Hooting and hollering filled the air as the Midwestern Music and Art Camp held its annual Sadie Hawkin's Dance. All was a part of the Fourth of July festivities that overtook the camp. While some campers danced to the popular records in Lewis Hall, others sat on the hill enjoying the display of fireworks that flashed across the blackened sky.

At 9 p.m. the judging for the best and most original costumes began. The male counselors chose the couples and individuals they thought deserved recognition. After the finalists were chosen the winners were announced.
Some of the campers took the idea of the dance very seriously and worked hard thinking up an original costume. Others came dressed as they normally would except for a small addition of some type to their attire. One boy went as far as to shave his head for the sake of conversation.
After the judging was over the records once again began to blare as the winning couple started off the next dance. Soon the floor was crowded with campers and counselors dancing.
campers dressed as a Playboy Bunny, tail and all. The best looking male costume prize went to the Jolly Green Giant, attired in real leaves and looking very much like a tree. An Arabian knight and a member of his harem won the prize for the most original couple. The girl wore a striking yellow costume and a hair piece and her partner was dressed as a sheik.
The best and most original female costume was won by one of the
When the clock struck 10 p.m. the counselors organized into a little group around the piano and a small stage was cleared in the middle of the dance floor. The program which the counselors had prepared as a part of the festivities began. There were songs and skits mimicking the camp and the advisers, along with an advertisement for Neiderhiser beer. At the end of the presentation there was a finale with the counselors singing their own words to a popular song.
The evening's events began at 8 p.m., when the girls did a turnabout and called for their dates at Olin Templin Hall. One by one, in their colorful array of costumes, the couples left for an evening of merry-making.
The time seemed to fly and soon the records stopped and the evening was ended. Reluctantly the campers left, couple by couple, with memories of an unforgettable evening.
Each Friday the art division of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp provides a new display of work for the Exhibition Hall on the main floor of Murphy Hall. Shown studying a piece of modern are included in this week's collection is Ron Loch, a KU graduate student.
History Discovered In Kansas Room
Watson Library. Walk right in. Sit right down. Feel the sensation of a "house-of-books" overcome you. Concentrate on the variety of book covers. Notice the name-tags on the aisles. See the bulletin board. Spot the directions toward "the" room. The Kansas Room. Enter.
All around you are memoirs of Kansas. Beautiful books of maps explain the routes of historic treks. Old newspapers that date back to the year 1856, such as the "Kansas Free State" paper and the "Herald of Freedom," are bound for observation on the visitor table.
There are books by famous people who at one time lived in Kansas. General Dwight D. Eisenhower's works are located in this Kansas Room. Traditions of KU are found here. William Inge, author of "Picnic," gave pre-copies of his writings before the final publication to this priceless habitat of history.
Although attention has already been drawn to the baseball activity of Camp Supervisor C. Herbert Duncan's family, we feel that the children should receive particular recognition.
Books about the Wild Western Era are located in the Kansas Room. One book in particular, published in 1844, was the "Shawnee Baptist Mission Book." It was printed by the Meeker Press which is no longer in existence, but which is still remembered by all Kansas historians.
Stephen, Jill, and Susan are grooming themselves for what could become the first co-educational, little league outfield in the history of modern baseball. It is remarkable that the threesome finds an opportunity to have fun even though their house has about 650 people in it.
From the J. J. Pennell Collection of 1895-1909, there is an exhibition of photographs. As Robert Taft stated, "One of the most striking features of the exhibit displayed is the picture record showing the transformation of the horse age to the auto age—the first locally owned automobile in Junction City appearing on the city streets in 1905."
Duncans Find Time To Engage in Sports
In all seriousness, one could profit by watching the children play because it could serve as a lesson on how to have fun without really trying. On another note, one could probably learn something on the line of baseball fundamentals. Stephen, the youngest boy, shows signs of possibly becoming tomor-
the camp routine. Usually the trip is taken during the fifth week of camp. This also allows the campers to see Kansas City and the large outdoor theater. There are only two of this type of theater in this area—the one visited by the camp, and an outdoor theater in St. Louis.
w's Mickey Mantle.
In recent years field trips have been taken on the same day to avoid too much confusion. As Mr. Duncan says, "Just take one day and foul the whole works up." It is easier to have mass confusion on one day than have separate field trips taken.
Starlight Trips Are Enjoyed By Campers
"With A Little Bit of Luck," there haven't been too many serious accidents delaying the trip and they have never been rained out. The most serious accident occurred four years ago when a bus broke down
Excited busloads of teens invaded the Starlight Theater last week as they went on their annual trip to the immense outdoor theater in Kansas City. This year there were fifteen busloads of campers, three less than last year. Since bus transportation was the biggest problem the number of seats available had to be limited. The camp was one of the biggest groups to buy a block of tickets.
The fun-filled trips to Starlight began 10 years ago to give campers from all over the nation a chance to see an outdoor company production. This year "My Fair Lady" was presented and last year the campers viewed "Carnival" with Al Hirt.
from an overheated radiator on the road between Lawrence and Kansas City. The bus never came and Mr. Duncan stayed up until 2 a.m. waiting for it. Finally he went out to find it. It was necessary for another bus to come from the garage in Kansas City and the campers didn't arrive back at the dorms until 5:30 a.m. There was little sleep lost because the campers made their beds on the bus.
The trip to Starlight was originally organized as an ice breaker to spark
This year there was just one incident when the wheel bearings went bad on one of the buses and it was necessary to replace it with a double-decked Golden Eagle bus.
Mr. Duncan commented on the trips, "It's been a real wholesome activity for the camp and we hope the kids enjoy it."
Bicycles Subject to Campus Regulations
Bicycles on the KU campus are common, and almost necessary—especially for the camper who is easily tired by the steep hills he must otherwise climb to classes every day. But before you mount that trusty bike, check to see that you are prepared for whatever situations may arise.
For instance, there are basic requirements for bikes and bike riders that come in handy—more so before they are violated. These are according to the "Code of the City of Lawrence, Kansas 1957-Article X. Bicycles," which is a little document approximately 4 pages long. It can be found in the files at the traffic office in Hoch Auditorium, where license stickers—the first basic requirement—and are also available at 25c each.
There is a procedure for obtaining these stickers that should be carried out before one is discovered "licenseless" by a member of the campus police force. The procedure consists of obtaining the frame number of the bike, to be registered along with the owner's name, the date issued, and the fee collected. Should the bike be a model on which the frame number is nowhere to be seen, the owner's birth date—the numbers of the day, month and year—preceded and succeeded by his first and last initials, respectively, are recorded. Incidentally, such license must be attached to the bike "in such manner that it shall be plainly visible."
Procedure for License
Before the licence is issued, the police department may inspect the bike and the owner's knowledge of traffic ordinances and laws, as well as qualifications on handling the bike. Speaking of traffic ordinances and laws, the bike rider is not likely to appear qualified by violating any applicable also to the driver of an

And one final bit of information, to be passed on for what it may be worth: "Any person violating any of the provisions of the article shall upon conviction be punished by a fine not exceeding the sum of $25, or by revocation of such bicycle license, or both." Happy bike riding!
2.) Siren or whistle prohibited.
3.) Every bike must be equipped with a brake which will enable the operator to make the braked wheel skid on dry, level, clean pavement.
Students Occupy Supervisers' Time All Year Around
Of all the people connected with the Midwestern Music and Art Camp, the supervisors perhaps are the most directly responsible for the smooth running of the camp. These six supervise most of the details that keep the approximately 1,250 campers fed, housed, and occupied.
The head supervisor is C. Herbert Duncan, now completing his twelfth year in the camp. He began as a percussion instructor, and worked his way up to camp supervisor. He is also serving as editor of the "Tempo," the camp yearbook. During the school year he is director of instrumental music for the Normandy school district.
GEORGE NEADERHISER'S duties include the supervision of the boys' dormitory. He is also assistant camp supervisor. This is his sixth summer with the camp. He attained his position as a result of his becoming known to Prof. Wiley through some of his students. As the camp expanded, Mr. Neaderhiser was hired. He teaches music at Topeka High School during the school year.
Richard Brummett teaches junior high and elementary school music in Winfield, Kan., during most of the year. During the summer months, however, he is assistant camp supervisor. He also directs the Junior High division band during the two weeks that division meets. The manner in which he attained his current position is rather matter of fact, as he was telephoned and asked if he wanted to do the job. He did. This is his fourth summer with the camp,
This summer is Darrell Nelson's second year as assistant camp supervisor. However, previously he has been both a counselor and a camper himself. During the regular school year he is a guidance counselor and a music teacher at Overbrook; Kan, High School. Mr. Nelson is in charge of the Sunday chapel services, in addition to all social events and recreation for the campers. While the Junior High division is in session he is supervisor for the junior high boys' dorm. He also attends summer school at the University.
MRS. RALPH PARK has been housemother at Gamma Pbeta Beta sorority for 17 years. However, for the last two years she has spent her summer as assistant supervisor at Lewis Hall. She became interested in the job when she heard about it from girls at the sorority who had been campers. Her major duties include counseling and taking care of the mail .
Mrs. Frank Spurrier is now completing her third year with the camp. During the year she is housemother at Stevenson Scholarship Hall, as head supervisor at Lewis, her duties are much the same as Mrs. Parks.
Another Swim For Campers Will Be Under the Moon
A moonlight swim, slated for tomorrow night at Holiday Park Country Club, is to be the second such outing for campers this summer. A minimum of 250 must purchase tickets for the event, which are on sale at 75c each. Chartered buses will leave Lewis Hall at 9 p.m. and arrive at the private pool at 11 p.m. for the return to the dorms.
C. Herbert Duncan, camp supervisor, who attended the first moonlight swim with his family and those of George Neiderhiser and Richard Brummett, associate supervisors, commented that because of its success, arrangements for the second trip have been made in the same manner. Six camp counselors accompanied the supervisor and the 300 campers June 27.
The counselors have the most trouble at camp! Here are some of the tricks which have been pulled on the counselors in boys' dorm: counselor's bed pulled into the john and trash cans put in place of it, and wheaties put in the air blowing hand dryers in the john so they would blow all over the place.
