tentative plans which have not yet been adopted in practice, the training by all students with the provision that any or all of it will be refunded on demand at the business during the first week n. Oc-
Plans Not Yet Complete
The total amount of the tax and its exact division remain to be worked out in a tentative division for purposes of nutrition may be, $8 for athletes, excepting the relays, $3.50 for the Jayhawk, and $2 for the other student enterprises. Any one or two of these amounts or all three of them will be upon demand at the specified time.
This plan will save an expensive sales campaign for the Jayhawker and a difficult and time-consuming one for the wear of the ticket itself.
"This plan," said Dean Dyer, "will give students at K. U. the best bargain on athletics offered at a price not rivaled anywhere in the country. It will provide adequate support for the two glee clubs, for the band and choir, for mathes and debating. Besides these advantages it will provide a small fund for the support of such propositions as the booster trips of musical and dramatic organizations and in sports like boxers and haywaters in Kansas high schools."
The prediction of many who have discussed the plan is that about three thousand, instead of two thousand as at present, will retain their tickets. If this estimate is correct there will be a net loss in basketball reservations which may be met by allowing but six reservations to a student on the blanket tax.
Those who insist upon reservations to all eight games probably can secure tickets to the other two games from fellow students and still pay very much less altogether than the other players. Because of ability, however, there will be enough tickets in most student houses to accommodate all who can attend.
Only One Real Objection
The only real objection to the plan is that the compulsory collection of the tax on income met by the privilege of a refund at an early date of any or all of the tax. The two councils and the committee felt that the advantages in the way of economy to the student body as a new student enterprise are more important than student enterprises in which most students are genuinely interested more than outweigh the temporary difficulty and accept it in good spirit, care to keep their tickets. It is hoped that such an attitude will further the difficulty and accept it in good spirit.
The plan, when finally worked out,
must be presented to the chancellor,
and the board for their consideration.
The plans must also be described in a folder similar to the one issued last year and will be given statewide publicity through the press.
