Summer school students Mix studies, recreation Summer school at lowa was a mixture ot intormality and hard work, in an atmosphere unlike that found trom September to June.

But nobody wants to get up tor a 7:30 class. But the struggle continues, despite the efforts ot both taculty and students to make registration a bit more livable.
