Leonard Bernstein dies at 72
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Leonard Bernstein, the impassioned American maestro who thrilled an international multitude with his spirited shows "On the Town" and "West Side Story," his pubic piontees and his hundreds of recordings, died yesterday. He was 72.
Bernstein was a conductor, pianist,
educator, author and composer. His compositions included the theatrical,
symphonies, symphonies, ballets
and even in M.Sc.
The son of Russian-Jewish immigrants, he led an orchestra performance at a liberated concentration camp, raised money for the Black Panthers and on Christmas 1899 celebrated the demise of the Berlin Wall by conducting Beethoven's "Ninth Symphony," substituting the word "freedom" for "joy" in its last move. "Ode to Jovem."
He won Grammy, Emmys and a Tony, but in November 1989 he refused to accept the National Medal of Arts to protest cancellation of a $10,000 National Endowment for the Arts in a New York art exhibit about AIDS
Bernstein died in his Manhattan apartment, his spokesperson, Margaret Carson, said. Kevin M. Cahill, a physician who was present, said the cause of death was progressive lung failure.
On Cahill's advice, Bernstein announced through Carson last week that he would retire from conducting. He said the organization infections left Bergstrom too weak.

C. T. Vivian cannot be on a college campus without the word "action" coming to his mind.

Vivian, chairperson of the Board for the Center for Democratic Renewal in Atlanta, visited the KU campus Saturday for the fourth annual Student Leadership Conference by the organizations and Activities Center.
The Center for Democratic Renewal is a multi-ethnic, interfaith, non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring that the responses to hate violence.
The conference, in the Kansas Union Ballroom, focused on leadership skills and sensitivity training. Vivian's speech was the last of six events in the cultural sensitivity series.
Jonathan Long, assistant director of the Organizations and Activities Center, said the series was designed to be as comprehensive as possibly based as possible and to address the issues of cultural diversity.
Vivian, who has been active in the civil-rights movement since the 1980s, said change for the future was crucial to the activity that people engage in now.
"While the rest of the people sit back, the American college campus is the dynamo for change in American life," he said.
But he said college students had not developed a serious commitment to fighting racism.
"We must be serious about it now," Vivian said. "Racism has destroyed more people than any other function in American life."
There isn't a value in life that isn't compromised by racism."
He said it was language that separated people.
"Diversity is a nice term that has come about." Vivian said. "But underneath it all there is racism." He said students should not allow
Until White people begin to tell other White people that they are racists, a change will not come about. he said.
He said students should not allow violence against anyone.
Students need to make a long-term commitment to the struggle against racism.
"Either you will be part of the solution, or you will be part of the problem," he said.
"You come to college to learn how to be well-rounded and independent enough to take on anyone," he said.
Habitat to build fourth local home

For Gary and Freida Houk, digging a small hole in the ground yesterday afternoon was a great accomplishment.
About 60 people attended the groundbreaking ceremony celebrating the construction of Lawrence Habitat for Humanity's fourth house, which will be built at 2707 Harper St.
Habitat is a national organization that builds and renovates homes for low-income families.
The Hokus and their four children recently were chosen to be a Habitat for Humanity family. They will participate in their community.
The Hooks said they worked on the other three Habitat projects while waiting to be accepted for a house.
Ginger Ratzall, chairperson of the Habitat family selection committee, said the committee chose the Housks to build their refuge.
They said they that heard about abandon on the news's meetings. And they accepted it. "Fredda Hook said meetings."
since the beginning.
Other things considered in the selection were the Houks' honesty and their reputation for making payoffs.
Ratzlaff said the Houks had worked more than 300 hours on the other Habitat projects.
Ratzlaff said the Hook family was similar to other Habitat families in the respect that even after working hard on their own homes, their living conditions had not greatly improved.
John Gingerich, president of Lawrence Habitat for Humanity, said the house would have four bedrooms and would be larger than previous Habitat projects. The cost of the project will be about $33,000, he said.
Gingerich said the Houks would follow a payment plan similar to other Habitat families and pay back the price earlier than expected.
Esther Barnes, the recipient of the third Habitat house, which is in the renovation process, said she could not afford it.
"They gave me an opportunity to have a home for my son," she said. "It makes Lawrence nice place to live."
