KU professor to help plan camp program
Frances Horowitz, chairman of the department of Human Development, has been appointed to head an advisory committee to plan a summer day camp for Lawrence youths.
Mrs. Horowitz will work with a group of student staff members in the program to be supported by $46,340. A fund-raising campaign for the project, it was reported today, has passed the half-way mark.
He said that many of the contributions and pledges were unsolicited, showing the "genuine concern expressed by local residents."
Arthur Wolf, Lawrence businessman and chairman of the fund-raising effort, said today that about $23,000 has been either collected or pledged for the project.
Basically, the day camp would accommodate about 200 young persons who would be working with about 73 teen-age staffers. The campers would fall into the 5-to-12-year-old category, and would largely be from underprivileged backgrounds.
The camp is expected to operate from the Douglas County fairgrounds with several sub-stations throughout Lawrence.
The camp will be operated for ten weeks and will hopefully occupy the interests of the children while offering a challenge to the teenage staffers.
The camp will be for children who otherwise would have limited opportunities for supervised recreational and learning experiences. The camp will run on a 6-day basis each week and is expected to offer an "integrated program," Wolf said.
The details for the camp will be announced soon.
Wolf pointed out the program will operate independent of the city recreational program but will not be designed to compete with it. He said the project should augment it.
Financing of the day camp includes $41,340 for salaries for the 73 staffers and $5,000 for project supplies, materials and transportation.

SUA coffee forum good to the last drop
The last Student Union Activities (SUA) coffee-forum was conducted Monday in the Kansas Union Forum Room.
W. Bernard Fleischmann, chairman of the program of comparative literature at the University of Massachusetts, spoke on "The Province of Comparative Literature."
Departing from his prepared lecture at the forum, Fleischmann said comparative literature is the scientific study of literature of different nations. Understanding the language, history, customs and psychology of several countries involves a great deal of knowledge, so the comparative literature student specializes in two to six languages, he said.
Fleischmann will deliver the last SUA Humanities Lecture at 8 tonight in University Theatre, Murphy Hall. His topic will be "Christian Epicureanism: A Seminal Enlightenment Concept."
Fleischmann will be on campus three days speaking in humanities, Western Civilization, German literature and drama classes, and conferring with faculty members trying to begin a major comparative literature program at KU.
Specialized fields in comparative literature study literary styles of various countries and subject matter of literature and literary periods.
Fleischmann received his BA from St. John's College, Maryland, and his MA and Ph.D, from the University of North Carolina.
