Skitch concert tickets on sale
VETERANS TO TEAM TOGETHER
Skitch Henderson, former conductor of the NBC Tonight Show Orchestra and presently engaged in nationwide personal appearances, will perform at KU at 8 p.m. July 20 in Hoch Auditorium.
Also featured in the concert will be "Doc" Severinsen, trumpet soloist, and drummer Robert Rosengarden, both of the Tonight Show. The three musicians will be backed by a 45-piece professional orchestra.
Henderson's concert will come midway in his July 16-23 stay at the University during which he will be guest conductor for the music camp.
Camp director Russell Wiley explained, "We decided to bring Skitch as a guest conductor for a week and then conceived of a 'Skitch Henderson Night' with 'Doc' and Robert Rosengarden."
Three veterans of the Tonight Show will team together here on July 20 for a concert in Hoch Auditorium. Doc Severinsen (above) and Skitch Henderson (below) will appear with Robert Rosengarden.
Tickets for the concert are being sold at the University Theatre box office, the three Raney drugstores and Bell Music Company in Lawrence. Prices range from $1.50 to $2.50.
Henderson will also appear at the camp's formal dance Saturday, July 23. Related story in Kamper Kansan

Voters to decide on fire protection
By JOE FLANNERY
Lawrence residents will have an opportunity to increase their fire protection when they go to the polls this fall, but meanwhile their insurance rates have spiralled.
A citizens' advisory committee has recommended to the city commission a slate of building projects costing approximately $6.9 million, including the fire protection proposal.
The proposals include the remodelling of the present base station at Eighth and Vermont Streets, the replacement of station no. 2 in the 1800 block on Massachusetts Street with one further south and the building of a third
sub station in the northwest part of the city.
THE COST of the project is estimated at $1,075,000.
But in lieu of the expansion an increase in fire insurance rates by means of surcharge was approved last week by Frank Sullivan, state commissioner of insurance.
The new rates vary depending on the construction and occupancy of the buildings and do not apply to existing policies.
The latest furor in lack of fire protection comes following the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house fire where the $250,000 building was lost because of lack of equipment and water.
FIREMEN WERE on the scene

for about a half hour before sufficient water pressure was built up to adequately fight the blaze. During the fire two of the five pumpers operated by the city became unservicable. One of these can be repaired and the other truck must be retired.
In a little more than a year's time, three other major fires have accounted for more than $2 million damages in Lawrence. These include the Rusty IGA fire in the Hillcrest Shopping Center last spring, the Miller Furniture-Independent Laundry fire last December and the Centenary Methodist Church this February.
Bricker creates excitement
By LARK UNDERWOOD and KATHLEEN STANFIELD
A teacher must get excited about what he is teaching because if he is not then his students cannot become excited.
"THE SECOND idea is to make the subject live—to show the students the relation of the subject to everyday life through examples and demonstrations," the professor of chemistry said.
Those are the feelings of Clark Bricker, a former HOPE award winner who this year received one of three Standard Oil (of Indiana) Distinguished Teaching awards.
"Finally I think what I try to do is demonstrate by means of models as many concepts as possible so the students can understand some of the more difficult concepts in physical science and specifically in chemistry."
Bricker was born June 17, 1918, in Shrewsbury, Penn. He attended West York High School in York, Penn., and went on to Gettysburg College, Getttsburg, Penn., which is a small liberal arts college. He received his bachelor's there in 1939.
His next 13 years were spent at Princeton where he became a full professor. He served as Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences at the College of Wooster before coming to KU in 1963.
THIS WAS followed by a master's degree from Haverford College in 1940 and a doctor's from Princeton University in 1944. He served as a research chemist at the Hayden Chemistry Corporation for three years and then began his teaching career at Johns Hopkins University where he served another three years.
Currently he is in charge of the freshman and sophomore chemistry courses.
The Kansas Inspection Bureau found that since their last inspection in 1961 the city had experienced considerable growth. The Bureau of Engineers found that neither the water system nor the fire department had been expanded to keep abreast with the city's growth.
CURRENTLY THE Lawrence fire department is operating under three pumper trucks and one aerial ladder. Two of the pumpers may be sent to part of Douglas County leaving only one pumper in town under certain instances.
The question has arisen whether or not the University should lend its support to the city since it is
