Technical, Research Labs Located at Campus West
By NANCY CHAFFEE Kansan Staff Writer
From McCollium Hall one can see most of the east campus. The buildings are becoming more and more familiar to the campers as they become adjusted to their surroundings, just another part of the campus, however, just across the street from McCollium Hall.
The furthest building north of McColm is the Printing Service building. Inside this building is printed the University Daily Kansan. It is also where the Kamper Kansan and "Tempo," the camp yearbook and Journal. The campus year, many students use this service to have manuscripts and other papers printed.
East of the Printing Service Building are the Low Temperature Labs. These labs are part of the Chemical Engineering department of the research done in this building deals in low-temperature research with hydrocarbines such as propane and butane. Research also deals with liquid and gaseous gases, and the temperature refers to below -200 degrees F.
The Space Technology Building is directly across from the Pioneer Cemetery. This building contains many research labs. To use these labs, one must be interviewed to see if the research project is the type that can be done in the labs. The building has two other jobs that many researchers hold, there are more people using the lab in the summer session than there are in fall and spring sessions.
The Center for Research, Incorporated (CRINC) is just to the left of the Space Technology Building. In this building are all of the administrative offices that run
The Pharmaceutical Chemical Lab building is mainly concerned with the study of the efficiency of drugs. The McCormack lab basically with health related problems.
The Geological Survey Building deals basically with mineral research. At this time they are working on environmental geology and with NASA in space research.

Summer Camp Enrollment Ebbs

Variety was offered to the campers in 1968 in the form of music, French, Latin, German, Spanish, journalism and speech and debate. Because of a lack of interest the camp has gradually been reduced to art, art, journalism and speech and debate.

Summer camp is a wild experience for some kids—fascinating classes, hundreds of new people to meet, no more dull lessons, the ability to claim rights and wrongs . . . or are there?
As a matter of fact, the summer campers have two "house-parents" to watch over them, supervisors Leslie Friend and Paul Young.
THE SUMMER camp is nothing new to Friend. In 1963, her seventh grade summer, she attended the Junior High Music Camp. She enjoyed her experience so much that her career led to Junior High that year and then to the High Camp for three years after that.
Friend's two greatest loves are music and working with people. By attending

camp, she got great exposure to both of these things, so she decided to continue work with the camp. She joined the staff in 1970 as a counselor, serving as an assistant supervisor last summer, and finally became the head supervisor this year.
Friend stressed that camp is a very valuable experience for young people because they have the chance to do concentrated study in their field of interest as well as meeting people from all over the country because the experience not available in their high schools.
EXPERIENCE is one thing both supervisors have in common. Young, supervisor of Lewis Hall, has been affiliated with the camp for nine years as a counselor, assistant supervisor, and head supervisor.
An Oklahoma native, raised in Kansas City, Young is currently the vocal music teacher at Shawnee Mission North High School.
Young felt that the camp was fantastic in that it offered the opportunity to enrich the lives of its students.
Regulations Enacted For Students
Science, which until this year has been a major division of the dam, was dropped. Wiley attributes the enrollment of two people to the fact that the national government has ceased to issue science grants to aid students.
"Less emphasis is placed on science now and therefore it is not as popular as it once was."
Professor Russell Wiley, Midwestern Music and Art Camp director, explained recently the regulations governing the camp.
"Parents no longer need to send their children off to camps to entertain them for the summer. Kids are too busy to attend school. Parents don't know why one week camps are so popular."

Wiley said "In the first few years of the camp, the students were not governed by regulations. But because of actions on the camp floor, the guards and the regulations and enforce them strictly."
reopened, camp enrollment continued to increase.
Regulation No. 1, no camp student will be charged for any failure to automobile, was brought about because of students who got in trouble from activities that occurred while the students were in school.
regulation was dropped in order for the camp to keep up with changing fashionis
Even with its fluctuating population, "the second oldest camp of this nature in the United States continues to be successful." Wiley emphasized.
Regulation No. 2, no camp student, boy or girl will be allowed to date non-camp student.
Wiley closed by saying, "The enforcement of the regulations does not please us, but we do it for the campers to protect them. All of the rules and regulations were brought about because of the students."
Regulation No. 4, closing hours, 10 p.m., lights out, 10:30, was enacted at the request of the director of the Watkins Memorial Hospital to protect students from exposure to chemicals strep throat, and other illnesses caused by a general fatigue and exhaustion.
In the years before 1969, a camp council was organized to give the campers a chance to express their opinions and ideas to the supervisors of the camp.

Regulation No. 3, there shall be no alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs, either in the camp or at any time, while attending the camp, canned about because of a rise in the number of students who are swimming and using the items, Wiley said.
One other regulation once enforced and then dropped dealt with the appearance of a drug.
Bob Hollowell, administrative assistant, said that he believed the general way of life in America had changed with the invention of the television, airplanes and air conditioners.
"The tightening of the national economy has caused fewer students to enroll in camps similar to this all over the country," explained Wiley. "Also, campus unrest here at the University has caused some parental concern."

After 1869, the council was dropped, because the members were no longer expressing legitimate arguments, and as a result, an organized meeting, according to Wiley.
Young summed up the true beauty of the summer camp experience when he said, "In all my years here, I have never known a camper who really tried."

naying of the year that most young people waste.
"I hope everyone will set some goals for themselves and then work to achieve those goals."
By 1970 the music and art divisions could no longer pay for themselves. To combat rising costs classes were cut from six to five weeks. Even so, enrollment has continued to go down. Wiley attributes the decrease to several factors.

Jam Sessions Create Sociable Atmosphere
By PEG LACKMAN Kansan Staff Writer
It could be in the lobby of Lewis or McCollum or out in the middle of a field. It doesn't matter where it is, what type of music it is — from Beethoven to Bacharach or Chopin to Carolle King — or what the instruments are. It is music, the universal language.
The sound of music fills the air. It could be the sound of guitars, recorders, piano, or voices, or a combination of all three of these.
Music is a way people can communicate, and when a group is gathered around the plano everyone sees that is short while ago seemed so hard, fade into the background.
Music is a great soother for the mind and we probably could not live without it
Music makes friends. When a group of people start out at the piano, or elsewhere, there are usually just two or three of them. There are also many musicians around there are many musical friends around.
A drum solo Friday night after the concert proves this. One young man sat down and began to play the drums. Soon two others came and helped him on the other set of drums. They created sound percussion sounds, all unheared.
When they started, there were very few people around. But immediately the drummers attracted attention and the number had grown to nearly fifty friends. If you ever want to be in a group of friends, music is a good method to use.
The sounds of music always fill the air in Lewis.
