Sports

To the east 42 miles is Kansas City. This metropolis has a point of interest that is a claim to fame: The Kansas City Athletics.
Being so close to Lawrence, the A's enjoy quite a bit of support here at the Midwestern Music and Art Camp. It seems, however, that this year the good old A's are tearing down the beaten path, heading for last place.
The Washington Senators, long rival of the A's for the distinction of last place, are now $14\frac{1}{2}$ games out of first as opposed to the A's less impressive $13\frac{1}{2}$ games out. However, one can be sure that the A's will be in there, losing their share and more, to make sure there will be "Kelly green and gold" in the 10th place this year.
EXAMINING THE A'S lack of success this year, one can easily see the reason in the disappointing performance of the stellar young group of pitchers on the team. "Jumbo" Jim Nash, who burned up the league in the second half of last year's season with a 12-1 record, this year is lagging and has only a 9-7 record. Lew Krausse, another bright prospect, is floundering with an exceptionally bad record of 4-11.
Young sluggers came to the A's this year, in the form of Ramon Webster and Rick Monday. Webster is now hanging on to a barely respectable .265 batting average, and Monday is down to .244. Regular veterans Danny Cater, Dick Green, and Phil Roof are doing even worse than that.
For all of you who are A's fans, it's going to be a rather sad year. But then again, it's not every team that gets the chance to be in last place.
Etiquette Lacking at Music Camp Concert
By BEA BARTH
Every week the Music Division presents five concerts for the public's enjoyment. However, the public cannot enjoy the concerts as fully as is possible. This is not because the musicians are not performing their best. It is because some members of the audience do not know the proper behavior expected during a concert.
Speech Class To Compete
The camp Speech Division will hold a tournament, with over 90 students competing in 10 areas. The tournament is scheduled for Saturday, July 22, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Lindley Hall.
Speech students are required to enter at least two events. The events to be covered are: extemporaneous speaking, duet acting, dramatic interpretation, humorous interpretation, poetry, informative speaking, original oratory, and three divisions of debate. The events will be judged by several teachers assisted by graduate students of the speech department.
The debate finals will be Monday, July 24, at 1:30 p.m. at Templin Hall. The three debate divisions are beginning, advanced Kansas, and advanced national.
Bobby Patton, head of the Speech Division, invites all interested campers to attend the tournament or debate finals.
Girls' Sports in Second Round
The first round of tournaments in the girls' ping-pong and tennis ended last Friday.
The winners of these sets will enter the second round. The competition will continue in both sports until those who have remained victorious meet in the final playoffs the last week of camp.
The lists of competitors are posted in the first floor lobby of the girls' dorms.
"Clapping between movements is very discourteous to the musician," says Howard Boyajan, director of the string section. "It also disrupts the unity and feeling of the whole symphony."
The audience usually can recognize a movement of a symphony simply by referring to the program. Also, the conductor will not lower his hands after a movement.
"I THINK the most important thing is just to be quiet." Boyajian said. "It is very distracting to other persons for someone to talk, rustle paper, or fidget in their seat.
"Arriving on time is also very important. A person should never enter while music is being played. It is best to wait until that selection is over, then quietly enter. On the other hand, a person should never leave in the middle of a piece."
IF CHILDREN attend the concert, it is best to separate them with a parent or another adult. This eliminates horseplay and an adult is near if the child wishes to ask a question. Children also enjoy the concert more if they are given preliminary knowledge of the music. They can then understand what they are hearing.
The quality of the performance is reflected by the audience's behavior. Applause is expected after each selection, but whistling or shouting is considered to be rude. If the performance is good, the person should remain at least through the first encore. A good performance deserves polite conduct.
A concert presents a rather formal atmosphere. Therefore, no one should wear sporty clothes. Church clothes are most commonly worn and are always considered proper dress.
"Children under four should not be taken to a concert," Boyajian said. "They are too young to understand the music. It is also hard to keep them quiet and this is very distracting to the musicians and the audience."
Hopscotch Committee Founded
By MATT KUBIK
"The Committee on Sidewalk Study" meets across from Oliver Hall after every meal and in the evenings. Here members can be seen hopping between squares while playing the serious game of Hopscotch.
The day was wet, but during a short break between showers the group was again outside competing against one another. The drizzle had nearly washed the chalk off the sidewalk, but they decided to play anyway on the faded chart.
A TALL, thin blond art camper dominated the Hopscotch playing field as usual. Chris T. Johnson, Lincoln, Neb., is president and club champion. He has beaten every other member of the club in competition.
"Hopseotch is an adult game," says Johnson. "Little kids really don't play the game very well, because their motor skills aren't developed enough. The game is very athletic; it builds up the leg and ankle muscles and requires a fine sense of balance."
The club was founded by Jeff Kurzweil, a three-week journalism camper from Bergenfield, N.J. The club members have designed an emblem and have called their meetings "scotch-ins." While waiting for their turns they usually lie on the grass and listen to records, radio or indulge in other activities.
Chess Rates Well at Camp
Chess has always been popular, and it rates high in camp, as proved by the 45 participants in the camp chess tourney. Thirty-six boys and nine girls signed up for the tournament which started July 6 and will end July 27.
A schedule has been posted in the Templin Hall lounge. If you signed up for the tournament, be sure to check the schedule to see who your opponent is. It is up to the contestant to contact opponents and play the games before the deadline.
As soon as games are played, report the results as well as names and room numbers to the Ellsworth Hall camp desk. Results will be posted the next day.
If there are any questions about the chess tournament, contact David Rullen, 332 Ellsworth.
This expansion, to be completed within a year, will enable the bookstore to move all books except textbooks into the planned addition.
The Kansas Union Bookstore has been expanding its stock to prepare for an addition at the northwest corner of the Union Building.
Bookstore Prepares For Union Expansion
By DORIS BOLINGER
The number of titles carried in non-textbooks, which is now 20,000, will increase by 50 per cent.
James Stoner, bookstore manager, said their main goal at the bookstore is "to continue to develop it and expand the facilities to grow with the students."
