British Bandmaster Waves Camp Baton
BY DON ASHTON
Kansan Staff Writer
The British have come to M. Oread, Armed with a conductor's baton and leading troupes of young musicians, F. Vivian Dum has revisited the colonies as guest conductor of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp this week.
Dunn has been a guest conductor at the Camp every year since 1967, except for 1971.
"I almost think of this as my second home," Dunn said from his outpost on the 12th floor of McCollum Hall.
"I AM HERE by the invitation of Mr Russell L. Wiley, for whom I have the greatest admiration. He has created a great cannon." Dunn said.
Wiley met Dunn in 1965. As principal director of music for Britain's Royal Marines, Dunn was leading his band in a performance in Kansas City.
In 1969, Dum was elected an honorary member of the American Bandmasters Association, only the third Englishman to be so honored. He is the only living Brit-
HE WAS KNIGHTED in 1869 for distinguished service to British music by Queen Elizabeth II. He has directed music for the Royal Family since he was
"I shall be conducting programs of British music at KU," Dunn said. "I had a very happy Fourth of July, but the British are still here."
When not visiting American universities, conduct symphony orchestras, judging competition festivals or working for the Malcolm Sergent Cancer Fund for cancer awareness and arranges music at his home at Hayward's Heath, Sussex, near London.
"TVE COME TO consider myself a Jonah," Dunn said. "Wherever I've been, we've greeted me we greeted him, our survival at RU KR dreamed up. Everyone says I have brought my English weather with me, but we don't get it this rough in En-
Kansas weather may seem rough for Dum, but he hampened his enthusiasm after the Grizzlies' Game 1 victory.
"I think these young musicians here, both as instrumentals and as people, are just wonderful," he said. "They are well-mannered and enthusiastic."
The music campers tune in to the pitch of Dunn's British voice, too.
"When I first came to Kansas, Dr. Wiley came in at the end of a lecture and said the campers told I sounded just like the Beaules," Dunn recalled.

New Faculty Club Site Proposed

The 540 members of the University of Kansas' recently-formed Faculty Club will present news as well as some bad news concerning the progress of the planned Faculty Club facility, according to Robert Adams, the master of mathematics, treasurer of the club.
The status report abandons earlier plans to renovate the former Phi Kappa Tau fraternity house into a Faculty Club facility and suggests a new site for consideration.
"The investment of approximately $220,000 to recoupition and remodel the 47-year-old building as a Faculty Club facility, providing for adequate parking and vehicular traffic flow and the walking distance from the campus to the site (on east street)" are given as the primary remediation. The endowment supersideration of the Phi Kappa Tau house, currently owned by the Endowment Association.
AT A JUNE 24 meeting between executive members of the Faculty Club and the Endowment Association, the Enrollment Center, and the Faculty Club consider an alternate site for

Air Conditioners Stolen
Three offices in Oread Hall were burglarized sometime last week resulting in the loss of an estimated $280 from security, according to KR Traffic and Security.
Air conditioners were removed from the offices of Charles Nicholas, John Leibman and Louis Talman, all assistant instructors of mathematics.
Although the offices were reportedly locked, there were no signs of forced entry. Also reported stolen were a radio and a desk lamp.
Curator Wins Post

Robert Hoffmann, curator of mammals at the Museum of Natural History, has been elected vice-president of the American Society of Mammalogists, which has 3,500 North American members.

Hoffmann is also the associate chairwoman of the organization's publication, the Journal of Mammalogy, and is chairman of the organization's committee on international affairs.
their facility. The alternate site, also owned by the Endowment Association, is on the east side of Oread between 12th and 13th streets.
If the site is determined suitable, place a bait for a facility at that location will be made.
Buildings and Grounds is in the process of preparing a topological map of the proposed site. Adams said the Faculty Club hoped the map would be finished by the end of July.
"WE are assured that we will be sufficiently far along on these new plans by the middle of September 1973, to make a decision." The letter indicates, "October this year," the letter indicates.
The Faculty Club Board of Directors still hopes a facility may be ready by late next month.
Financing for the proposed facility is indefinite.
"WEHAVE solicited the membership for gifts and donations, and have about $70,000 donations in the building fund from the present membership," Adams said. "We hope that the Endowment Association will provide the necessary additional funds."
Irvin Youngbjerg, executive secretary of the Endowment Association, said he thought any definite financing arrangements at this time would be expensive. "This cost estimate would be available until a site was chosen and plans made."
He said he was, however, very encouraged about the possibility of Endowment Association funding for the club facility.
"ONE ROLE of the Endowment Association is to provide University-related facilities and financing where state funds aren't available." Youngberg said.
Youngberg said the big reason for a Faculty Club was communication. It would allow faculty members to become fully involved with a sense of the University, be said.
Adams described the overriding purpose of the club as "giving the faculty and the community people a feeling of a stronger tie to the University."
ALTHOUGH THE CLUB is designed primarily for KU faculty, about one-third of the current membership is non-University related people. Adams said the intent was to keep this basic brazil, even though he said he is not a big fan of double trouble when a facility was available.
Community membership is open to Douglas County residents who are recommended by two active members. This group may be interested in Director's if membership grows too large.
The club's bylaws outline its membership categories. The first is KU faculty. Anyone with a rank of instructor or above and similar administrative staff and professional personnel are entitled to join the club.
GENERAL MEMBERSHIP fees include a $50 initiation fee and 70 yearly dues. The initiation fee is waved with a donation of $30 or more.
Most of the current 540 members joined during a membership drive last fall. The drive was conducted primarily to display that there was a significant amount of interest to merit a financial investment,
Adams said.
If current plans are realized, the Faculty Club when completed will house dining rooms serving luncheons, dinners and alcoholic beverages; meeting rooms with seating for students; rooms for billiards, chess and bridge; quiet reception rooms and an extensive social program.
THE FACULTY CLUB is not a new idea for KU. The University had a faculty club for approximately 12 years from the early '50s to the mid '60s, located in the building now occupied by the Endowment Association.
Adams said the old club closed for financial reasons.
Most universities of a size comparable to KU have faculty clubs, including Oklahoma, Nebraska and Wichita State University, according to Adams.
"Another example is the University of Tennessee where our new chancellor comes from. . . Mr. Dykes supports it (the Club) enthusiastically." Adams said.
Dykes Set to Speak At Alumni Dinner
Chancellor Archie Dykes next week with deliver his first alumni address at KU at a buffet dinner sponsored by the Alumni Association.
The Douglas County chapter of the Alumni Association and the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce have sold tickets for approximately half of the 400 seats allocated for the dinner, scheduled for 7 p.m. July 18 in the Kansas Union Ballroom.
Charles Haverty, president of the chapter, said, "This many ticket reservations so early is a good sign. We'll probably have a full house."

"Whenever we have a new chancellor, we have special events all over the state and the country to help him meet the alumni and students. There will be additional events, throughout the year," said Dick Wintmerte, director of the Alumni Association.
Dimens during which the Chancellor will speak have been scheduled in areas of high alumni concentration, including Washington, D.C., New York, Chicago, St. Louis, San Francisco, Omaha, Houston, Denver and Portland.

The search committee established to screen candidates for dean of the School of Business is now collecting memnitions, says Lawrence Sherr, associate professor of business and chairman of the search committee.
The committee is searching for a successor to Clifford Clark, who resigned. In the interim, Joseph Pichler is acting dean of the school.
Sherr said Tuesday the committee had received nominations from KU faculty, members of the business community, an advisory board, former faculty members and alumni.
Prospects 'Pleasing'
More National Science Foundation (NSF) grants have been awarded to the University of Kansas this summer than to any other university in the United States.
KU Tops All Universities In Number of NSF Grants
The department of sociology received the only grants in that field.
Committee Collecting B-School Nominations
Three other departments receiving NSF grants are chemistry, pharmacy and medicinal chemistry and psychology. Each of these departments has eight students who are doing research with minimal guidance from the professors directing NSF programs.
"We (the committee members) are pleased with the quality of the nominees and

He said that letters would be sent to the nominees in September asking whether they would be interested in the dean's advice, if so, requesting personal information.
According to Lewis Mennerick, assistant professor of sociology, this type program gives students a chance to teach them what they have a free hand in their education.
we are hoping to receive more nominations," Sherr said.
After the visits are completed, the School of Business Assembly will rank the canvases and the aid of this ranking the vice-chancellor and the chairs will select and negotiate the lob offer
The candidates would then visit with the Chancellor, vice-chancellors, deans and staff.
Sherl had said previously that he would have a new dean selected by July 1, 1974.
Grants were awarded on the basis of proposals submitted the year before from the Board.

Research Participation Program.
The Undergraduate Research Participation projects are designed to improve college level instruction by demonstrating that teaching effectiveness is increased when the major responsibility for learning is placed on the student.
The Undergraduate Research Participation Program extends for 12 weeks. Projects are due at that time. Participants are encouraged to continue their research
after the 12 weeks, although continued NSF funding will not be available to students.
Not only is this program beneficial to the students but "the program is a benefit to the professor in that it helps figure into the reward structure for tenure," according to R. L. Middaugh, associate professor of chemistry.
"Know what you are and act to your full potential."
