Hootenanny Artists To Be Here Oct.11
The Traveling Hootenanny, sponsored by Student Union Activities (SUA), will be presented at 8 p.m. Friday, October 11 in Hoch Auditorium.
The Hootenanny craze hit the United States a few years ago and the ABC television network began the Hootenanny show. The group, featuring different artists each week, travels to different college campuses. The KU show will not be taped here, but the same group will be on the ABC Hootenanny show a few weeks prior to the KU performance.
THE HOOTENANNY will feature Louis Gottlieb of The Limelighters, Lynn Gold, Knob Lick Upper 10,000, Bessie Griffin and the Gasper Pearls and the Modern Folk Quartet.
Louis Gottlieb, doctor of Musicology, will narrate the show. Many KU students will remember him as the comic bassist of the Limelighters, who performed here in the spring of 1961. Mr. Gottlieb is noted for his intellectual college brand of humor.
Lynn Gold, a native of Brooklyn, began her singing career in Los Angeles when she sang for informal groups of her family and her friends. Her first professional experience was with a California group called "The Balladmakers."
She has since given performances in New York, Washington, D.C., Toronto, Minneapolis and Chicago. Early in 1964, she made her first appearance on ABC-TV "Hootenanny."
THE KNOB LICK Upper 10,000 is a male trio which is true to the Kingston Trio and The Limelighters tradition. Knob Lick is the name of a small village in Kentucky and Upper 10,000 is a literal translation of a German word meaning upper crust or gentry. The trio is composed of Peter Childs, Dwain Story and Erik Jacobsen.
Bessie Griffin and the Gospel Pearls is a group of six Negro women singers. They have performed in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Vancouver. The Gospel Pearls are accompanied by Cherles Barnett, pianist.
The Modern Folk Quartet began recording in California in 1961. Their music corresponds with the music of most folk singing groups.
All of the groups featured will sing selections from their albums.
TICKETS WILL be on sale at the Information booth on Jayhawk Boulevard, beginning Monday, Oct. 7 through Wednesday, Oct. 9.
They will also be sold at Bell's Record Shop downtown and Kief's Record Shop on the Mall the week before. Tickets will sell for 75 cents, $1 and $1.25. No bloe seats will be sold.
Friends and former students honored Cora M. Downs, Summerfield distinguished professor emeritus of bacteriology, at a dinner Saturday evening in the Kansas Union.
Prof. Cora Downs Honored at Dinner
About 100 people heard Prof. Downs praised by former students as the "ideal teacher" and "a giver of inspiration and vision."
Prof. Downs retired this year after teaching at KU for 46 years.
David Paretsky, professor of bacteriology and chairman of the department, presented an inscribed glass centerpiece to Prof. Downs.
Contributions from friends and former students set up a "Downs Lecture Fund." The fund will finance the lecture visit to KU of an outstanding educator in the field of bacteriology.
THE MEMORY OF FRED COX, for 34 years manager of Western Union in Lawrence, will be perpetuated by a plaque in the new Memorial Stadium press box. Cox, who specialized in handling press coverage at major athletic events, was stricken by a heart attack earlier this month.

being presented at KU will be on the ABC Hootenanny a few weeks prior to its performance at KU. The other groups include Bessie Griffin and the Gospel Pearls, Lynn Gold, Louis Gottlieb and The Knob Lick Upper 10,000.
"ONE-OF-A-KIND...
she is fresh and sophisticated, subtle and straightforward, complex and direct. Above all, a consummate performer, mixing improvisational flair with an effortless control of her songs and her audience." That's how Variety described "the electric climate of excitement" that Barbra creates. She ignites the spark whenever she performs—Basin Street East in New York, the Riviera in Las Vegas, or on records. That unique quality made The Barbra Streisand Album an immediate smash hit. The voltage is even higher on The Second Barbra Streisand Album.
