Campus Active In Summer Too
From commencement until the beginning of the academic year in the fall, as many individuals are active on the KU campus as during the fall and winter semesters.
"Many of these individuals are here for special summer programs, such as Boys' State, Girls' State, band camp, and various conferences," George B. Smith, vice cancellor and director of the summer session said in an interview this morning.
"However a large number of students are expected to come for academic work this summer," he said.
"We can expect three groups of students to attend the summer session, in addition to the special summer students involved in research, or the high school teachers who come for additional study," he continued.
"This year we have tried to organize the summer school program so that the incoming freshmen can start on a regular college program, especially in the principal courses," Dean Smith explained.
According to the 1964 Summer Session Newsletter, principal courses are being offered in almost every department. These are courses such as General Biology I, Introductory Economics 7, and English Composition and Literature.
"The three groups of students are incoming freshmen,students speeding up their academic program,and students seeking enrichment by taking additional courses.
"Planning of the summer session has been closely co-ordinated with the deans of all operational divisions of the university," Dean Smith said.
"An effort is also being made to expand the courses available to juniors and seniors.
"It is true that many of these upperclassmen attending summer school don't necessarily hurry their programs to get out of the university in three years, but to get a masters' degree in four," Dean Smith said.
"Many students take summer school courses to fill gaps that they
don't have time to fill during the year.
"For example, there is the engineering student who doesn't have time to take a five-hour language course during the academic year." Dean Smith said.
Students can explore areas of interest which they discovered during the year, but found impossible to pursue because of a tight schedule." he continued.
"Parallels between summer school and fall enrollments can be drawn." James K. Hitt, registrar, said in an interview this morning.
"Last year the summer school enrollment was 4800 credit students by the end of the acceptance period.
"This summer we can predict around 5000 students will enroll for credit, and that about 11,000 individuals will be on and off the campus during the summer," he said.
"All of the facilities available to the regular winter students will be kept operating for the summer school students.
"This includes intramurals, the swimming pool, and the Kansas Union," Dean Smith said. "The institution will be operating full blast this summer," he concluded.
"All classes except those meeting in special meeting rooms will be in air-conditioned rooms," Dean Smith said.
"There was an increase in enrollment last fall so we can predict an increase for the summer session," Mr. Hitt said.
Registration and enrollment will be June 5 and 6, and classes will begin Monday, June 8. The session will end on August 1.
The KU Summer Session begins June 4 with the orientation of all new undergraduate students.
Fees for the summer session are charged according to the number of hours in which the student is enrolled. A schedule of these fees, and course information is available in the 1964 Summer Session Newsletter, which can be obtained from the Registrar's Office, 122 Strong Hall.

Wallace, a candidate in Maryland's presidential preference primary next Tuesday, spoke before a whites-only audience of more than 1.500. He was invited to Cambridge by the Dorchester County Business and Citizens Association, an organization formed last summer to combat Negro integration demands.
Among those under arrest at the Maryland National Guard Armory in Pikesville, near Baltimore, today was Mrs. Gloria Richardson, chairman of the Cambridge Non-Violent Action Committee and acknowledged leader of the city's integrationist movement.

Wallace Cambridge Rally Scene of Demonstration
Brig. Gen. George C. Gelston, deputy Maryland Adjutant General who has been stationed in Cambridge since last summer, imposed an 11 p.m. curfew and said he would keep his troops in the city at least through today.
CAMBRIDGE, Md. — (UPI) Brick-tossing Negroes kept the Maryland Eastern shore fishing town of Cambridge on edge today, while the commander of a National Guard peace-keeping contingent arranged to meet with Negro leaders in hopes of averting a repetition of a riot last night.
GELSTON WARNED whites to bypass the Negro section of Cambridge today, describing it as a hazardous area.
The outbreaks were triggered when guardsmen in the racially-split town turned away crowds attempting to protest an appearance of Alabama segregationist Gov. George C. Wallace.
Brig. Gen. George C. Gelston planned to confer with Negro leaders in the aftermath of a wild Negro street demonstration last night that had to be curbed with tear gas.
Chancellor Wescoe Clears Up Rumors on Disiplinary Action
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe made a statement today concerning the action of the Disciplinary Committee on the case of Mike Mount, Wichita senior.
Mount left a bomb threat note in the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority house last Monday evening. Mount has been suspended from the university for the rest of the semester.
WITH FULL knowledge that the women's living group involved had received a telephoned bomb threat on the previous night, the student disciplined wrote an unmistakable bomb threat note which was noticed
Chancellor Wescoe wrote the statement in reply to the petitions, signed by students, asking the committee to reconsider its earlier decision.
The University Disciplinary Committee on Friday, May 8, received a number of petitions requesting reconsideration of a matter concerning which it had made a decision earlier in the week. These petitions were forwarded to me.
The members of the Disciplinary Committee and I recognize the sincerity and thoughtful compassion of those who signed the petitions. There has been, however, no new evidence presented.
The petition, containing about 1400 signatures, was turned over to the administration Friday. These petitions were shown to the University Disciplinary Committee at its meeting Friday.
The statement is as follows:
The facts are these and they are undisputed:
intact by two members of the group in his presence. Although the student had an opportunity to explain the origin and meaning of the note to these members when his attention was called to it, he failed to do so. This is the student's testimony. One of the two members reported the bomb threat to officers of the group who notified the police. The note, torn in half, was found by the police in an ashtray in the room where it had originally been noticed. Later, the student acknowledged that he was the author of the note.
All of these facts were presented to the Committee and it was upon these facts that a decision was made. Our procedures indicate no reconsideration of decisions, unless new, hitherto unknown, facts can be presented. Under the circumstances, I do not feel justified in asking the Committee to reconsider.
A WORD MAY appropriately be added concerning these petitions. The student in question was not "summarily dismissed" from the University. To the contrary, after careful, thoughtful deliberation, the Committee voted his suspension for the remainder of the current semester. The action was neither summary nor dismissal. The student is eligible to petition to continue his studies as early as the summer session, and he has been so informed.
It should be noted also that neither the Committee nor the University has given any prior release about this matter. Any distortion of facts, any releases, have originated elsewhere.
I know of no committee that carries a heavier responsibility than the Disciplinary Committee, a joint student-faculty committee established by the University Senate. It performs its duties and carries out its responsibilities in exemplary fashion and at the expense of much energy and many hours. Its decisions are not reached capriciously or after brief discussion. Differences of opinion arise, as they will in any deliberative body, but all decisions represent the consensus of the majority, with due regard to the individual or individuals involved, as well as the campus community.
The University is accountable for the lives and safety of more than 12,000 individuals and of the property of those individuals as well as of the state of Kansas. The University cannot and it will not tolerate any threats or action directed against life, safety, or property. The University expects, indeed demands, that each of its members accepts the individual responsibility to protect the University's name, its property, and the welfare and safety of all who live and work within it.
Skies will be clearing tonight. It will become fair and warmer Wednesday, the Weather Bureau said. Low temperature tonight will be around 50 degrees. High tomorrow will be from 75 to 80 degrees.

furor, finished his speech and left Cambridge shortly after 9 p.m. Five Maryland state troopers were in the car carrying the Alabama governor and carloads of additional troops were posted in front and in back of his car.
FIVE GUARDSMEN were injured slightly in the scuffling which erupted when they attempted to drag the demonstrators away last night. Two of the demonstrators were hospitalized; one for a cut leg, the other for tear gas burns.
After the first crowd of demonstrators were dispersed without violence, about 200 regrouped and began another street demonstration, which is forbidden under militia law.
Wallace spoke at an invitation-only rally at the Cambridge Fire Arena. At the same time, Mrs. Richardson and other integration leaders, including John Lewis, head of the student non-violent coordinating committee, staged a "freedom day" counter-rally five blocks away.
More than 400 guardsmen patrolled the streets in "a show of force" to head off possible demonstrations, but to no avail. About 400 demonstrators, led by Mrs. Richardson, swarmed out of the "freedom day" rally, heading for the Fire Arena where Wallace was speaking shortly after 8:30 p.m. EDT.
THEY WERE MET by a force of 40 guardmen with bayonets bared and stopped, but only for a time. Wallace, apparently unaware of the
As a last measure, Tawes ordered the tear gas bombs fired. The acrid fumes enveloped the demonstrators who were sitting in a massed group on the ground.
Several of the Negroes shouted, "don't run, don't run," as the clouds of gas rolled over them. But within seconds demonstrators broke and ran from the scene, coughing and spitting, their eyes streaming.
Mrs. Richardson then followed the demonstrators and joined them, linking arms with two companions in the first row.
TOGETHERNESS—Richard and Marilyn Scharine do everything together, including starring in plays. The Typists and The Tigers, which they are currently rehearsing to open Thursday in the Experimental Theatre will be the third in a series of plays in which they have appeared.
Experimental Theatre Features Drama Team
A KU graduate student and his wife are being featured in an Experimental Theatre production that originally starred Eli Wallach and his wife.
