Other forms of recreation—swimming, tennis, even golf—are being planned for. So, it really begins to look as though we will have "a summer school that is different." That's what the announcement stated. The College is, as has been announced already, restoring the second term to the summer school. Th.it is, the summer school will run three months this year, instead of six weeks. Some thirty members of the College faculty will teach in one or both summer terms. In addition to these teachers, a liuni- bei of other educators will be engaged. President Hunter announces that already the following have been engaged: Professor T. E. Browne, Head of Vocational Education Department, State College, Raleigh; Dr. IS. W. Wells, Head of Botany Department, State College; Dr. Russell S.

Gets Rare Specimen Plant (By Associated Collegiate Press) PHILADELPHIA.—(ACP) — To the scientific collections of the University of Pennsylvania has been added one of the few remaining duplicate specimens of dried plants propagated by Grcgor .Mendel while, he was determining the laws of inheritance which .now bear his name. The gift has come from the monastery of the Augustinian Fathers in Brno, Czechoslovakia, where Mendel carried on his researches. It was ],resented to the University at the Mid-year convocation last The specinitn, a pea plant, well preserved despite its 70 years, is about eight inches high and includes the stem with several leaves and flowers. It is mounted under glass inscribed with the seal of the monastery. Accompanying it is one of Mendel's rare autographs, appearing on a receipt for money paid to the monastery while he was serving as abbot there in 1869.

MISS BENTON You hardly ever see her—maybe a flash of skirt as she flies around the building to another meeting. Or maybe diving suddenly into the book-store for her mail and as suddenly out again. Busy all the time. So when I walked into her room for a little chat, 1 expected her to be running around so fast that the whirlwind would probably blow me out the door. 1 met instead a sudden calm. And in the middle of it was Miss lien- ton, comfortable in bed reading a magazine, with a radio playing on one side, and a heater humming its accompaniment on the other. This, she confessed, is her favorite hobby. She reads practically till ihe popular magazines and then donates them to the library. As for her history Miss Benton was born in West Plains, Missouri. She went to Southwest Slate Teacher's College in Springfield, Missouri, for three years, and got her I'-. S. degree and Master's dc- gree at Peabody. Before coming here in 1922, she had taught Mathematics and Latin in high school. In fact, Mathematics was Miss Benton's major until she became so interested in her hobby, physical education, that she adopted it a profession.

Indignant outbursts followed, and the name was changed to the "Ladies Auxiliary of Future Veterans." Loudest in denunciation, of course, were the other veterans' groups. "Had the students confined their insulting remarks to the veterans, we would have laughed it off," said Joe E.
