COMMITTEE PLEASED
Crowd Jams Way Into Grant
Hall; Too Small to Care
For AIL
Next Entertainment Set for
July 11; Orchettra Will
Be Hired.
Between 400 and 500 summer
emtoa ttudenta played games, rot
acquainted, and danced at the All
Summer-School mixer Friday
Bight la Grant Memorial hall. The
entertainment was the second of
1U sort ever given under univer
sity auspices for all summer
school students.
A Dumber of group games were
played until 10 o'clock when they
gave way to dancing. Until this
time only the east half of the wom
en' gymnasium was opened and
the crowd packed the room. At the
beginning of the dance the west
part of the gymnasium was opened
and music was furnished In both
places.
Because the party was free to all
students, the faculty committee in
charge of arrangements had no
funds to hire an orchestra. The
phonograph which was used at
first could not be beard above the
shuffle on the floor so volunteer
piano players were called for. Sev
eral girls responded and played in
relays until shortly after 11 o'clock
when the crowd dispersed.
To Hire Orchestra.
The phonograph was moved into
the west part of the gymnasium
where it was used by a smaller
portion of the students attending
the mixer.
A charge of 10 or 15 cents prob
ably will be made at ensuing mix
ers to defray expense of hiring an
orchestra, according to E. W.
Lantz, chairman of the faculty
committee.
When It became apparent that
music arrangements at the Friday
night mixer were inadequate, Miss
Frances Ash who took active
charge of the entertainment, call
ed the group together to find out
If all would be willing to pay 10
or 15 cents for an orchestra for
following dances. Acclamation was
practically unanimous.

buving as practiced is unlustiii
able; advertising as conducted to
day is more beneficial than harm
