Band Camp crowd hits KU,2000 strong
Almost 2,000 high school students moved into Ellsworth, Lewis, Templin and Oliver Halls Sunday to open the 20th Annual Midwestern Music and Art Camp.
All of the young people are freshmen to seniors. They will be participating in camp divisions including Spanish and Latin, which are new this year; German, music, speech, journalism, art, ballet, and science and mathematics.
THE EXACT enrollment number quavered right at the 2,000 mark for the Senior High division. There were an additional 379 members in the Junior High Division, which concluded its two-week run Sunday.
Last year total enrollment in both divisions of the camp stood at 1,650—then a record. This year's enrollment is almost a 50 percent increase from last year.
A full camp concert schedule will open Sunday, June 25, and continue each Sunday until July 30. There will be choir and orchestra concerts at 2:30 p.m. each Sunday and symphonic and concert appearances at 7:30 p.m. All

Pickett receives Standard award
"If an outstanding teacher in journalism is to be honored, he certainly deserves the recognition. . . ."
"I consider him one of the four or five leading journalism historians in the count.y today. . ."
"The breadth and depth of his intellect are striking . . ."
The plaudits attesting to the abilities of Calder M. Pickett, professor of journalism were written by students, faculty, alumni and journalism educators across the nation. They're a major reason Pickett was chosen to receive a Standard Oil Company (Indiana) Foundation award for teaching excellence during KU's commencement exercises this month.
FICKETT AND two other professors each received $1,000 awards.
A Kansas faculty member since 1951, Pickett served on the news staffs of the Deseret News and Salt Lake City Tribune before coming to Lawrence. Since then he has worked summers on the
Topeka Daily Capital and the Kansas City Star.
He holds the bachelor's degree from Utah State University, 1944, the master's from Northwestern University, 1948, and the Ph.D. in American studies from the University of Minnesota, 1959.
Pickett's philosophy of journalism education involves acquainting students with American civilization as well as teaching them to write stories, read copy and write headlines.
AS ONE former student wrote: "I had political science and history professors who knew a great deal about their fields, but in Pickett I encountered a journalism professor who was aware and involved not only in journalism, but also political science, history, music, literature and art.
"Here, it seemed, was an individual consciously developing the 'whole man,' the student concluded."
Letters written supporting Dr. Pickett's nomination for the award were full of praise such as this.
"HE HAS ALL the attributes of
a good teacher plus that something extra", wrote an alumnus.
"I have studied at three universities, but no where along the line of my academic career have I encountered a man as dedicated
CALDER M. PICKETT
and talented as Calder Pickett," another alumnus wrote.
And still another termed Dr. Pickett's teaching "inspiring, challenging, stimulating and enjoyable."
Pickett conducts classes in Western Civilization and American studies as well as in journalism.
WELL-KNOWN as a journalism historian, he recently completed a soon - to be - published book on Ed Howe, a longtime editor of the Atchison Globe.
He writes frequent newspaper book reviews —almost regularly for the Kansas City Star—and is the new book review editor of the Journalism Quarterly, a research publication in journalism and mass communication.
Clark Bricker, professor of chemistry, and Don W. Green, assistant professor of chemical engineering, also received the Standard Award, and Lynn H. Nelson, assistant professor of history, received the H. Bernerd Fink award. Personality sketches of these men will appear in succeeding issues of the Summer Session Kansan.
