1,250 Enroll For 27th Year of Camp
The 6-week Midwestern Music art Camp will open its 27th season Sunday, June 14, with a record enrollment of about 1,250 junior and senior high school students.
The seven divisions serving senior high school girls and boys—Engineering, Science, Art, Journalism Theatre, Ballet, and Speech—will run from June 14 to July 23. The junior high music camp will be for two weeks-June 28 to July 11.
RUSSELL L. WILEY, head of KU bands, will be the overall director of the program. Prof. Wiley has been the only director of the program for 25 years.
Music is still the biggest single activity of the camp. About 750 high school musicians will enroll in the four bands, four choirs and two orchestras. The camp is the second largest in the country; the one, at Interlochen, Mich., is bigger.
Prof. Wiley began working with the program in 1936 and has kept the job ever since. He is assisted by 70 members of the staff, plus several visiting teachers and conductors.
THE CAMPERS ARE scheduled to arrive on campus Sunday. Classes planned for them will begin at 8 a.m. and end at 5 p.m. Saturday classes end at noon, and music students who want to take lessons with their own private teachers are encouraged to schedule them Saturday after- noons.
Last summer, students came from 44 states, with the eight states in the immediate region sending more than half the total enrollment.
Music students take part in the classes in theory, small ensembles and private lessons. Art majors do weaving, cartooning, graphies, pottery, drawing, painting, sculpture. Ballet students are introduced to graduated toe-work, character dancing, choreography and the history of ballet.
THE THEATRE department offers classes in acting and make-up, and has several productions scheduled, including the musical "Bye Bye Birdie." Journalism campers get working experience by working on the Summer Session Kansan.
All senior high campers will live in Lewis and Templin Halls. Junior high campers will live in North and South Corbin Halls.
Court Backs Ruling on Reds
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — The Supreme Court has let stand a decision that the Communist party of the United States need not register under the 1950 Internal Security Act.
The lower court decision was handed down Dec. 17, 1963, by the U.S. Court of Appeals here.
The Supreme Court rejected without comment a Justice Department petition to review the ruling.
The appeals court decision was one more round in a 13-year fight by the party in the courts and before the Subversive Activities Control Board to avoid the registration required of "Communist-action" organizations.
The appeals court decision held that the department had failed to prove that the party had anyone available who could sign a registration statement without incriminating himself.
Attorneys for the party had claimed that by registering an officer would place himself in danger of prosecution under the Smith Anti-Communist Act of 1940.
The department told the Supreme Court that the party's officers have never concealed their identity but that in any event an attorney or other agent could have signed.
ALL OVER AGAIN—Summer Session students have to stand in line just the way they did in fall and spring in order to sign up for classes. The cut in students on campus in the summer, however, makes enrolling easier and faster.
Enrollment Total Is 5,000
A final Summer Session enrollment of 5,000 is the prospect as classes for the 8-week term began yesterday at the University of Kansas, according to James K. Hitt, registrar and director of admissions.
The 3,227 persons registered through Saturday on the Lawrence campus, representing a 7.1 per cent gain over 1963, and the 597 at the KU Medical Center in Kansas City makes a total of 3,824.
Late enrollments and special institutes beginning this week will add about 500 to the Lawrence figure and
other registrations for credit during the summer will bring the final figure to the 5.000-mark. Hitt said.
The Lawrence figure includes 439 new students and 2,788 former students.
Hitt's report does not include the non-credit enrollments of approximately 1.350 high school students who will be here for the 6-week Midwestern Music and Art Camp and the more than 5,000 persons who will be attending short courses scheduled through University Extension.
