LAWRENCE, KANSAS
48th Year, No. 11
AND IT COMES OUT HERE—Wilson Morris, Lake Charles, two, and Dave Brown, Minneapolis, Minn., two students participating in the Research Apprenticeship program of the Midwestern Science Camp, discuss the workings of
KU's Van de Graaff generator in Malott Hall. Morris has been using the generator in a study of the general characteristics and nature of subatomic particles with nuclei as a part of his special summer project.
Research Apprenticeships Show Outstanding Prospects
Russia has promised to outstrip the United States in the production of young scientists.
But if the Iron Curtain nation succeeds, it will have gone a long way — at least in quality — for it appears that it will take a supreme effort to best the quality of American youth if the KU Science and Mathematics Camp Apprenticeship Program is any indication.
This summer 25 outstanding graduates of last summer's regular science camp program were invited back for this research participation program. They could work in any particular area of science out of the 20 fields offered in the camp.
Field House Precinct Set
Students wishing to vote an instate absentee ballot in the Aug. 2 primary elections in Kansas may get the ballots at any polling precinct in Lawrence.
The program was scheduled for just three weeks. But most of the participants got so engrossed in their subjects that they will stay on campus through the end of the 5-week Music and Art Camp — since facilities must be maintained for those youngsters anyway.
However, Delbert Mathia, Douglascounty Clerk, suggests that studentsvote at Allen Field House, since that polling place is specificallydesigned for KU students and votersshould be able to avoid the congestionat other precincts.
Mathia says that since only the state candidates will be listed on the in-state absentee ballots, students should first ascertain the names of candidates in local primaries in their area in order that they can write in the persons of their choice.
Recital, Formal On Camp Schedule
For the most part, the students work on original projects.
Two special events are on tap for the Midwestern Music and Art Camp this weekend. An advanced student recital will be presented at 7:30 tonight in the Recital Hall in Murphy Hall.
Campers will hold their annual formal dance at 8 Saturday night in the Kansas Union.
Robert T. Hersh, assistant professor of biochemistry, will begin a five-year study of molecular morphology this summer with a $66,450 senior research fellowship.
KU Awarded Large Grant
The purpose of the fellowship is to fcster additional research in the preclinical science departments of schools of medicine, dentistry and public health through investigators in these areas, during the period between completion of their post doctoral research training and their eligibility for permanent higher academic appointments.
Prof. Hersh will conduct his research in the area of molecular morphology, especially as applied to macromolecules in living cells and the changes they undergo during aging and disease.
He is currently conducting research under a NIH grant on the "Comparative Physical Biochemistry of Microsomes."
The grant is being awarded the KU department of biochemistry by the National Institutes of Health.
He will remain with the biochemistry department in Lawrence until 1962 and then will move with it to the KU Medical Center in Kansas City.
As an example, take the case of Dave Brown, who graduated from high school in Minneapolis, Mnn.. this spring and will enter Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore this fall.
Brown's project involves taking an embryo directly from a mother (in this case a mouse) and transplanting it to a synthetic environment to see if development will occur without a mother.
Brown admits he got the idea after reading Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" in which life was created in a test tube from inert matter.
The youngster previously has been working with tissue transplantation at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.
Brown's project is the rule, rather than the exception, in this advanced science project. Like the other apprentices, he works directly under University faculty members, in his case Byron S. Wenger, associate professor of anatomy, and James L. Hall, assistant professor of anatomy.
His background emphasizes the level of development attained by students in the research participation program. In 1958 Brown's tissue transplantation project won first place in the National Science Fair at Flint, Mich., earned a citation and personal appearance before the American Medical Association, and won him a Westinghouse science scholarship at Johns Hopkins.
The apprenticeship program at KU is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and other grants. The entire Science Camp was under the direction of George W. Baxter, associate professor of botany.

Temperatures today through Monday will average slightly above seasonal normals with warm at the beginning of the period turning cooler by weekend. Normal highs lower 90s. Normal lows 61 northwest to 70 southeast.
Clinic Set to Draw Top Music Artists
The second annual Midwestern Music Clinic opens next Thursday at the University with visiting specialists of national and international reputation on hand to help refresh the skills of area high school music teachers.
The four-day clinic coincides with the final days of the six week Midwestern Music and Art Camp, a summer program designed for talented high school students.
Prof. Russell L. Wiley, director of the music and art camp, also serves as director of the clinic, which is sponsored by the KU School of Fine Arts and the music and art camp.
The clinic consists of rehearsals and reading sessions with band, orchestra, and chorus, and forums on musical problems and individual instruments.
Guest conductors will include Lucien Cailliet, former professor of music at the University of Southern California and conductor with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, clinic and music and art camp band; Lloyd Pfautsch of Southern Methodist University, clinic and music and art camp chorus, and Henri Ternianka, co-founder and leader of the Paganini Quartet, music and art camp orchestra.
Other visiting experts and their specialties will be; Benar Heifetz, Albenieri Trio, violoncello; Fred Wilkins, Radio City Music Hall orchestra, flute; Dave Weber, former soloist with the New York Philharmonic, clarinet; Fred Hemke, prize pupil of Marcel Mulé, saxophone.
Byron Autry, trumpet: Louis Stout, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, French horn; Allen Ostrander, New York Philharmonic, trombone: William Bell, New York Philharmonic, low brass and tuba, and Bill Hall, New Orleans Symphony Orchestra, percussion.
KU faculty members participating are Wiley, professor of band, Clayton H. Krebblel, associate professor of music education and choral music, and Gerald M. Carney, associate professor of music education.
Highlights of events for the public: Midwestern Music and Art Camp ballet recital, 8 p.m. Thursday, Hoch Auditorium, admission $1.00; artist recital, Summer Concert Course series (Benar Heifetz, violoncello, and Henri Temianka, violin), 8 p.m. Friday, Murphy Hall, admission $1.50; joint concert of Music Camp Orchestra and Supervisors' Clinic Chorus, 3:30 p.m. Sunday, University Theatre, Murphy Hall, and a final concert of the Music Camp Band and Chorus with guest soloists, 8 p.m. Sunday, outdoor theater. No admission charge for the final two events.
Gilstrap Joins AFROTC Staff
Major Jack Gilstrap has joined the staff of the Air Force ROTC unit here as replacement for Capt. Donald L. Hunter, who has completed a 3-year assignment and will soon report to Otis AFB at Cape Cod, Mass., for duty in the Airborne Early Warning service.

Fraternity Rush Dates Announced
The Interraternity Council of the University of Kansas will conduct its fall rushing and pledging period September 7-10 with no major changes of procedures from recent years.
Ben C. Langel, Salina junior, co-rush chairman, said there would be registration during the afternoon and evening of September 7. The IFC will hold an evening party then and most of the fraternities will conduct traditional "train dates" in or near Lawrence. Actual rushing will be the three days September 8-10.
