Guest Conductor Has Varied Background
Guy Fraser Harrison, conductor of the Oklahoma City Symphony Orchestra and this week's guest director of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp, has a cosmopolitan background.
Born in England, Mr. Harrison began his education as a choirboy at Oxford University. While at Oxford, he received instruction in voice, piano and organ. He later became an organ scholar at the Royal College of Music in London, where he received further instruction in organ and piano.
He spent six years in Manila at the Episcopal Cathedral missionary district, teaching organ and voice and directing the choir.
Following his tenure in the Philippines, he came to the United States, where he was a member of the faculty of the Eastman School of Music, at the University of Rochester in New York for 30 years. While at Eastman, he was also organist and choirmaster and began his conducting career there.
Mr. Harrison has been director of the Oklahoma City Symphony since 1951 and annually directs the orchestra in a 22 week, 66 concert season.
He does extensive work with high school level groups throughout the nation with regular visits to such scattered points as California, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. This is his tenth season as guest conductor of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp.
To Choose King, Queen
Students at the Midwestern Music and Art Camp will choose the best musicians and a king and queen this week.
Finalist for the honor of best musician will be chosen from the nominations of the boys' and girls' dormitories. One boy and one girl will be picked from the list of finalists by a committee made up of faculty members.
The selections of the faculty committee will be announced at the last concert of the music camp Sunday, July 27.
A king and queen will be chosen by ballot to reign over the camp's formal dance to be held Saturday in the Kansas Union Ballroom. Campaigning is now in progress for the selection of camp royalty and the winners of the election will be selected on the basis of popularity and their activities during the season.

Greeks Knew Play Plots
The Greek tragedy, "The Trojan Women" by Euripedes, will be presented by the Summer Theatre at 7:30 p.m. today in the University Theatre in the Music and Dramatic Arts Building. It was also given Thursday.
Tickets may be purchased at Bell's Music Store, the Kansas Union or the University Theatre box office. Student ID cards may be exchanged only at the University Theatre box office.
The Athenian audience was seldom surprised by any turn of events in their plays because they knew the stories behind them.
In "The Trojan Women" for example, the audience knew Helen was the wife of Menelaos, king of Sparta, and brother, Agamemnon, the most powerful prince in Greece.
While Menelao was absent, Paris son of Heucba and Priam, who was King of Troy, fled with Helen to Troy. Agamemnon called upon the other Greek princes to unite in a war of revenge against the Troians.
"The Trojan Women" opens after the fall of Troy and is most concerned with the fates of Hecuba; her daughter, Kassandra; Andromache, widowed wife of Hector, and their son Astyanax; and Helen.
When Kassandra was claimed by
Agamemnon and called to his bed, the Athenian audience remembered Agamemnon would return home to an unfaithful wife who, together with her lover Aegisthus, would murder him and Kassandra.
Also when Helen was threatened by Menelaos with a horrible death when they returned to the scene of her original betrayal, the audience knew they returned to Sparta and lived there happily until their deaths.
Campers To Give Scenes From Plays
Members of the drama division of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp will present another group of scenes from various plays at 8 p.m. Monday and Tuesday in the Experimental Theatre of the Music and Dramatic Arts Building.
One of the plays, "Christ Mass Bound," was written and will be directed by one of the summer students, Paul McKee, Kirkwood, Mo; graduate student.
