Summer Campus Still Busy Activity, School Continue On
Bv Mary Dunlap
A regular-term student returning to the campus during the middle of the summer will find that KU is nearly as busy as during the fall and spring semesters.
As nearly 4,500 summer school students attend daily classes, most of the bureaus and services available during the regular fall and spring terms will remain open during regular hours.
Postal service, for example, will continue as usual. Murray Smith, of the Strong Hall basement outlet, said that the post office will be open each day from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The outlet offers full mailing and postal

services. He added that the same carriers will work during the summer. Saturday hours will continue to be from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m.
THE KU NEWS BUREAU will be open to aid students as usual, Jan Geuthier, a member of the bureau's staff, said. The Bureau will be open regular hours, just as during the fall and spring—8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, and from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Saturdays.
Students who need to get the latest copy of John Steinbeck's latest novel, slide rules, typing paper or other supplies, will find the Union Bookstore open for their convenience, observing summer hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Dr. Ralph Canuteson, director of health services, said that Watkins Memorial Hospital will remain open all summer, and that personnel will be on duty the entire summer.
"Our hospital census, meaning the number of patients in the hospital per day, is between five and ten as contrasted to the 20-30 a day in the winter," he said.
He said that the hospital usually handles all the students who are attending the Summer KU Previews. "For two days each week," he continued, "we will be very busy."
Dr. Canutelson said that with the numerous groups that visit the campus each summer, including Girls and Boys State, band camps and music camps, and the many student groups that visit the campus, the staff usually has a busy summer.
NUMEROUS convention groups and workshops will also meet here, and the hospital extends all services
to them. "We have an agreement with the Extension Division to provide services for all groups sanctioned by the Extension Division, Dr. Canuteson said.
Mornings are usually the busiest at the hospital, the doctor added. The work usually slackens off in the afternoon when students are out of classes. A clinic will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. After 3 p.m., the hospital will be operated by a limited staff who will treat and care for any in-coming patients.
AT LEAST TWO NURSES will be on call for emergencies and will be at Watkins from 11 p.m. to 8 a.m.The nurses will be able to contact a doctor in the event an emergency arises.
In mid-August, the hospital will be handling at least 50 foreign students who come to the campus early to prepare for the fall semester. Meanwhile, the Preview groups will come in regularly. "We handled 2,250 Preview students last year," Dr. Canutson commented.
"Even after the regular summer school lets out," Dr. Canuteson said, "the clinic will be open."
Bert Rinkel, Scott City senior; Walter Bgoya, Ngara, Tanzania, senior and Pamela Smith, former KU student from Kansas City went on trial this morning on charges of disturbing the peace in conjunction with the civil rights sit-in in Strong Hall, March 9.
Sit-In Trial Begins
Most of this morning's activities concerned the selection of the 12-man jury, according to the office of the clerk of the district court.
One full-time nurse, a doctor, an X-ray technician and a lab technician will continue on at the hospital during the period between the middle of August and the beginning of the Orientation Week. Some of the staff members will also be busy micro-filming records and getting all other records ready for the returning students.
The clinic will be open for two hours each morning, and a small staff will be on call the remainder of the day.
FACILITIES AT THE Kansas Union will offer recreation, information, and nourishment during the summer months.
The recreation area in the basement of the Union will be open, with bowling, pool, billiards, ping-pong, and other games.
Pravin Kothari said that "the recreation department will be open at regular times until summer school is over.
"We will be open for any group that will call and let us know that they want to use the facilities," Kothari added. The area will be open each evening from 6 to 11 p.m.
The Information Center and Snack Bar will remain open all summer. Any questions concerning convention meeting places and locations of particular buildings will be available to visitors who stop at the desk just inside the main doors.
WATSON LIBRARY will be open during the day time all summer long, observing hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day through the week. On Saturdays, the time will change to 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. On Sundays, the library will be closed. The Special Collections Room will be open during the regular hours.
The administration offices will also be in operation throughout the summer.
The University continues on a year-around basis, for in addition to the 4.443 summer school students expected this summer, many summer camps and conventions will be held at KU. The summer enrollment average approximately 36 per cent of the fall enrollment, George B. Smith, vice chancellor and director of the summer session, said the total number of students and visiting groups exceeds the number of students enrolled for the fall semester.
ALTHOUGH OTHER schools, such as Penn State, have announced that they are open all year around. Vice Chancellor Smith said that the percentage of students that enroll at Penn State, for example, is only about 12 per cent of the fall enrollment.
For these reasons it is not surprising that so many services and bureaus are open to students during the summer.
Vice Chancellor Smith said that the myth that a state institution remains in little use during the summer months should be dispelled. A glimpse at KU during the summer would readily do away with this idea.
