On July 14, campers from the Journalism division journeyed to Kansas City and Independence. Mo., to get a behind-the-scenes view of modern media.
At the Truman Memorial Library in Independence, campers were allowed to explore the various rooms which included memoirs of the Truman presidency.
The rest of the morning, campers watched the actual filming of a TV program, at radio and TV station WDAF, and were able to experience the work involved in the video and audio part of a television production. Later, they listened to the hassles, pleasures and experiences of radio media, shared by WDAF disc jockey, Tom Brown.
After a lunch break, the remainder of the trip was reserved for an extensive tour of the Kansas City Star, which ranks among the top 15 newspapers for quality in the U.S.
On July 17, a highlight of the yearbook class was a field trip to Topeka to the American Yearbook Company. The "mile" tour included a visual look at the step-by-step procedure for yearbook production.

Dance topped by crowning

Templin Hall's first floor lounge was the scene of the 1970 Midwestern Music and Art Camp formal dance. Held Saturday night, July 18, the dance was attended by several hundred campers and in some cases their out-of-town dates.
The climax of the affair was the crowning of a camp King and Queen. Mike Esau, a music camper, was named King of the 1970 Midwestern Music and Art Camp. Mike is the son of Leroy Esau, an assistant director in the music division.
Rocio Hernandez captured the title of Queen. She hails from the Dominican Republic, and is enrolled as a science camper.
After the King and Queen ceremonies, the camp stage band dedicated numbers to outstanding leaders of the camp, including Russell Brandon, who supervised the planning and decoration of the dance.
Russell L. Wiley, camp director, adorned the King and Queen with their crowns. Wiley said that although this year's camp was not the largest, it was in his opinion the best camp session ever held.
Posters were seen in every direction, and for those who preferred not to strain their eyes reading posters, there was even a small band circulating in support of their candidates.
The campaigning of the candidates, both male and female, kept many campers busy during the week before the formal dance.
Campers study four languages
By MARY HADDOX Kamper Kansan Reporter
The language department of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp is divided into four divisions: French, German, Latin, Spanish. Each week is spent studying the various cultures and literatures and the grammatical area of each division.
Many campers feel the language student has an easy life. Since most classes are held in the dorms, it is only a short walk to
Bon jour, buenos dias, guten tag. If someone walks up to you and says one of these friendly hellos, you can bet he is a language student.
class, but he is kept busv.
Tonight at 7 the German students will present "The Firebug" in Murphy Auditorium. The directors of the German division are Sidney Hohn and Deeter Yaden. The Latin students also present plays of Greece and Rome under the supervision of Miss Elizabeth Banks. David J. Dineen, director of the French department, and the French campers celebrated Bastille Day with the usual singing and dancing. The Spanish division is headed by Ermal Garinger and along with six other instructors he conveys ideas and knowledge to 40 students.
Foreign war in dorm
Peace on the tenth floor of McCollum is hard to keep when you have all the languages to confuse matters. This year is the 100th anniversary of the Franco-Prussian war between the French and the Germans, and it looks as though they're having the war all over again on the tenth floor.
According to the French, it all started when they put the Germans and the French on the same floor. According to most people it started on Bastille Day, Tuesday, July 14. That day at 5 a.m. the French got up and began to celebrate Bastille Day by singing "La Marseillaise" through every hall in McCollum.

They rose a French flag, which later disappeared. They hung a German flag upside down by mistake. During lunch they sang the French national drinking song. They continued outside to sing "Are You Sleeping" in French.
Meanwhile, as the French spent the morning celebrating, the rest of the languages sought revenge. According to the Germans, the Latin students sneaked into the French wing, tore up the bedding, greased the door handles, and threw clothes on the floor. The Spanish students
put honey on the telephone and wrote German notes to frame the German students.
One French student admitted that she was jumped on the lawn, so she "papered" a girl into her room. She did this by taping a sheet of paper so it completely covered the doorway.
The French admitted that they marched through a German party singing, "Td Love to Be an Oscar Mayer Wiener." They accused the Germans of greasing their door handles, putting Saran Wrap on the toilet lids and ripping out their phone.
At 10:15 a.m. the German students invaded the French wing and put jelly on the door handles, water faucets and on the toilet seats.
On Wednesday the French retaliated, according to the Germans. They had strewn toilet paper all over the restrooms, put shaving cream on the mirrors and in the showers and covered the toilet seats with Saran Wrap.
German plans for the future are to pipe the German national anthem through the intercom early in the morning to wake up the French. The French plan to tie all the doors together, paper the doors and put shaving cream in the push dryers.
