War Hits Plans of University Faculty for Summer Vacation
High Railroad Fare and Need For Conservation Prevents Many Summer Trips
Summer Session Uses Many
.
Mechanical and Science Professors Work In
The war has affected even the vacations of the members of K. U.'s faculty. Pew of the instructors are planning their customary summer trips this year, chiefly on account of conditions brought about by the war. The high cost of railroad fare and the absence of the usual excursion routes will prevent them from traveling this summer, while others say it is a patriotic duty to remain at home and help conserve the nation's supply of coal and other materials.
MANY TEACH THIS SUMMER
A large number of University
instructors will find employment in
teaching in the summer session
school, some teaching for four weeks
and others for only four weeks or
for six weeks. Eighty-two members
of the faculty will remain in Law-
rence and do this work.
Among these are Dean J. W. Green of the School of Law, Dean F. W. Blackmar of the Graduate School, Vice-Chancellor W. L. Burdick, O. H. Hamilton, head of the department of physical education, Prof. Arthur A. Gaynor, head of department of public speaking, Prof. H. C. Thurnau, head of the German department, and Prof. L. N. Flint, head of the department of journalism.
JOURNALIST PROFS TO PAPERS
In the department of journalism, nearly every instructor, with the exception of Professor Flint, who remains for the summer session, will find employment on a newspaper or other publication for the summer. Prof. G. W. Rice intends to work for the Boston Transcript, and Prof. W. A. Dill plans to work for the Associated Press in Kansas City. Prof. S. O. Rice intends to go east and write for publications there. Prof. W. B. Brown will teach in the University Press at Cambridge, Mass.
Several members of the K. U. fac-
cully will go to other schools this summer to teach during the summer term. Dean D. L. Patterson will teach history at Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio. Prof H. P. Cady of the department of chemistry, will go to Leland Stanford University at Palo Alto, Calif., for senior school. Professor Cady will make the trip in his motor car, and may go by the northern route in order to witness the eclipse of the sun.
Prof. C. C. Crawford of the department of history, and Prof. M. C. Elmer of the sociology department, will teach at the University of Minnesota for the next few months. Prof. S. J. Laird will teach chemistry at the Oklahoma State Normal at Durant, Okla.
MANY INSTRUCTORS GO EAST
Prof. L. E. Sisson, after spending part of his vacation teaching in the summer session, will visit for a time at his old home in central New York, going from there to his cabin on Lake Michigan, where he will spend the remainder of the summer. Prof. S. L. Whitcomb probably will go to Colorado late in the summer spending the time in studying and writing.
MANY INSTRUCTORS GO EAST
official faculty members will engage in other lines of work this summer.
Prof. E. L. E.Kester of the department of physics, will be emeritus. Dr. B. C. Washington, D. C. of State University, Washington, D. C. Shaad of the School of Engineering will work for the General Electric Co., at Schedetecty, N. Y.
Miss Alice L. Brown, assistant instructor in zoology, will go to the Marine Biological Laboratory at Wood's Hole, Mass.
Dean L. E. Sayre of the School of Pharmacy will go to Michigan this summer, spending his vacation visiting his daughter at Ann Arbor, and at his cottage at Douglas. Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, head of the chemistry department, will go to Northport, N. J., and later to Northport, Mich.
Last Call For Equipment
Today and tomorrow is the last chance that K. U. students will have to check in athletic equipment belonging to the University Athletic Association. All equipment which the students fail to return will be charged to them, and no other equipment will be checked out to them in the future until they made good the loss. None of the athletic equipment can be held during the summer except by special permission.

Two Former Kansans
Go To National Army
Two former K. U. men will go to Fort Logan, Colo., in the draft contingent of Kansas City which leaves Paul Brindel and H. Merle Smith.
Paul Brindel was sports editor of the Daily Kansan in 1915-16 and is now doing desk work on the Kansas City Journal. H. Merle Smith has been working for the Kansas City Star. He was also a member of a member of the University debating team. Both men previously have tried to enlist but were rejected.
With these men about twenty other K. U. men will go from Kansas to Fort Logan in the same draft of May 29. This contingent is the first quota from Kansas to go to any other place than Camp Funston.
