Summer vacation was short for the students who attended the 1968 summer session at KU. No sooner was 1968 Commencement over than 6,276 students returned to the campus. Of these, 2,565 were graduate students. Foreign students from Japan, Taiwan, Iran, Mexico, Spain and Saudi Arabia constituted a large percentage of the enrollment. All summer school students stayed in Oliver Hall, Naismith Hall or apartments. Summer school is becoming more popular with BELOW.

Summer previewers discuss t heir future as college stu- dents at one of the three-clay Preview sessions. An insight into KU ' s academic and social life was given to 2,313 new students during nine summer KU Preview sessions. The three-day sessions, supervised by Max Fuller, director of admissions, acquainted freshmen with the scope of educational opportunity as well as permitting those students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to meet with advisers and to tentatively schedule classes. Representatives from the Dean of Men ' s and Dean of Women ' s staffs, departmental a dvisers and upper- class counselors came to previewers ' dorms to discuss KU ' s traditions, answer questions and tell about cur- riculum and campus activities. Summer Preview sessions, an established 14-year tradition of KU, provide new students with a glimpse of KU ' s computerized mechanization designed to in- crease efficiency. Previewers were able to take place- ment examinations and receive results from KU ' s Guidance and Testing Bureau, as well as to complete physical examinations at Watkins Hospital. New students received their KU-ID cards and were able to purchase football tickets. A banquet and dance gave them a taste of social life at KU. In the brief three-day introduction to KU, students were given the opportunity to orient themselves to campus routes and facilities, and to the Lawrence community—thus easing their transition into college life when they returned in the fall. —Linda Legg
