'Super' Hollowell quips
By DON LEWIS
By DON LEWIS Kamper Kansan Reporter
"Always ready for a good time," is how Mrs. Robert Hollowell describes her husband's hobby and no better way can anyone describe this man. Hollowell is supervisor of Templin Hall which houses nearly 300 boys in the music and ballet divisions.
THIS ISN'T Hollowell's first position at the Camp. Last year he appeared as guest teacher of a Camp orchestra. While the responsibility of supervisor takes most of his time, he also finds time to conduct this summer's Concert Orchestra. This year's attendance of concerts is "quite superior to last summer's." Hollowell pointed out.
Before taking the job of supervisor, he had been told many stories of harried supervisors who were always beset with prank-

"OUR COUNTRY has done so many things," one girl commented, "sending a man to the moon doesn't mean any more than an airplane going from Georgia to California in three hours! We just expect so much."
And as in the beginning, many doubted the statement, many questioned it. Some feared it and some dreamed of it. Near the closing of the decade, man on the moon is no longer a dream; it becomes a reality!
sters plotting their overthrow. Upon arriving, he discovered it "a pleasant experience."
His greatest responsibility, Hollowell said, "is understanding each kid and trying to let each one keen his personality."
SOME OF HIS "run of the mill" chores as supervisor are inspecting rooms, endorsing checks and keeping Templin residents and building in order. In doing this he tries to be friendly without acting like the student's buddy. He has this manner because he feels that teenagers, "though they won't admit it, like to have someone older to look up to."
One of the things he has observed about the students at Templin is, "that they came for a fine musical training." He continued by saying they are getting fine training through a great staff.
MRS. HOLLOWELL, who is spending the summer at Templin, said that she finds herself "hanging loose" while her husband takes on the problems at the dorm.
Hollowell loves spectator sports but claims the right to be the "worst golfer." To further this he said, "probably Mrs. Esau could beat me in golf."
Kansas weather foils would-be sunbathers
By DEBBIE WALDEN
Kamper, Kansan, Reporter
Kamper Kansai Reporter Summer—a time of sunbathing and swimming. Campers, aware of Kansas's notorious heat, arrived from all over the United States anticipating the "great tan we can go home with."
THE FIRST WEEK of Camp proved disastrous to many Campers who arrived decked in summer clothes. The temperatures ranged from 40 to 60 degrees, and it rained continuously. The Kansas Union was besieged with Campers buying sweatshirts and umbrellas. Letters to home begged for warmer clothes to be sent immediately. Postmen were overwhelmed as packages arrived from confused and amused parents.
PROMISES THAT the weather would revert according to legend were heard from native Kansans—and it did.
The temperature soared to the high 90's, although the unusual amount of rainfall continued. After an evening downpour, one was able to guess that the following day would be hot and humid. Every morning Campers, leaury of the weather, set out for classes wearing loose, cool clothes and
carrying an umbrella and raincoat.
"It has to get better; it can't get any worse," one Camper complained. "Shuffling up and down these hills isn't helping matters either," he added.
ONCE A WEEK one can expect to hear an announcement ordering everyone out of his or her room into the halls. Tornado watches, which had frightened out-of-staters, are now calmly accepted. Listening to the radio during a storm, one can expect to hear of a tornado somewhere in the vicinity.
Slipping behind the dorms, the girls say, "finally, we can get a tan." Again they are disappointed.
STANDING up, the temperature isn't too bad—lying down is another thing. As the Camper lies there, she can feel the sun's heat penetrating her body. That is when she goes inside, where it is cool. Seldom does anyone stay out more than 30 minutes. The few brave (or foolish) ones who do are struck down by either sun-stroke or dehydration.
So, as one can see, Kansas weather leaves much to be desired.

Appel molds dance to fit individual styles
Appel is versatile
By SYLVIA GIBSON Kamper Kansan Reporter
Raoul Appel stands on a chair above a mass of gyrating youth. He leans forward, bouncing on the balls of his feet and clapping his hands to the rhythm of the music. His face contains an animated expression. Occasionally, he shouts directions to the whirling group before him and he often wipes his face with a towel.
THE MAN is a director-choreographer-teacher of American jazz dancing and was instructing ballet students of the Camp.
APPEL DEFINES jazz dancing as "the American dance," explaining that it is, "a combination of the technical discipline of ballet, the freedom of modern dance and individual style and rhythms."
Sitting in a tiny room, and sweating heavily, the short, dark-haired man turns an interested face to his questioner. A towel hangs around his neck and he uses it often. His legs are crossed and his huge arms move widely and freely as he talks.
He often smiles when talking
and his eyes take on a mysterious gleam. He explains that he develops a dance according to the framework of the people with whom he is working and according to their individual skills.
A GROUP of students do knee-bends and other warm-up exercises while waiting in a practice room. Appel strides into the room, the ever-present towel around his neck. He starts the tape recorder and the group falls into the dance pattern, each concentrating on his steps.
APPEL HAS a long list of credits. He is an independent choreographer for NBC and CBS. He was a soloist with the Los Angeles Youth Symphony at the age of nine years, and solo dancer with the Charles Wiedman Company. A professional dancer since 1951, he choreographed for theatre and television in London for one year. His most recent choreography was done on Broadway this year in "Sweet Charity."
In the midst of the group is Raoul Appel, matching each dancer's steps. A certain animation has appeared on his face.
Journalism 'shutterbugs' invade summer campus

Have you ever stepped demurely from behind the shower curtain, only to find yourself forced to jump back in?
Have you ever swallowed a spoonful of oatmeal only to find your nauseated facial expression being recorded?
Have you ever, while looking for a lost contact lens with your posterior prominently in the air, heard a frightening "click" behind you?
THOSE OF YOU flattered by the hordes of cameras watching your every movement are not really celebrities, only victims of the sneaky, stealthy, surreptitious journalism "shutterbugs."
The journalism division of the Camp offers a photography workshop. To enter this fascinating field, one must have imagination, dedication and photographic skill. Emotional feeling provides much of the foundation for photographic education and experience.
any combination of the proper photographic tools, but most important, one must be able to communicate in visual terms.
GOOD PHOTOGRAPHIC quality prints can be produced with
Photographic equipment and chemicals are provided for use by the University. Students furnish supplies such as film and paper.
GARY MASON, instructor in journalism, demonstrates methods of loading and using various types of cameras for novice photographers. Their assignments consist of utilizing d_rkroom techniques and focusing on campus life.
At first, students were somewhat discouraged, until Mason demonstrated the techniques and advantages of what is called burning in, dodging and using contact sheets and test strips. These methods enable the printer to produce better results.
