THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
MOUNT OREAD IS COOL
Balmy Breezes Temper Rays of Summer Sun—Why go to the Mountains?
Summer Session will be a fifty-fifty combination of study and recreation according to the plans made for the season, or the plan for the season. The biggest entertainment during the ten weeks will be given by the ever-popular Coburn Players. They will give a series of meetings, mayies or doors if the weather permits.
That there is no cooler place in Kansas than the breezy heights of Mount Oreadd is the testimony of the many people who habit. The heavy walls of the buildings, the abundant shade on the campus and the perpetual breeze makes the hill one of the most suitable in the state for intellectual work.
The Extension Division has provided without cost to the students frequent entertainment with motion pictures, which will be shown, part of which will demonstrate the educational value of motion pictures. Most of the pictures, however, are to afford an opportunity to observe those attending the Summer Session.

Robinson Gymnasium is to keep open in order that such sports as tennis can be played under the protection of the roof. The swimming facility features a feature of the Gym, will be ready for use at all hours of the day.
The Kaw river affords a fine boating course, and McCook field furnishes excellent grounds for baseball, tennis and other summer sports. There are five tennis on McCook field and five more yards below the Gymnasium.
TENNIS COURTS READY
Students May Get Permits At Registrar's Office
Those who enjoy swinging the tennis racket during the cooler hours of the day or keeping the fish company during the warm afternoons, will find the courts and lake in tip-top shape this week. Owing to previous plans not working out, the arrangements for guards at Potter's Lake and equipment for the courts south of the Gymnasium were not made until today.
Students enrolled in the Summer Session may secure a card at the Registrar's office upon presentation of receipt for fees, which will entitle them to a season's use of the lake and tennis courts. People living in town may obtain the same privilege by paying one dollar.
The theoretical side of physical education is being offered in fourteen courses this summer. The practical coaching which was taught last summer will alternate with the present training until the attendance permits the maintenance of the two highly salaried men. Hygiene, swimming, folk dances, gym work, calcitons and aesthetic dancing will be given no credit but many students have attained a good grade. A daily recreation hour at 7 p.m. will be held on the campus for all student evenings, for the double purpose of making mutual acquaintances and affording mild physical activities.
The games and sports will be of the simplest nature, consisting of volley ball, long ball and other familiar games. Students will be organized into teams that there may be competition and increase in the interest. The women section in charge of Dr. Alice Gorman will perform light exercises which will be followed by folk dances for both men and women or by a sing. Pienics and suppers to promote sociability will often precede the recreation hour.
Gave Talk on City Betterment C. H. Tailor, secretary of the Municipal Reference Bureau, spoke at the young people's meeting Sunday night at the Baptist church, on the next steps in city betterment.

Strike Ties up Text Books The Chicago express strike is having its effect on Summer School students. The book stores did not order their texts until the last possible moment, expecting to get them here for the opening day, Thursday. But the express drivers refused to take the packages from the publishing house and consequently the books had to be shipped by freight and students in several courses are without texts.

FACULTY MEN HELPED K, C, ALUMNI CELEBRATE
A dozen or more of the faculty members went to Kansas City last Thursday to attend the first annual Field Day of the Kansas City alumni.
The old grads had a hilarious time. A baseball game furnished much amusement for those who were interested in this great national sport, and they played a lot with their fathers had a chance to show their skill on the golf links. Besides these events, a field meet was held in which many amusing incidents occurred.
According to Registrar G. O. Foster, who was one of the pichnickers, the affair was such a big success that other similar events are now being planned which will take place during the summer months.

Another Get-together Sing Wednesday Evening
SONG-FEST WAS A SUCCESS
The first real get-together and get-nequanted meeting of Summer Sessionists was held on the steps of the Museum Friday evening. Dean Harold Eitel of the School of Communication announced a commemorative Singfest and a crowd of 95 responded.
Songs that everybody knows were alternated with a number of songs dear to old K. U. Printed slips enabled all to participate in every num-
ber of the Crimson and the Blues followed by Rock Calls, ended the program.
There was a wide range of voices and particularly good tenors. Although the sopranos were in the majority, the deep bass voice of Dean Butler and others made a good showing.
Chancellor Frank Strong was one of the most enthusiastic members at the meeting. Mr. U. S. G. Plank, a law professor at the Lawrence was also present.
That the evening was a success is proved by the fact that the crowd voted unanimously to have another sing next Wednesday. Dan Beutler urges everyone to be at the steps of the Museum at 7:45 o'clock.
The trunk was all packed. Indeed the transfer wagon was backing up to the door. A whole week of goodies gifted him by his ma-mon. Then he changed his mind.

Instead Davis is working on the Journal-World as a chronicler of events of this great city of ours. The goodbyes will have to be re-said. The expressman is out two bats. But an art stude has a job. Let us all rejoice.
No, Gwendolyn, this isn't the introduction to a new Robert W. Chambers novel. Instead it is merely a love story, with no real Davis, prominent citizen of Downs, and a K. U. sophomore, did not return home Saturday morning.
A trip to Virginia, and a summer's vacation near the historic Cumberland Gap is the good fortune of Katharine Fulkerson, a freshman in the College the past year. Her mother accompanies her.
No Book Exchange for S. S.
The University Book Exchange will not be open for Summer Students owing to the small number of texts in subjects offered in the summer school, handed in by regular students at the close of the winter term. Students desiring to dispose of their books may leave them at Prof. W. H. Johnson's office, 113 Fraser, where they will be kept until the exchange opens for the fall term.

And the clock runs! Furthermore it keeps accurate time. Surely it must be out of order. But if it is really a clock and not a dummy, such action is not freakish. The assumption that it was not really a clock is wrong for we have discovered that it humbly tells the time of day.
