Divisions Assign Few Textbooks
By CHUCK SMITH Kansan Staff Writer
Fow assigned textbooks are being used in the Midwestern Music and Art camp
In the speech division, the debaters use a great number of different college and high school textbooks dealing with economy. In the music division, the music theory class uses the "Melody Theory" or "Theory" by Bertram Howard. This book deals with rhythm and meter, intervals,
key signs, and trinds. This book is comparable to a regular work book.
The textbook possibly most enjoyed by
them must read it is "HTK" by John
B. Ravenell.
HTK is a note to the printer meaning that for some reason, the headline will not appear with the story. It means Hed To Kup.
The book deals with headline writing from the negative standpoint by showing how to create a positive headline.

in one section, Bremner wrote headlines that would probably be used by contemporary news writers for historical events.
Many may be wondering how A-rab put his name. It was associated with him after friends heard him playing the Arabian-sounding composition on the piano.
Some people might have seen him defending himself from that deranged gorilla, Speedy. Others might have met him when he asked for a cigarette or change.

Campers Experience College Classes, Life
By JACKIE WHITE Kansan Staff Writer
A unique feature of the Midwestern Music and Art camp is that the campers are instructed by professors and teachers in music theory, songwriting and gives students a taste of college teaching.
In art, the campers are taught two-dimensional design by Eleanor DuQuignon, assistant professor of design. DuQuignon has taught three-dimensional design at KU for
"The campers' backlogs of information are less than a university student's, but their desire to take criticism and their desire to learn is greater." DaQiqian said.
"The camp is a good experience because the duration of class time is longer than classes at a high school. In art, this extra time is beneficial."
Philip Henderson, associate professor of design, teaches the campers figure illustration and lettering. He thinks the images are engaging to them apart from university students.
MOST CLASSES in art are two or three hours long.
"Because campers must submit their work before being selected for the camp, we get superior students who like to connect." said Henderson.
Most art campers enjoy the benefits of highly trained teachers and specialized instructors.

A student art show was also presented at the Murphy Hall Gallery during the first week of camp. The last exhibit was taken down Friday, July 14. Arvid Jacobson, director of the art camp, said the show represented a cross section of the art campers flatwork done during their classes.
Showcases were provided so that three dimensional projects could be shown in addition to flatwork projects. Those projects shown include ceramics jewelry, glassware and pottery. The display is open from 8 to 6 each day until it closes on Tuesday, July 18.
An art show of outstanding camper works opened at the Kansas Union Wednesday. The projects shown were those chosen outstanding at the beginning of the school year and not included in the best student's works, all the best projects were included.
During the fifth week of the camp, from July 16 to 18, an art show will be held in the galleries of the third floor of Strong Hall. It also will include selected works of the students. The public is welcome to all of the art shows.
Continuing through the station, the group toured the newsroom, studios, control rooms, and were introduced to the new platform of including viewing the taping of a news program, "Perspective." The Lt. Governor of Missouri, William Morr appeared on this show and discussed his work in issues of the next subernational race.

"The teachers know more about what they are talking about," said Laurie Hickman, art camper. "In high school they don't explain as thoroughly."
"I THINK I learn more when I don't have to worry about grades," she added.
"WE CAN deal with a specific subject on a more abstract level during five weeks than most high school teachers do in an elementary school. On Goodnight, teacher of individual debate.
Commenting about her speech instructors, Cheryl Chalupa, speech camer, said, "Each teacher seems to have concern for every student in his class."
"THE PHILOSOPHY in my debate class is learning by experience, so we have debates all the time," said Melinda Morris, speech and debate camper. "It makes it really informal compared to high school classes."
Following this, the journalism students toured the Kansas City Star. The tour began with a summary of the background of the Star. The campers learned that the Star had run and by its employees since the founder, William Rockhill Nelson, died.
Win independent study repacing the traditional slave driver tactics, Michele Reed, art camper, said she could get more inspired and excited about her classes.
In debate, the students receive more individual attention because the classes are small, he said. They range from 10 to 15 students.
In another division, John B. Brenner,
professor of journalism, Calder M.
Pickett, professor of journalism and Lee
F. Young, associate dean of journalism,
have all won distinguished teaching
awards in the past five years.
In the speech and debate division, Steve Hunt, assistant instructor of speech and drama, teaches a debate workshop. He thinks that the camp is a unique experience because students must learn to look at life with a new perspective.
Rose Ann Faisholz, speech camper, said that the courses were more intensified because the teachers had to cram so much information into five weeks.
Bremner, who teaches copy editing to the campers, won the distinguished teaching award from the Standard Oil Foundation and also the HOPE award in 1971. For the HOPE award, Bremner was nominated and selected by students.
Another winner of the Standard Oil Foundation Award was Pickett, who teaches reporting and feature and managing Pickett received this honor in 1967.
"Their studies encompass a wide range of topics and teach them how to research in them."
YOUNG, WHO teaches a "smorgasbord," including magazine, graphics and advertising to the campers won the H. Berner Award for outstreet skating in 1969.
The journalism campers soon learned why these professors were accorded these
"The quality of teaching is far above any high school I have seen. The classes are freer and I learn more," said Donald Watters, journalism camper.
"the teachers create enthusiasm through their different styles of teaching," she writes. "They are a very important part of the learning."
They know so much about their field. I couldn't pick one because there is a lot of it and it's hard to find an article about it.
VIKI HARTTING, journalism camper,
victim of all the students were interested in
their ideas.
The journalists are not the only ones teaching their classes. So do the teachers.
The three professors agree that having only five weeks to teach several semesters of the course is just too much.
At WDAF they were met by Kone Keough, news coordinator, who led a tour through the station. While they were touring the studios the campers made a brief appearance on a live radio show of WDAF-FM.
"There is a tendency for teachers to try to cram information into students and not take the time to explain," said Brenner, who has taught the campers for five years.
"We HAVE to give a superficial response, and I don't want to go into as much detail."
Generally, the teachers do not change their teaching style for high school students. The journalists are exposed to college life and classes.
"The journalists at high school students are more intense and motivated than an average group of students," commented Young.
The professors seem to agree with the teacher who said the campers get brighter and ever more eyes.
"They have not become quite as jaded as university students," added Pickett. "Most students are here because they want to learn."
First the group toured the Nelson Art Gallery, viewing collections of Greek and Roman sculpture, English pottery, medieval art, and production of Chinese Art outside China.
The honors will be given in the areas of voice, woodwinds, piano, brass-percussion, and strings. All students who wanted to compete auditioned before a group of private teachers in their chosen grade would have got together and chose the best students.

According to Bob Hollowell, assistant director of the camp, approximately 90 students will have participated in the recitals.
At the July 19 recital, an outstanding male and female musician will be chosen from the group. The recitals will be held at Swarthworth Recital Hall located in Murphy

"I think the talent in these recitials will make some very fine programs," said Mr. Hollowell. "These performers are outstanding in their field."

Wing Parties Spice Work, Play Routine
By PEG LACKMAN
Kansan Staff Writer
One way to break the monotony of dorm life is to have a wing party. Wing parties give campers an opportunity to get away from the dorm food, play a few games, and to get members of the opposite sex above the first floor of the dorm.
Various types of wing parties may be planned. Bowling parties provide exercise as well as fun for the campers. Either a wing from the other dorm may be invited or each camper can invite one guest to add a variety of faces.
Pizza parties are also good even though they run into a little more money. Wing pizzies, even though restricted to wing members only, provide campera a chance to walk around the house in the fountain after eating a such lunch provided by the cafeteria staff.
Birthday parties can be held in con-
ference with living partner. Cake and
decorate your home for a celebration.
Money to buy the huge amounts of food consumed is usually collected from the people on the wing by either the counselor or one of the wing members appointed as a steward.
Most of the usual wing parties consist of eating, playing games in the lobby, more eating, listening to tapes and records, more eating, dancing, and just plain talking about everything from classes to the war in Vietnam.
The purpose of wing parties is to provide the campers with relaxation, fun, and a chance to play away from their busy lives. Most of the wing parties do succeed in achieving this purpose.
Many Take Psych Test
reminds one of those not-so-long-ago days of childhood. These parties help the birthday girl or boy forget that this is the first day away from home and he is not fortten.
Many students of the Midwestern Music and Art camp are presently earning money by participating in experimental music production conducted by the psychology department.
The project, funded by the National Science Foundation, involves studying how groups arrive at certain decisions. The group is given a case study of a juvenile delinquent and then asked to come up with group decisions about the
Each group consists of eight students, and the sessions run for two hours. Campers are best placed in 2:20 to 3:40 am but can only participate in the experiment one time.
