SCIENCE AT CAMP-As a feature of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp, a group of campers in the microbiology division displayed a chemical experiment at a table in Lewis Hall this week. The camp officially ends Sunday.
Science Campers' Initiative Leads to Successful Show
By Jacquie Glaser
Initiative of the Science Campers, planning and imagination, work and cooperation, and knowledge and enthusiasm were combined to make the very successful science exhibit which was held last Monday evening in the Lewis Hall lounge.
Purpose of the nine-division display was to show the campers from other divisions what the Science Campers have been working with and learning about for the past six weeks.
The exhibit was worked up entirely by the students, with them doing the planning, arrangement and gathering of materials. The students' instructors supplied the equipment and materials which were used in the captivating display.
COUGH PLATES of several camp leaders; slides showing bacteria found in Templin cafeteria food; slides showing disease germs; and a slide showing bacteria cultures from the food in the cafeteria were all on display for campers to see at the microbiology table.
The chairman of the science display committee, Barbara Hughes also was the chairman of this particular showing.
In order to show the internal effects of radiation, an exposed mouse was carefully cut open and compared to a mouse which had not been exposed to the radiation. An onion skin was put under a microscope to show the effect of radiation on cell division. This display was worked out by the students of radiation biophysics under the direction of chairman William O'Meare.
PLASTIC APE-SKULLS and three modern skulls were compared at the anthropology table. The evolution of culture was indicated by the tools men have used. Jan Fangman was in charge of this showing.
Two dissected frogs were displayed at the zoology table, to point out and explain the organs. The chairman of that group was Shelby Shapiro.
The number theory table showed the complicated theorem which students proved in their exercises. Larry Yeager led his group to a successive exhibit.
PERHAPS ONE of the most interesting displays was the visual perception and span of attention tests which were shown at the psychology table. Bob Ermen was in charge of this table.
The iodide clock experiment at the chemistry table caught everyone's attention. This experiment, which was directed by Chairman Jan Oscherwitz, changed a clear solution to a purple color faster than one could blink an eye.
Around the physics table, one could hear the whirring of a machine. Bob Dukelow was the chairman of this particular table, which showed standing waves on a vibrating string and measured the velocity of the waves on the string.
CAREY FULLER was in charge of the topology display, which displayed such problems as the mobius bands, the four color map problem, and the Konigsburg bridges problem. These curious problems do not have much practical application, but they have come up in the study of topology.
When one boy reached the anthropology exhibit, he looked into a mirror to compare his teeth to the ones which were displayed there and said: "I hate to say it, but my teeth look more like the baboon's!"
The exhibit chairman was very pleased and amazed to see how interested the other campers were in the showing.
"I THINK IT WAS good that the Science Campers could show what they have been doing, especially since most of the other divisions have concerts, or exhibits, or other ways to display their work.
"Almost all the science campers helped and there was a great spirit of cooperation among them," said Miss Hughes.
the more romantic moods, which are meant to make one simmer, never quite reached me. Where Gina Bikales, who was a cute Kim, faltered in this capacity, Jane Willis, the perfect Rosie, carried through.

Enthusiasm—
ALBERT, PLAYED by Steve Reed, was at first a facesimile of Dick Van Dyke, especially during "Put On a Happy Face." But he came into his own as the story progressed, and very effectively so.
Phyllis Goldblatt, as Mrs. Peterson, gave him something to work with as no one else in the cast could have. Her portrayal, undoubtedly the most difficult one for a young person, showed excellently energetic execution.
The choreography was exceptionally well-adapted. Besides flinging her way through several mad chases, Rosie led a veiled caravan of death dancers against Albert, casting a spell over the spectators.
Another touching moment occurred when the tragedy of the besieged MacAfee family was dissolved into church-hymn praise of Ed Sullivan. No one felt so sorry for the poor martyred parent as he did, in an almost unbelievably realistic interpretation by James Wilmouth.
THE MOB SCENES for Birdie in Sweet Apple provided fast action that balanced out all else, and drew one so into their midst of harassed parents and flighty "Kids" with a "Lot of Livin' to Do," that it would have been difficult to withdraw. The telephone scene, further supplement to the madness, was as clever as ever.
Conrad's strains of song, incidentally, were in swinging contrast to the starkness of "Maude's," for instance, where some of the desperate moments in the experience of loving life fleeted away. All in all "Birdie" was once again hysteric and gentle, simple, sweet, and very very "sincere."
Western Civ Exam To Be Held Saturday
The Western Civilization examination will be given this Saturday. July 25. from 8 a.m. to noon.
The test will consist of four parts, each part lasting one hour. Students taking the test must bring their KU ID cards and room assignment cards to the place of examination.
No other materials except a pen are required.
CHICAGO—(UPI)—An expert on the nation's economically deprived Appalachian area warns that a proposed government relief project would amount to "just another handout" program unless it takes into account the need for raising educational levels.
Economic Expert Urges Education for Appalachia
Ayer, an associate professor of sociology at Berea College, said it is the responsibility of any aid programs to "see that these people are adequately prepared to meet the challenges they will face in new environments and to try to keep them from migrating until we can raise their educational levels to a point where they can cope with modern society."
"OF THE 8 MILLION persons living in the nine-state Appalachian south, possibly as many as 4 million will migrate some day because the area can't possibly support them," Ayer said in an interview.
Perley F. Ayer, executive secretary of the Council of the Southern Mountains, Berea, Ky., said any such "gigantic relief project" is doomed to failure unless it stresses the type of people it is dealing with, their economic and educational shortcomings and the fact that hundreds of thousands of persons are migrating from Appalachia to cities such as Chicago, Cincinnati, Akron, Dayton and Detroit.
AYER, IN CHICAGO for a tour of a neighborhood area now containing an estimated 30,000 Appalachian migrants, said it is the feeling of the Southern Mountains Council that cities also have a responsibility to meet the problem presented by the migrants.
"The migrant problem alone makes it necessary for us to see this as a joint problem of both the city and the rural areas," he said.
One such aid project has been successfully tested in Chicago, Ayer said. The Mountain Council has opened a neighborhood center to help mountain people adjust to city life. Another will open soon in Cincinnati, he said.
Ayer said he believes current government plans for the area are not comprehensive enough and fail to take into account the real need of the people—education.
"Road building programs, forestry construction projects, all are good," he said. "They help the economy,

From past experience, Ayer said funds from such government projects generally "always end up in the hands of those people who need it least."
"A simple relief program would merely doom a large number of these people to a life of taking rather than giving."

"We have millions of people in that area living on a substandard basis," he said. "They need to be brought back into the economy.
"Here is a tremendous supply of unused resources for the nation, but they won't be of any help unless their educational and economic levels are raised so that they can help themselves."
Ayer said the most recent U.S. census figures show only two of 257 counties in the Appalachian area were above the national grades completed median of 10.6.
The national median income was $5,660 per year. Representative family incomes from the Appalachian South ranged generally from $2,000 to $4,000, he said.
