Although the first three sessions are just about filled, there are several openings for the fourth session of the boys basketball camp KU coach Ted Owens is starting this summer.
The camp for boys between the ages of 8 and 18 will be divided into four sessions of one-week each. The first session begins June 9.
Owens said the session starting June 30 is the one that still has some openings. Those interested may contact Owens at Allen Field House.
Boys will be quartered at Naismith Hall and instruction periods will be at the Lawrence High School gymnasium.
In addition to Owens the camp staff includes KU basketball assistants Sam Miranda and Gale Catlett and several present and former Jayhawk cage stars.

Men's intramural athletics attracted a record high of 7,172 participants in 1967-68, Robert H. Lockwood, Jr., director, said today. This is 600 above the 1966-67 record.
Participation in basketball was 2,435; touch football, 1,306; volleyball, 1,170; softball, 1,359, and swimming, 220. The 195 basketball teams provided physical exercise and competition for approximately one-third of the entire male student body last winter.
Ben Olison, Kansas track team captain, left the United States Federation Track and Field meet Sunday for failing to shave a goatee.
KU track coach Bob Timmons said Sunday the rules state that no member of the team is permitted to wear a mustache, beard or long hair.
Goatee rules out KU runner
Olison was the Big Eight 220 champ and was scheduled to run sprints and anchor the 440 relay in Houston this week.
Timmons said Olison was asked to shave the goatee and he refused.
