142 To Get Degrees At Dinner September 27
LOOKING OUT OVER THE CAMPUS through windows which form a complete side of the Student Club Soda Shop, students can sit and drink their between-dass-cokes in comfort. Prices are the same as they were at the Slop Shop, but the “atmosphere” has increased greatly, according to students who have been there. The room to move around in and the convenience of getting food and drinks without waiting in a long line, were among the features most enthusiastically commented upon by early arrivers Monday.
Relish Bowl Rush Eliminated
Efficiency Seen At New Soda Shop

4,500 Cards For Enrollment Issued In Week
Approximately 4,500 registration permits, nearly 50 per cent of the expected 10,000 enrollment, had been issued up to Tuesday.
Over-the-counter distribution totalled 3,500 and mailed requests another 1,000. All mailed requests indicating preferred registration time were honored.
The first day the permits were issued, almost 1,600 students who are attending the summer session crowded the registrar’s window, according to Henry Troetschel, assistant registrar.
The permit is designed to split the registration day into ten time periods, one half hour each from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Two hundred registrants will be processed within each, half hour, which will total 2,000 a day for four days. The last day is figured at less than 2,000 since the law and adult education division students do not require permits, Mr. Troetschel said.
Regardless of the pro and con comment on Campus concerning the permit system, Mr. Troetschel emphasized that it is the only practical way to insure uninterrupted registration. He stressed the importance of coming to the registrar’s office at the time the cards indicate. No student can register before that time; there will be no alteration of this policy.
LAST DANCE TONIGHT
The last free dance for this summer session will be held at San Sebastian dormitory tonight, “Chink" Whitten, Student Club director, announced this week.
KaH Einig's hand will play from 9 to 11:30 p.m. The U-M hostesses will be on hand to introduce students to dancing partners.
Scientific efficiency plus greater comfort to the students is the keynote of the new Student Club Soda Shop which opened Monday.
The Soda Shop, which averages 20 degrees cooler than the recently demobilized Slop Shop, is strictly in keeping with the modern Student Club design. The modernity goes beyond the architecture, it includes the service and speed that between class coke drinkers require to avoid being late.
A fault that students found with the Slop Shop was the distance from the soft drink counters to the cash registers. On warm days when there was a long waitirfg line, more often than not the cokes were gone when the time to pay for them came around. This has been eliminated by the plan-
ning of the new counters and better food placement.
Neater Eating Requested
Mrs. Sylvia Orwig, manager of the Soda Shop, has only one request to make of the students: she asks that they leave used cups and napkins on the tables to be cleaned up by bus-girls—trash should not be thrown on the floor.
“It seems a shame to make such a beautiful place look sloppy when it really isn’t necessary,” she said.
During the summer semester, the shop will stay open from 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. If there is a rush of business, it will stay open to accommodate the students. The Soda Shop will also remain open during dances. In the fall, closing time will be 11:30 p.m.
Designed For Comfort
Every feature has been designed
primarily for the students. The floor space has been more than doubled, allowing people with food in their hands to pass tables without having to push in chairs. There arc ice water taps with disposable cups near the center of the room. The relish bowl rush will be done away with by the placing of containers on each table.
Even the food on the counters has been placed so that students can get at it quickly and with a minimum of waiting. Those things that require time, such as hamburgers and malteds. have extra space between the counter and the rail so that those in a hurry can pass right by and not be held up.
“In case the one cash register now in use proves too inadequate to cope with the number of customers. another will be added,” Mrs. Orwig said.
Grads To Hear George C. Estill Talk On Success
Degrees will be conferred upon 142 students at an informal dinner at the Coral Gables Country club Sept. 27.
George C. Estill, vice chairman of the University Board of Trustees, will talk to the graduates on, “Opportunity of Success.”
Mr. Estill, who is also chairman of the Building committee, will stress his recipe for attaining success, and how this can be done only in a democratic state.
Ceremonies will begin at 7:30 p.m. Each graduate may bring one guest to the dinner, which will be held just before conferring of degrees by Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, University vice president.
Nine of the 142 will receive master of education degrees; seven, master of science; and three, master of arts. This is the second time summer school graduates will have informal commencement exercises, the precedent having been s^t last term.
Each graduate must ask for invitations for himself and guest from Miss May Brunson in the dean of women’s office before 4 pjn., Thursday.

Expanded Food Technology Program Slated For University's South Campus
Hopes of expanding South Campus facilities in the near future to include teaching and student experimental work in food technology and packaging were expressed this week by Dr. Jay F. W. Pearson, University
vice president.
No plans for housing or scheduled instruction” are in order there for this semester, he said, unless overcrowding of students forces transfer of a portion of the student body to Richmond.
For the last two PEARSON years, out-of-t o w n freshmen lad been housed and received most lass instruction at South Campus. Jr.	Pearson said he hoped this
vould	not	be the case this year,
ince the area is needed by the University for expansion of numerous ypes of food experiments such as frowing. packaging, drawing and itilizing extracts, which have been :arried on there both years.
He thinks that the other three ■ampuses. Main, North, and 20th Street, should be able to accommo-late the fall student enrollment.
Fixture Shortage Delays Alterations
Alterations on the North Campus are being delayed by the lack of lighting fixtures.
Rooms 110, 111 and 115 newly occupied by engineering drawing classes, are still without their new lights. The wiring has been installed, but the fluorescent fixtures have not arrived, said Willard Hubbell. assistant professor of engineering drawing.
The lighting plan was drawn up by A. C. Bergh, lighting specialist for the Florida Power and Light Co. It follows specifications set by the Illuminating Engineering society and the National Education association. Mr. Hubbell said.
Specifications recommend minimum lighting levels of 50 foot candles for drafting room requirements. When the fixtures will arrive is uncertain. Mr. Hubbell said.
DEAN ALTER RETURNS
Dean of Men Foster E. Alter has returned from Chicago where he attended the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Leadership School. He is national scholarship commissioner for SAE.
APO Forming 2 Scout Troops For Home Boys
With the hope of aiding wayward boys to become good citizens, Alpha Phi Omega, national service fraternity, is establishing.two boy scouts troops at Kendall Boys’ home.
Aided by the University through Eugene Cohen, administrative assistant to the vice-president, A.P.O. members are now working with the Kendall authorities in making a boy scout program available to Kendall youth. Leadership training is being stressed. Hal Maun, local scout leader and student in scout activities, is in charge of the program.
The two troops, one for white and one for colored boys, will have both local and A.P.O. membership. In line with its scout program, A.P.O. will supply instructor and demonstrator teams.
San Sab Directress To Counsel 1,000 Girls At New Housing
By VIRGINIA WILSON
The job of counseling 1,000 girls living at the Main Campus housing this fall will be handled by Mrs. Lillian Slack, who has been directress of San Sebastian for the past two years.
Mrs. Slack is very enthusiastic over the new guidance program which will go into effect with the fall term. “We are using the most up-to-date methods, and our guidance service will be one of the best in the country,” she stated.
“The assistant counselors are all trained people, and there will be one resident junior counselor for approximately every 16 girls. Each girl will have a personal interview. Special cases will be referred to the Dean of Women. Miss Mary B. Merritt,” she said.
Mrs. Slack receives many phone calls requesting baby-sitters. ”We have many of these calls,” she said. “A girl may earn as much as $15 a week if she is willing to give up her evenings. Most calls come over the weekend, but we get more calls on the evening of a football game than at any other time. Everybody waftts to go to the game."
Mrs. Slack was bom in Tennessee, moved from there to Oklahoma when she was ten, and lived there
until she came here two years ago. She taught for many years in Tulsa, and received her master’s degree in guidance and personnel work.
