VOLLEYBALL RUNS AT FAST PACE
Girls' volleyball action keeps on the move as each wing sets their eyes on the Winning Wiley Wing trophy.
Just for fun
Dancing-here's how!
By ANITA SCHROEDER Kamper Kansan Reporter
"Can you Surrey? Wo-oh-wo-
wo-wo-oh-wo-oh! Can your Surrey?
"Most have heard these
words sung on the radio at one
time or another during the past
few months.
What is the "Surrey"? It falls in the same category as "The Funky Broadway," "The Eighty-One," and "The Pony." If it's not a street, a number, or an animal, then it must be a DANCE! Yes, these strange names are dances that the teens of '68 are dancing.
Well known by all is "The Skate." This is very easy to do—after it is learned. In order to do the Skate, one must slide to the right with the right foot followed by the left foot . . . slide. . . kick with left foot, and then slide to the left repeating the procedure.
A DANCE that is a little harder to learn is "The Horse." Step forward with the right foot and touch the toe and then the heel to the floor. Do the same with the left foot and step back in place with the right foot and then left
foot. Snap fingers to each step.
"The Jerk," the "Shimmy," and the "Shake Your Tail Feather" are dances that are good to do for reducing weight. "The Jerk" is an easy dance. Just try to dislocate the joints and one has mastered "The Jerk!" "The Shimmy" is just shaking your whole body all over. "Shake Your Tail Feather" is self-explanatory.
Girls' Intramurals
After three and a half weeks of competition, these are the compiled wing results for softball, basketball and volleyball.
"THE BUGABOO" is somewhat like the "Shimmy," but one only shakes or wiggles the top part of his body. While this is going on, his legs are sliding right and left (refer to the "Skate").

BUGGY BANKING

and Mrs. Lee Wood will go for
drive-in banking, but refuse to
buy a car.

Boys take big interest in sports
By BRENDA JONES
Tennis is being played by 120 boys in a single elimination process to determine the top ten winners of points.
The boys of the Midwestern Music and Arts Camp are well underway in competition for the Winning Wing Wijley Cup.
Seven games each of basketball, volleyball, and softball are being played by the 20 teams of boys—the winner receiving 1000 points and each place down to ten receiving 100 points less.
PING PONG will be played in a two day tournament Wednesday and Thursday, each wing represented by one boy.
Chess and checkers have 98 and 60 boys signed up, respectively, and the winners will be determined by random pairings.
MERLE "BONES" Nay, camp athletic director, said, "Sports are necessary in camp because the concentrated work demands healthy people. America is basically not a physically fit nation and anything we do to remedy the situation is good."
A track meet will be held the fifth week but it will not be included in the point system for the WWW Cup.
"The Jazz" and "The Jump" are extremely movable dances. "The Jazz" is mastered by hopping on the right foot and kicking the left foot wherever one wants. Then hop on the left foot and kick the right foot. Meanwhile, you are pushing hands forward and back. "The Jump" is just what it says. Jump up and shake your head in a no-no position, while your hands give subtle signs to those around you.
A dance with a weird name is the "African Stomp." To do this foreign-named dance, you step your right and left feet forward and back into place, while your shoulders snap back and forth to the beat. Also, emphasizing the rhythm by snapping your fingers.
From Florida comes the "Tighten Up." Stand in place, shake your head up and down and move your hands in the general direction that you would if you were milking a cow. The top half of your body moves more than the bottom (part of your body).
LAST MONTH, the big rage at Kansas State University was "The Line." This is a dance—any dance—that is done in a line. Most generally it is a moving line that travels all over the dance floor.
"The Heap," from New York, is a lot like football. Everyone moves (dances) in their own position and when the music suddenly stops, everyone hits the floor in a heap! Summer camp students at KU are asked not to try this at the dances. This is worse than co-educational sunbathing.
From the Big State of Texas comes "The Gator," which will not be explained or described. All that will be said is that "it's different."
Yes, the teens of '68 are 'tough' and 'boss!' And if you think they have no talents — watch them dance.
Aesthetic Athletes
By DON WALLACE Kamper Kansan Reporter
I shall devote this column to the little-known sports practiced by campers.
It seems that so many of my athletic-type heroes are either disclaiming the amateur status of the Olympics, or boycotting them or planning to play professional football instead of going there that I feel I must do my bit in the way of sympathetic neglection of the Games. So here they are:
In the fore of the pack is the fun-type game of running from the McCollum Hall counselors as they pursue you. This is usually played by casually-dressed boys on Sunday and badgeled campers almost every day. This is a good exercise for practice in losing weight, privileges and counselors.
Following closely is that which Steve Tonar, journalism camper from Topeka, calls, "sleeping hard." It is probably the most restful form of exercise available.
Another camper told me her favorite non-organized sport is feeding the ducks at Potters Lake. She also said that she is rarely attacked by the ducks, although chiggers are more vicious.
Other sports mentioned by athletic-minded campers were hill climbing (unavoidable around here), wrestling and car-dodging at the fountain. Perhaps if the Olympics should fail due to the lack of so many American athletes, and the National Football League players go on strike, then maybe all-camp trials in sleeping, running from counselors, feeding ducks and getting chigger-bit would be in order.
It's something to think about.

KU staff adds Japanese prof to East areas
A native of Japan will be visiting assistant professor here next year to assist in the growing international theater studies program here.
Tsubaki, born in Tokyo in 1931, earned the B.A. degree at Tokyo Gakugei University in 1954, the master of fine arts from Texas Christian University in 1961, and the Ph.D. from the University of Illinois in 1967.
He is Andrew Takahisa Tsubaki, who for the past four years has been instructor and designer-technical director at Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
The Japanese theater is his specialty.

George P. Elliott lectures at the forum July 23
George P. Elliott, holder of a distinguished professorship at Syracuse University and an author widely published in literary magazines, will speak on "Nihilism and Literature" July 23.
The public lecture in the Forum Room of the Kansas Union at 8 p.m. will be part of his visit as writer-in-residence July 22-24, when he will participate in Prof. Edgar Wolfe's class in fiction writing.
The 50-year-old native of Indiana has published two collections of short stories: "Among the Dangs," about seven years ago and another one just released.
Elliott's books deal with modern life in a modern world. In the novel, "Parktilden Village," he examined juvenile delinquency and in the novel, "David Knudsen," the ethical problems of nuclear physics.
He also has published a collection of personal essays, "A Piece of Lettuce," a long poem entitled "Fever and Chills" and other pieces.
Band leader—

hour working out in a city gymnasium in order to keep in shape.
Since 1964 Gabriel has served as commander and conductor of the Air Force Band in Washington. There are 231 musicians affiliated with the band; many are also members of affiliated combs. The band performs two or three times monthly at the White House and on a weekly basis at the Lincoln Memorial and on the steps of the Capitol Building during the summer. The concerts are free to the public, a concept which Gabriel instituted.
THE BAND GOES on two tours each year — one in the United States and one abroad.
The Band's winter program also includes a student artist series; outstanding high school students
from outlying district are invited to solo with the group.
Gabriel entered the Air Force in 1943 after graduating from high school in Courtland, N.Y. He served in Europe during World War II as a machinegunner. He left the service in 1946 when he returned to school at the Ithica New York School of Music where he earned a B.A. and an M.A. in music education.
Re-enlisting in 1951 he served as band director first at Samson Airbase in New York and later at Langley Airbase in Virginia. From 1958-1963 he was commander and conductor of the U.S. Air Force Band in Europe where he toured 26 countries with the musicians. At the conclusion of his service in Europe he was presented the Legion of Merit Award, the second highest peace time service award.
