Now, seven and a half years after that picture was taken, Arter Subtl still has his hands on the piano and his love for it has taken him from his native Lisbon, Portugal, to the University of Kansas to study with concert pianist Sequela Costa.
Subtitl was playing the piano by ear when he was still in diapers, his mother said. And when there was no piano to play, he turned and handed his fingers on tables, chairs or walls.
FOR THE PAST four years, Costa and his wife, Tania Achia, another pianist, have taught Subtil between their tours and while on vacation in spring. In summer, she joined a professor and then decided to stay on as a professor of music performance. So last summer the Subtils move to leave from Lisbon to Lawrence, 3108 Flint Drive, to be close to
When Subtil was four years old his parents asked Costa to consider him as a pupil. After only one lesson Costa said he was proud when his girl was gifted so he took him as his pupil.
In becoming Costa's pupil, Subtil was inhering an illustrious tradition. Costa was a pupil of piano master Viana Dana Motta who had been a pupil of Franz Liszt. Liszt, in turn, had been a pupil of Ludwig Van Beethoven.
Sublit said he didn't mind leaving Portugal to study his life because the city was so beautiful.
The decision to move also was based on the political climate of post-revolution Portugal, Subtil's mother said. The best musicians have left the country, she said, and after Costa come to KU three years old, had placed enough in Portugal to teach her son.
"If we couldn't have come to the United States, we have closed the piano forever," she said.
"If I didn't carry on with the piano," he said. "I would just be losing the rest of my life."
IN LATE AUGUST, Subli, his parents and his two-year-old sister, Sarra, arrived.
in lawrence. In October they were joined
by a group of students who plan to stay
in lawrence until May.
Sutbit's father works on an oil tanker off the Atlantic coast and often is away from home. The boy's mother said that living in the Midwest was difficult for the wife of a seaman. While living in Portugal, the family was closer to the ocean.
Subtil said he had no trouble adjusting to American life, or learning
English. He said he had studied English for two years in Portugal.
"In one week I was speaking like I was an American," he said.
BY A SPECIAL arrangement with his school, Subtit is dismissed at 2:30 in the afternoon to attend lessons with Costa or practice.
"I get out early every day except Tuesdays," Subtill said, "because on Tuesdays I have gym and I wouldn't miss that for anything."
Costa does not allow his pupil to give recitals or play for anyone but teachers yet. Costa said Subitl was still growing and developed as an artist but he didn't want his pupil to acquire any bad habits that would have to be overcome later.
Costa said Subtil was a bright student who was capable of developing into a concept leader.
Subt'l said he aspired to be a concert pianist but was not making any plans yet.
'Hawks look forward to UCLA

The more the Kansas Jayhawks think about it, the more they are looking forward to playing UCLA in the first round of the NCAA playoffs.
The Jayhaws, who were shocked Sunday when they heard who their first round opponent was to be, have been in good spirits all week waiting to play the Bruins, who have made a habit of winning national basketball championships.
The Big Eight champion Jayhawks, 24-4,
meet the No. 2-ranked Pacific Eight
champion Bruins, 24-2, tomorrow at
MacArthur Court in Eugene, Ore. Tip-off
before a nationally televised audience will be
at 3:15 p.m.
UCLA, PAC-8 wins the last 12 years have won the NCAA tournament 10 of the last 14 years. They have won 49 of their last 52 NCAA playoff games.
"Damn, I've always wanted to play against them," John Douglas, KU forward, said recently. "It seems they are not playing him and I'm an honor to play against them."
"UCLA MAY have an edge because the game is on the West Coast, but I think we do well." KU freshman guard Wilmore Tennant said of the team's healthy and I'm looking forward to the game."
Fowler, who has been habbling with a knee injury, should be able to play for the team.
Along with the names from the past at UCLA, the Bruins have some bright new names. Junior forward David Greenwood, 9, UCLA's All-America player, has averaged 17.7 points a game. He enters the playoffs with a playoff win against Oklahoma and a doubles along with his 17.7 average. KU senior Ken Koenigs will probably cover Greenwood.
ADDING TO UCLA's depth is 6-3 senior guard Raymond Townsend, who averages 14.9 points. The Bruins' center is Gig Sims, averaging the other forward, James Hearn, who averages 7.7 points.
Senior KU guard Clint Johnson, 6-2,
probably cover junior Rou Hamilton, 6-2.
Like Kansas, some of the Bruins' more impressive statistics come in team totals. They're not quite as good as the 2016
beating opponents by an average of 19.1
percentage. KU's average margin of
priors is 16.
"THEY HAVE AN All-American and two really good guards but I don't think they are any better than us," Moore said. "It's not great to be a player, but put it all together when the game starts."
1 the Bruins went 14 by in conference play and won 13 of the 14 to 12 point. UCLA's two losses this year have both been to Notre Dame.
Four teams will be playing in Allen Field House to determine which one of them will advance to the NCAA Finals in St. Louis on March 25 and 27.
Center Donnie Von More said the Jayhawks could win with a good effort despite the fact KU has yet to beat UCLA in six tries.
There are eight teams that have a chance to play in the tournament. The teams are Missouri, Utah, Houston, Notre Dame, DePaul, St. John's and Louisville.
IN THE, NCAA sub-regional at Wichita Sunday it will be Missouri (14-15) vs. Utah (23-5) and Creighton (20-8) vs. DePaul (26-2).
In the NCAA sub-regional at Tulsa, also Sunday, the pairings are: Houston (25-7) vs. Notre Dame (19-6) and Louisville (22-6) vs. John St. (21-6).
The winner of tomorrow's game travels to Albuquerque, N.M., for the NCAA West Regionals. Their opponent will be the winner of the Arkansas-Werber State game.
Britton, McCarten elected to fill top AURH positions
The unvalidated ballots were disqualified for technical reasons, such as write-in votes with more than one box marked and write-in votes with a mark by the write-in candidate's name.
In Lawrence on March 17, the Missouri-Utah winner will play the winner of the Houston-Noville Dame game. The Creighton-worn Louisville-St. John's game.
Filers advertising a write-in campaign for Zippy and Pinhead appeared on cars in residence hall parking lots. Wetzel said she did not know who was responsible for the filers.
Britton and McCarter won the election with 300 votes. Second was the team of Jay Smith, Greensburg freshman, and Mark Fouts, Derry freshman, with 269 votes. Phill Kaulman, Memphis senior, and Donna Winters, Syracuse freshman, with 195 votes, and Dimitris Sirota, Athens, Greece, junior, and Sophie Duhdah, Kuwait freshman, placed fourth with 137 votes.
On March 17 and 19, KU will be the host of Midwest Region basketball tournament.
The only formal complaint of the election was resolved yesterday afternoon after one team and an elections committee member met with Dave Taylor, Tempel Hall Hairy resident; Sam Zweifel, resident director; and Sam Zweifel, Tempel hall assistant resident director.
Kim Wetzel, elections committee chairman, said 1,252 ballots were cast. There were 187 write-in ballots and 117 ballots were invalidated, she said.
Larry Britton, Wichita junior, and Peggy McCarten, Kansas City, Kan., freshman, were elected president and vice president of University Resilience Halls last night.
Wetzel said she was pleased with the voter turnout, but was extremely displeased with the write-in in campaign for "Zippy the Pinhead," apparently a joke.
Taylor filed a complaint Wednesday against candidates Kaufman and Carlisle for distributing unaddressed campaign letters in Tennilm mailboxes.
Placing unaddressed mail in residence hall mailboxes, other than mail from AURH or from University departments, is a violation of University policy and AURH election guidelines.
Wetzel said the group decided to have Kaufman and Carliele post an apology and explanation of the circumstances behind the unadressed letters in the Templin lobby.
Honor camp opposed

Clinton residents last night made their sentiments clear to area legislators and prison officials at a public meeting at Wakarusa Valley School.
Staff Writers
Two bills to the Kansas Legislature would provide $1 million to build a minimum security honor camp at Clinton Reservoir 4 miles east of Lawrence. The honor camp would house a maximum of 55 inmates in dormitories. The prisoners would do construction and maintenance work at Clinton and Perry reservoirs, north of Lawrence.
But their efforts were probably in vain. "We sure don't want a prison in the state park at Clinton Lake," William Brink, Route 1, said.
More than 100 Clinton area residents meet with State Senator Arnold Berman, D-Lawrence, and State Representatives Lloyd Buzzi, R-Lawrence, Mice Glover, D-Lawrence, and John Vogel, R-Lawrence. Robert Hannigan, director of the Toronto
But their efforts were probably in vain.
Kansan takes break
Today's edition of the Kansas is the last before spring break. The newspaper will resume publication Monday, March 20.
Honor Camp and Jim Marquez, acting secretary of corrections, also spoke.
Most residents said they did not want the camp. However, they also said they felt safe.
"Would it make any interest whether we should here want it or not?" I.J. Stonecky thought.
The residents charged that legislators and prison officials had waited until the honor camp bills were about to be passed before the residents were notified.
Roy Laird, 1641 Mississippi St., said that although the prison camp had been discussed with city officials, the camp had not been discussed with Clinton residents.
"I don't know if the message will ever get through," he said, "but if you're going to put something in the community, talk to the neeled."
Everett Christenson, Route 1, said that if residents had known a prison camp would be built, they would not have wanted the reservoir.
"If you had said we will have a reservoir and boating and recreation, and we will have a prison camp, we would have said, 'No, we don't want it.' "Christenson said.
The residents said the camp should be built in a less populated area. They also said the prisoners would pose a threat to the ex-servants and staff, who will visit Clinton Reservoir each year.

Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
said yesterday that the University of
Kansas still hoped that state funding for
women's athletics would be raised to the
amount Gov. Robert F. Bennett originally
requested from the legislature.
A senate committee Wednesday cut KU's requested 53.3 percent increase of $85,115 for women's athletics to a 14 percent increase of $22,336.
The Senate Ways and Means committee passed a recommendation that would reduce women's athletic fund increases for all six Kansas Board of Regents schools from the 57 percent recommended by Bennett to only seven percent.
Coupled with a proposed 7 percent increase for the base budget of the entire University, the women's athletic department stands to receive an increase of 14 percent if the committee's recommendation is passed by the Legislature.
THE REQUEST, which was to fund five new coaching positions and pay other operational expenses, was made by the University to offset a decision by the Student Senate to not fund women's athletics beginning in fiscal 1979.
Shankel said that no plans had been made on where cuts could be made in the women's athletic program should the recommendation pass the Legislature.
"We are concentrating our efforts on the floor of the Senate in hopes that the funding could be restored to the level recommended by the governor," he said.
martin Washington, director of women's athletics, said yesterday from the site of the women's regional basketball tournament in Manhattan, that she had been aware of the possibility that the Senate committee might not recommend the full amount requested.
SHE SAID that she would not be able to determine what other means of funding could be available until the women's legal decision is given a firm decision by the Legislature.
"We're not going to give up on the state," she said.
He said the group had originally planned to try to amend the bill on the Senate floor to give the senators more time to vote.
Rob Green, chairman of the Concerned Students for Higher Education, said student senators had talked with legislators yesterday to try to stress the importance of recommending the full amount requested by the governor.
"But now the absolute best would be if they got what they requested," he said.
Green said it was too late to start a letter-writing campaign now but it was a matter of
talking with senators to justify the need for an increase.
STATE SEN. ARNOLD BERMAN, D-Dawrence, said that he had voted against the cut for women's athletics, but added that it always possible to amend it on the Senate floor.
However, State Sen. Joseph Harder, R-Moundridge, said he voted for the 7 percent increase on the basis that within the 10-year period, budgets would be held to 7 percent increases.
He said the decision of the KU Student Senate not to fund women's athletics because it was the legislature's response to the governor's decision this decision to hold the increase to 7 percent.
Washington said anyone looking at the program could see that the department was only requesting funds to fulfill basic needs of the department.
Harder also said he thought he did not have information on the women's athletic department that justified the sizable increase in its budget.
SHANKL SAID his office had supplied a tremendous amount of information to the Legislature but he could not be sure it had been received by specific senators. He said he would provide more information to any senator who requested more information.
Anne Levinson, president of the Council of Women Athletes, said if the recommendation was accepted by the legislature, women's athletics would be worse off than
it the recommendation passes the Legislature, the total women's athletic budget would be cut from a requested $244,661 to $181,882.
"I don't see how they can think we don't need the money," she said. "Don't they realize that someone is going to have to pay for it anyhow?"
LEVINSON SAID she was afraid that, because of the budget decrease, one or more sports would have to be cut from the women's athletic program. She said she thought the cuts would be unfair because money available through Title IX would be spent on the remaining sports and not on the sports that would be cut.
By law, any federally funded institution faces loss of federal funds if it does not comply with Title IX, which states that sex must be provided to both sexes," must be provided by July 21.
She said she thought it would be unfair to women who had come to the University to participate in sports that had been cut and that it would have an adverse effect on the reputation of the women's athletic department.
