Debaters Go To WDAF On KC Trip

The speech and debate campers who are enrolled in the Radio-TV Commentary class went to Kansas City on Thursday, July 13.
They were taken in cars by some of the instructors rather than taking a bus. This proved to be rewarding, as one of the instructors provided his carload of campers with a guided tour of one of Kansas City's "streets of ill repute."
The first stop was at WDAF television station. There, campers were shown around and told about productions, studios, and lighting.
Later, they were shown the WDAF radio station. WDAF FM radio is controlled entirely by one big computer.
After the tours were over, the speech campers drove through downtown and looked at the shopping areas. The highlight of the trip seemed to be a stop at Winfield's.
There, Kay Flynn, Pam Davis, Kevin Kolleh, Brian Kahl, and Chris Arndt shared a Skyscraper. This was a huge strawberry sundae that he had to stand on. He remarked that they got some awfully funny looks from some of the other people there.
"At the top of the sheet, it says 'FCC Third Class Radio Operator's license Examination,' and the first question was: 'Who sets the regulations under which radio stations must function?' the f.BBI. This shows how easy it was," said Koloff.
While the other students were taking these tours, two radio-TV students, Kevin Kolodf and Marud Chalwood, took their students' tests, passed, and received their licenses.
They had to take both a written examination and an examination in actually reading modular and amplitude meters.
As to the difficulty of the test, Kołoff

Pom Pon Routines, Double Stunts Included In Cheerleaders' Practice

The International Cheerleading Foundation held a cheerleader's camp from July 19-23, 2018.
By LISA BROWN
In the morning the girls listened to a lecture, and then divided into smaller groups to attend classes. During these classes they learned sebaastics, jumps, and double sided baskets their afternoons they learned pom poms they learned pop rattles, and practiced their cheers.
The camp offered the girls a variety of lessons in the essentials of high school cheerleading. Camp enrollment this year includes people more than last year's enrollment.
At night the pep squads, approximately
six girls from the same school, competed
in a basketball tournament.
They performed one new cheer which they had learned at camp, and one cheer they knew before camp. Each night they sang a song to the girls and a blue ribbon was given them.
First, second and third place prices were awarded to the best cheerleading squads
The girls were judged 90 per cent on their ability and 10 per cent on a mixture of attitude, personality, consideration, and the ability to turn the crowd on. A special
prize was also given to the squad that showed the most spirit during the week whether their ability was outstanding or not.
Most of the participants were midwesterners who ranged from junior high to college, and many cheerleaders. Each squad was required to make a notebook of everything they were taught during their five-day camp. These journals included summaries of lectures, and routines.
The International Cheerleading Foundation has established clinics from coast to coast. Most of the instructors are pro-game cheerleaders and yell leaders the team will serve as mentors and enthusiasm while they were at an important game. An exception was Tom Johnson, director of the camp. He is a member of the JV cheerleaders. Shawnee Mission North, Shawnee Mission
Sally Sterling and Sally Tennis are co-captains of the Kansas City Chefs professional cheering squad. Sterling is from Kansas City, Mo., and is a student at Oklahoma State University. Tennis is from Independence, Mo., and is student at Southwestern Missouri.
Randy May, another instructor, said many University students would like to show the girls as they grew.

Newest Stones Album Is 'Exciting'
BY NEIL NEHRING
Kansan Staff Writer
The Rollling Stones have been busted in Rhode Island, so I'm going to persuade you to buy their new album, 'Exile On Main' so that the boys can pay their attorneys.'
"Exile" has been knocked around a lot by the "hip" reviewers, mainly for not tipping the Stones previous work, but the truth is that the album is the best thing this year, and there isn't a song on it that isn't enjoyable. If you listen to music simply to give a lift, "Exile On Main Street" is fantastic.
Side one opens with two songs that knock your head off, "Rocks Off" and "Rip This Joint." The latter is greysey '1850 all the way, but none of the oldies rocked as hard as the Stones do. Bobby Keyes contributes a golden saxophone sol on "Join" that is one of the better and more inspiring solos on the album.
The third song, "Hip Shake," is borrowed from one of the Stones' blues predecessors, Slim Harpo. It's catchy but not too exciting, "Casino Boogie" is one of
the weaker songs on the album. Which brings us to "Tumbling Dice," the masterpiece of the record. The strength of this work is beautiful backing vocal and Charlie Wall's melody.
Side two slops down with a country tune,
'Sweet Virginia,' which has a prominent
dirty word, continues slowly with a
beautiful song called 'Torn and Frayed.,
a song about Angela Davis, 'Sweet Black
Angel' and closes with 'Loving Cup.'
The most powerful side of "Exile" is side three, which opens with a screening pop tune aptly named "Happy." It's definitely a single, and features Keith Richard lead doing vocal. A song with a tilt to the follows, and then comes "Ventilator Blues" by Jack Jagger's vicious singing. "Ventilator" moves into "Just Wanna See His Face," one of the more eerie songs the Stones have done.
The song is about Jesus, which is weird because another earie song by the Stones was "Symphyta for the Devil," done in 1968. "Let Lose It" closes side three, and the best song on the album, with some very soulful ladies backing up Jagger.
"All Down the Line" starts the last side, and it too is perhaps the best song on the album. "Stop Breaking Down" is tired blues, "Shine A Light" is tired gospel, and "Sole Survivor" is tired rock, but they are listenable.
Now it's time for a few fun and games. The trick is to match up the nickname with the real person. The real names are Chris Johnson, Jim Williams, Lieu Hartick, Johnson, Jim Williams, Lieu Hartick, Michelle Reed, Peg Lackman, Charles Fleckenstein, Jim Newman, and one person who chooses to remain anonymous. And good luck. It's not as easy as it sounds.
Nicknames Have Variety Plus Fantastic Propriety
The cast of "Exile on Main Street" includes the Stones, the great Nicky Hopkins on piano, Jim Price on trumpet and trombone, Bobby Keyes on xylophone and a variety of other backup personnel including Billy Preston.
An unusual feature of the camp this year is the variety of nicknames. Sometimes the names fit the person's personality, sometimes they are exactly the opposite, and other times the names appear for no reason at all.
named for his small stature; Spunky—named for her vivacious personality; Toad—his trademark is his T-shirt with a large green toad on the front; Mozart—named for his musical aspirations; Bozo—named for her clownish ways; and Harpo, Guru, Flash, and Slug named for various unknown reasons.

Whenever a large group of people stays together for a long period of time, nicknames appear quite frequently. Usually, once a person is tagged with a nickname, he is never again known by his real name.
Some of the nicknames are: Arah-bo-named because of his Arabian-sounding theme song; Speed—named because of his speedy thinking and wit; Little Man—
"Exile On Main Street" is somewhat beneath the Stones best, but it's fun, and my friend and I were especially impressed.

Novice Debater Becomes Queen of Camp Formal
By JAIN PENNER
A jock, a queen, a rotten debater, and an aspiring Diana Ross is the way Martin Luther King Jr. was.
The 17-year-old speech and debate camper from Carthage, Mo. said that she could have come for music or art as well as debate.
She has one year of novice debate experience behind her and will be a varity
Last week was an exciting one for Marti. When the speech campers went to Kansas City on Friday, Marti took a test and received her third class radio operator's license. On Saturday, she became the first girl in the camp to be crowned queen of the camp formal.
Among her interests, Marti lists taking long walks to find her head, singing, blowing bubbles, and working on the radio.
At home, she works as a jock on a local
radio station. At camp, we are enrolled in the radio=television commentary class and study of English.

Packing Remains Problem
By SARA WESTBROOK
Kansan Staff Writer
As the end of camp is coming, all problems of meeting deadlines or preparing debates, practicing for competitions, and sending, but one problem remains—that of having
It hardly seems possible to get all that stuff back into the same suitcases that held it so easily five weeks ago. But, of course, there is more stuff to lay now.
Artists have from 60 to 75 dollars worth of supplies that they don't have when they come back.
Yearbook Distributed
The camper turns his thoughts toward home, and nothing seems to cloud his vision of the joyful, or sorrowful departure except how to depart with all of his juck.
Tempo yearbooks were distributed yesterday followed by an autograph party on Saturday.
"The autograph party was held afterward so that students would have a chance to sign each other's books before they arrived for home, said Chuck Smith, editor of the book. The party began at 7:30 p.m. at McCollim Hall and lasted until 9:30 p.m.
The Tempo, a publication which gives a picture story of the camp was distributed to students who had paid three dollars for it. Distribution was at McColum Hall.
vases, fragile pieces of pottery, and jars and tubes of paint that leak easily. All this must be fitted into suitcases that seem to have shrunk.
Journalism students have treasured copies of HTK and the Associated Press Stylebook that must be packed with care and countless copies of the Kampfer magazine, friends and relatives, as proof that not all hours were spent in the photolab lounge.
Speech campers have files filled with mounds of research that could prove powerful.
Particular problems are posed for those students who must fly home. With a limit of two bags per person on a flight, most people are having to ship bedding and causes home in advance, thus being forced to sleep outdoors when hours unoccupied on barren beds.
The camp musicians have the ever present instrument. It would seem rather difficult to stick your cello under the seat of the plane.
The real problem of packing is fitting in all new acquisitions, or "souvenirs". We filled med-Jayhawks seem to be a strata that requires trying to fit one in the corner of a suitcase.
T-shirts, printed in mass at the Union, with anything from Midwestern Music and Art Camp to "Faggert" on them, must be cramped in, also. Of course, at least one suitcase has to be reserved for dirty clothes.
The job of getting possessions, old and new, back home, must be ruled unaccomplishable—especially when one reserves 30 minutes to pack.
The Kansas Union is KU's Living Room

The Kansas Union is one building all campers will remember. There some ate theirACK lunches, some got snacks or cokes, some bought books and some listened to music. The Union, through the Bookstore,
was the place to buy Jayhawk souvenirs, such as shirts, sweatshirts, postcards and stuffed animals, to send home or to keep as remembrances of the $35 session of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp.
