6 Friday, July 2, 1971 University Summer Kansan Blindness No Block To Camper By MICHAEL VAN ROSS Bernadette Kuhnih is 18 years old and she loves music. She plays bass violin, the guitar, she loves to sing and one of her favorite performers is Duke Ellington. What's so unusual about this? It is the fact that Bernadette is partly blind. She has been partly blind since a few days after her premature birth, when she weighed only two pounds. While in the incubator, too much oxygen entered and ruptured her eyes, causing her partial blindness. Because of this, it is necessary for her to have her music Bernadette's blindness hasn't held her down. Last year she attended a jazz camp at the University of Nevada. After she graduates from high school, she plans to attend Quincy College, Quincy, Il., and from there, on ou in the University of Illinois Bernadette is financially supported by her parents. "I could have gotten a scholarship if I wanted," she said, "but I didn't want people to pay for it." Bernadette lives in San Francisco. She has two brothers and two sisters. Of them she says, "None of my family has musical interest, but I love them just the same." One reason she loves and enjoys this camp so much is because many camper们 volunteered to enlarge her music and art collection. In the summer everyone was like a big family helping her. . 30 beef cattle would provide meat for all Bernadette Kuhlman Hungry Campers Gather to Adorn Hamburgers Large Farm Necessary To Supply Camp Meals ... campers volunteer help Bv JOAN INSCO The cafeteria is one operation in which all campers are affected for better or for worse. Although most students complain about the quality or variety of foods, it is noteworthy to mention that the trays continue to be filled. This high rate of acceptability is verified by the quantities of food which the cafeteria staff deals with. It would actually take a farm to supply the students and counselors with meals for the summer. According to Loren Kedkla, director of the cafeterias, it would take 1,400 chickens to supply the necessary number of eggs and other poultry products. In addition, 400 cows be to milked to provide the 3,200 gallons of milk consumed by the campers. With 1,600 hamburgers eaten in a single evening by the two residence halls, a herd of 30 beef cattle have to be butchered. There also must be 60 hogs and 50 turkeys to provide the remainder of the meat requirements for the five weeks. In order to be totally self-sufficient, we would be enough grain fields on this hypothetical farm so that 3,500 lbs. of flour could be harvested. Sugar beets would also be grown, as the residents of Lewis and McCollum will consume 4,000 lbs. of sugar. The concientious cafeteria staff seeks to put out a variety of tasty and colorful foods for the campers. There is usually a choice of two or even three main dishes. On a given day there are about six different desserts and salads. Most of the bakery goods are made in the cafeterias' own kitchen and when they make cookies they make 1,200 of them. Certain trends in eating have been noticed by the cateriafer personnel. For instance, there is a marked difference between the junior high and senior high campers. (the junior high campers were at McCollum for a week before the arrival of the senior high music and art students.) Whereas the younger campers were up early in the morning and in line for breakfast when the cateriafer opened, the older students wait until breakfast. Characteristically, the boy students to breakfast girls. The majority of students are fruit punch drinkers with only a handful of coffee enthusiasts. The reduced enrollment in the camp affects the food production of the camp. Consequently, close tabs are kept on the budget so the cost of each meal can be determined. Saturday's Audience Small The Midwestern Music Camp offered its first series of concerts this past weekend. The Concert Choir, Concert Orchestra and Red Band performed Saturday afternoon, the Chamber Choir and Symphony Orchestra performed Sunday afternoon and the Blue Band and Concert Band performed Sunday evening. The guest conductors this weekend were George Boberg, Larry Williams and Carmien Gage. By DAVID S. BARR First Concert a Success The Concert Choir offered three classical pieces under the baton of Darrell Benne and David L. Garrison. Larry Williams conducted the Concert Orchestra in the performance of three pieces by Handel, Khachaturian, and Garpen, Carmen, and Furter. The importance of two pieces by Bach and Dvorak. The Red Band was led by Ed Bartley in "Festival Prelude" and "Empargata Overture." George Boberd led the band in a piece entitled "Departure. One." Inipoitov. Ivanow's "Protection at the Sardar" was played under Dragon's baton, and the program ended as Bartley reassembled the podium to lead the band in "It's Not Unusual!" and John Phillip Sousa's "Washington Post" march. Although all three groups performed admirably, they had to play to a half-empty hall. Sunday was kinder to the musicians. Both the evening and evening concerts were nearly full. The Chamber Choir offered five diverse pieces. Benne led the chair in four pieces, including Viadana's "Exultate Just," the 42nd psalm, an English folk melody and a spiritual. David Lewis led the chorus in Berger's "The Eyes Of All Wait Upon Thee." The Symphony Orchestra played the Irish Tune from Percy Grainger's "County Destroy" (this piece is also known in a vocal version as "Dinny Boy") and three short pieces by Caryne Carney. The symphony Carney, Carney Dragon then took the podium to lead the group in his arrangements of "American the Beautiful" and "Greensleeves," the "Academic Festival Overture" by Brahms, and the fourth movement of Shostakovich's Fifth Symphony, which earned Dragon and the orchestra an enthusiastic standing ovation. The evening concert was no less successful. Robert Foster led the Blue Band in Sousa's "Free Lance Dance" . "Atropoe," a piece by Lawrence Wiener, a medley of songs by Richard Rodgers, and a synthesis of Sidney Grunfeld's Fair Dragon then conducted Prokofieff's opus 99 march and his arrangement of "America the Beautiful." Russell Wiley led the Concert Band in Saint-Saens's "Marsec Milière Française" and Freecoulds' "Toccata." Dragon conducted Candide by Leonard Bernstein, Bach's "Closure," and his arrangement of the sea chant "Blow The Man Down," and his "Ode to the Destiny of Man" which earned him another stand on the stage. He ended the concert with theverture to The Sea's Bride; by Rimskorsak and the Soysn march "Nobles of the Mystic Shrine." Branden Talks Shop; Says Attitude Serious By STEVE WHITLOCK Knocking on the door adorned with “Brandon's Place” and “Shoe Shines, 10 cents” will bring a response from Russell Branden, head counselor. Branden, who started to work in summer camps in his college days, has come up through the ranks. After beginning in library and band work, counseling and supervising in 1959, he has had top command of the junior high camp since 1965. Among his many duties are the responsibility for seeing that all counselors do the things necessary for the campers' survival. He also sets up the work schedules, sees to the nutritional needs of the campers and, on occasion, fishes, hunts and guest conducts. Although Branden is in constant fear of losing a student, he has not lost one yet, although in some instances they have been misplaced for a short time. "It's a challenge," Brandon said, "to guess all of the unique things that the students will do." The past campers' ingenuity was displayed in their training of a white mouse to run from one room to the other and crawl up into a drawer to make the supervisor think they were pulling a golf ball around on a string. Almost every year there are the usual fires in Russell Branden Photo by LEN SOPHRIN ... "it's a challenge" Editing Class Enjoys Trivia(Sing.-Trivium) By FLORESTINE PURNELL How many motor-cycles are registered in Chyeon County? Don't know! Ask Brian If you were born on Dec. 28, 1923, what day was it here in the United States and Australia? You don't know this either? Ask Lennon Soprin or Cormie Mower, they know. What is the origination of the word bozo? Ask Lennon Soprin again, he can tell you. Why do these people know the choice bits of information? They are in John Bremner's journalism camp editing class, and there are many more seemingly unimportant facts these students know. Before the camp is over, they know a lot more about anything and everything. Who is the "big cheese" in East Germany, what is his title and when did he take office? You don't know? Ask Regina Ahrens, she knows. This is in Bremner's 'style of teaching, asking students "hard-easy" questions, then telling them to go out and look them up if they say they don't know the answers. You're a student sitting at your desk trying to pay attention to what is being said, but through the window you can hear the construction work almost drowning out the voices in the room. You've just come back from a long walk to your residence hall and back, and you're tired. You're getting more and more sleepy. Suddenly . . . "Blue and gold for ever..." booms off-key over the room, scaring you to death, but you're wake again, for awhile, and you're paying attention. You're moding again . . . then someone has sent you to the ceiling by poking you in both sides . . . Bremer again! This time you are bored because you're totally embarrassed by the ceiling. This, too, is in Bremner's style of teaching and throughout the class he lets you know that he is trying to keep you alert and listening. Surprisingly, all of these shamans have learned a bit more surprisingly, you have learned quite a bit and done a lot of work between jokes. It has been a typical day in one of Bremner's classes. He has clawed, shouted at the top of his voice, told some of the most terrible jokes you've ever heard, sung some equally terrible songs, and even jokingly insulted the entire class and some of their ancestors. 'Big Daddy' Imparts Wisdom to Campers the trash cans and pop cans in the elevator pops can sit in the elevator. According to Bradley, he would insult each student as an individual who has intensive program of study either in a cultural or academic background. Even though everything is done in mass training, students are to give each individual a unique experience. "My only advice would be to get more sleep." .. class mixes trivia, good humor and work Speech Camp Takes to Air By CINDY CRAIN There is more to do than just attend classes and prepare speeches for those students in the The Music Camp will offer another series of concerts this weekend, with Alberto Bolet as the featured guest conductor. Nine or 10 speech campers are now acting as disc jockeys for the KUOK radio station. They can be heard from 11:30 to 1:30 on Friday and almost all day at Sunday on Saturd on the dail Jackson Harrell, director of the speech camp, has announced that there will be an interpretation production entitled "Life As It Is." This will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, July 1 in the Experimental Theatre of Murphy Hall. Selections of prose and poetry will be given by Selections Wight, Jane Silley Wight and Mike Bickerton. Counselors Attend Class; Enjoy Camp By STEVE WHITLOCK Phyllis Range, a University of Kansas music major, is supervised, as she says it, "a nice bunch of kids." The 28-year-old Dallas music takes classes in acoustics and violin. At the midpoint of the Midwestern Music and Art camp, things have settled down into a day-to-day routine except for the ever-ready wing counselors. According to *Phyllis*, "The kids can nave nane-mum fun as they want to if they don't give up." Judy Schief, a graduate student at KU, is working on her thesis and is auditing classes besides counseling her wing. Her approach is that she gets to like to go close and still maintain authority. In her first year as a counselor, she finds, "You still get the occasional person who is poiled or orrery, but 90 per cent of them are to work. They are willing to abide by the 'ules and even if they don't like them, they earn to abide by them." Don Watts, for lack of a better answer, says he is just cruel for the heck of it. A cello and music theory major in his fourth summer as a bass player, he is more liberalized especially in relation to the hair. "The junior high was less inventive but they still had the usual salt and sugar sushi round. They can manage to learn and enjoy themselves at the same time." According to Don, "People fail to realize that when this many people get together, they need rules or the camp would be in a state of confusion." Lights out has not been a problem except for the 2 a.m. watermelon party which Don didn't know about until the seeds in the hall revealed it to him the next day. Lee Knap likes kids "if they are well prepared with lots of mustard and mayonnaise." With a fraternity pledge paddle for the fraternity, he makes his rounds on the Daisy Hill patrol bus. His words of wisdom to all are simply "A clean mind and a clean body. take myakk." From previous counseling and the influence of a girl counselor the 22-year-old Easton student is accustomed to rope ladders and campers running into barb wire fences. Mort Rader is a chemical engineering student as well as an assistant in the camp office. In his second year as a wing counselor, he was given responsibility for the open-minded with no present ideas about the job. The advice he imparts to the campers is to be friendly to the counselors.
