GEEVE ME YOU' HAN' PLEASE—Jan Miner's jocular smile and swirling skirt seem to have little effect on docile Steve Wood, as the couple participate in a "bop contest" at the semi-formal dance held in the Student Union Ballroom Saturday night for the Midwestern Music and Art Campers. This was the first of four such dances on the Camp's overflowing schedule. An informal dance will be held on June 29, a Sadie Hawkins Day costume dance on July 13, and the Formal on July 20.

Brooking Is Director
With classes in pantomime, stage movement, diction, makeup, directing, and rehearsal, the 54 theater campers have a complete schedule of work. Those with parts in the plays must rehearse each day and for those without parts there is set construction and costume making.
Most of the students in the three camp productions are theater majors, but a few are from the other sections of the camp-music, art, and ballet.
Dr. Jack Brooking, assistant professor of speech and drama, is managing director of the theater division of the camp. Assisting him are Dr. Lewin Goff, director of University Theatre, and Virgil Godfrey, assistant professor of speech and drama. His two university student assistants are Richard Borgen, Lawrence sophomore, and Mary Jo Lowman, Lawrence junior.
