Phila. Press.—The most astounding achievement of motion photography.
The Washington Post—Not even the Scott pictures, the Rainey African hunt pictures or the Williamson Submarine pictures can equal these astonishing photographic representations of marine and animal life. The story is a tale of dauntless heroism.
Phila. Inquirer.-Educationally the views are of the highest value. The living records of the animals and birds of this desolate region, the sea lions and sea elephants, the giant and the sea petrels are beyond price.
N. Y. American-Most wonderful motion pictures' ever taken in Polar regions.
Toronto World.—No such pictures were ever shown in Canada before.

Increasing Demand for Plays Over State From Extension Division
PLAYS MAKE MONEY
"But," cries the newly elected member of every women's club, protestingly. "We'll never agree on any one play." Amid a chorus of voices all explaining at once, she as last understands that "we just send to the Play Department in chair of this department Department of the University, and tell them what kind of a play we want, and presto! the play will appear.
"The play's the thing," exclaims not the sixteenth century boy Hamlet, but the nineteenth century president of every senior class, and of every woman's club in Kansas, planning to buy everything from a vicinity to the high school, to pearl grey and toose hangings for the new club rooms.
PUBLIC DEMANDS PLAYS
And the play does appear, because there is a Play Bureau created just as any of the thousand and one bueaus of information in the world was created; by the demands of the public. Is it more preposterous to demand information as to the proper books for the library or a Persian rug for the club house than to demand whether it is going to rain or snow?
Kansas schools and clubs don't think so for in 1916-17 three hundred seventy-five requests came to the Play Bureau. In answer to these over fifteen hundred plays and one hundred sixty-eight recitations were sent out.
The high school classes and women's clubs, once the decision to have a play is made, have no further trouble until rehearsals begin.
When the card reaches the Extension office, the play director notes the kind of play and the number of characters wanted. Then a case is opened containing hundreds and hundreds of paper packages; plays that have been labeled five, seven, eight and labeled the number of characters in the play.
POPULAR TASTE IN SELECTION
Sometimes in the selection of a play, a very serious difficulty arises because, "all classes have more girls than boys, and nearly all plays have more boys than girls." It can readily be seen that the problem of adjustment between a class full of girls and a play full of boys requires astute handling. And then another difficulty, popular taste. Popular
taste in plays. Why, of course, or how will you account for the fact that "The Mouse Trap," has been given in nearly every town in Kansas in the last two years?
As you look at these stacks of plays you wonder if probably the "Obstinate Family," or "Six Cups of Chocolate," or even "Lend Me Five Shillings," wont lead the fashion in plays for the season of 1016'17.
SUMMER STUDENTS SWIM
Enjoy Potter Lake Hot July Afternoons
The tall youth on the top diving platform at Potter Lake leans for ward to make the leap, falters, and loses his nerve.
"Look out below!"
Such a scene as the above can be observed at Potter lake almost every afternoon. About seventy-five bathers, most of them Summer Sessionists, make up the average afternoon crowd. Driven to the lake to escape the discomfort of "Old Soils" reign of terror, they make the most of the coolness the affords. It is useless to ask them if they are enjoying these. To see the gay sport and to hear the joyful shouts is enough to convince any onlooker that Potter lake is the most popular place on the Hill these days.
Up goes one of the experts. He poises for a moment on the platform, leans out a little, then shoots like a flash into the cool waters below. A youngster, not to be outdone, grasps a suspended ring and swings far out over the lake. Releasing his hold, he turns a somersault and strikes the water with a clean-cut dive. Soon the air is filled with joyous cries and catcalls, while numerous splashes indicate that many other swimmers are entering the water via the springboard route. On a raft in the center of the lake, a group of boys hilariously engage in aquatic sports. Timid learners disport themselves in the shallow water inside the rope inclosure on the east side of the lake. Here and there beginners are paddling about buoyed up by water wings while others, holder than their companions, scorn the use of the little "air-bags" and strike out for themselves.
"Go on, don't be a piker," comes the bantering cry from the onlookers.
A letter home—the Summer Session Kansan.
The would-be diver grins sheepish;
"it looks farther up from here, come
along."
K. U. GETS COAL MINE
Tunnel Will be Driven Under Campus Next Semester —Developing Vein
GIVES PRACTICAL WORK
Department of Mining Will Require 30 Hours Labor.
The University is to have a coal mine on the campus. The department of mining has obtained permission from the Board of Administration to drive a tunnel under the campus to give the students practical experience in meeting the problems that confront the miner in his work.
The department of mining will require thirty hours of practical work in the mine each term. This work will include tunneling, use of the air drills, use of explosives, sharpening tools on a forge, and the use of cars in the course of the mine. The course will offer 20 hours of work. A. C. Terrill will conduct the work in the classroom, and Prof. R. L. Griik will the practical work in the mine.
The mine will be located a little south and east of Worthing Hall. A four-inch stratum which crops out over the campus at numerous place will be taken out. This vein lies under the second bed of Oread limestone. The professors think that there is another bed about one hundred and seventy feet below the surface. It is hoped that this can be developed later. This vein is supposed to be eighteen or twenty inches thick.
TO STUDY K. C. PARKS
The students will do all the work in this mine. This is not a new plan as the Colorado School of Mines has had one in operation for a long time. The Missouri School of Mines also has the Neither of them however, are as busy with K. U. in having a vein to work with and having to drill in solid rock.
Botany Class to Determine Trees Best Suited to Kansas
Prof. W. C. Stevens, of the department of botany is planning to take his class in "Trees and Shrubs" to Kansas City to study the parks and landscapes that have been made by experts. Up to this time the students have been studying those trees which are suitable for streets and parks in Kansas, and as a result of their investigation, have found that the following trees are best adapted: em. hackberry, red oak, pin Oak, sycamore, hard maple and Norway maple. Farther west the honey locust and the Russian olive in addition to some of the others, are adaptable. The work of the class so far has been very interesting; for instance "The Tree of Heaven," a tree resembling a giant shumac has been found to be making itself at home here. A tree thought only to be found in the temple gardens of Japan and China has been found to do very well in Kansas. It is called the "Ginko" or the "maiden hair树" and belongs to the pine group. It is very old geologically, supposed to have been here as long as man, or before. A good specimen may be seen at Dr. Williston's place.
After superintending the schools at Elliwood for a year, Glenn L. Wycoff, a graduate of Southwestern College, is back to attend another Summer Session. He expects to take his master's degree at Chicago next year.

EVER SEE THE SUN DIAL?
Erected By Class of '99 South of Museum
How many Summer Session students know that the monument-like stone standing just south of the Natural History Museum is, or was originally, a sun dial? It would keep time just as well, no doubt, if it had a top, but tradition says, that once upon a time a Summer Session student, who apparently realized that he was not likely to get anything else worth while to take home from the University, stole the top of the dial. But perhaps the dial is just as well off without it, or as well as well out of the world as out of date, and if the University should take a notion to turn its clocks ahead, he awful the dial would feel plodding along apparently an hour behind time.
The sun dial was erected by the class of 1899. Mrs. A. T. Walker, then Bessie Stone, was one of the class members who selected it as a fitting memorial to the class.
To Reach Three Thousand Mark
"Over three thousand for next year," is the slogan of Registrar Foster, "I do not expect more than the normal increase of about one hundred and fifty for next year unless we have unusually good crops or something else happens to enrich the state. We will get nearly nine thousand ninety-fifty-nine last year, without doubt, reach the mark this year, and as usual we will get our share."

Summer Sessionists Have Defeated Every Team in the League
The Knights and Ladies of Security team was unable to stop the *speedy Summer Session team at* Woodland Park Friday night. The game was played on June 13th, each timing, with the count six to nothing, favoring the Summer Session team.
R. Uhrlauk pitching for the Summer Sessionists, was never in danger, only one clean hit being made off his delivery, struck out seven and did not issue a single pass. Little of the K. and L. of S. team was less fortunate. Loose fielding on the part of his teammates, clever base running by the Summer Sessionists, combined with their timely hitting, accounts for the six runs. Wedell's hitting featured the game.
The Summer Session team has defeated every team in the league now and starts on the second series tonight when it meets the Y. M, C. A. at Woodland. The team is playing great ball and deserve much better support than the students are giving it. The games are free and it will be well worth one's time to journey out to Woodland tonight.
The Y. M. C. A. defeated Haskell on the Haskell field Friday, eight to two. The standing of the teams now is: W. John Doi

Nearly five hundred teachers pursued courses through correspondence with the University of Kansas during the past year. Some of these are continuing this work through the summer.
By this means, credits may be secured towards the Bachelors' degrees and the University Teachers' Diploma. Many teachers find in these courses an opportunity to review and broaden their knowledge of subjects they are teaching.
Several students of the summer session are now arranging their correspondence study courses for next year. Some will secure additional credits during the remainder of the vacation. If you are planning on taking correspondence work this summer or next year, delay may be avoided by selecting your courses and making definite arrangements before leaving the University. A fee of $10.00 entitles residents of Kansas to correspondence instruction for a period of twelve months. Courses are offered in the following subjects:
Accounting
Advertising
Astronomy
Botany
Chemistry
Economics
Education

Have you seen the exact picture of Abraham Lincoln that the street light and roots of a tree make at Tennessee and Tenth Streets? Some evening when it is too warm to study in your room, it will be well worth your time to wander down Tennessee and see this freak of nature that so clearly portrays the features of our most famous president.
