Summer enrollment to be June 10 and 11
Registration and enrollment for the KU summer session will be Friday and Saturday, June 10 and 11. Summer school classes begin Monday, June 13.
An enrollment of about 5,200 is expected for the summer session, said George B. Smith, vice-chancellor of institutional planning and director of the KU summer session.
SMITH SAID that about 2,000 of this number will be graduate students. He said that during the regular academic year only one-fifth of the student body is composed of graduate students. This number jumps to about one-half during the summer sessions, he said.
Information about the summer session has been sent to all graduating high school seniors who have enrolled at KU.
Summer school provides an opportunity for freshmen to get an early start on college and also provides an opportunity for the typical undergraduate to accelerate his regular four-year program, Smith said. Enrichment courses outside a student's major area are also popular in the summer, he said.
AN ORIENTATION session for all new undergraduate students attending the summer session will be held Thursday, June 9.
About 18,500 persons are expected on campus between Commencement, June 6, and the beginning of the fall semester. This number includes summer school students, Midwestern Music and Art Camp participants, KU previewers and those enrolled in

the KU Extension workshops and meetings.
Smith pointed out that most of the summer school classes will be held in air-conditioned buildings except for a few specialized classes. Enrollees will be able to live in air-conditioned residence halls if they desire.
McCollum Hall will be used as a coeducational dormitory. The double wing will house men students and the remaining wing will be occupied by women.

Clothing boxes at men's halls
Red and black starred boxes for used clothing have been placed in the eight men's residence halls by the American Friends Service Committee.
For the past five years the clothing drive has been conducted in both men's and women's dormitories, said Anne H. T. Moore, chairman of the drive. However, the need for clothes is centered this year on men's clothing.
The Quaker group will send the clothes to people in Algeria, Jordan and the Congo. The final collection will be June 4.
Home of education
Members of the Oread Friends Meeting will collect, sort and pack the clothes for the service committee which will handle the distribution.
Bailey Hall was formally dedicated as the School of Education in the fall of 1956 during a two-day conference of state educators. The hall was built from a $55,000 legislative appropriation and remodeled to house the School of Education at 12 times the original cost of construction but at a fraction of the cost of a new building of the same kind.
