Rock 'n' roll

--bass guitar. He said that he liked the keyboard and that the format was conducted later, when formal was conducted.
"Ivalsyld lies in the fact that pop music in general has been and continues to be an important form of social pleasure," Johnson said.
Bob Wilson, manager of Better Day's Records, said that the study of rock 'n' roll was important because it can bridge the gap between generations of Americans.
"The average 18- or 19-year-old knows only a little about where rock 'n' roll has come from," said Wilson, a group participant. "Studying it can give more understanding of the nature of rock 'n' roll and make it less alien to younger people."
Still another rock m' roll enthusiast, Roy Frederick Dulr Jr. 1171, Kentucky, said he hoped participating in the class would improve his talent for playing the electric
Whether such a relaxed atmosphere will fit into a college setting, Lee doesn't know, but he has been taught to teach a survey course in rock 'n' roll to the faculty of Liberal Arts and Science at KU. If his proposal is accepted Lee will teach the course for two years. But he is dubious of its acceptance.
"The problem with rock 'n' roll is that most people in music history departments don't see beyond classical or so-called serious music," he said. "But rock has a very deep significance in the structure of our society.
"As well as being fun and entertaining,
she has been a statement of identity for you."

Teachers' rights as citizens were discussed by a panel at the end of the conference, which involved educators from all aspects of the education field.
Members of the concluding panel included Margaret Gatewood, attorney for the Kansas National Education Association, who had spoken earlier on "Teachers" about the case. F. Lyle, Shawnee Mission attorney, who had spoken earlier on "Students." Rights.
The rights of students, teachers and the public were the focus of the second annual spring conference on "Innovations in Education" Wednesday in the Kansas Union
Teachers' rights topic of education meeting
The panel was moderated by Michael Davis, University general counsel. Other panel members were Jacob Dickinson, Topeka High School student; Moe Hulub, Tonowanda, N.Y., teacher; Joan Markman, fifth grade teacher in the Shawnee Mission and Vivian King, chairman of the Lawyers School Community Relations Council.
set social and moral standards. They have an enormous amount of power and ingenuity.
Lytle, responding to Gatewood's speech, wrote that his labor problems were different from others.
Llee said that rock 'n' roll started gaining power in the middle of the '50s when it sprung from a synthesis of country-western and rhythm-and-blues music. It came at an opportune time when American society was plagued with juvenile delinquency, he said.
"It is unwise and impractical to suggest that public labor negotiations are the same as private."
"Some experts think that juvenile delinquency caused rock 'n' roll and others think that rock 'n' roll caused juvenile delinquency," Lee said. "But either way, teenagers were being recognized as an adult for their behavior or young adults, but people who had buying power—power to buy magazines and, more important, records.
"Public servants have no right to withhold services they are under contract for."
Gatewood and Markman argued that teachers were entitled to the same rights as other citizens. King partly agreed, but the teacher must not set bad examples for students.
"Teaching by example is part of a teacher's responsibility, and this responsibility is stronger than their rights as citizens," she said.
The panel discussed problems of citizen and parental involvement, tenure and what is at stake.
Although the turnout wasn't as big as it was for last year's conference, Regier said, the discussions brought out important issues.
Herold Regier, director of educational planning, said the conference had been a success. About 150 people attended parts of the conference, he said.
The conference was sponsored by the University of Kansas School of Education and by the KU division of Continuing Education. Regier said the School of Education has sponsored similar events for years.
Davis, in closing the panel, said, "The most important thing is that the conference was held at all. Bringing the issues out is what the conference was all about."
"Rock 'n' roll set them apart and labeled their culture. Now, those of us who were born with rock 'n' roll have grown up with it and have validated it."
"He was the first and possibly the ultimate winner," he said. "He was a tatum and he was needed."
Lee's first rock n' roll experience came when he was 11. He saw Elvis Presley in concert in Tacoma, Wash., Lee's home at that time.
Three years after presley, while Lee was living in Hamburg, Germany, with his army parents, he saw the Beatles, who time hadn't yet recorded their first single.
"I really didn't know who they were then, but I liked them because they spoke best. But I loved them."
The movements of the Mozart composition, "Serenade No.10 in B-flat major," blend to create a contrast of musical serenity and frivolity. These variations of theme exhibit Mozart's range of musical ideas.
"Solo for Trumpet and Winds," a composition by Knox, will be performed. Knox is currently a member of the music faculty at Georgia State University.
The concert in Germany was a long time ago, he said, and rock 'n' roll has grown up since.
The concert will include compositions by Wolfgang Mozart, Charles Knox and Anton Schumann.
Chicago chamber group to play Sunday in Hoch
Tickets for Sunday's performance of the Chicago Chamber Orchestra in Hoch Auditorium are still available in the SUA office.
"When rock 'n' roll became popular they said it wouldn't last. That was 20 years ago, and look at it now." Lee said. "Rock stars nowadays set moral standards, fashion trends and even receive invitations from the White House to entertain."
Dvorak is recognized as one of the leaders of the Bohemian school of music. His *Srêmade in D minor*," to be performed by the bohemian orchestra, is a joyful, spiritized piece.
The orchestra, best known in Chicago for its lakeside concerts in city parks, will present a program at 8 p.m. of music, string, brass and wind instruments.
Rock 'n' rock has evolved into variations on a theme, he said, and is a "spintered industry." New types are constantly coming out and supporting themselves, Lee said.
The 15-member group will be conducted by Dieter Kober, its permanent conductor. Kober begin music training in his native Germany. He has a doctorate in musicology and studied composition and studied conducting with Rudolph Gartscher in Chicago and with Iogor Markevich in Salzburg.
As a permanent resident orchestra of Chicago, the chamber orchestra that will perform at KU is composed of some of the best professional musicians in that city. Its repertory includes renditions of old and new music composed specifically for it.
"It rock 'n' roll is to be replaced with something, it must be replaced with something better." he said "The only thing that matters is along and do that is better rock 'n' roll."
A chamber orchestra is a small symphony orchestra ranging in size from 12 to 35 players, compared with the 50 to 100 members of a full symphony orchestra.
Will rock 'n' roll ever be replaced? Lee thinks not.
Bennett signed legislation allotting $3.6 million for a new computer facility at KU and $2 million for a new radiation therapy unit to the KU Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan

"Any group that doesn't look out for itself, that doesn't do all the things necessary to achieve recognition—they aren't going to win."
Looper said much of the militant Chicano movement has not had a lasting 'adhesive quality' "The Chanicos have much to learn from the blacks' civil rights efforts.
Unless they organize and unless they participate in this mechanism they're going to fail.
Loper said that Chicanos haven't paid attention to the power of the vote.

An unusual 100 per cent voter turnout in an unusual 100 per cent precincts in Los Angeles which the winning margin for John F. Kennedy in a national race with Richard Nixon, Lopeser said.
Loper, a lawyer and author, made these remarks in a Minority Affairs Cultural Enrichment Lecture attended by 75 persons in 3140 Wescoe.
The human resources of America need to be fully utilized and Chicago especially must learn to work within the national system. Enrique "Hank" Haack said last night.

Chicano political activity urged
He said the influence of the large Chicano voter turnout in he 1960 presidential election was an example of good voting organization.
"In this presidential year if the Chicanos and Puerto Ricans could organize themselves, they could have a profound effect on the election," he said.

Lopez attributed the Chicano and Puerto Rican's loose political organization to "the disappearing leadership syndrome."
He also said Chicanos were able to move about more freely after getting a good job than blacks and therefore were less likely to return and influence their communities.
Lopez said that militants didn't gain anything.
