Friday. July 24, 1959
SUMMER CAMP ROYALTY—John Fuerst, Cicero, Ill. and Patricia Mideke, Oklahoma City, Okla., were crowned king and queen of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp. Prof. and Mrs. Russell L.

Math Students to Be Feted
A breakfast at 8 a.m. Sunday in the Kansas Union will honor members of the senior demonstration class at KU's Summer Institute for High School and College Teachers of Mathematics.
The class members have received advanced training in mathematics for the past six weeks under sponsorship of the National Science Foundation. The students-numbering 29-were selected from more than 100 applicants from across the country.
Training included a course entitled Introductory Probability and
Statistical Inference, taught by R. N. Bradt, associate professor of mathematics, and Elementary Number Theory, taught by John B. Johnston, assistant professor of mathematics. G. B. Price, chairman of mathematics, said the classes originally were designed for teachers attending the institute but that much emphasis now is placed on the instruction itself, as a benefit to participating students.
At 6:30 p.m. Monday, a final banquet will be given in the union for all members of the institute, as well as the staff. The institute will end Aug. 1.
3 Housemothers Named for Fall
Three new housemothers for 1959-60 in Jolliffe, Pearson and Stephenson halls for men—have been selected.
They are Mrs. Cleo Wood of Kansas City, at Jollife; Mrs. Ruth Fox of Lawrence, at Pearson, and Mrs Frank Spurrier, former housemother at Sigma Chi fraternity, at Stephenson.
Emily Taylor, dean of women, says: "Student living groups employ women of executive ability, social poise, pleasing personality, vital interest in students and their activities, and good moral character.
"It is also very important that the housemother have a general understanding of university and college studies. The position is a strenuous one, requiring long hours and a great deal of physical vitality and vigor."
The duties of a housemother include planning menus, ordering food, supervising and often hiring house employees, aiding and chaperoning students in their social events, and assisting students with various problems.
Dean Taylor adds that the housemother is the official hostess of the house and its dining room. "She plays an important role in setting the tone of the house," she says.
In fraternal groups, the house hires the housemother with the approval of the dean of men or dean of women. The University hires housemothers in resident and scholarship halls.
The housemother is considered an official representative of her dean and is responsible to that official and to her house and its advisory board, the dean adds.
Speech Research Grant Awarded
The University of Kansas has received a grant totaling $41,466 from the U.S. Office of Education to conduct a three-year research program in speech improvement for kindergarten and first grade children.
The local study, which is a part of the cooperative research program begun by Congress in 1956 with a 1-million-dollar allotment, will be directed by Margaret C. Byrne, assistant professor of speech and drama, and director of the KU Speech and Hearing Clinic.
This is the second project at KU sponsored by the Research Program. The projects concern education of the mentally retarded, identifying and developing unusual talent, educational aspects of juvenile delinquency, and staffing schools and colleges.

Strauss Music Theme Of 'The Great Waltz'
The lilting strains of Strauss waltzes and the voices of Vic Damone and Claramae Turner will highlight the next Starlight Theatre presentation, "The Great Waltz," playing July 27-Aug. 2 in the outdoor theater.
Miss Turner, who sings under famed impresario S. Hurok, is making her first Starlight appearance in the role of Countess Olga Baranskaja. Her contralto voice has been praised by leading critics across the nation, who have termed her "superb," "glorious and inspirational," "truly great," and "brilliant quality."
To earn such plaudits from hardened music experts in New York and California, Miss Turner has worked with the Metropolitan, San Francisco and Chicago Lyric operas and sung some 75 roles. In Menotti's "The Medium" she created the role of Madame Flora and she won widespread critical acclaim for
her performance as the Mother Superior in the American premiere of Poulenc's "The Carmelites."
Musical highlights of the show include "The Blue Danube," "With All My Heart," "You Are My Song," "Love Will Find You," "Morning," "On Love Alone," and "Love's Never Lost."
Toscanini himself selected her to sing Urica in his final operatic performance, Verdi's "The Masked Ball."
The story deals with the Strauss family, Johann senior and junior, and the rise of the waltz in Vienna, world music capital. Johann Sr. is at the pinnacle of fame and determined his son shall not rise to his stature. The Countess has heard young Johann and resolves to let the world hear him. Through the Countess' machinations, the elder Strauss misses a performance and young Johann conducts the orchestra for the first performance of "The Beautiful Blue Danube."
