University Glee Club to clear throats again
By RHONDA HOLMAN
Staff Reporter
The memories of a trip to New York have faded a bit for members of the 1928 KU Men's Glee Club.
But the enthusiasm that sent the group to Carnegie Hall and to sing for a president has kept its members coming to yearly reunions and has sparked a rebirth of the group on campus this semester.
KU had glee clubs off and on until about 1850. But none of those clubs seems to have survived. He was directed from 1923 through 1928, when it was directed by Thomas A. Larrmore, a law professor who was drafted for the position when the group's conductor
Richard Marchand, Lawrence graduate student in choral conducting, will begin organizing his née's club dance tomorrow in room 328 Murphy Hall.
THE CLUB took the Missouri Valley Championship in February 1926, by outinging clubs from the universities of Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma, Iowa's Ames University and Kansas University. The team won the burn-turned university a non-conference entry.
The victory sent the group to the National Intercollegiate Glee Club. Contest in New York City in March.

"The Graduate," then the KU alumni magazine, said, "the glee club, which has hitherto been considered as just a joke, now makes an appearance in programs and like the, a pretty fair means of contact with the state, has suddenly spring up in prominence. It has stepped right up with the basketball Championship, brought home a Valley Championship."
THE MEN RAISED $5,000 in two weeks and, with $50 each of their own, made the trip by train. They won the fight song division for their version of "I'm a Jayhawk" and placed third overall.
After that triumph, they sang for President Calvin Coolidge in Washington D.C., and stopped on the radio central radio shows and recording sessions.
Larrmore moved away in 1929, but kept coming back to conduct the glue club reunions, which began in the early 1930s. He organized a yearly commencement tradition.
Corlett J, Cotton, 645 Mississippi St,
said he sang in the glee club from 1927
through 1929 and attended most of the
reunions.
"Tom Larrencore was the central figure," he said Saturday. "The boys were all loyal to him and he to us. We
liked to sing and we've developed friendships much closer than any fraternity could."
ERNEST GRISWOLD, 2217 Massachusetts St., erentius professor of chemistry, was one of the 40 who made the New York trip. He said that Larremore's direction set them apart from other glee clubs.
"Ilarremere was a very exacting director," Griswold said. "When we were singing together, somehow he got to know me better and loved loyalty it has kept in her."
James Ralston, professor of James Ralston, professor of the LarroneRene Foundation, a formal group of the glee club's members, and the money to the choral program and would finance the new club. He said money from the foundation would help pay the cost.
Larremore died in 1975, but the push for a new men's glee club at KU continued.
He said the foundation had secured a go-head from Sen. Bob Dale, R-Kan., because of worry that Title IX's anticleraking law might make the all-male club unlawful.
"I think if somebody wants to have a glee club, they should have a glee club," Ralston said.

Limits of music and art expanded

Jazz music, silence and the collective sounds of six AM radio wafers through the Helen Foreman S博物馆 Museum of Art for a program titled, "What Art? What Music?"
The program, part of the Musing in Museums series, was an attempt to show the essential possibilities of art, Alain Milstein, assistant instructor of American Studies, said.
The program started with a piece of improvisational jazz by Chuck Berg, assistant professor of radio, TV and film, and area musicians John Lomas, Greg Mackender, Paul Miller and Johnny Moore.
Berg spoke about the proliferation of music and stressed that in the 1970s there were no recordings.
"Music is all kinds of things today," Berg said.
Then the five-piece band performs
Ornithology," a Charlie Parker song,
worn by a band of fourteen men.
After "Ornithology" was performed, Alan Mulinte, assistant instructor of American Studies, had the band members prepare for an adaptation of a John Cage piece.
Berg called the hand to attention for the piece, and as the audience waited, Berg and
his inseniere stool, counting the beat for a song composed entirely of rests; musical
When the piece "ended," MILSTEN tried to explain Caine's attitude toward art.

The resulting music was an audio collage that had both audience and speakers laughing.
OPEN HOUSE
to further demonstrate Cage's art, Milstein and Berg used 18 volunteers from the audience to perform an Cage piece, "Imaginary Landscape." Six of the volunteers wrote given cards to direct the performance. The volume and tuning controls of the radios.
"Cage wanted us to make music out of the sounds around us," he said.

MILSTEIN SAID that the confusion of the radios playing together made it nearly impossible to pick out the message of any one radio. The audience to listen to all of the sounds at once
He also said Cage's music created the intoxication of sounds in space. And works
such as "imaginary Landscape" involve the listener in the art...

Dolo Brooking, director of museum education, tried to explain the ideas of today's artists, using a Hans Hofmann watercolor-and-crayon as her example.
"The idea of the programs is not to define art, but to have people open their eyes and listen."
"We are dealing with a breakdown in preceived views of waying art," Brookling
THE MUSES program, supported by a $90,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, has been exploring artistic and historical concepts since January 1978. The next program, scheduled for Feb. 11, will study the connection between art and history with the relationship with art, according to Resco; coordinator of the Muses program.
