you tomorrow.

UNIVERSITY TO GO RIGHT ON
Big State Institution Starts Summer Session Day Followings Coma majority of them have put in a hard year tenaching. For them the session
As usual at Carroll's
The Summer Session of the University begins on June 10, the day after commencement, and continues through nine weeks, closing August 11. Anywhere but in Lawrence, the very thought would give one heat prostration, but the breezes never die on Mt. Orcad, and outside of the mountains and the sea shore, a pleasanter summer resort could not be imagined. Every year sees an increase in temperatures just common repairs to this summer school to combine study and vacation on the campus.
This year 136 courses in twenty nine departments are offered, including additional courses in Spanish provided for by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and new work in physical education, bacteriology, and anatomy. The 'teaching force compares sixteen man-made institutions besides the University Dean Arvin Olin, head of the Schoo of Education, is director of the session.
Summer school draws its enrollment from teachers who are working for state certificates, meeting additional requirements of their work, or plilling up hours toward a degree; from students who wish to shorten their four years to three, to lighten their winter study, to make up entrance deficiencies, or to work off conditions; finally from men and women who want to take advantage of opportunities to get into different lines of work, physical education, for instance, or some of the professions. Five or six hundred come every year, enroll in enough work to keep them comfortably busy without entailing excessive study in the heated part of the day, and enjoy themselves in various ways.
Most classes are scheduled for the early morning hours, seven-thirty or eight o'clock, while it is delightfully cool, and the necessary studying can be strenu out over the rest of the day if desired. The library is always pleasant, particularly the reading rooms that are half under ground, and many students take their books and cushions out under the trees on the campus, where there is always a bench under the tree, and a little amusement park where the band plays and free moving pictures are shown once or twice a week furnish recreation and keep the summer student from becoming too much of a grind. This precaution is needed, for the folks who come to school in June and July are very much earnest, else they wouldn't come, and
Those who have attended before will know what it means when they hear that the Coburn Players will be back. Their outdoor performances of Shakespearean and classical dramas are something to look forward to and to remember with pleasure. This year Dr. Henry Curtis, founder of the national movement for playgrounds and organized play, will give an address, and other special events will take place from time to time. Requests for bulletins and information have begun to pour in, and the regular enrollment of at least six hundred is expected.
Blair Hackney, manager of the 1915 Jayhawker, has left the senior cuts on the table in the Annual office in Green Hall. The office is open all day and students may take their cuts if they choose. Hackney says.

Lincoln Phifer, of Girard, Gets Out Book About Jay-hawker Life
PREPARATION STARTS FOR THE "FINALS"
Just in time to catch the gift-buyers for high school; and college commencements, Lincoln Phifer, of Girard, has brought out a new and distinctively Kansas book entitled "Pac Dramas of Kansas." The mere fact that Mr. Phifer lives in Girard does not in any way connect his little book with the Append to Rason—yet there is a similarity. "The Drama of Kansas" is a departure from ordinary books, and supports the author's theory that poetry is not mere word juggling and the tinkling of verbal cymbals; but that all people are poets need only simple expressions as they can understand and see through to the vision behind it to enable them to develop the gift that is next to religion in dignity and comfort.
About Jayhawker State
Kansas—that is the topic of the book. It is written in blank verse and presents the story of the Jayhawk state from the days of Coronado to the present time. The periods are divided into "dramas"—the story of the trails of the early explorers, the story of the buffalo, of the border warfare, of the occupancy the drama of the Indian, and of countless other things and movements—things stirring enough to be entitled to the name "drama" not told in strictly drama form.
The University of Kansas figures quite prominently in the book, and references to it are found running through the entire story. For this reason, if for none other, the book should appeal to K. U. students. At the close of the volume are several short poems on various University subjects, "That Letter From Home" and "The Kansas Thanksgiving Hymn" being particularly full of the spirit of Mount Oread.
University Prominent
A Different Style
"This book is in a style so different from the conventional," writes Mr. Phifer in his preface, "that it will be judged as either foolish or revolutionary, depending on how much imagination the reader may possess; but Kansans, as I show in the book, have always had large visions, and I do not hesitate to make my appeal to them." There is a note in the book, "I believe that the tyranny of the New York editor—but whether Mr. Phifer has a personal grievance against any of them would be difficult to determine. That he descent the influence of Eastern literary circles is self-evident.
Selecting Printer
Mr. Phifer has not been so fortunate in selecting a printer and binder for his book as he has in choosing his material and converting it into blank verse. It is too bad that the book is rather poorly printed on an inferior quality of paper; and that the cover design is so poorly executed as to resemble a book cover of fifty years ago. There are but two illustrations in the book; one a pen drawing of a horse, another a portrait of the author. The fact that the book is poorly bound, however, or that it is insufficiently illustrated, should not keep its message from reaching the hearts of all true Kansans. Copies of the publication may be secured from Mr. Phifer, by mailing a dollar bill to him at Girard, Kansas.
THE JAYHAWKERS
It was a boy's crusade as pictureque
Az that once sought old Jeru-
sus.
That fixed on. Kansas pseudonym-
Javhawker.
A pioneering party, all of youths.
A pioneering party, all of youths,
Left Illinois in days of the gold fever,
And pushed toward California, the
golden.
and pushed toward California, the golden.
Calling themselves "Jayhawkers of '49."
They entered for the first time for white men
The hardships they endured are past belief.
Into Death's Valley, and but few es. caped.
Their hardihood was such that Kansas caught
And laid foundation for a menta-
state
That towers high, the University
Adopted as its characteristic yell:
"Rock Chalk,
Jay Hawk,
K. U."
Jayhawker was a cry that rang
throughout.
The nation during stress of civil war.
And when the war with Spain was at its
height.
And and betrepid Kansan led the flight
That endured when Amillo Aguinaldo
Fell into Kansas hands in th' Philippe
pines.
Kansans swam over a swift forest
stream
And fixed a rope by which the follow-
ing troops
Might fiery over safely; then, al
naked.
Made mud balls, charging on the
Philippines.
Smashing their faces with the muo
and crying:
"Rock Chalk,
Jay Hawk,
K. U."
It was a battle cry ne'eer heard before
It was a new attack with nove
weapons.
And ere the troops could land the
natives fled.
Beat by
cry
And leaving men recountment as
spoil.
The Kansas yell had rung around the
world.
The spirit of it. When her pioneers,
Made up of hardy youths who sought
their own way.
To every Kansan, was the word, Jay,
hawker.
The name that afterward attached it self
When Kansas set herself to found great schools.
Arose to fight the battle of the free And keep out slavery, the name they chose.

FISCHER'S SHOES ARE GOOD SHOES
E bert Hubbard says about Footwear
Hope, courage, animation, ambition are mirrored in footwear.
"YOUR feet feature the facts about you; your shoes are a tell-tale. Spiritless, dejected, whipped-out men advertise to the world their mental condition by their shoes.
Americans are the best shod people on earth. Our consumption of shoes is two hundred and seventy million pairs a year—three pairs to a person. Most of us have different shoes for different occasions. It is better for our feet, and better for our heads, as it lifts our self respect. When you change your shoes you change your mind."
That's why it pays to be particular in the matter of selection. That's why it profits one to follow our shoe advertising. For it is advertising which is responsible for the present high standard of footwear we sell.
And its power for good is equally apparent—for shoe knowledge of Fischer's Shoes means foot comfort, on which hinges peace of mind and body.
