Miss Emma J. Woerner, acting dean
of women at the summer school expressed, herself as being very pleased with the
that the wom
en students have given her, and the
attitude which they have taken in enforcing and abiding by the rules set
aside for residents of the three dormitories.
The spirit of
friendliness and good will among a group
of women students ranging in ages
from 17 to SO, is indeed a happy combination when taking into consideration the different interests of the various teachers gathered here for concentrated work for a brief period of

Student Loan Fund which was started
several weeks ago has been subscribed
to the total of $170,000. Many counties, alumni clubs and cities have not
as yet been heard from, and the drive
in Oklahoma, California and Pennsylvania is incomplete.
Prof. W. S. Webb, chairman of the
Student Loan Fund is making an effort
to reach scattered alumni thru mail
and have them subscribe on
basis, which means $125. It is hoped
that this method will prove beneficial
in bringing in thousands of dollars as
many alumni have made no response
so far.
A drive will be started in September among freshmen and new students for an average of $25 each. One
gift of $14,000 is hanging on the University's acceptance of conditions. Information of this will be announced
later.
The various counties that have been
heard from in regard to amount raised are as follows: Barren $375; Bell,
$3,310; Carroll, $310; Christian, $75;

A Little Theatre is being built on
Winslow street on University property to replace a building formerly used
as a negro church. The theatre is being put up under the supervision of
the Strollers Dramatic Club, of the
University, financed by townspeople
interested in dramatic advancement.
All .work in construction of this building is being done by five university
students: Dan Morse, Henry Harper,
Sam Shouse, Cornelius Anderson and
Frank McVey, Jr.
The Little Theatre movement was
recently established in the various cities and communities throughout the
United States tor the advancement of
dramatic art. Prof. Carol Sax, head
of the art department will be director
and he is now in New York gathering,
scenery and making plans in the, interest of the Little Theatre. Mr. Sax
was .formally director of the Vagabond
Theatre in New York city and is thoroughly familiar with the technique oi
stage and play management.
The building when completed will
have a seating capacity of 200 and' will
have the largest stage of any Little
Theatre in the country. All coloring
and decorations will be vivid and futuristic, following as nearly as possible
Gypsie colors and decorations. The
house lights will be wall brackets, installed by students of the College of
Engineering and operated in an asbestos covered room beneath the stage
and operated by Henry Harper. The
