KU Groups to Sing With Philharmonic

Kansas Staff Writer
Now in his early twenties
Between the ages of four and fourteen, Marjoe said he made approximately $3 million. He quit preaching at tenseven because he was afraid that money he had made—his parents had somehow made it vanish.
The Kansas City Philharmonic will open its subscription series five times this year. "Requiem sung by three University of Kansas choral groups, the Chamber Choir, the Concert Chorale and the Orchestra."
The combined choir, which totals about 120 members, will be directed by Jorge Muster, interim music adviser for the Philharmonic.
The choral groups have been rehearsing intermittently in class since the beginning of the school year, and had its fourth Lawrence rehearsal with Mester Monday night. The choir will travel to Kansas City to rehearse with the Muncy University Sunday and Monday.
Mester said Monday that the choir was very good and that he was looking forward to working with them.
HE SAID that the Philharmonic was planning to perform with other area groups in the future.
"We need to make music with as many people in the area as we can." Mester said.
James Ralston, teaching
associate and director of choral music at KU, said that it was an important part of the performance with the Philharmonic and that it was a great experience for the students to work with a conductor of a major U.S. orchestra.
Mester is also music director of the Aspen Music Festival each fall and works with a guest conductor for some of the finest orchestras and opera companies in the country.
THE PHILHARMONIC principal guest conductor for the 1972-73 season will be Michael Baldwin. He will conduct the subscription concerts in December. He will also conduct and program youth concertes, cabaret concerts, television workshops at area universities.
Charry will be guest conductor for the Cleveland Orchestra and the New Haven Symphony. He will also conduct the Municipal Band. He will lead the Oslo Philharmonic and other European orchestras next spring.

Fact and Fiction Blended In Two New Paperbacks
Two new paperbacks provide interesting reading for those who like to draw parallels between characters and those from real life.
John Rowan Wilson's "Barrington" (Pocket, $1.25) is about a white doctor in Africa. He describes the course, and this book does some speculating about a great physician who renounces conventional success to found his own jungle. Many also have asked
questions about the motivations of Schweitzer, a figure of considerable controversy.
James Wylie's "The Lost Rebellion" (Pocket, 95 cents) we have another subject of contemporary interest. This one is the story of Miles King, an exp-pimp and pusher and convict, who becomes founder of the New Brotherhood of Islam and a great charismatic leader. He also is assassinated, with Matilda X are obvious.
Marjeo has returned to evangelism, not so much moved by the spirit but because there's 'in-the-time religion.'
Sitting on a motel bed counting the night's donations, telling stories to the girls in a local bar or joking with the camera crew. Marjorie exemplifies the young man has everything going for him.

It's not that Marjeo doesn't take his work seriously. When he's in front of a congregation he's all business—and from the recorded on film he seems to have a lot of good for a lot of people.
"Praise the Lord, Hallelujah,"
Maryjo screams. "Hallelujah,
praise the Lord. Now I want you to get on the largest bill you've
got."
But then there's the other side of Marje, the young man with frizzy, red hair and a tie-dyed shirt, out about religion an ad its "addicts."
