KU percussion ensemble to perform recital tonight
By KEVIN MILLS Staff Reporter

Three exotic percussion compositions by Lou Harrison is the accompaniment to the KU Percussion Ensemble at 8 tonight at Swartbock Recital Hall in Murphy Hall.
George Bober, professor of music performance and director of the 10-member ensemble, said Harrison's music utilized his passion and exotic percussion instruments.
The great bells, a站-toured series of metal pipes, were made by Art Keller, Sr. of Boom Springs. Keller is the father of Keller Springs freshman, an exemplary member.
Several of the ensemble's instruments were handcrafted especially for this concert.
Bohmer made two of the ensemble's instruments, a sweet jangle and a pak. The other instrument consists of a pak, a Korean instrument consists of a series of hard wood strips that are skipped
PERCUSSION STUDENTS also made a set of wood drums, substituting wood for the skin heads of a trivial drum.
"Song of Quetzacoat" will be the first of three Harrison coasts performed. Based on
Afric melodies, its persistent rhythm provides a tense contrast to the flowing folk melodies.
Cancille No. 3 features folk melodies that are first stated by an ocarina and then imitated by the percussion instruments. The second emphasizes the harmonic instrument that resembles the rite.
Donna Whited, visiting assistant professor of organ, will be the guest solist in the evening's final selection, "Concerto for Organ."
He was a music critic for the New York Herald Tribune. He has written two operas, and several scores for symphonies, orchestras and ballets.
A piano, clockwise, vibraphone, elastie and tube chimes bridge the sustaining organ notes with the sharp percussive rhythms, according to Harrison's program note
HARRISON WAS born in Portland, Ore., in 1917, and studied at San Francisco State College with composer Henry Cowell and studied Los Angeles with composer Arthur C.
"Harrison was one of the composers on the West Coast who organized the writing of percussion ensemble music," Robert said.
The concert is the only scheduled performance by the percussion ensemble this semester. It is free to the public.

Another Lawrence man, William Norris, £2N. Third St. was taken into custody by the police after he had not been formally charged in connection with the shooting, but other warrants in the county call for his arrest. Some of the warrants include traffic violations, parole violations and other offences.
Douglas County officials said the shooting occurred behind a farmhouse about six miles north of Lawrence. A weapon was (found at) the scene.
It was the third consecutive weekend that patrol cars or students' cars have been shot at. Mullets said detectives are examining evidence of shooting, but that by reviewing the trajectory of the
pellets a floor or room in Ellsworth could be identified as the pellets' starting point.

Team from Harvard University wins finals of debate tournament
By RICK HELLMAN
Staff Reporter
The debaters had been at it all weekend, and looked worse for the wear.
It was the final round of the 24th annual Heart of America debate tournament, which was won yesterday by a team from Harvard University.
By Monday afternoon ties had loosened and hairdies had been forgotten as the contestants furiously riffled through their 3-rings. The judges penned clenched tightly between their teeth.
Harvard met West Georgia College in the final round of the tournament yesterday in the Kansas Union.
The two sides hauled their information to the head table in briefcases and file boxes of every description, and then began.
In a cadence remarkably similar to that of
an auctioneer, John Bredeboff of Harvard launched into an affirmation of the debate topic: that the federal government should regulate the regulation of mass media of communications.
Back and forth they went, from point to sub-point to cross-examination and back again.
When it was all over, the judges awarded first place to Bredehoft and his partner Bill Foutz.
Bredhoft also won the KU annual tournament last year for his school.
