Quartet lauded by listeners
By Jill White Of the Kansan staff
The Guarneri String Quartet's performance last night was lauded as "excellent." "'wonderful'" and "marvelous" by KU professors and students who attended the concert in the Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall.
About 520 people attended the concert, which also featured Metropolitan Opera soprano Benita Valente on one selection.
Howard Boyajian, professor of violin, said that Guarneri was frequently described as the best string player in America, and he lived up to their reputation last night.
"It was wonderful," Michael Kimber, director of strings, said last night. "The delicacy and sensitivity of some of the quieter passages was very impressive."
"They played with marvelous precision," he said. "I can't imagine the songs could have been played any more authoritatively."
This is the 11th consecutive year
Guarneri has performed in KU's Chamber Music Series.
Stan Shumway, chairman of music, said, "The performance was excellent - tops."
Kimber attributed the quartet's success to individual strength inseparable.
The quartet comprises first violinist Arnold Steinhardt, second violinist John Dalley, violist Michael Tree and cellist David Soyer. On musical selections that call for three parts, Dalley plays first violin, Kimber said.
"They are an excellent ensemble, yet each member retains his own individuality." Kimber said. "The story goes that when they formed the band, I wanted to mine who would play first and second violin and who would play viola."
This season's performance at KU was the first to include a vocal solist. Valente was featured with the quartet for a performance of Schoenberg's Quartet No. 2 in F-sharp minor for voice and strings, Opus 10. The work features texts by
German symbolist poet Stefan
George.
Denise Myers, assistant professor of voice, said, "She (Valente) had an amazing quality of voice control. I liked what she did with the piece and I would have liked to hear more of her."
Laura Kirk, Lecompton sophomore, said, "As a voice major, it was really encouraging to hear someone like her."
The rest of the program by Guarneri included Mendelssohn's Quartet in E-flat major, Opus 44, No.3 and Dvorak's Quartet in C major, Opus 61.
Raymond Stuhl, professor emeritus of fine arts and former director of the Concert and Chamber Music Series, said, "It's amazing how they've retained their enthusiasm after 20 years of grueling performances. They still play with beautiful variety and imagination."
"The last movement of Mendelssohn was the most successful." Kimber said.
United Fund to color in Jayhawks
By Susie Bishon
Of the Kansan staff
Five black and white Jayhawks hope to receive full color between now and Nov. 15.
The Jayhawk billboards mark the University of Kansas' progress in reaching its goal for the United Fund, Michael Davis, dean of law and chairman of the KU division of the fund, said yesterday.
The 1985 United Fund drive to raise $70,000 from students, faculty and alumni began Tuesday.
The five signs, placed at both campus entrances on Jayhawk Boulevard and at the corners of Iowa and 15th streets, Iowa and 23rd streets and Naismith Drive and Sunnyside Avenue, will be updated every time the building is overseen toward the goal, said Tom Anderson, director of facilities operations.
Davis said his assistant chairman,
Del Brinkman, dean of journalism,
was in charge of determining when
and how much of the five Jayhawks
will be the fund chairman next year.
"There will be no solicitation on campus other than through the mail." Davis said. "We are trying to keep it on a professional plain."
Instead, posters, signs and mailings will be used to keep attention focused on the fund drive.
The United Fund helps finance Headquarters Inc., 1419 Massachusetts St., Rape Victim Support Service, 1419 Massachusetts St., and provides money to the University so KU law students can help poor people in Douglas County obtain legal counsel.
"KU didn't quite reach last year's goal of $71,000," said Joe Bryant, executive director of the United Fund in Lawrence. KU raised about $69,000, only $2,000 short of its goal.
Because KU almost reached last year's challenge goal, the new goal was reduced only by less than 1½ percent. Bryant said.
KU reached its goal of $50,000 in 1982. The University's goal was increased by almost 30 percent for 1983.
"Last year's goal was a tremendous challenge," Bryant said. "We weren't at all disappointed."
The largest portion of the county goal is the $300,000 that business and industry is expected to raise. The second largest dollar amount should be brought in by KU, Bryant said.
Douglas County's United Fund drive is striving to reach its goal of $500,000.
Showing and telling planned for parents
By Bengt Ljung Of the Kansan staff
A smoke tunnel will help make aerodynamics understandable for visiting parents and high school students at the 66th Annual Engineering Exposition.
Look, Ma. It flies.
In the smoke tunnel, fluorescent green jets of smoke hug a model airplane wing. The lifting power is made visual by the smoke curving over the Plexiglas wing. This is what makes the plane fly.
The exposition is one of many events taking place at KU professional schools today and tomorrow for Parents Day.
"If you raise the wing you can eventually see the air flow dropping in the back of the wing, and the plane will stall out at about a 20-degree angle," Louis Hendrick, Kirkland, Wash., junior, said yesterday, demonstrating the smoke tunnel at Learned Hall.
"We try to do things that people think are interesting," Hendrick said. "It must be easily understood and visualized for non-engineers."
He said parents liked to see what their sons and daughters did at the University.
The smoke tunnel is one of four projects to be displayed by the KU student chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the Engineering Exposition from noon to 6 p.m. today and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. tomorrow at Learned Hall.
The exposition was moved up two weeks this year to coincide with Parents Day, according to Chris Baxter, president of Engineering Student Council and Salina sophomore.
Nine engineering societies will show 16 projects. Exhibits include a rocket engine using solid fuel, mechanical designs with computers, oil well production and vehicle safety designs.
Hendrick said he spent two days making his engineering society projects work.
While the School of Engineering hopes for 1,200 visitors for its combined exposition and Parents Day, the School of Pharmacy only expects a dozen people for its open house with the faculty tomorrow morning.
David Schulenburger, associate dean of business, said that parents showed up for the open house at the School of Business because they had specific questions to ask.
"It's a good opportunity for the students to let their parents meet their favorite teacher. We have no problems," and it's very social," she said.
Mary Wallace, assistant dean of journalism, said she expected 100-150 people at the School of Journalism.
The School of Architecture and Urban Design has invited patrons of freshmen to a picnic by Potter Lake after its open house tomorrow morning. Max Lucas, dean of architecture and urban design, will discuss boxed lunches but that walk-ins would also be accepted.
Morning receptions also are planned tomorrow by the departments of chemistry, psychology and African studies, the office of study abroad, the language laboratory, computing services, the College honors program and military sciences.
