What You Can Do
Summer is considered by most persons as a time for vacationing, relaxing and enjoying life. However, if you find yourself among those of us returning for summer school don't despair, KU has much to offer in the line of summer entertainment.
If you are a theatre goer you'll enjoy the four plays the summer theatre will present. The first one, William Saroyan's "The Cave Dwellers," opens June 19. You can also go on any of the four bus trips to the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, Mo. The Starlight produces various Broadway musicals throughout the summer.
For music lovers, the summer music camp sponsors two concerts each Sunday.
The intramural department offers a variety of activities for the sports minded. There are
men's softball teams as well as individual competition in golf, tennis, badminton, horse shoes and hand ball. The area in front of Flint Hall will be lighted at night and there will be volleyball, badminton, aerial darts and shuffleboard equipment available.
Outdoor movies will be held every Friday night east of Robinson Gymnasium at 8 p.m.
If you like to dance, head for the Union. There will be six ballroom dances and three square dances held, the first one to be held June 16.
Of course if you don't feel like taking part in any strenuous activity and are just looking for someone to talk to there is always the air-conditioned Hawk's Nest in the Union.
Martha Crosier
Are You Represented?
The people of the United States and the state of Kansas are supposed to believe in democratic and representative government, and in government "of the people, by the people, and for the people."
If you look at Kansas and many other states in the Union you will find this principle violated. Some areas approach the historical situation that brought the cry, "No taxation without representation."
The apportionment in Kansas is bad. There are 125 seats in the House of Representatives in Kansas. There are 105 counties. Each county is guaranteed at least one representative. This leaves only 20 seats to pass around to the larger counties such as Sedgwick, Wyandotte, Johnson, Shawnee, and Saline.
As a matter of fact, 41 per cent of the voters in Kansas elect 75 per cent of the legislators. This
is a far cry from equal representation. The representative from Greeley County represents slightly more than 2,000 people. A representative from Sedgwick County represents over 50,000 people.
There are four methods of representation. They are the popular way (everyone has equal vote); class (House of Lords in England); political units (United States Senate and the United Nations); and territory (state senates).
The most common way is to form a bicameral body with two of the above-mentioned methods. The United States Congress has the Senate using equal representation for each political unit and the House of Representatives with each member representing nearly the same amount.
In Kansas it seems both houses of the legislature are representing territory rather than people.
-Gary Hale
TV Notes
"The Great Gatsby," the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, will be presented June 26 on "Playhouse 90." It will be recalled that a previous live dramatization of the work was offered about three seasons back by Robert Montgomery on his NBC series. Montgomery also played the title role.
The last "Climax" program on CBS will be June 26. Not just the last of the season either—this live one-hour show has been jettisoned.
From The Hart
The leading lady of "Today is Ours," new dramatic serial starting June 30 on NBC, 3 to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, will be Pat Benoit. TV viewers remember her well as the girl friend on the "Mr. Peepers" program of yesteryear.
Some enterprising high school male is going to file a protest with the Supreme Court about something that has happened in Kansas. The boy is prepared to claim that holding Boys State in Wichita and Girls State at Lawrence is segregation.
Down in Askagin, they called off the last event of commencement exercises because the county attorney threatened an investigation if they insisted on having a recreational.
As the last person of the more than 1,200 graduating seniors at KU received her diploma, a loud cheer went up from the senior section, most gathered that it was because she was the last one. But we think it was because her thesis was titled "Drinking Habits Among High School Children."
People in Lawrence are yelling about parking meter charges and time limits. They only have to pay $1 for not paying the overparking tickets promptly. In Topeka the person who ignores the ticket must pay $10, thus making it the only town in Kansas where you can ignore two parking tickets and own your own parking meter.
LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS By Dick Bibler
Famous Last Words Dept.: "Oh,
they don't flunk graduating seniors."
"FRANKLY, I DON'T BELIEVE IN USING GRADES AS A 'MOTIVATING' FORCE."
Bob Hartlev
J. T. in the Lawrence Outlook (a KU grad) says, "A California Democrat has proposed that the United States airlift food to famine-stricken Brazil to rectify the ill will shown against us on Vice-president Nixon's recent tour of Latin America. Isn't that the way it always happens. Someone throws a rock at us and we throw money back."
As seniors walked down the hill at KU last week about this time, one engineering student (ex-student now) saw the buildings and grounds sprinklers in the middle of Memorial Stadium. Turning to a friend he remarked, "Boy, Jack Mitchell isn't turning off the sprinklers for anybody, is he?"
If they can work those shrill notes out of the campus whistle, life will be a lot easier this summer.
Short Ones
Here's to the ladies, God bless 'em.
In sacks the designers will dress 'em.
The chemise factories
Will be busy as bees,
And the style change should break
the depression.

Until after the Civil War, nearly all clock-making in America was centered in Connecticut. But an Illinois company founded in 1885 is today the nation's biggest producer, with more than 3.500 persons employed by the Westelco organization at its LaSalle, Ill. plant.
The Devil's Current surges through the Bosporus, the historic strait which separates European and Asian Turkey, at six miles an hour. Beneath the surface, the National Geographic magazine says, a countercurrent of saltier water flows in the opposite direction.
