Campus Talent '67 selects KU students
Seven KU students—three individual acts—have been selected to participate in Southwestern Bell's statewide television presentation, "Campus Talent 67."
Fifty acts auditioned Feb. 19 and were judged by John Stainbrook of Corinthian Special Productions, the filming agent. Stainbrook said that probably 13 acts chosen from 23 Kansas universities and colleges would be included in the program, due for screening next summer.
THE WINNERS were notified of their choice by mail last Friday and Saturday. They are Pat Royse, Lawrence senior; Cindy Brown, Lawrence senior, and a jazz quintet, the Finn-Am Five, headed by Chuck Berg, Leawood graduate student and Lee Barnett, Glen Elder junior.
Miss Brown, a mezzo-sporano who auditioned with the Habenera from "Carmen," is majoring in voice and plans to become a professional singer. She was recently one of four winners of the Metropolitan Opera district auditions held in Kansas City, Mo. The youngest singer present, she was eliminated in regional competition in Tulsa.
"Needless to say, I was very, very pleased," Miss Brown said of her selection as a "Campus Talent '67" performer.
"I enjoy singing so much and it's wonderful to get an opportunity like this."
THE FINN-AM FIVE is so named, said Chuck Bung, because
Delinquents get career opportunity
Offered on a self-sustaining basis, University of Kansas Extension classes must stir the imaginations and ambitions of potential enrollees—or they are cancelled. Recently a teenage reader of the Leavenworth Times noticed the advertisement for the KU night classes offered there and surprised his mother.

Other members of the quintet are Jim Bowman, Raytown, Mo., senior, pianist, and Jim Haynes, Topeka graduate student, bass violinist. Berg plays tenor saxophone and flute, while Barnett plays the trumpet for the group. Both double as singers.
A new booklet, published by a non-profit educational foundation, tells which career field lets you make the best use of all your college training, including liberal arts courses—which career field offers 100,000 new jobs every year—which career field produces more corporation presidents than any other—what starting salary you can expect. Just send this ad with your name and address. This 24-page, career-guide booklet, "Opportunities in Selling," will be mailed to you. No cost or obligation.

"One of the most interesting things about our group," Berg said, "is that none of us are music majors. We don't think much of the general attitude at Murphy toward jazz."
The Finn-Am Five has been organized for two years and has found itself increasingly busy with bookings in and around Lawrence. Last year they performed by invitation at the Notre Dame Jazz Festival. They plan to arrange bookings in Canada this
summer for the World's Fair there.
VIDEOTAPING FOR the television special will be done April 5th and 6th, Stainbrook said. On one of those days a film unit will be on campus photographing the KU segment of the show.
"Our contacting the KU students is a commitment for taping, but not necessarily for inclusion in the program," Stainbrook said. "We always film about two more acts than we can use because some acts that look good in audition just don't come through on film.
"We can't say for certain that all the acts chosen from KU will be used in the program."
Stainbrook, who auditioned KU students for last year's "Campus Talent," said in February that "KU is one of the finest schools in terms of talent anywhere. That's why I always like to come here."
Yell leader David Holt has been temporarily suspended from KU's yell leader squad.
Yell leader out for game
At Monday night's KU-Colorado basketball game, Holt leaped onto the south end of the court and grabbed a Colorado player who had just fouled a KU player.
"Ive been suspended from the K-State game," Holt said after his meeting this morning with Vincent Bilotta, yell leader squad
advisor, and Laurence Woodruff,
dean of students.
Head Yell Leader Bowen White, Bilotta, and myself will decide later as to any further participation on my part," Holt said.
