SLIPPERY WHEN WET!
The side of the Roosevelt fountain in Central Park on Mass. Street proved a precarious perch for this frolicking youngster. He was one of group of six of so children who forsook propriety for a cooling dip in the fountain during one of the recent muqoo days.
Camp awards given; Wiley pledges dorm
By Margaret Ogilvie
Outstanding students in the eight divisions of Midwestern Music and Art Camp were recognized at a camp meeting Tuesday in Hoch Auditorium. The high schoolers will leave Sunday after a final round of events this weekend.
"HANSEL AND GRETEL," a play written by Joseph Veneroso, Amsterdam, N.Y., an outstanding German student, was presented by his division last night in Strong Auditorium. Each of the other top German students also was recommended by camp instructors: Carol Bowman, Boulder, Colo.; Jane Barry, Lewiston, N.Y.; Barbara Bush, Plainfield, N.J.; Jill Kendall, Norman, Okla., and Frances Sierra, Bovina, Tex.
Camp Director Russell L. Wiley was assisted by departmental directors in doing the honors. He concluded the program by promising a third air-conditioned dormitory to house an anticipated enrollment of 1,500 to 1,600 next summer.
WILEY ALSO predicted a doubled enrollment in the junior high music camp when it is moved from Corbin Hall to a larger, cooler dorm for the 1967 season.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR STINSON
named outstanding speaker in the speech division's preliminary debate tournament. Recognized for overall superior work in individual forensic activities were Debbie Hyler, Parsons; poetry; Cherry Smith, McCook, Neb., prose, and Faye Van Vleck, Topeka, extemporaneous speaking. Another student will be recognized for oratory, and a debate team will win the final tournament today.
FOUR GIRLS and two boys were selected from the art division "mainly for their ability and because they were leaders who set an example for others by hard work and good attendance," said Arvid Jacobson, co-director. Each instructor named four girls and two boys in each of his classes, and each art camper chose one girl and one boy by ballot. An honor roll will be posted tomorrow in Murphy's Recital Hall.
He survives, despite blasts

Rebecca Best, Beaumont, Tex,
was named the outstanding girl,

Norwalk, Conn.; Karen Thompson,
Hannibal, Mo., and Barbara
Shanklin, Kansas City, Mo.
Outstanding boy was Neil Shapiro,
Kansas City, Mo., and runner-up
was Selan Hall Jr., Stillwell,
Okla. Each was given an art book
from the Kansas Union Book-
store.
In his two years as director of intercollegiate athletics at KU, Wade Stinson has been the object of a number of public controversies. He has been hanged and burned in effigy on the front lawn of Strong Hall, criticized in the national press, and taken to task in numerous Kansas editorials.
The event that preceded most of the public furor was the firing of Bill Easton, KU's phenomenally successful track coach, in the spring of 1965. Since Easton's dismissal was connected with his supposed problems in staying within the track budget, the scrapping of KU's wrestling team in the spring of 1966, "for financial reasons," had the effect of gasoline on the still smoldering embers of editorial and sports pages.
As the chief administrator of the Athletic Corporation, Stinson is
nced with problems that are somewhat different than those of other administration officials.
ALTHOUGH HE was wearing a crimson-and-blue Jayhawk necktie with a KU clasp, he refrained from any of the back-slapping and "How's the family" routines.
AS A RESULT, STINSON has unofficially been labeled by the press as a human cash register and assigned to a position somewhere between Jack Mitchell and Dean Emily Taylor on the prevailing bad-guy lists.
Having read a great deal about Wade Stinson, I naturally held a number of pre-conceived notions of what the man was like, based on what has been written about him. As I walked into his office in Allen Field House, I was disappointed to find that what I had expected was not there.
"This is a financially separate corporation," said Stinson, "yet we are controlled by the University. We have to operate on what we take in, so we have to watch finances. If we don't handle ourselves in a business-like manner,
we'll find ourselves ending up in the red, and no one backs us up. We're on our own."
HE CONTINUED. "It is most gratifying to see young men in athletics, along with their coaches, perform in a manner in which they can be proud and a manner in which the University can be proud.

Elissa and Pamela Parker, Waterloo, Iowa, had the winning designs for the front and back covers of LP recordings made this year at the music division's concerts. They each received six of the records, and Shapiro, as runner-up, received three.
TACY WEIDMAN, Lawrence, and David Cook, Wichita, the outstanding girl and boy musicians, each received an anonymous gift of $50 toward college educations. A medal from Phi Mu Alpha, music fraternity, was engraved with his name and presented to David.
Best in the advanced theory classes of the music division were Heidi Kuglin, Bern; Nancy Rinne, Bern; Coy Lea Rose, DeSoto; Larry Baker, Poteau, Okla., and Carol Brewer, Elmo. Leading elementary theorists were Alice McBride, Mt. Carroll, Ill.; Cathy Morrison, Robinson, Ill.; Phillip Speary, Wichita; Judy Stuckey, Pittsburg, and Ralph Thomas, Fredonia.
Other top musicians, selected by instrument, were James Barnes,
Outstanding in the journalism division's six-week session was Annie Reid, Ridgefield, Conn. Vicki Asbury, Leavenworth, led fellow campers in the first three-week unit, and Patsy Palmer, Fulton, Mo., those in the second three-week group.
The examination consists of four parts: two essay sections, short answer, and multiple choice. Scores on the spring exam were lower than usual in the short answer section, but better in the multiple choice, Powers said.
Eight o'clock Saturday morning is the time long awaited (and dreaded) by many KU students scheduled to take the Western Civilization comprehensive examination.
Western Civ to be taken Saturday
The test scores should be available in about a week.

WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT...
A group of aspiring young artists, not music and art campers they carefully informed the photographer, gathered at the Chi Omega fountain to polish their sketching form.
