University Kamper Kansan Friday, July 21, 1972 3 Kansan Photo by STEVE FELKEI Demos Initiate Convention Changes Terry Housh with His Art Work Third floor music student calls it furniture sculpture By SUSAN BOLING Kansan Staff Writer The Democratic Convention is over, and experts are assessing the many changes in the political landscape. First of all it gave us the not-so- unexpected nomination of George McGovern for president and the very one who took office last year. Senator Tom Eagleton for vicepresident. More than 160 show business personalities and athletes sang, danced and performed on stage, which eventually lived up to expectations and paid off the 68 debt. Benefactors from all over the country phoned in their money for the evening at the Laine, Sally Struthers, Dick Bugs and Arrangements were even made to charge campaign pledges to Bank Americard or Master Charge. By the end of 2014, the Democrats were off and running. THE PURPOSE of the telethon was to raise enough money to pay off the '68 campaign debt and to earn a start for the campaign this fall. It all started with a teleton that began the Saturday before the convention and ran for the next 19½ hours. It was the brachidone of businessman John Y. Brown, became famous for making Colonel Sanders a fried Fried Chicken in a household name. But the Democrats gave us more than to look at. They produced a variety of changes in the convention itself to ponder over for quite a while. But this year's convention featured more than TV and movie personalities. It also included a roster of new actors. Camp Practical Jokes Flourish By STEVE FELKEL By STEVE FELKEL Kansan Staff Writer EXAMPLES OF these senseless acts were seen when a six-by-four-foot mirror on the third floor lobby was shattered when a chair was shoved into it. Another seemingly innocent prank was pulled when the toilets in the boys' restroom were stuffed with paper so that they would back up. As result the toilers did back up, sending water into a nearby counselor's room. Now, as the camp comes to a close, actual jokes and pranks have flourished the last week. Students, in an effort to pass the last days as quickly as possible, have pulled off some interesting stunts, some of them constructive and some of them quite humorous. Inside Lewis Hall, a contest has emerged between floors as to who can collect the books. Jacob of Asfueda for Tuesday, third held the lead—until supervisors made their rounds to check to make sure that all furniture pieces were returned to their owners. Other acts included the jamming of the elevators and throwing the emergency As a result of these pranks, needless destruction has occurred because of the thoughtlessness of a few. Paul Young, supervise at Lewis Hall, said, "Practical advice to be funny when they begin to destroy property and hurt people mentally or physically." batch door of the elevator compartment down the shaft. Although many of the pranks were pointless, one student found a way to express himself in a different and non-destructive way. Through the use of furniture, astrays, trashcans, and other articles, a piece of art known as "furniture sculpture" was constructed by a music camper. Using pieces of furniture that was painstakingly removed from other floors, the delicately balanced sculpture was constructed. The structure was measured at eight feet in height and eight feet in width. THE "FURNITURE sculpture," as it was known, was located in the third floor lobby where it was observed by astonished counselors as well as campers. Its existence was shortened, however, as one of them would be taken down for fear, that something ruined. All ashyrts, cushions, chair skeletons, lampshades, lamps, lightbulbs, trashcans and one clock were then removed and taken back to their original floors. Another prank that each floor was guilty of was the advertisements on the lobby chalkboard. The sign was placed in front of the elevator and as the doors swung open, services that were offered on that floor could be seen. The ads ranged anywhere from pet snops and horn repair to professional "tip" repairs. Girls Call Editorial Biased To the editors and staff of the Kamper Kansas: We hesitate to infer that the editorials of the campus newspaper are prejudiced, but it seems to us that presenting only one side is not inconvenient in a presumably democratic society. We did not feel constrained to write this letter in defense of the Twinkies, whoever In regard to your recent editorial of Friday, July 14, "Girls Fight Cold War," we can not help but feel the subject was discussed in a grossly over-biased manner more suited to a propagandist newspaper such as Pravda. The purpose of this letter is not to defend or attack either group but simply to point out that an equal measure of guilt may be imposed on each side, so no one can side have a monopoly on them. anything not set in concrete"; "Second hand furniture store" was also a common The so-called Lobby Gi ls were depicted as possessing cardinal virtues and cardinal paragons of patience—as opposed to the hopelessly immature and probably imbecillie America's tragic history of racism can be traced in part to a biased twisting of events Now as camp is coming to a close, counselors are becoming the targets of the pranksters as the one final practical joke is committed before the campers leave for home. Journalists See Royals they might be, but in defense of the principle of equal representation. Journalism students took two more field trins this past week. Tuesday evening 11 journalists and five instructors went to a Kansas City Royals baseball game in Kansas City. The group rode in the instructors' cars and enjoyed the break from dorm life. They had hot dots for dinner instead of dorm food. Not one but both groups must have understanding, since we cannot hope to live in harmony with the rest of the world if this supposedly peaceful generation can find nothing better to do than glare and call each other names. The Royals won both games of the twintight double-header against the Cubs. Last Friday a group of students went to the American Yearbook Company in Topkai. They took a general tour of the plant and the page plant, which are separated. -Beek Cain One camper said it was fantastic how the company printed books for so many people. "I'll do that again." delegates. Seventy-nine percent of the delegates attended a political convention for the first time in Miami, Old-style politicians such as Mayor Dick Dale (who was dismissed from the Illinois delegation because the delegation did not conform to minority party rules set up primarily by Republican leaders) missing from the convention throng. Lorry Andresen Kim Beavis Laura Hohman Deb Birchell The journalism campers have previously visited the University Printing service, where the Kampfer Kansas is stationed, and have spent a day in Kansas City. Each round is judged and a win-loss record for each team is recorded. Judges will also award a certain number of points to each team. In case of a tie these points are the determining factor. Individual speaker awards in the debates will also be awarded. Debaters . . . WOMEN were better represented in Miami this year, with 36 percent of the delegates being female. This compared with Chicago, where the delegated the Chicago convention four years. coaching staff members, debate graduate school students and KU professors. First, second and third place awards will be given to students with ceremonies at 1:30 p.m. in Murphy Hall. Continued from page 1 Blacks, too, were better represented. Fourteen percent of the convention delegates were black as compared with six percent in 68. Of the total 3,016 delegates, 21 percent were members of a minority race and 21 percent were under 30. White, middle-class, men over 40 made up the largest percentage of delegates, but they were just another group to add to the team that made up the entire convention. On the forensic side, there are seven events that an individual could sign up for. They are extemporaneous speaking, oratory, informative speaking, individual debate, prose, poetry and dramatic interpretation. Issues were different than ever before this year too, Gloria Steinem's Caucus of Women presented the issue of abortion to the convention, but it was rejected. With all the changes, the delegates still weren't all convinced that such a conflict with religious beliefs. BUSING, WHICH was defined in the platform as "the transportation of school children to achieve racial balance," was introduced for heated debate on the convention floor. A wheel-chaired George Wallace made a plea to the convention to accept his views on busing, therefore recognizing the views of the voters voted for him in the presidential primaries. He urged the convention to come out against busing. But the convention was more anxious to support the views of their nominee, George McGovern. Next on the convention agenda came the nominating and seconding speeches. These were changed also. A 18-minute speech allotted the speeches for each candidate. time allotted to the speakers. This made everything moving and cut down a length of ten feet. The demonstrations and parades at the mention of the candidates' names were made in front of them. They did make the previous conventions more exciting to watch, the demonstrations were among the first to be eliminated in this age of speed and THE FEW scattered cheers that did occur were deducted from the amount of The usual demonstrators were at the convention this year, but even they had changed. The city of Miami set up special sites for them to camp and protest. Ralph Abernathy's Resurrection City II was set in Flamingo Park, a relaxation area ANALYSIS usually designated for the elderly Representatives from hundreds of protest groups arrived in Miami to let their opinions be known. Cuban reformers, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Students for a Democratic Society, Hippies, Abbie Hoffman's Yippies, Zippies, Southern Christian Rights Organization, Southern Christians and the Gay Liberation Movement all joined forces in Miami. The elderly demonstrated for equal rights too. GEORGE McGOVERN held an impromptu rap session in his hotel lobby to answer many of the questions these protestors had. Though not all of the All in all, the convention came off pretty well. More people were represented and well organized. questions were answered, at least a few had been heard. It ended with the traditional plea for unity, unity which may have been split in the first place by all the changes in this year's convention. This last week of camp has been declared National Viola Week. But McGovern, Hubert Humphrey, Ed Muskie, Shirely Chisholm, Henry Jackson, and Ted Kennedy all clapped hands at the signify that disputes should be put away, and they should turn to supporting the candidate of the new, changed Democratic party. It started three years ago when three colleagues attached "National Week's Club" to the University of Texas. T-shirts also have become a part of the tradition. Symphony orchestra violists bought purple T-shirts while concert orchestra bought green ones, all reading "BRATSCHEN UBER ALLES" (Violas Over All). Bushouse Performed Behind Iron Curtain By NANCY CHAFFEE Kansan Staff Writer David Buhuse, assistant professor of bands, is one of the many professors who teach at UNM.

Before he played the piano, While Busheh attended the University of Michigan, he took an entire semester and toured the Iron Curtain Countries playing the trombone in a band that was also in the Army. He took tour took 15 weeks and Busheh said that the response was actually quite favorable. "A few times we played 10 or so encores a night. It was tiring," he said, "but it was good." After returning to the United States from the tour, Bushouse changed his major to Music. He received both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Brass Performance. Bushouse taught horn and band at Morehead State University in Kentucky for three years. He then came to the University of Kansas and was a horn professor here.
