SCENE REHEARSAL—Dori Aldrich and Ken Young rehearse a scene in which Miss Aldrich plays the part of a prostitute luring a 17-year-old, Young, into drinking and indulging in sin. All the theater campers perform in a scene taken from different plays. The reason: some campers wouldn't get to be on the stage because the production they produced is not big enough to include everyone. The scenes are only about 15 minutes long, and they are purely for practice.—(Photo by Hugh Tessendorf.)
Major Changes Few at Library
By Dave Stone
"We have had no major changes here at the library since September of 1964," Donald A. Redmond, assistant director of the Watson library, said.
"Of course," Mr. Redmond continued, "we have made some minor changes in the past weeks, such as new furniture and shelving in the East Asia room."
LAST YEAR at this time, the library was undergoing more major changes. The most significant change has been the control desk as one leaves the building.
This was installed to make it easier for both the people who use the library and also the librarians. The man behind the desk double-checks the dates of the books, making sure that no error is made that could complicate the return of the book. At some universities—like Wichita State—the books are checked out by the checker at the desk, but at the larger Watson center, the checker serves another purpose.
"Our only complication so far has been right before closing, when a long line usually forms, but this is where the use of a skilled man behind the desk becomes evident," Redmond said.
"AT FIRST this caused some confusion and some unhappiness, but it has worked out excellently, we feel," he added.
Redmond said that one new development for the library is a gain of 10 new staff members. With these 10 coming in the next few weeks, the total staff of Watson library will number 92-and-a-half.
Of these 92-and-a-half, nearly 50 are professional librarians. To be classified as a professional librarian, a person must have a master's degree. All the librarians are under the supervision of the University, and receive their checks from the state.
Hard Work Is Routine for Music Students
By Mike Holder
After almost six weeks at camp most of the music campers have agreed that this is the most work they have ever done on their instruments and voices. One camper admitted that "in one day I have done more work than I usually do at home in a week."
In the average day the music students who are in the band and orchestra or orchestra and choir possibly the band, orchestra, and choir start at 8 and finish at 5.30. During this time they may have full rehearsals, lessons, sectionals, theory or conducting class.
THE WEEKLY concerts form the work schedule of the students for the week. If they have especially hard numbers they naturally have to practice longer and harder during the week. Maybe certain sections have the toughest part and it is necessary for them to have an extra sectional during the week.
Many students spend two or more hours a day in the practice rooms, and it is not unusual in the least to find every practice room in Murphy occupied at 8 o'clock at night.
Marvin E. Arth of Cincinnati, 1951 graduate of KU, lawyer for the past five years, and veteran of both newspaper work and radio and television newseasting, will be news adviser of the University Daily Kansan next year. He also will teach courses in reporting and editing.
By listening to the concerts each Sunday it is easy to tell that all the work these students have done was worth it. Even though the first concert was excellent it is noticed by practically everyone that each week the choirs are singing music that is harder and the bands and orchestra are playing music that is more difficult and that they are still doing a fine job.
Kansan Adviser Named for Year
Burton W. Marvin, who is leaving his post as dean of the William Allen White School of Journalism in August, said Arth will hold the title of "lecturer in journalism" under the one-year appointment.
MANY STUDENTS have commented on the "great" guest conductors that the camp has provided for their learning experiences and profit. They feel that this has been one of the "best learning experiences" they have had at the camp, since it has given them an insight on what a professional career in music would mean to them.
He will replace John DeMott, assistant professor of journalism, who will be working on his doctor's degree in journalism at the Medill School of Journalism, Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.
Arth is 35, married and the father of two. He worked for the Salina Journal for a year after his graduation, and then for the Cincinnati Times-Star until 1958.
From 1958 to 1960 Arth was news director for station WCPO-TV in Cincinnati. He then obtained his law degree from the Chase School of Law in Cincinnati. He was an Ohio assistant attorney general from 1960-63 and was head of the news staff of station WKRC-TV, Cincinnati, in 1963-64.
Arth will return as adviser to the same paper of which he was editor in his senior year. His appointment becomes effective Sept. 1.
Call Is Expensive
BUNGAY, England — (UPD)—Mrs. Mary Debenham's four-penny 5 cent call to a friend may have actually cost her up to 6,000 pounds, $16,800. One of the pennies she put in the telephone box was a 1333 coin—a collector's piece. Her husband put the coin aside to have it valued but forgot to tell his wife.
Racial-Religious Ticket Is Assembled by Lindsay
By Lyle Wilson United Press International
United Press International In the capital city of civil rights, a Republican politician named John V. Lindsay has put together a ticket which he will head as a candidate for mayor of New York City.
The racial discrimination implicit in John Lindsay's mayoral ticket in New York City is another element of the vast and rapidly accumulating evidence that rural America and the great urban areas are growing apart rather than together. Their interests oppose.
In this era of absolute integration imposed by federal law, Lindsay picked his running mates on the discredited basis of race and religion. You pick 'em that way in New York or you get licked.
Lindsay's ticket is described as balanced. It consists of a Republican Protestant, a Liberal party Roman Catholic and a Democratic Jew. This ticket is not merely balanced racially and religiously. It is balanced politically as well.
THE CANDIDATES in addition to Lindsay are Dr. Timothy W. Costello, Liberal Party state chairman and a Roman Catholic, candidate for president of the city council, and Milton Mollen, a Democrat and a Jew who is candidate for controller.
No Negro is represented on this slate for the top three offices in New York City. But there will be a Negro candidate for the office of borough president of Manhattan.
IT IS REASONABLE to assume now that the cull between New York City and William Allen White's Emporia, Kan., is as great or greater today than in the closing years of the 19th Century when White established his immortal Gazette.
At least it could have been said when White opened his print shop that there was a real political bond between most of White's fellow townsmen and a great many inhabitants of New York City. They were members of the same political lodge, the Republican party.
Times have changed so that a Kansas Republican today scarcely is even a kissin' cousin of a New York Republic.
LINDSAY IS FAIRLY typical of New York Republicans and he scarcely is a Republican at all. It will be observed that he seeks the mayoralty as a fusion candidate in company with a Democrat and a left winger liberal and not as a Republican.
Republican Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller is hardly in the mainstream of Republican principles as the Midwest understands them. Republican U.S. Senator Jacob K. Javits is the party's best New York state votergetter but hardly a model of Midwestern Republicanism.
The rural counties, coast to coast, are losing their political muscle by order of the Supreme Court which compels reapportionment of state legislatures. But the Republicans were cut down in the great Missouri, Mississippi and Ohio River basins by more natural causes—the decline of agriculture as a political force.
BEFORE LONG, no doubt, the farm vote will have become a memory comparable to the Anti-Saloon League. At that point racial and religious considerations will become wholly dominant in U.S. politics with the big city egalitarians running the national show.
