Freshman camp set
Freshmen at KU will have a unique opportunity this year— that of participating in the first KU-Y Freshman Camp.
The camp, to take place October 8 and 9 at Camp Santosage near Independence, Mo., will combine the better attributes of an orientation session, a guidance counseling session, a weekend study group, and a recreational retreat, said Don Beahm, Great Bend senior and co-chairman of the planning committee.
BEAHM EXPLAINED the purpose of the camp as giving the incoming freshman a chance to associate with other freshmen and with selected upperclass counselors and faculty. "We've been working on the program for more than a year now and hope to have something for everyone who goes," he said.
"The success or failure of the program here may have an effect on whether the program is tried at other Kansas schools," Beahm said. "We already know of successful camps at Nebraska, Missouri, and Colorado."
Beahm's enthusiasm for his program has been met with the enthusiasm of those freshmen who have already applied, he said. "We are also extending the deadline to 7 p.m. Tuesday."
THE PROGAM is it stands will include a speech by Aldon Bell, assistant dean of the college. He will talk about what the college expects of students, and what students should expect of college and of themselves.
A panel titled "Will college change my attitudes or values" is scheduled for the afternoon of Saturday, Oct. 8. Beahm said the planning committee has scheduled it to present varied points of view. The Rev. John R. Simmons, co-director of the United Campus Christian Fellowship; Howard Baumgartel, professor of human relations; and Delbert Shankel, associate professor of microbiology, will be the panelists.
"We hope to get a discussion going after the panelists make their presentations. We plan to postpone dinner if necessary to give the freshmen a chance to talk to these men," Beahm said.
Beahm said the Freshman Camp at KU is sponsored entirely by the KU-Y. At other institutions it is sponsored by either the administration, the YM-YWCA group, or jointly. There was an attempted Freshman Camp last year, but there were too many conflicts and had to be canceled, Beahm said.
Private funds will finance KSU stadium
Plans to privatey finance a new 34,000-seat stadium costing $1.5 million are in formation at Kansas State University.
The athletic council recommended that construction of the stadium begin possibly as soon as October, 1967, so that completion will correspond with the first football game of 1968.
The stadium, to be located northwest of the campus, will be an excavation-type concrete structure. This type of construction will considerably reduce the cost of the structure, as opposed to above-ground, frame-type design such as KU's stadium.
James A. McCain, president of K-State, said that means of financing the project are now being debated and that the Board of Regents must approve all aspects of the project.
Student fees were recommended last year by athletic officials as "the most feasible" means of raising funds, but students objected.
