The Column
By Mike O'Hara and Mike Holder
Continuing in the dubious tradition of columns by sports editors, we present this journalistic masterpiece. We would like to acknowledge the aid given to us in writing this column by the University Summer Session Kansan's ace troubleshooter, Jon Block. Anything in this column that you may find incorrect, inaccurate, prejudiced or just disagreeable—Jon wrote!
THE KING AND queen program produced at least one great campaign effect; that of cleaning up all the litter on campus. They just picked it up and stuck it on the nearest wall.
We would like to take this opportunity to commend the journalism students on the tremendous job they did in taking KUOK over for five hairraising hours. Word has it that Coke sales on Campus have more than doubled since the station has left the air.
THE TENNIS tournament has really had rousing support. One of the more skillful or more persuasive players managed to get all the way to the semifinals on defaults.
Two North of Templin, thinking that they have been lacking competition, challenged any all-star team to a basketball game. It was reported that a YWCA team accepted the challenge, but was denied a game. It seems that after the 2-northers saw the girls in action, they picked up their purses and ran.
THE VOLLEYBALL tournament has had all the excitement of a well played chess match, as wing teams match forfeit against forfeit in their race to the top. The only question mark in competition now is which team will crack first in the championship match.
The surviving basketball teams' games seem to have decreased in quality; for most of the starting players on the teams have been put out of action by the post in the middle of Robinson gym.
AS WE SEE all the names of the science campers and their accomplishments enblazoned on every poster, we wonder, "what price glory?"
We would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, since we will not be seeing any of you over the holidays. By the way, Holder lives in Kansas City, Stone in Beloit, Kansas, and O'Hara in Rochester (Minn.), so if you want to drop us a little gift, "we're in the book."
Variety of Sports Offered to Campers
By Dave Stone
Basketball, chess, ping-pong, tennis, volleyball—these are the athletic groups that surround the campers at the Midwestern Music and Art Camp.
"These sports give the camper every opportunity to take full advantage of all the recreational facilities on the camp grounds," said recreation director Mr. Darrell Nelson.
Wing activities give the camper the chance to take part in team games. The spirit of competition shines through here with probably the greatest amount of fury. To see tough, inspired competition on the basketball slab behind Templin is reminiscent of a key game in a high school league.
VOLLEYBALL CAN BE the scene of fiery action, as the teams with the tallest men always seem to have a distinct advantage over shorter teams.
Ping-pong, tennis, and chess are the sports in which the campers can excel individually. These sports are for the campers who have not quite the time or the desire to practice with their teammates, but who would rather compete by themselves.
Some campers have expressed their desire for some more activities to be introduced next year for the campers. A popular sport that many campers play and feel should have a tournament is the intriguing game of bridge. Whether for just fun, or
TOUCH FOOTBALL or any adaptation of the game has been said by some to be very popular, though Mr. Nelson said "the difficult part of this would be the establishment of a game, no matter how safe or practical it was, with a name that has the word 'football,' attached to it."
master points, this game could easily be promoted and introduced to the camp, they feel.
Unfortunately, the University of Kansas and the city of Lawrence cannot provide swimming facilities with any amount of adequate capacity," said Mr. Herbert Duncan, camp administrator.
Probably no other sport has the support of all the camp. Some just swim to relieve the hot Kansas sun, while others take an active part in competitive swimming.
Undoubtedly, the camp will provide adequate swimming facilities in the future, and with this swimming competition will eventually come about. Many campers compete actively on their school swimming teams, and to go six weeks without proper or consistent swimming facilities is not in the best interests of training, some feel.
ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, the campers feel that the athletic program has been excellent. Even the most unathletic person has an opportunity to participate in the various sports.

Campers Aid In Setup of Recreation
Ever wonder who arranges your tournament games, keeps your wing's interest high and unites your wing's recreation program, besides keeping up diligently with his own studies?
Well, these are all the responsibilities of the "moonlighting" recreation chairman, a post created this year by Darrell Nelson. the camp's recreational, social, and religious head, to help coordinate activities between wings. Typical of all these wing directors is Willie James Nunnery, a serious science student from Hammond, La., and a resident of third floor, north.
BUT WILLIE UNDERRATED his job. "Mr. Nelson has the recreation program set up tremendously, therefore the duties of the recreational chairman are very simple. The only serious problem is setting up all the events."
Although other wing chairmen may disagree Willie thought the "spirit of cooperation" among the campers was excellent.
He also offered some suggestions which he and other chairmen thought would improve the program. Among those he mentioned were: more meetings with the supervisor, probably about three times a session; an all-star team in each major sport; officials for each game; and standardized national rules for each game.
Boys' Athletics End in Flurry
BUT HIS MOST provocative idea was that of having separate recreational programs for the divisions. He thought that some divisions had more studying than others and separate programs would facilitate scheduling and alieviate other related problems.
The other recreation chairmen are Steve Lucas, 2 north; Jim Bredfelt, 3 south; Richard Ulatoski, 4 south; Bill Moses, 4 north; Frank Bibb, 5 south; Barry Buchle, 5 north; Harold Keen, 6 south; Joe Conroy, 6 north; and Burt Stoeker, 7 north.
Champions in all tournament divisions have been crowned as recreational competition for 1965 Midwest Music and Art Camp comes to a close.
At press time, most of the major outdoor divisions: basketball, volleyball, tennis, and softball, have completed their semi-final matches and will have their respective winners crowned. But here's a rundown on all championship play.
In basketball, a veteran 2 North squad will meet an underdog 3 South team in the finals. North, led by Steve Lucus and Brent Waldron, returns from last year's championship team, has run up tremendous scores in coasting through to the final round, beating 6 north, 89-14, and then blasting 5 north, 77-28.
On the other hand, 3 south had a much tougher time, slipping by 4 south first, 44-40, and then 3 north, 34-30. But the sharp-shooting South team, led by Steve Smith, will definitely pose a problem for 2 north.
In Volleyball, 2 north has also reached the finals, with victories over 7 north and 3 north. They will again meet 3 south in the final match.

Youthful Stars Invade Campus
All of us have probably come in contact with some camper from each of the other six divisions at one time or another in our tenure here. But how many of us know of the athletic talent hidden in these same divisions?
IN A BRIEF SURVEY conducted in Templin dormitory, four boys were found who had received notable recognition in their respective sports.
Two of the campers, Steve Lucas,
Lebanon, Indiana, and Richard Wotoski,
Kingsville, Texas, received full
athletic scholarships; Lucas for basketball at KU, and Wotoski for football at Texas A&I.
THE OTHER TWO CAMPERS Brent Waldron, Denison, Iowa, and Mike Sjeklhohe of Indianola, Iowa, received all-conference and all-state honors. Waldron was named all-southwest Iowa his junior year and all-conference his senior year—both for basketball. Sjeklhohe was named all-conference halfback his senior year. Both these boys will be back at KU next year, but as students instead of science campers.
Besides these examples, there are many other athletes destined for "stardom" in their various sports. So the next time you cross the campus, look around—there is talent hidden amidst you.
reached the finals with victories over Tom Scammon, Gary Lemmon and David Smith; and Hill with victories over Gene Burlison, Eric Avery, and Brent Waldron.
Softball play finds ubiquitous 2 north playing against either 6 south or 3 north. North has combined forfeits and a 10-4 victory over 3 South in advancing to the finals, while the two semi-finalists were scheduled to play their first game Tuesday.
From an original total of 55 boys, the ping pong tournament has reached semi-final stage, with only 3 boys remaining. Rob Colwell is a finalist, having beaten Steve West in the semil's. The other two boys, Jim Hedrick and Randy Porter, will clash in a semi-final match to decide who will go up against Colwell.
But ping pong is not the only activity where competition runs high. The chess tournament has proceeded as far as the semi-finals where Jim Pierce will meet either Glen Lindwall or Randy Porter.
Pierce advanced to the finals by upsetting favored Mike Terrin in the semi-finals. Terrin defeated Walter Stromquist in the quarter-finals. To get to the semi-finals, Lindwall defeated Ken Hickin and Porter beat Clark Wall.

In bowling, the axioms edged the petunias, 10-2 and 9-3 to grab first place in the camp class "A" bowling league, while the ball busters captured the class "B" title.
For the axioms, Steve Smith has been the leading keegler, posting a 145 average. He's backed up by Larry Yeager, with a 140 average, Anita Wicke, 124, Glen Lindwall, 121, Kathy Martin, 97, and Aileen Buie, 85.
The ball busters continued their mastery over the hurricanes and pin busters as they ended the season with a 9-3 won-lost record. The second place hurricanes posted a 7-5 record, followed by the pin bursets with an even 6-6 log. The ball busters were paced by Olden Ball's 142 average, Jim Clark's 131, Mary Wandmaker's 122, John Zimmerman, 90, and Phyllis Pigges, 87.
Science Camp Sports
Every Saturday morning, between twenty and forty science campers gather in front of Robinson Gym and begin their weekly voluntary athletic program.
DR. DELBERT SHANKEL, head of the camp science division organized these activities for science students, and has Glenn Martin directing the athletics.
