Theatre Majors Face Extensive Schedule
By JOHN HUSAR
Would the opportunity of spending six full weeks in the atmosphere of a simulated summer stock company appeal to you? It does to fifty-four theatre majors in the Midwestern Music and Art Camp
According to Dr. Jack Brooking, assistant professor of speech and drama and managing director of the theatre division of the camp, the high school students have delved whole-heartedly into a schedule of exhausting work.
Dr. Brooking, who is in his second year as head of the young department, said, "Three things that I have noted working with the young people have amazed me. That is their energy, imagination, and maturity.
Assisting Dr. Brooking are Dr.
Lewin Goff, director of University
Theatre. Mr. Virgil Godfrey, assist-
istant professor of speech and drama
and technical director, and Mr. Tom
Rea, instructor.
He told how these students could assume a variety of roles, some highly emotional, without the giggles and shyness that one would expect to find in younger people.
The most interesting class, Pantomime and Improvisations. at 9:30 a.m., alternates daily with Stage Movement (fencing, coordination drills, dancing, etc.) On alternating days classes in diction, technical theatre, makeup and directing are held at 10:30 a.m.
To Present Two Major Productions
The remainder of the dav. from 1-4 and 6-9 p.m. is spent in rehearsal for the two major productions.
"Stage Door" and "Lute Song."
Those not currently acting in a show will utilize this time on a technical crew.
Strenuous Schedule Planned
Glancing at the schedule, one would guess that the theatre students put in a rather hard day. Their working day begins at 8 a.m. when the students work on scenes with collegiate directors in Rehearsal and Performance class.
Two field trips are tentatively planned. One is an evening at the Starlight Theatre in Kansas City, Mo. and the other is a performance of the Kansas City Players.
Readings for "Stage Door" and "Lute Song" were held Monday in Fraser theatre. Each of the two plays will be given twice. "Stage Door" will be presented July 5 and 6, followed by "Lute Song" July 12 and 13.
Fees Payment Starts Friday
Concerning the Camp, Dr. Brooking had this to say. "When I was in high school nothing like this was available. This concentrated theatre work, together with the opportunity of observing the various music and art productions, provides a tremendous cultural value. I am pleased to see interest increasing steadily."
All students enrolled in Summer Session must pay fees in full at the Business office, 121 Strong Hall, to complete registration.
No payment for house bills on apartment deposits will be accepted. No checks will be cashed except in payment of fees and coupons will not be on sale. The schedule of fee payment is as follows: A to L, June 21 and M to Z, June 24. The Business office will be open from 8:00-12:00 and from 1:00-4:00.
A penalty of $2 per day for late payment of fees goes into effect on Tuesday, June 25. The enrollment of any student whose fees are not paid by Thursday, June 27, will be cancelled.
Students paying fees should bring their ID cards and pick up their fee card, which lists the amount in the basement of Strong Hall and then proceed to the Business Office.

Expect 600 For Music And Art Camp
By JOHN EATON Co-editor Of The
Courter of The Summer Session Kansan
By land and air, 550 students from 30 states converged on the KU campus Sunday to enroll in the 6th Annual Midwestern Music and Art Camp.
The camp, which is divided into six divisions, will last until July 28.
The major divisions of the camp and their separate enrollments are: Music, 245; Art, 103; Ballet, 35; Theatre, 52; Science, 86, and Mathematics, 28. In addition to the regular high school students enrolled in the Music division, 40 university students also are enrolled.
Enrollments are still coming in and Russell L. Wiley, professor of band and orchestra and director of the camp, said that he expects the enrollment to reach 600 by the end of the week due to late arrivals.
The music section of the camp was founded in 1986 by Prof. Wiley
The students, who come from such distant states as Washington and New Hampshire, have arrived by every possible conveyance. Some have hitch-hiked. Sunday morning about 3 a.m. a wheat truck with mufflers of questionable quality roared up to Carruth-O'Leary dormitory, and hesitated momentarily while a new arrival unpacked his gear.
The majority of the students are from a tri-state area composed of Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. The remainder of the students are scattered throughout the other 27 states represented.
Delayed By Storms
Carruth-O'Leary dormitory will house 225 men students from the camp. North College and Corbin Halls will house approximately 300 women students. Prof. Wiley said that the campers have nearly filled North College and Corbin Halls.
Students coming from Missouri and western Kansas reported being delayed by storms and some flooding.
The music division of the camp will include a concert band, symphony orchestra, and choral group that will present performances each Sunday throughout the camp
The concert band, composed of 200 select players, will present a formal concert every Sunday evening at 8 p.m. in the outdoor theatre just east of Hoch Auditorium.
A 100 member symphony orchestra will present its weekly concert on Sunday at 3:30 p.m. in Hoch Auditorium.
The camp chorus, composed of 175 voices, will perform twice each Sunday with the band and the orchestra.
To Present Concerts
Although the schedule that begins with a 6:45 am. revelie is a strenuous one, the campers also have a full recreational program outlined for them. The students are required to take part in at least two activities which include athletics and the camp yearbook. But trips are planned to Kansas City. Mo. to visit museums and other places of interest.
Weather
Party cloudy through Tuesday with widely scattered thunderstorms east portion this afternoon, diminishing this evening. Cooler southwest this afternoon, over central and east tonight and east portion Tuesday. Low tonight 50's west to 70 southeast. High Tuesday 70 northwest to 85 southeast.
