Summer Camp Features Music, Art, Theater
Experts in the field of music and art agree that it is best to start training young. And that is just what the Midwestern Music and Art Camp does. The Camp, whose nineteenth season will run from June 18 to July 29, offers specialized training to high school and junior high school students in all phases of music, art, theater, and ballet.
The theatre division is a new addition to the camp. An ambitious schedule including the production of four plays in the Student Union ballroom theatre is being planned. Special instruction will be given in acting, make-up, costuming, lighting, and design, and every student will have an important share in all elements of production.
The music division features not only an outstanding band, symphony orchestra, and chorus, but it also offers training in ensembles, private lessons, theory, and numerous musical productions for student participation or listening.
The art division of the camp will offer classes in sculpture, weaving, fashion, cartooning, figure sketching, lettering, jewelry and silversmithing, landscape and still life painting. Former art instruction is not necessary.
The ballet division has planned a series of courses for beginners and advanced students, including classic ballet, interpretative dancing, beginning and advanced toe, and folk dancing.
Robert E. Bell, who is recognized as one of the outstanding teachers of ballet, will conduct the classes. For many years Mr. Bell was a featured soloist with Connel de Basil's original Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. He has danced with such ballerinas as Alexandra Danilova, Alicia Markova, and Mia Slavenska.
Tomi Yadon, Lawrence junior, who played the part of Louise, Billy and Julie Bigelow's daughter in "Carousel," will assist Mr. Bell.
Students participating in the camp are usually in class from 8 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. A recreational program is arranged for leisure hours, and includes a visit to Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, Mo.
The camp girls are housed in North College and Corbin Halls, and the boys in the new Carruth-O'- Leary men's dormitory.
About 25 KU students are counselors for the camp. They live in the dormitories, and supervise the camp students' activities during leisure hours. It is their responsibility to see that the students attend the concerts and other required functions.
Last year about 400 high school students attended the camp, sponsored by the School of Fine Arts.
Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra, is the camp director. Lewin Goff, associate professor of speech and drama, is director of the theatre division.
Fees are $275 which include board room, concerts, social activities, recreation, yearbook, and hospital fees. Private lessons are $1.50 per lesson. A limited number of scholarships are available.

Choice Is Ike's, Dr. White Says
SAN FRANCISCO —(U,P)—Dr. Paul Dudley White, one of the nation's top heart specialists, said Sunday he and other physicians will analyze closely the results of President Eisenhower's latest physical examination but will make no recommendation about a second term.
"The choice will be his," Dr. White said.
The famed Boston heart man said he and other doctors will give the President "findings and a medical opinion" of the physical he took last week but will not attempt to give any advice on the big question that faces Mr. Eisenhower.
Dr. White planned two addresses today in San Francisco. He arrived last night from San Diego where he had just concluded a scientific cruise in lower California waters.
The physician said he planned to leave for Washington by air tonight. The heart specialists are due to confer Tuesday on the results of Mr. Eisenhower's physical at Walter Reed Hospital Saturday.
"I cannot say anything about the President's present condition." Dr. White said. "I haven't seen him for several weeks."
He said he had not spoken to any of the President's doctors since returning from his scientific cruise, on which Dr. White attempted to record the heart beat of the great gray whale.
Racial Issue 'Bad In Election': Adlai
PORTLAND, Orc.—(U.P.)—Adalai Stevenson said Sunday that the issue of segregation should be kept out of the presidential campaign because it pits "section against section or race against race."
The Democratic presidential candidate said strong federal action to end segregation may "actually delay the process of integration in education" and said candidates should not "exploit for political ends" racial tensions in the South.
Mr. Stevenson has been criticized by liberal elements in his party for advocating "gradual ism" in desegregation.

"No one cheered this sentiment except those whose basic rights have not been restricted or denied," Mr. Wilkins said.
"The Negro himself is American enough to resent and reject the suggestion that any American should refuse to claim those rights which have been declared to be his under the Constitution," he added.
