Spendthrifts Devise Ways To Get Cash
Bv RICKY CLARK
Money is a problem both in the nation's economic situation and with the campers attending the different camp divisions at the University of Kansas. The campers have many opportunities to spend money but have limited money sources.
Other campers just write home to their parents to try to get more money. Some campers just say that they need more money, and they don't explain why.
Some campers have checks and travelers' cheques to try to solve this problem. These items can be found at the checkpoint.
When the money arrives, you can finally go on that long, awaited shopping spree. You can spend more time in the snack room, go to the movies, ride the bus more often, downto town to shop in all the different stores, order pizza at a new restaurant, visit the Center, buy more books, spend more at the Kansas Union, eat out, get some new shoes, buy more clothes to cope with your laundry problems, see more plays, play reader, read more underground newspapers that aren't free, take more pictures with the new film you just bought, wash clothes again, buy another movie in the room again, buy another key, call your friends using the pay phone, and on and on.

Hung Up
There are plenty of things that a person can use his money for. But it is amazing that all the campers' shopping lists seem to be getting bigger and bigger, while they are waiting for their checks to be cashed or for their money to arrive.
Don't ask how it got there, but there was a bicycle hanging from a light pole on campus this week. Perhaps its owner (Mary Poppins?) wanted a safe parking place. Or maybe the bicycle was frightened by a passing truck and jumped up there all by itself.
Stars, Math and Biochemistry
Science Students Busy in Labs
Rv MARY KEENAN
Physics class is shooting ballistic missiles at thread spools. Sociology class was too busy studying suicide this week to get around to playing roles, but they have it scheduled for next week. The microbiologists are “doing their own thing” in the lab. Chemists are studying math and math students are probably learning about the structure of bacteria been an ordinary day for science congeners.
Although the entire camp has only 15 girls to 45 boys, there are actually more important ratios involved with science. Take the science classes and have studentsassested late hours to those of other campers for it.
June 28, 29 and 30, any interested science campers had the opportunity to visit the observatory providing, of course, that it was a clear night, with no penalty for being late.
As one camper claimed, "The entire camp is designed to provide things that students can't get in high school. It's not every day you have a classroom of spools of thread! The physics are also working with computers, studying physical law and attending their lecture-lab classes daily. Some students report that exertion is the most difficult they taught theories, at least in their experience."
Sociology, whose classes regularly follow a more discussion format, will complete their course in a few weeks.
philosophies, their relation to family background, and their development in relation to ways of life. Next week, July 12 and 13, the sociologists will attempt to "stimulate society" by assuming societal observations, observing the problems that arise, and working out various solutions for their small society.
Microbiology students will have the task of identifying an unknown organism as a major project in their study of micro-organisms. The main emphasis in class at this time is biochemistry, studied in full two-hour labs. At the beginning of each half lecture sessions the rest of the week. One student observed, "Any work we do in that class is strictly on an individual basis."
Chemistry, by far the largest class of science camp, has undertaken study of combination chemistry lately, an analysis of how, where, why, in what forms, and in what elements the combine. The students' calculations involve the use of a great deal of math.
Math students have assignments almost every night out of a regular textbook. In one student's mind, the course resembles admirable high school math, only more advanced.
Whether the scientists consider their stay at camp productive or not, one thing is clear, the spools of thread in physics class will never be the same.

Career Guidance Open to Campers
By DEBRIE GUMP
For the camper who has a personal problem, doesn't know where to go to college or what to do when he gets there or what kind of job to get, fear not. There's hope for you, by calling the Galley Hall. It goes under the name of the Galley Hall, located in room 116 in the aforesaid room.
The counseling service is staffed by graduate students finishing their master's degrees in guidance counseling. They must take a course called Practicum in Counseling and some of the course work involves counseling the kids from the summer camps.
The program was started three summers ago, and at that time the response from the campers was fairly great. Edward Heck of the Guidance Bureau said 25 to 30 campers came in that year, compared to less than 10 last year. Two or three have come in so far this year. The decrease may be because of the shrinking enrollment of the camp.
The majority of problems brought to the bureau involve educational and vocational decisions. The counselors try to help solve such questions as where to go to college, what subjects to take, whether or not to go to college, and what career to pursue. Because the bureau gives five weeks for the majority of camps, very few personal problems are received.
The camper can talk his problem over with a counselor and be given various tests if he so wanted, or applauded so that Heck can go over them with the team. Tapes are kept after the end of the semester. All information is confidential and sent to our sources only at the written consent of the camper.
The Guidance Bureau is open from 8:30 to 10:00 Monday through Saturday. To talk to a member or either call the Bureau at 4-9313 or go to 116 for an appointment. There is no charge for their services.
Wing Counselors Like Learning about Youth
Bv STEVE WHITLOCK
After four weeks of camp, probably the only people more ready to leave than the stuff is them.
Editor's Note: This is the third of a series of four articles on wing counselors. The fourth article will appear in the last issue of the Kemper Kanan, July 23.)
Pat Couldon to the camp to get to know today's kids. Since she plans to teach French in high school, she didn't want to be out of touch with youth. The 23-year-old Texan discovered that the girls were usually late to school and did not roll their hair and accomplish other tasks.
Pat enjoys just talking to the kids. She feels that each one is an individual, mature but still learning, funny yet smart enough to get around authority.
In looking toward future camps, she said, would hate to see Mr. Wiley's dream die. "I don't think I could have it."
After four years of participating in the camp as a camper, Deanne Watts is working in the registrator's office as well as counseling and taking courses in journalism.
Even though her girls whisper and giggle after lights out, she feels they are mature and responsible, not much trouble and willing to learn.
Demean the "Tamperers can have lots of fun with their counselors and I hope they will understand."
Bill Conklin, a graduate student at the university of Kansas, finds his relaxation in to people from other states, drinking beer and taking pictures with his Nikkormat.
So for this summer, he has found it takes about five to ten minutes for his wing to wind down and go to sleep. His photography hobby pictures the forks of the jawwater yearbook for the Jayhawker yearbook for the
Even though he gets free room and board and the chance to meet a lot of cute girls, he says he has discovered that it is not safe to just a carpenter . . . or a counselor.
In his tenth year as a counselor, Fred Pendergast has seen the camp advance from only 275 campers to the present 1,300, in addition to several more and the liberalizing of many of the rules.
Fred has worked in the camp off and on since 1965 and finds working with the campers
"They have their ups and downs with 'ust as many problems as before,' he says.
He says this year's campers appear more open-minded and more worldly.
Besides being a band director in Norfolk, Va., Fred enjoys playing music professionally and just "living on the beach." In his first job as a vocalist, Campbell has been appointed a five-star hardhair general, commanding over the hard hats in N. North. After teaching school for two years in Sutleth, Steve is taken six hours of classes, including a local conductor and private voice lessons.
His ingenious wing devised a Chinese door slam. When he informed them it was time for lights out, in one continuous chain all of the doors closed with resounding slams.
With cries of "Three North will overcome and rule with a stern hand," Steve departs to visit friends in Topeka on his only night of greedum.
Oh, Beans
EXETER, England (UPI) - For 10 nights an alarm system at a supermarket brought patrol cars racing to the huge store—only to find no burglar inside.
Promptly at 10:34 p.m. each night the alarm went off. Police doublechecked the sensitive system but no fault was found in the company's experts took up a late night vigil.
The culprit turned out to be a can of baked beans. The expert discovered the reflected light from the culprit.
Rock Band Concert Attracts Many
Red Dog Trombonist Adds Soul to Music
Tide, a local group, also performed at concert
By BERNEIL JUHNKE
Aid smire sings me, the erie sound of electric guitars being tuned, the occasional brushing of cymbals being positioned and the testing of voice projection, a steady stream of guitar recently to get comfortably highlighted in the camp's evening activities.
Lured by the touch of once again groving with live musicians, the campers found the publicized "Tide" and "Red Dog" groups on stage, where they murmured before "Tide's" first chord was struck.
Although "Tide" exhibited intense "soul" output in an energetic attempt to take the audience with them, they failed to physically engage with the atmosphere could be sensed concert-like atmosphere could be sensed.
Building up the audience for the final exploding masterpiece which at last brought the uptight audience to their feet, Tide'sperm is one of the most not Be Not the Only One" to the "Cowboy Song."
Tide was organized three years ago and one of the four initial Lawrence residents are now on the board.
Steve Hall, drummer; Paul Miller, guitarist; Tim Smith, flutist and main vocalist; and Jim Stringer, organist, make up Tide's musicality "with!' group.
When asked what about the rock group maintained their interest, Paul replied, "I don't know." Mr. Cowan said he did not.
Jim Stirner said he be into the group with ideas of becoming famous. Graduated the law.
Given equal time, the dynamic "nest dog" had the advantage of playing to a "warmed up" audience, which was considerably more receptive than the hour before.
of "creating" and "making people happy" became his central ambition.
Personable Rob Lewis, trumpet, introduced the band and prepared the audience for the performance.

Denny Brunk, a crowd favorite, enthusiastically presented many of his own compositions, drawing favorable responses to his music and his vocal and trumpet playing ability.
"Find Your Love," Peace, Peace but there is no peace and "Anon" demonstrated
"Anone" hold the audience spellbound with "anose' strange rhythm patterns and winding themes. It seemed to unite the audience into a single entity, understand the message of the combination."
Dave Cook, drums and vocal; Fox Higgin, bass guitar; Alan Klean piano, music; Danny Sanderson, guitar; Al Sollenberg, trumpet; and Eric Sundquist, sax and recorder, which caused the ecstatic audience to clap, dance and hold hands to the finale, "Higher."
