MANY TRIPS ARE PLANNED
Summer Students to Visit Placed of Educational Interest

Summer session students will have the opportunity to make excursions, under the direction of capable guides, to places of educational interest in and near Iowa City.
Among the trips planned are the following:  to Amana, an excursion of especial interest to social, industrial and historical classes; Homestead woods, where botanists may find excellent specimens; and the Quaker Oats factory at Cedar Rapids, one of the largest cereal factories in the world, which will be open for inspection early in July.
Geological phenomena will be sought on the west side of the Iowa river and at the old state quarry near North Liberty, from which the rock of the Old Capitol was taken.
Other trips are botanical excursions to Midriver and Coufal Woods, where the bluffs will be examined; a tour of the principal University buildings; and a visit to the zoological museums, where the students may see something of modern methods of museum making.
A visit will also be made to Oakdale, the state sanitorium for the treatment of tuberculosis.

SUMMER SESSION ENLARGES COURSES
Special Training Offered in Education, Agriculture, Museum Work and Social Service
Since its inauguration in 1900, the summer session of the University has expanded greatly in both attendance and in the range of courses offered.
The first summer session opened with a registration of 100 students.  Languages, history, pedagogy and other standard subjects were included in the curriculum.
Courses were gradually added and more and more summer students registered, until in 1915 a second term of four weeks was added to the regular six weeks session.
Last year, attendance records showed that 1,042 men and women had attended the 1918 summer terms, an increase of more than ten-fold over the first year.
This summer courses of instruction will be increased to meet the needs of men and women of any class, graduate students and members of various professions and avocations.  Among the special courses offered will be school administration, agriculture, child welfare, journalism, museum work training, a scoutmasters' school, and similar subjects.  A second term of five weeks will supplement the first sessions of six weeks.
From the very outset until now, high school teachers, principals and superintendents have found the special work valuable.  Within the past five or six years, between 35 and 40 per cent of the summer registration has been in the graduate college, and a large proportion of the students have been working for advanced degrees.
Increasingly, University students of the various classes are finding it advisable to attend the summer session in order to receive their degrees the sooner.

SOPHS FAVOR FEE
The sophomore class of liberal arts at their meeting on Thursday voted unanimously to be in favor of the fee at registration time to cover cost of University activities.  They do not endorse the plan however of compulsory physical training.

INFLUENZA ACCOUNTS WILL BE ADJUSTED
Administration Will Deal With Cases Individually─Girls Claim Bills Too High
Women who desire adjustments made of their bills for hospital service at Currier hall during the influenza epidemic are requested to present their cases to W. H. Bates, secretary of the university and individuals will be dealt with separately.  This decision has been reached because of dissatisfaction among many of the seventy women involved.
The case is an old one.  Several months ago the women who had received treatment at the hall which they thought to be free were sent bills amounting from a few dollars to eighty or ninety.  The women objected, and a petition signed by almost seventy women was circulated and finally presented to the president and the finance committee.  That matter was taken up and some adjustments made; it seems not to be settled to the satisfaction of the women concerned.
In presenting their case to the administration the women claimed that they had been assured that no charges would be made and for that reason made no complaint of careless treatment.  Some of the girls, they stated, had been taken from their homes without physical examination.  Doctors and nurses who had been sent to other women were not allowed to enter the building.  The food received was in many cases very poor and medicine was not administered properly.  The petitioners did not object to paying a "fair amount" but they objected to the rate of $2.50 a day as exorbitant.
The administration stated that the person who gave the information that no fee would be charged did so without such instruction, that the best care was given the girls which could be provided at such a crisis, and that the University had gone to great expense in providing such quarters.

THE ENGINEERS STAND PAT
Partisanship in election Calls for Recourts and Coin-flipping
Standpatters to the finish, the engineers elected the new officers of the A. S. of A. S. only after one of the closest races on record.  Martin Flentje was the choice for the presidency by a good margin, but not until Hanapel flipped the coin was the deadlock for the treasurer broken.
Flentje and Jatzer were the two leading candidates for president to succeed Alvin Hanapel, who graduates soon.  Of the hundred votes cast the former polled 64 against 36 by Patzer.
Excitement centered around the selection for the other offices, especially for the treasurer.  When the final vote was cast the count stood 37 each for both Thompson and Luscombe and their constituents declared their intention of voting solid.
Hanapel stepped in as mediator and suggested that a coin be flipped.  It sailed through the air and Thompson's judgment did not err.
A majority of one vote decided both the elections for vice president and secretary.  Krehbiel won over Murphy for the first position and Roberts over Stanton for the last.  The minority objected and demanded a recount but the motion was lost.
The men who go out of office at the end of the year are Alvin Hanapel, president, Raymond Justin, vice-president, Don Curtis, secretary, and Ira Stanton, treasurer.

Florence Lichty has accepted a position as teacher of English in the New Hampton high school.

CORRESPONDENCE COURSES
New Subjects Are Added to Summer Program for Extension Division
The Extension Division is sending to every student a special bulletin containing information regarding summer correspondence courses, about which many inquiries have been made during the last week.
Special effort has been made to enlarge this phase of extension work because of unusual interest and many new courses have been added for this summer in geology, chemistry, history, American literature, and one English course for those needing extra credit in freshman English.
Valuable courses are offered for those intending to teach or to go into business.  For students requiring more credit to become regular class members, this plan will prove valuable.
The bulletin explains all details of arrangement of work, credits received and fees exacted.

ELEMENTARY ITALIAN WILL BE REINSTALLED
Elementary Italian which, on account of pressure of other work, was omitted from the course of study last year, will be taught in the University again next year by Prof. C. F. Young.
Courses in second year French and Spanish particularly for students in commerce will be offered for the first time next year.  Dr. C. E. Ward is to be instructor in French.  A new Spanish instructor will have charge of the Spanish classes.
Another new course to be added is an advanced course in French conversation which will be under the direction of Prof. J. A. Wernli.
