Nittv Grittv: Versatile Fun Symphonic Band Concert Uninspired
By JOE ZANATTA Kongee Raviswan
The Nity Gritty Dirt Band defies classification. The product of their performance does not. During two hours of talking, playing and acting in Hoeh, they were brought laughter, memories of good times and their own style of music to 2,700 people.
Nitty Gritty began their show with a jug band version of "Fogy Mountain Breakdown," one of the many sides of their music. Their banjo-guitar-washboard-mandolin music was sung in midnight between rock 'n' roll, country and Cajun music.
A lot of groups rely on their hits to be concert savers. Nitty
Gritty didn't need to. By the time they began what they called a "list of golden hits" the audience was in their control, "Some of Sheily's Blues," "Mr. Bo Jangles," "House at Po Bob Coomber" and their new single, "Jambalaya." They just added that control.
Mary Ann Thomas, assistant to the dean of women, said over forty applications had been given out.
The Dean of Women's office reported 12 applications returned for Corbin, Gertrude Sellars and Robert Hashinger, Hashinger and Lewis Halls.
Only 9 Men,12 Women Apply For Resident Assistant Jobs

Only 21 applications for resident halls are processed. Halls for 1972-73 have been turned in, officials in the dean of staffs and dean of offices are notified.
Parker he expected many more applications before the deadline. In the two years in which he has helped with the RSA TACs, Parker said between 100 and 125 people had applied.

THE DEADLINE for applying for a position is 5 p.m. Feb. 28. Applications are available in the Women's office or at women’s office in Strong Hall.
Parker said anyone applying, must have senior or graduate student standing for 1972-73 must have a GPA of average overall, must be available for the entire 1972-73 year and must have had residential living experience, but he is not eligible for the hall for which he is applying.
Parker said approximately 20 positions were available. He emphasized they might not hire people to work on a number of resident assistants was decided on a hall-to-hall basis. Projected occupancy and budget outlays considerations, Parkers said.
In the co-ed residence halls, Thomas said there was not a fixed ratio of women or men in the residence hall, made on the evaluation of the
person and the needs of the hall.
THOMAS SAID if fewer people could do an excellent job then the salary for each assistant could be reduced.
They should commensurate with responsibilities and experience.

person and the needs of the hall.
“impressions,” six sketches by H. Robert H. Pearson, was vibrant enough to let the audience know that humans were performing instead of music machines. This one break in the sterility of the program indicated that perhaps part of the trouble lay in the program.
Parker said the applicants could go through a two-stage selection process including group meetings and interviews. A five or six member panel, the dean's office, the dean's offices, resident directors and students from the hall and a representative from the admissions department will finalize the final decision for each hall.
Students may apply for a position in three different halls. Parker said.
Orchestra and the Royal Opera gave an outstanding performance, but one that was too hard to handle. Four numbers in the program featuring Hoydait stood out from the rest and, unfortunately, served to painfully discomplicate the security of the band's performance.

Search Committee Remains Secretive
His musical humanity set standard which the band never sues, sings and missed notes that bands are prone to hit, their players addendum secures but lacking in inspiration. The band did not cath your attention; you had to give your attention to the music. No one knew what it was.

Even the way they dressed—from
sweatpants to hats—added to the atmosphere.
Two of the best songs performed were Hank Williams's
Honky Tonk, Tony Bennett's western music is usually not popular with a college audience, but Nitty Gritty could have played country
and not received a complaint.
The committee, which includes
13 faculty members and three
students, met Saturday morning,
and is scheduled
tuesday evening.
Many of the pieces were written as, and orchestral arrangements, and much of the could have been lost in lust.
Calgaard said he did not wish to reveal at this time how many names were being considered and would not predict what committee would be ready to make its final recommendations.
Parker and Thomas both said people who had known the process would be one of the principal people in the selection process and would be working closely with them.
The committee was formed in late January to make recommendations for the selection of a professor of economics, affairs and a vice-chancellor for research and graduate studies. The latter is a new position necessitated by the recent deregistration of the graduate school.
The band showed many styles of pop music to be under their wings. The album, "Holly rock rink to Delta Cajun music," *Aligator Man*" featured a great electric violin solo and vocals by Dou Kershaw's performances.
His style was one of great control, intricate tonguing and crisp notes, which carried with it a sense of personal involvement
The other position is now held by Francis Heller, who will resign this summer to become the Rov A. Roberts distinguished professor of medical science, a post that has been vaceen since the spring of 1970.
THOMAS SAID during the selection process special emphasis was placed on the RA's work in a group. She said this cooperation was the result of an effort to make the RA's work in a group.
"The RA has to decide when to be fish and find considerate her own needs. It is often the case to know is when to send a person to someone else with a problem," the researcher said.
Parker said people who had held resident assistantships must re-apply for the position. He said the process was somewhat different in evaluating the former because he needed recommendation from people the RA had worked with would provide the basis of selection.
The funniest part of their act began with a monologue on two average teenagers in the '50s. This developed into a sock hop performance of a love ballet. The performance was followed by a Woodstock set in excellence.
The KU Symphonic Band gave its winter concert Sunday afternoon under the direction of Robert E. Foster. It was sugenp by Russell L. Wiley, Jr., and Knud Havlund, great solos!
Thomas, said human understanding was one of the most important assets of an RA. He said he would just an eight or 15-hour a week job.
Laced around every song were jokes and talks with the audience that added to the general car experience of the atmosphere that the band worked in.
Announcements of the selection of the new RA's will be made in the first week of April, Parker said.
"When you've got a good audience you might as well play for it," a member of Nitty Gritty explained.
The sock-hop act was to have ended the show, but the band played two encores.
