Folk dancing students follow steps in front of Wescoe Hall last week
KU club enjoys folk dancing
By KATHLEEN J. FEIST
Staff Reporter
Fifteen dancers formed a straight line outside Wescoe Hall last week and held hands.
"Now, hop-step, hop-step, step-step," the dance instructor, Andy Schankel called as he began to skip to a Built-in stage. With his followers stumbled behind him.
Occasionally, a passer-by would stop and watch as the group groped their way through a strange musical step from a foreign country.
"If a lot more fun to do than it is to watch," said Marcia Michalski, treasurer of the KU International Folk Festival in Chicago Friday evening and Sunday afternoon.
MICKALSCH, WHO HAS been folk dancing for more than 10 years, has helped teach the hundreds of dance steps she has learned over the years. Thea Milch, Kansas City, president of the club last year, also teaches.
Between them and others who help, a variety of dances from just about every country are taught to new, enthusiastic students.
"The bulk of our dances come from eastern European countries," Millich said.
The dances they teach range from Hungarian to British, from Scandinavian to African, and from American to Macedonian.
FOLK DANCING IS much more than just song or history to this group of people. Millich said. It's also working with the whole body.
"When I dance it makes me feel good to be out doing something with the body," Millich said.
The social aspect also had a lot to do with the roots of her desire to dance, as well as the roots of social dancing in general, she said.
Historically, in the old countries couples looked for a way to assist their courtship, and dancing was the only method to connect to the one being courited. Milch said.
THE PERFORMING group in the club has costumes modeled after the country's fashions during the time period associated to the dance.
Most of the dances that the group hop and step to are from the 16th and 18th centuries.
But the group often has not had a chance to wear the colorful outfits, Milli
"We must be asked to perform first," Millich said. "We'll perform for any group or organization as long as they ask us and feed us."
There are usually 10 to 12 in the performance group, all of whom are able to dance to anything requested providing they have the music to accompany
Each member in the performance group also has attended the workshops
LAST SEMESTER, the club sponsored a workshop where Andar
Crampo, a teacher from New York who
specializes in Hungarian dances,
taught several new dances.
Workshops for the club, where new dances are taught, are becoming fewer due to finances. Millich said.
The club also sends members to camps to learn new dances to teach to the club when they return
the Office in the city.
Student Senate currently is financing the club which demands no financial dues from members, Millch said.
The group is trying to integrate more of the community into the predominantly KU student club.
LESSONS ARE open to anyone who wants to come, she said.
LAST SEMESTER, the dancers changed their meeting place from Robinson Gymnasium to St. John's Catholic Church, 1208 Kentucky, because non-KU students weren't allowed in Robinson, Millich said.
During the summer, the group is meeting outside Wescoe Hall.
"For the past two semesters, I've wanted to find out about this type of dancing," said Mary Pearson, "and now I have."
One woman, who joined the group a month ago, said she enjoyed the dancing because it gave her an enjoyable way to exercise.
Karen Kruppe, who began dancing in a folk dance club in Kansas City ten years ago, said she has always enjoyed learning because of the learning experience.
High-school debaters at KU
Staff Reporter
By SUSAN STANLEY
These students have traded traditional summer pursuits for two weeks of intensive training at the 1982 Speech and Debate Institute.
While many youngsters their age are swimming, playing tennis or relaxing, 100 high school students are spending their summer afternoons in the unair-conditioned basement classrooms of Fraser Hall.
The high-school debaters have come from as far as Texas and Louisiana to attend the first of two sessions of the summer debate camp, directed by Ed Hickin, assistant debate coach and finding assistant in speech and drama.
HINCK SAID the philosophy of the Institute, which is in its 30th year, did not emphasize winning. The Institute's atmosphere at which students can learn
"what they are doing and why they are doing it."
The Institute faculty consists of the coaching staff and members of the board.
While at the Institute, students attend daily debate theory classes and afternoon workshops. They may also choose among classes in the two-man Lincoln-Douglas debate style, individual forewarning, or debate argumentation. Hinek said.
There are lectures on debate techniques such as topicality, whether an argument pertains to its topic, and the advantages of various speaker position.
They also discuss the national debate topic for the coming season: “Resolved: That the United States should own its armies sales to other countries.”
"Lateenight," said Hinck, "runs from 10 p.m. to midnight and allows the faculty to provide students with individual help."
Nicole Joe, Shreveport, L.a., came to the Institute because "this year's topic is so broad. I wanted to get a head start."
Students have also learned the convenience of late-night pizza deliveries.
WHEN THEY ARE not in classes, the debaters are researching the topic in classes.
Security for the students is important, Hinck said. The students must be back at Oliver Hall by 10 p.m. each night. Males and females are housed on the ground floor in the lowered to drive even their own cars, and they must wear name tags at all times.
The second session of the Speech and Debate institute is scheduled to start July 3.
The most important advantages debate training provides, Hillen said, are self-confidence and the ability to think on one's feet.
Musician died June 15 Pepper's 'Cool Jazz'
By ANDREW deVALPINE
Staff Reporter
The slicing yet full sound of jazz saxophonist Art Pepper will never again be heard in jazz clubs throughout the country.
Staff Reporter
Pepper died June 15 of a stroke at the age of 56.
"Pepper's sound was one of sheer emotion, a raw type of playing that was personal but not beautiful," said Dick Wright, professor of music history and host of the "Jazz Scene" on KANU Saturday mornings. Tuesday.
PEPPER WAS ONE of the four great post-Charlie Parker also sax players to emerge, Wright said. "He was one of the few players of the early '50s who had a distinct sound, who wasn't under Parker's influence."
After playing with big bands such as Stan Kenton's at the end of the 40s, Pepper burst onto the West Coast cool jazz scene around 1952. Wright said.
The early '50s was known as the Cool Period in jazz history, a slow-down reaction to the fast and frantic bee-bop movement by champion Parker and Dizzy Gillespie.
Stan Goetze and Miles Davis were the predominant figures in the Cool Period. They played with a more mellow, relaxed style, Wright said.
BUT PEPPER stood out because of his fiery and emotional playing, he said.
Wright said he did not think that Pepper would be remembered in history books as one of the main figures of jazz.
Art Pepper was a junkie, a heroin addict, he said.
One reason for his lack of recognition, Wright said, is that he spent so much time in prison.
Pepper had an almost Dr. Jekyll-and Mr. Hvde personality. Wright said.
"He was a really bad guy. In his autobiography 'Straight Life,' he admitted to coming close to committing murder for drug money." Wright said.
PEPPER'S PRISON record tends to overshadow people's knowledge of his capability, he said.
"It's a shame that most people will never realize how good he was. He's thought of a jinkie rather than the artist he really was." Wright said.
Pepper spent a good deal of time behind bars for his heroin problem, Wright said, including two trips to San Quentin. He also spent three years with the group, which offers therapeutic community for drug rehabilitation, located in Los Angeles.
During the last five years of his life, he was trying to stay clean with methadone, but it was obvious that he was not being faithful to the regimen, said Bob Hammond, host for "Jazz in the Night" on KANU.
HAMMOND TALKED with Pepper at the Wichita Jazz Festival April 25.
Pepper's problems with drugs began as his stardom began to rise. Hammond said.
praised
"I don't know of a single prominent jazz solist of that period in the early '50s who wasn't strung out," Hammond and particularly those on the West Coast.
"It was part of the whole scene."
Pepper's death did not meet.
complete surprise to Wright, he said.
"It wasn't a shock because we've expected it all along," he said.
"But he also mentioned he was surprised that he was still alive," Hammond said.
HAMMOND SAID that in his conversation with Pepper in Wichita, Pepper talked mostly about the jazz musicians whom he used to work with.
Six weeks after Hammond talked with Pepper, he was dead.
Pepper always had trouble expressing himself and getting along with others, Wright said. But Harmonold said that his co-workers at the Wichita Jazz Festival had nothing but sheer admiration for him.
"They admired him professionally and personally and had nothing but good things to say," Hammond said. "He was the one who played Pepper's playing as highly emotional
"ALL THE PROBLEMS he's had, all the pent-up emotion inside comes through in his playing." Wright said.
"He showed sheer emotion in his bailad play, perhaps more than anyone else," Hammond said.
Both called Pepper's death a great loss to jazz, and the loss of a major artist.
Jayhawker Towers to add security
Providing more secure housing for women and separate housing for married and graduate students is the goal of the Jahyawker Towers beginning this fall. J.J. Wilson, KU director of housing, said recently.
THE NEED FOR different types of housing was based partly on interviews with tower residents, and residents who were working there. It guessed the particular thing on the house.
Tower B will have security doors and an intercom system to improve the security for women residents. Tower A will be changed so that graduate students or married students without children are the only residents, Wilson said.
"I guess the particular thing on the women was security," Wilson said.

If the goal of having Tower B completely filled with women is not met, Wilson said, they may have some married students in that building.
"Some people said that they were afraid to go out in the hallway late at night and that they dreaded Friday and Saturday nights as there were so many people in and out of the building, and so, to a degree, that touches on security."
... for all occasions
Wilson said he planned to have more occupants in the fall because of the changes. He said he hoped for an atmosphere that would help people have a better understanding of the rights of others.
"Maybe if you know somebody,
you're not as inclined to make a racket
when you come in," he said.

WHEN ASKED ABOUT previous complaints about the apartments, such as stuck elevators and no hot water, they were corrected or usually corrected as soon as possible.
"When they are reported, most of the time if we can' make permanent repairs, we make the temporary repairs or give them time to make permanent repairs." Wilson said.

Wilson said that a fire last November shut down one of the two elevators in that tower until March of this year.
"I don't believe that there's anything basically wrong with the system, so if there are malfunctions in it, we can deal with them and fall under the category of routine maintenance."
"We have extra hot water tanks and that sort of thing," he said.
