interested in folk instruments, has found the mandolin to be a difficult instrument.
"It takes a lot of strength to play the violin," he says. "You have to tense all your muscles."
HE SAID, however, that this year he probably would not play the mandolin because no High Point competition will be conducted. In addition, he did not have any drills or probably the fiddle — so he can do well in it.
"No two fiddlers play a tune the same way," he said. "You work around certain recognizable tunes but not note for note. You are making it up as you go along. kind of."
Mason said that an early musical education would help a person develop talent but that it might not be as good.
"I started playing the fiddle at 24," he said.
There is a lot of music you can play and have fun with.
MASON, WOEI is enrolled in pre-med courses at KAWN, who to college three years in the '60s at the University of Wisconsin.
He called music a "social sport." He said of a band in which he has played, the Alfeder Packer Memorial Band; "We do a lot of silly stuff on stage."
IF, AS MANY people say, "Return of the Jedi" is the best of the year, then "Space-hunter" is definitely the worst. This movie took the word bad to new depths. Bad acting, bad effects and bad — boring — plot are just starters.

Movies
Worst of all was the 3D. It was so bad that I had to take off my glasses once in a while and stare at the screen for hours.
Modern sculptor's work to be placed on Spencer Museum of Art grounds
The promotion of the movie says that it is "the first movie that puts you in outer space." That may be true, but the space scene is only visible during the rest of the time. I'm in Death Valley.
This horrible story involves a guy who goes out to rescue three women who have crashed on a very weird plant. The first person who finds the three women gets a whole bunch of money. (We are never told how much.) You never know who this guy is, where he came from, why they are so important. Even at the end of the movie, you learn only three things — you were wasted two hours, a gallon of gas and $3.50. — Victor goodpasture

After looking at 14 sites on campus, a University committee decided last week to place a newly acquired welded aluminum sculpture at the museum. The sculpture is Art grounds, a museum official said last week.
Jan Howard, acting curator of prints and drawings, said the University's Committee on Art in Public Places had met throughout the summer, using a low-scale mockup of the sculpture by Louise Nevelson to consider the possible sites on campus where the work could be placed.
Stephan Grabow, chairman of the committee, has said, "The selection will display the sculpture to its best advantage as well as try to an interesting and dynamic urban space."
The sculpture, Seventh Decade Garden 1X-X, was created by selecting left-over aluminum scrap, shaping it and welding it together into two columns. Howard said.
One interesting aspect of the sculpture is the contradiction between the organic leaf structure and the manmade effect of modern art, she said.
The museum is now featuring other work by Nevelson in a joint show with sculptor Dale Eldred. The Seventh Decade Garden IX-X sculpture has been moved to the museum and will be on display through Sept. 25 on the second floor.
IT HAS NOT been decided when the sculpture will go on display in front of the museum. Howard said.
Nevelson, a leading figure in American sculpture for half a century, has been invited to Kansas for the unveiling ceremonies, but museum officials do not know whether the
84-year-old artist will attend. She is now living in New York, where she continues to work.
Nevelson's sculptures are characterized, not by the chipping off of pieces from the original surface, but by their method of building and adding.
THE MUSEUM purchased the sculpture with funds from the Price R. and Flora A. Reid Foundation, the Kansas University Emmental Fund, the University Arts Center Fund and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Nevelson met with Philip Kassebaum, a trustee of the Reid Foundation, and Elizabeth Broun, acting director of the Spencer Museum, in early fall in New York to discuss her work. She suggested that the University buy the Seventh Decade Garden IX-X sculpture.
A native of Kie, Russia, Nevelson spent her youth in Rockland, Maine In the 1940s, she began to gain recognition in solo exhibitions and was published by Cubist artist Hars Hoffman in Germany.
