Selected KU Students headed for Disneyland
By DAN PARELMAN Staff Reporter
In the "Wonderful World of Disney" every dream comes true.
KU *students Eric Arbogast, James Haverstrom and Paul Bastin* haven't caught Disneyland yet, but he *needs their dreams has already come true*.
They were chosen at a Midwest regional audition to perform this summer for the Disneyland All-American College Bands.
Arbogast, Topea junior, will perform at Disneyland in Anahale, Calif., while Haverstrom, Commack, N.Y., and bastin, Leaward junior, will perform at Walt Disney World in Orlando. Fla.
They will rehearse six hours a day the first two weeks in Disneyland and Disney World, then do five shows a day, five days a week throughout the amusement parks, Haverstrom, a trumpet player, said. They will attend clinics and practices with top jazz and pop performers.
Disney will pay them $1,800 and give them free lodging for 11 weeks of performing.
To earn the $1,800 the three must meet one more requirement—they must look like all-American males.
"IT'S WHAT they consider the 'All-American Disney' look," Haverstrom said.
Like volunteers about to enter the army, the three must have their hair cut above the ears, shave off facial
hair and clip their fingernails before they can wear the Disney red, white and blue.
"I'm looking forward to an excuse to cut my hair even shorter," Bastin, a saxophone player, said.
Haversmort will have to shave his mustache, but he and Arbogast agree that Bastin already looks like the all-American male.
The students competed in January at the University of Missouri-Kansas City conservatory of music against about 2,000 other students. They had to play a song by itself, playing, a sight reading and an interview before being chosen.
"It's quite involved preparing for an audition. I started this time last semester," Bastin said.
THEY PRACTICED all styles of music in front of audiences, Arbogast, a trumpet player, said.
The three had already had plenty of chances to perform, however. Haverstrom and Arbogast play with the jazz, symphonic, basketball and marching bands. Bastin plays with the jazz band and the sax quartet.
Arbogast said he went crazy when he found out he had won. Haverstrom and Bastin agreed that winning was an exciting experience.
Robert Foster, KU director of bands, said he was also pleased.
It is unusual for one university to send three representatives to the Disney bands, because only 20 universities and colleges are represented on each band, according to Foster.

Foreign university seeks American tapes
Informal talks sought
By DEBBIE DOUGLASS Staff Reporter
available through a textbook or a standardized tape.
The department of English at Stockholm University, Sweden, would like its students to hear how Americans actually talk.
Dave Minugh, foreign lecturer at Stockholm University, asked in a recent letter to the University of Kansas that American students tape-record their informal conversations on social media and send them to Stockholm University.
He said Swedish students need to hear what Americans sound like when they are just sitting around talking, not when they are speaking perfect, rehearsed English for a language lab tape recording.
Minugh said most of his students had been to England. Not many had been to the United States, so many thought that he was a professor of television characters Koak and McCloud.
He said the tapes would help Swedish students of English learn American literature.
He said the Stockholm University English department was interested mainly in conversations about hometowns, growing up, frightening experiences or standard topics such as parents, politics or the opposite sex.
If the tape recording inhibits conversation, Minugh said, people can turn off the recorder and wait until the conversation starts naturally, then turn it back on in the middle of the discussion.
Ermal Garinger, director of KU's language laboratories, suggested yesterday that the recoverer be kept on hand and monitored edited later. It might be hard to tell
Garinger said the idea to tape informal conversations was very good, "but it has its drawbacks, some technical and some linguistic."
what part of the conversation would be useful while it was in progress.
And, he said, technically it might be hard to pick up a group conversation clearly, but if well-recorded, the tapes could be used.
"With a group of students, the vocabulary is going to be completely random with an enormous amount of information," he said. "Be meaningless in Stockholm," he said.
In return, Minugh said, if these American students are ever in Stockholm they must present free tickets to some of Sweden's tourist attractions.
Minugh said American students interested in recording conversation tapes should send personal information such as their names, addresses, ages, sex and anything else of interest along with the tapes.
