Highlights of week in review

Harold Wilson decided to hold an election because England wide polls showed he would win. He lost.
Wilson had called the election last month after 5 $ \frac{1}{2} $ years in office because polls said the Labor party would win.
With what a perhaps classic British air of nonchalance Wilson remarked, "I think the public opinion polls have a lot of explaining to do."
In the biggest upset in English elections since Winston Churchill was defeated after bringing his country through World War II, Edward Heath led the Conservatives to victory over Wilson and his Labor government in an outcome which stunned pollsters, pundits and public alike.
The Labor party of the former prime minister, who maintained close relations with Washington during his tenure and received a sharp domestic setback when he was forced to devalue the pound, returns to the parliamentary role of opposition party.
"From now on the Labor party will be on the attack," Wilson said, grim faced.
For Americans, the election was reminiscent of the 1948 upset in which Harry S. Truman topped Thomas E. Dewey for President when the polls predicted the former New York governor would be victorious.
Newark, N.J.—Kenneth A. Gibson handily defeated incumbent Hugh J. Addonizio in a bitterly contested and racially divisive campaign to become the first black mayor of a major Eastern seaboard city.
Washington — President Nixon asked business and labor in a nationwide television address to stem the tide of inflation by voluntarily resisting increases in wages and prices.
Phnom Penh — Communist Troops cut the last major surface route in Cambodia by severing the highway linking this Cambodian capital with Saigon.
And waiting . . .
Moscow—Two Soviet cosmonauts circled the earth in Soyuz 9 for 18 days, breaking the American space endurance record by five days. The cosmonauts safely parachuted to earth Friday.
12 KANSAN June 23 1970
Templin Hall was the scene for the registration of music campers, the largest division of the camp. Campers got a taste of college enrollment as they stood in line, and stood in line and stood in line.
students from all over the United States arrived on the KU campus Sunday-only to find themselves faced with waiting in line for enrollment and registration in the Midwestern Music and Art Camp.
But even the process of registration did not diminish their energy as they lugged in suitcases and boxes filled with the necessary gear for their five-week stay at KU. Once unpacked and settled, the campers were off again—this time to scheduled meetings with the directors of their respective divisions of the camp and then simply to explore their new surroundings.
The Midwestern Music and Art Camp, under the directorship of Russell L. Wiley, opened the 33rd season of its program Sunday.
More than 150 University faculty members will be involved in instructing the campers in nine different fields.
When they are not busy learning, the campers will be busy performing. The music campers will begin a schedule of concerts June 27 that will continue throughout the remainder of the camp session.
During their stay at KU, the campers will live in three air-conditioned residence halls on Daisy Hill. The girls will live in McCollum Hall and the boys will be housed in Lewis and Templin Halls.
Their classes will be structured along the same lines as regular University classes. This includes, as some campers unhappily discovered, early morning and Saturday classes.
The camp also enforces some rules, such as room checks and lights out hour. These rules, said one camp official, are more for the purpose of keeping the campers from wearing themselves out than for keeping them in line.
Wiley said in an earlier interview that this year's campers, though fewer in number, would be as high in quality as the campers of previous years.
One fact is apparent from the initial impression—this year's crop of campers are as high in energy as their predecessors.
Church council needs revival for survival
WASHINGTON (UPI)—Leaders of 33 Protestant and Orthodox denominations are gathering here to decide whether the troubled National Council of Churches can be revived or must be replaced.
The 250 denominational representatives making up the Council's policymaking general board will take up during the weekend four alternative proposals for overhauling the nation's largest ecumenical organization.
A final decision probably will be postponed until the general board's fall meeting at Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 11 and 12. But the Washington talks may show the general direction the Council is apt to go.
That it will go somewhere—down the drain, if nowhere else is generally acknowledged by NCC officials. As now constituted, the 20 year old Council is
dependent on financial contributions from its 33 member denominations.
Those contributions have been falling steadily—partly because denominations themselves are strapped for money and partly because the Council's liberal stands on race, Vietnam and other issues have made it intensely unpopular with conservative elements.
Sharp cuts in staff and budget and a $4 million reserve fund have kept the NCC in business so far, but its warmest supporters agree it cannot last much longer in its present form.
