Ballet Artists To Perform At Concerts
On Saturday, July 31, a flare of beautiful colors and graceful dancers will appear on the stage in the University Theatre. This will be the ballet concert closing the 1965 ballet camp.
Friday, July 30, 1965
Directing the dancers this year have been Mrs. Marguerite Reed, ballet mistress and choreographer with the Tulsa Opera Ballet Company, and Larry Long, guest artist, choreographer and teacher with Ruth Page's Chicago Opera Ballet.
EACH DANCER IS PRESENTED on a professional level displaying all types of dances. This year all the dancers were given an equal amount of work and each in effect is worthy of solo work. The ballet division actually does a year's work in six weeks and therefore the concert will represent many different musical and choreographical stages. Mrs. Reed and Mr. Long will both participate in the concert.
Chez J. Haehl, assistant professor ef speech, drama, and theatre, is the head of the costumes for the performance. All types of costumes will be presented from Spanish flamenco to gypsy, Early American to contemporary, and the main classical look. Each dancer will appear interesting and effective.
THE CHOIR WILL PARTICIPATE in the opening ballet, a la Baroque, Larry Long is the choreographer for this dance and Bach, Handel, and Mozart are the composers. Gerald M. Carney will direct the music for the concert.
Mr. Long and Mrs. Reed are the co-choreographers for La Plus Que Lente and Soiure Militaire. Mrs. Reed will direct Der Rosenkavalier, Beautiful Galatea, Rhapsody, Americana, and Reverence; and Mr. Long, Incredible Magician, l'Image, and the Square Root of Six.
THIS PERFORMANCE will be taped for television and handled through Tulsa, Okla. This is mainly for educational purposes.
Jonathan Block Mad Reviewer Strikes Again
By Jonathan Block
It was uninspired, mechanical, and even lousy. Their voice control was bad, and I've heard better DJ's on "talk shows." If Eric Sevareid had heard the newscasts, he would have retired from newcasting and would have concentrated on writing comic books. When the Journalism Division seized radio station KUOK on July 20, General Sarnoff cringed.
Our guest conductor, Gene Boomer, did a fine job, but when we needed him (when we had five minutes to ad lib) he just laughed. I should say that he cackled, rolled in the aisles, roared. Funny fellow, that Gene Boomer. What a warped sense of humor!
BUT ONE HAS to admit, it was a swinging five hours, highlighted by such singers as Robert Merrill leading our salute to the "Rolling Stones." But the log was the most fun of all: let the FCC try and read it!
The only thing that saved the poor God-forsaken Journalism Division from being laughed out of camp was that the movie "Lust for Life" was being shown in the Templin Cafeteria, and the majority of campers smartly left their radios in their rooms. Long live Vincent Van Gogh!
All campers are required to move out of their respective dorms one day after their classes have ended, unless special permission from the supervisors has been given.
SMILES FROM ALL—Camp Queen Polly Gamble is congratulated by Liz Harris as Steve Smith, King candidate, looks on.
Formal Dance Rounds Out Successful Summer
After four days of campaigning, Mike Sjeklocha and Polly Gamble were crowned King and Queen of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp last Saturday night at the camp's formal dance.
The king and queen candidates were nominated earlier that week by their fellow campers from each wing in the two dorms. Each wing then started campaigns for their candidate.
Mike Sjeiklocha, Indianola, Iowa, is a science apprentice in mathematics. He is also an athlete, participating in football, basketball, baseball, and the hurdles in track. Mike plans to major in biochemistry at KU next year and to later study medicine. Upon completing his medical training, Mike plans to go into medical research.
This year marks the second year that Polly Gamble has been part of the music division. She has taken two years of voice lessons, 12 years of piano, and nine years of organ.
Polly is participating in choir, piano, and organ this summer. She also finds camp very enjoyable and feels it is one of the best opportunities available to high school students to fill their summers.
Mike Sjekloka had excellent backing by his fellow apprentices. He not only used effective posters, but also a public address system to gain votes.
The dance itself was a great success with music provided by the counselors and campers. The counselors' dance band started the dance out with some very good dance music, and were relieved later by the campers' band who played for the remainder of the night until the king and queen were crowned. After the coronation recorded music was used
Refreshments were served and the campers, who came out in full force, seemed to enjoy the dance and the music.

Wiley conducted the evening's program and concluded it with congratulating all campers for their devotion to their particular fields of endeavor.
Science Campers Develop Interests in Many Areas
gram. They will stay eight weeks, from June 13 to August 7, and were students last year.
Commencement exercises marked the close of the tenth annual University of Kansas Science and Mathematics Camp. During the past six weeks science campers were allowed time for considerable development of their interests and knowledge in specific areas of science of his own choosing.
The first week of camp was spent in experimenting in eight scientific areas: sociology, microbiology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, physiology, radiation biophysics, and zoology. Each of these areas was explored and demonstration lectures were heard.
THEN, AT THE end of the first week each camper chose two scientific areas in which he concentrated for the remaining five weeks of the session. The student spent approximately ten hours per week in lectures and laboratory or field work in each of his two chosen courses.
The science camper could be seen all over the campus during his six weeks stay because classes were held in various buildings. Such buildings as Malott Hall, Snow Hall, Strong Hall, Dyche Museum, Haworth, and the Nuclear Reactor Center were occupied by the young scientists.
AT THE COMMENCEMENT exercises the top student in each class was given a grant to come back as an apprentice to a research scientist on the staff of the University of Kansas next summer. The scientific area may be the student's own choosing. This summer there were twenty-five participants in the apprentice pro-
