Friday, June 28, 1968 KAMPER KANSAN 3 Blind campers adjust to KU By Jennie Wein Kamper Kansan Reporter Everyone has a problem. Some people have more serious problems than others, though. It is how well a person overcomes his problems that determines how successful he is to be in life. Jane Roth and Lynn Watts are blind. Both are students in the German division at the Midwestern Music and Art Camp. MISS ROTH, 16, lives in Oskaloosa, Kan., and attended camp last summer. She again this year received a scholarship in German, "I like the kids here. They make good friends," she said. Miss Roth thinks the camp is well organized and the programs are varied with something to interest everyone. "People get to do different things." a subject which she has studied for five years. Miss Roth enjoys the camp and corresponds with a friend she made last year. She has joined an exercise group and likes to read in her spare time. She has previously attended the Kansas School for the Blind in Kansas City. MISS WATTS also received a scholarship in German. She lives in Victorville, Calif., and is attending the Camp for the first time. Although she has not yet participated in any activities outside of German classes, she plans to go to the concerts and other activities. Miss Watts thinks the kids she has met seem friendly and her division is well run. She has attended school at Victor Valley High School and the California School for the Blind.

By William Jeffries Kamper Kansan Reporter At the band camp, half the campers are referred to by the other half as "my roommate." Roommates come from all over the country and read everything from Mother Goose to Playboy magazine. The roommate is the one who short sheets your bed, hangs Crest-coated coat hangers outside your door, then lies in wait for your grand exit from the room. He hides your key, and steals your girl. He has a knack for fixing you up with a blind date who comes equipped with a white cane and seeing-eve dog. The following morning, the word is out that you dated a real dog. Or she has the infuriating talent (or luck) of receiving seven letters a day from the boy back home while all you get is business mail, clothing bills and camp bulletins. THE ROOMMATE is always the first in the showers and the last out. On Saturday, when he gets around to brushing his teeth, he tries to use your shaving cream instead of his tooth paste. He uses the blade from your razor to cut off the sleeves of his sweat shirt He has posters up all over the room that feature such famous people as John Wayne, the Beatles and sex symbols of our time. He studies by rote mumbling, while you require absolute silence. He invites the wing in for a party during the only hour you have in the week to catch up on that much-needed sleep. He borrows the shirt you were going to wear to the dance that night. WHEN STANDING in the lunch line he is asked whether he wants a sandwich or a hot dish, the answer he gives is always yes. The roommate is also a thoughtful person. He is the first one to bring you a dustmop, broom and rag so that you can be sure to do all of the cleaning. The roommate is always unpredictable, unreliable and always difficult to do without. Especially if that roommate is yours. — Kansan photo by Pat Ashfora SPRECHEN SIE DEUTSCH? Bill Cline is hard at work trying to pound German into campers' heads. German program accents culture Variety marks the curriculum of the 1968 German division which is headed by Sara Rodewald, with Gary Cormode as assistant director. Approximately 130 students were placed in different class levels during the opening days of camp by the results of achievement exams. All students will study German grammar, literature, culture and civilization. The truly interested camper can participate in a number of diversified activities. Musicians can enjoy singing in the German chorus or listening to classical music composed by German artists. Teams made up of both faculty members and students can play rousing games of soccer. Campers who plan to produce a play entitled, "Lukullus," by Bertholt Brecht are studying German dialogue. A newspaper written entirely in German will be distributed.
