Camp To Include Music, Art
In only two weeks the atmosphere of the University will change from the weeping and wailing of final week to the gayer sounds and color of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp.

Freshman Is Queen Despite Marred Knee
A marred left knee failed to destroy five judges' idea of beauty Saturday night as Marjorie Critten, Kansas City, Mo. freshman, won the Miss Kansas City contest over 11 other finalists.
"I was playing basketball last week, fell down and skinned my knee," Miss Critten said. "I covered it up with makeup so it wouldn't show."
The cosmetics apparently did a good cover-up job
"I didn't notice a thing," said Dr. Patricia McIlrath, director of the University of Kansas City Playhouse and a judge.
The crowd of more than 200 persons applauded as the contestants strode across the stage in swim suits, did their talent stints and returned in formal attire.
"All I saw was a beautiful girl."
In the final judging, five of the contestants were called back to the stage one at a time and asked three questions which they answered extemporaneously.
They were asked about their advice to a high school senior, the person to which they look as an example and a comparison of today's teenagers with the youngsters of 20 years ago.
The new Miss Kansas City is 5-feet. $ 5 \frac{1}{2} $ -inches tall, weighs 110 pounds, has green eyes and auburn hair. She did a tap dance routine for her talent performance.
She was attendant to the military ball queen at KU this year, and in 1956 was a princess at the Kansas City Auto Show. She also was a Miss Prom attendant and military ball queen at Southwest high school.
As Miss Kansas City she will receive furs, clothes, shoes, costume jewelry, cosmetics, a year's pass to a movie theatre, and other gifts.
Miss Critten will enter the Miss Missouri contest, the winner of which will go to Atlantic City, N. J., to compete in the Miss America pageant in September.
Courses of study the students may take include symphony orchestra, concert band, choral groups, private lessons, music theory, oil and watercolor paintings, sculpture, jewelry design, weaving, pottery, acting, make-up, debate and speech, and fencing.
Actual experience will be given to students when they take part in music concerts and recitals, art displays, and theatre productions.
Half-Credit Classes Fewer By Three
Ha!f-credit courses will be harder to find in the class schedules next fall.
Henry Shenk, chairman of the department of physical education, said Friday that activities courses in equitation (horseback riding), archery and social dance will not be offered for credit next year.
The courses will still be given, Prof. Shenk said, but the normal $ \frac{1}{2} $ hour of credit will not be allowed.
Visiting Professor To Present Art
Ward Lockwood, Rose Morgan professor of art, will exhibit his paintings done at KU Thursday in 317 Strong from 3 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 10 p.m.
Prof. Lockwood, a native Kansan and former student at KU, holds a regular apoointment as professor at the University of California, at Berkeley. He is among those on whom the university and Alumni Assn. have conferred a citation for distinguished service.
Prof. Lockwood's work is found in at least 15 museums and public collections. He has done large murals for public buildings from coast to coast.
All-Sports Dinner Tonight At Union
Rev. Bob Richards, U. S. Olympic pole vault champion, will be the speaker tonight at the annual all-sports banquet in the Kansas Union Ballroom. The banquet is sponsored by the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce. Awards will be presented to KU athletes in all sports.
Big Switch Set In Housing
None of the new University housing projects will be ready for occupancy in the fall of next year, but if all goes as scheduled some students may make the move to new quarters at the beginning of the second semester.
William L. Chestnut, housing manager for the University, said Friday that the plans are to have the Joseph R. Pearson dormitory for men and Stouffer Place No.2 for married couples ready for students by the spring semester next year.
"There are a lot of things that can change the schedule," he said. "Weather difficulties are our worst problem."
Men students living in the Varsity House, and Templin, McCook and Locksley halls will automatically be moved into new housing when the men's dormitory is completed, he said.
"Of course that depends upon the time of the completion," Mr. Chestnut added. "If it is completed in May we don't expect the men to move just in time to get settled before finals."
The residents of Oread Hall will be given the opportunity to move into the new dormitory if they wish, he said.
If all the men move, the hall will be closed, but if a substantial number remain, the hall will stay open, he said.
Stouffer Place No. 2 will take part of the residents of Sunnyside Apartments, Mr. Chestnut said, and within two years part of Sunnyside will be destroyed.
He said there are no definite plans for the future use of Varsity House or Templin and Locksley halls. (Locksley Hall is the group of five houses now occupied by a fraternity at 1125 Mississippi St.)
The current rate of dormitory building by the University has led many people to believe that eventually all students will be living in University or fraternity and sorority houses, Mr. Chestnut said.
"There will always be a need for community housing," he stated. "Fraternities and sororities are not expected to expand very much and most of the expected increase in enrollment will be left for the University and the community to house.
"The University may catch up with the increase for a couple of years," Mr. Chestnut said, "but the students will come in faster than we can build houses."
The new Lewis and Temple dormitories for men are scheduled to open in the 1959-60 school year. One will open in September, and the other will open in February.
KU Joins Scientific Research Group
KU has joined with 26 other educational and research institutions to form a corporation called the Associated Midwest Universities.
The AMU, a non-profit organization, is established to encourage and carry out research in all scientific fields. Nuclear science will be studied in its relation to the other fields.
443 Write Saturday Test
A total of 443 students took the written Western Civilization examination Saturday afternoon.
James Schellenberg, assistant director of the Western Civilization department, said that two persons will grade each essay and the final grade will be an average of the two results. If extreme differences exist between the two grades, the essays will be graded a third time, he added.
The two objective parts of each examination will not be graded by the same people who graded the essay questions, he said. In this way, each paper will be graded by at least five persons.
If a student has failed the examination after the grading is completed his whole paper will be reviewed again, Mr. Schellenberg said.
The next Western Civilization examination will be on July 26. Students wishing to take this test should register in room 130 in Strong Hall after May 22.
The corporation will make possible the use of the Argonne National Laboratory near Lemont, Ill., for all member institutions. This laboratory is the nation's primary research and development center for peacetime atomic energy uses.
KU has had access to the Argonne laboratory for several years, J. D. Stranathan, professor of physics, said today.
"This is just a formal agreement between the institutions to try to improve on the situation," Prof. Stranathan said.
Raymond F. Nichols, executive secretary to the chancellor, said the arrangement meant that KU could send staff members and students to the laboratory for research on worthwhile projects.
The first president of AMU will be Dr. James H. Jensen, provost at Iowa State. (The position of provost is similar to the position of dean of the university.)
Kansas State, Oklahoma State University and Iowa State College are the other Big Eight schools to join AMU.
