Tunes hint of "1984 Prof savs music is influential
By Jill White Of the Kansan staff
From Judas Priest's "Eat Me Alive" to Motley Crue's "Live Wire," the controversial messages of modern rock have recently led to public debate on the regulation of music.
In a world where seeing is believing, many people do not recognize the power of music, whether positive or negative, in modern society, Paul Haack, acting dean of education, said last week.
Pro-regulation groups think music is manipulating and polluting the minds of the young, but other people think it is a tool for their freedom of musical choice.
To maintain the democratic ideals of the American society and at the same time avoid mind manipulation, people must become aware of the power of music, Haack said.
"Music has been a powerful
medium of communication throughout history," Haack said. "It tends to have the effect of gaining acceptance for its message regardless of how unconventional or disturbing, positive or negative, that message might be."
In the belligerent Oceania of Orwell's "1984," music is a tightly controlled commodity because of its ultimate power to manipulate human thought and behavior.
Haack said much of today's music related closely to George Orwell's imaginary world of "1984," where music was almost always used to curtail human dignity and freedom, to about the people's direct knowledge.
Many modern leaders recognize this power, Haack said. For example, in Russia a state commission determines the political suitability of new as well as old music. Similarly, one of America's large corporations
has advertised a seminar, "Music to Govern By (Sound Conditioning with Music)," Haack said.
Music therapists systematically employ music to influence behavior in a reasonably predictable manner. They generally use music to free people from the limitations of physical and mental problems and to restore their capacity to function fruitfully in society, said Haack, who is also a music therapist.
However, any medium that has the power to influence behavior so profoundly can obviously be employed for either negative or positive purposes, he said.
"Because of the pleasant connotations generally associated with it, music tends to gain acceptance for the message it accompanies." Haack said.

SENIORS Announcing Hilltoppers
The Jayhawker Yearbook is happy to announce the Hilltoppers. The Hilltopper Awards were established in the 1930's as the Jayhawker's way of recognizing those seniors who have made high calibre contributions to the University and/or the Lawrence community and have consistently displayed unselfish, responsible leadership in non-academic areas of campus life. The award was reestablished in 1984 in order that outstanding seniors may once again be recognized.
Criteria for selection includes:
—involvement and leadership in campus and community activities
—respect of the nominee's peers as-well-as his or her professors
—unselfish service to the campus and community
—references that can address the quality of the nominee's service
The nominations will be screened by a committee that includes KU faculty, student representatives, and the Jayhawker staff. Anyone can nominate a senior for this award and seniors can nominate themselves by picking up an application. Nomination forms and applications will be available at the Organizations and Activities Center, 403 Kansas Union, and the Yearbook Office, 121 B Kansas Union. Deadline for acceptance of nominations is Fri., Oct. 11, and the deadline for applications is Fri., Nov. 1, 1985.
