LAWRENCE, KANSAS
MALE OR FEMALE?—William Davis, Kansas City, Mo., commercial artist, stops to admire "Pan Kneeeling with Bagpipes" while touring the campus. "Pan," new guardian at Spooner Museum, already has raised a controversy during his short stay.

Swedish Movie Due Wednesday
"The Great Adventure," a Swedish motion picture hailed by many critics as one of the best films of 1955 will be shown at 3:30 p.m. tomorrow in 3 Bailey.
It is the fifth in a summer series "Film Features of Fact and Fiction," presented by the Bureau of Visual Instruction.
"The Great Adventure" was photographed on a Swedish farm, and directed by Arne Sucksdorff. It shows the symmetry of nature in its many and fascinating forms and in its endless rotations of behavior on the part of creatures and men.
It depicts how animals prey upon other animals and how man preys upon animals.
Soviet Safely Returns 3 Animals from Space
LONDON — (UPI) — Two dogs and a rabbit were fired into space by the Soviet Union and returned to earth in "good" condition, Radio Moscow said Monday.
The broadcast said the dogs were named Daring and Snowflake. No name was given for the rabbit.
The broadcast said the "space vehicle" carrying the animals was launched into the "upper layers of the atmosphere" by a single-stage geophysical ballistic rocket of medium range on July 2.
The controversy?—It seems a woman student came upon the statue from the side. Walking around the back she gave it close attention and then remarked to her companion, "She's kind of muscular for a girl, isn't she?"
Smaller than life size, the statue is one of the earlier products of Mestrovic, considered by some the world's foremost sculptor. At present Mestrovic is sculptor-in-residence at Notre Dame University.
Inspection of the front view dispelled all ideas that the sculptor might have been confused as to what sex he was sculpting. A very red face attested to the fact that Mestrovic had left no doubt.
Appraising the muscular back and long hair fashioned in a bun, her companion advised her to try a front view.
The statue was obtained for KU through the Kansas University Endowment Assn. and the Swannie Smith Zink fund.
The latter fund, sponsored by the John Zink family of Tulsa, Okla., is named for a former University student of the class of 1921, who is now the wife of John Zink, a Tulsa manufacturer, rancher, and art patron.
First Midwest Music Clinic To Start Here

Approximately 500 persons will be on the campus Thursday through Monday to attend the first annual Midwestern Music Clinic, Russell L Wiley, director of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp and the Clinic reports.
Prof. Wilev said he believes the enrollment will be doubled for next summer. The clinic is sponsored by the School of Fine Arts and the Music and Art Camp.

TAIPEI, Formosa — (UPI) — The official Military Information Service Monday said the Chinese Communists have concentrated 2,300 planes—about two-thirds of the entire Red Air Force—along the east coast within striking range of Formosa
The clinic organizations include the supervisors' band, supervisors' chorus, Music and Art Camp band, orchestra, and chorus. Three clinic ensembles are planned — clarinet, brass, and French horn. Two forums on repairs for stringed and for wind instruments will be conducted.
Twenty-two national music manufacturing companies will furnish new instruments, uniforms, and music for a 400-foot display gallery at the Music and Dramatic Arts Building during the Clinic.

Junction City — (UPI)—A Salina race car driver, the father of seven children, was killed in a seven-car smashup at the Plaza Speedway Sunday night, raising the state's week-end death toll from auto racing to three.
The driver, Gene Rodine, 31, suffered a broken neck and was dead on arrival at the city hospital.

Credit Institute To Attract 110
Approximately 110 credit bureau personnel from agencies throughout the Midwest are expected to attend the 10th Credit Bureau and Collection Management Institute here July 12-17.
A total of 25 credit hours may be earned by participants toward the required 100 to gain a certificate of achievement from the institute. The institute and KU issue the certificate jointly.
Sponsors of the five-day conference are the Associated Credit Bureaus of the Midwest, fourth district; Associated Credit Bureaus of the Rocky Mountain States; Associated Credit Bureaus of America, Inc., and University Extension.

Police Aid Royal Couple
FORMENTOR, Maiorca — (UFI)—Spanish police guarding the honeymooning Prince Albert of Belgium and his princess Monday fired on photographers pursuing the royal couple.
Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and camp director, is enthusiastic about the camp. He termed it as being "very good."
"We've never had a camp in all its (band camp) history run as smooth as this one. Furthermore, we've never had the talent that we have this year," he said.
The founder of the camp said he thought members of the music division of the camp were exhibiting more maturity as the program progresses. He attributed this maturity to the hard work and pressure under which campers work.
"The members of the band, orchestra, and chorus prepare a number much more quickly now that they are used to working under pressure.
"Most groups (musical) don't obtain 100 per cent efficiency in their work because they don't work hard enough. We approach 100 per cent efficiency because we do work hard and we have this goal in mind. This helps to make a mature musician," he explained.
Prof. Wiley said 200 students are enrolled in the band, 115 in the orchestra, and 140 in the chorus.
For the Sunday concerts, held at 3:30 p.m. in the University Theatre and at 8 p.m. in the outdoor theater, the groups practice two hours every morning, supplemented in the afternoon by an hour of sectional practice.
Each week a new program of study is given under the directorship of a new conductor, with the Sunday concerts being built around the week's work.
