Band tours eventful professor reminisces
Tours of the KU Symphonic Band have often been eventful, as remembered by one tour guest.
Russell Wiley, professor emeritus of music, reminisced Monday about previous tours as the band prepared for a tour this week in Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska.
During the Dust Bowl days of the 30s in Kansas, the band played, "Ain't no Mountain." said, the band player.
Wiley, who had conducted the band from fall of 1934 to spring of 1968, said that the band had toured almost every year except during World War II. The band lost more than 80 men in six months because of wartime enlistments, he said.
He said the dust was so thick he could have written his name on the bedspread in his room. If a person who knew him had been sitting in the back of the auditorium during the performance, Wiley said he didn't even have been able to see that person.
"I bet the kids would remember that," he said. "Well, to me, they're still kids."
The band also had to work around the weather. Wiley said the band was coming back from a tour engagement in Colby when a snowstorm was reported.
One of his clarinets had to be carried over the dish, Wiley said.
"I had the orchestra and band, about 175 kids with five or six buses. I was so busy with the kids that I didn't pay any attention to the weather," he said.
There was more than six inches of snow, he said, and several travelers were stranded for a day or two, but the University ground missed the storm.
Wiley said there was also some trouble with the buses used for transportation of the bus.
Once, when the band was on a tight schedule trying to get to Hutchinson on time for a concert, the bus was stopped and the driver was fined for speeding. Wiley said.
In 1938 when the band was going from Evanville, Ind. to Washington, D.C., and it was delayed five hours at a weight station. The bus was overweight, and the band
"We missed two meals and lodging," he said. "The kids ate burgers and we slept in the buses. They never complained." The lodging would have been in the homes of community people. Even today, on the tour to KU Symposium, students will stay in community homes, Robert E. Foster, current director of the band, said.
Wiley said that not only was putting
Bug control alternatives researched
Science is attempting to synthesize conditions in the insect world to control the ubiquitous bug, Robert Beer, professor of entomology, said last week.
Beer said that since the use of insecticides had been discouraged by environmentalists, science had begun to search for alternatives in bug control.
"Insects are susceptible to colds, athlete's foot, asthma and other illnesses that affect man," he said. "Sometimes we can provoke these diseases among insects and it works beautifully. But other times efforts to spread disease don't affect them."
One method of control being tested is the use of suspended bacteria and fungi spores to spread artificial diseases among insects, he said.
Entomologists can't explain why this occurs, Beer said, but research is being conducted throughout the country to perfect the technique.
Two other methods of bug control that are being examined are the use of pheromones and juvenile hormones, according to Bell, associate professor of entomology.
Bell and research in these areas at the university being conducted exclusively with cellwork.
Bell explained that pheromones served as a warning to tell male insects where females could be.
He said an area treated with pheromones could be used to deter insects of interest to be trapped and killed.
Researchers at KU have successfully purified the pheromones of cockroaches, but a method of synthesizing the substance hasn't been found. Bell said.
Cockroaches exposed to juvenile hormones are unable to mature normally, he said. That causes adults to become sterile and unable to be able to reach adulthood, Bell said.
students in people's homes good public universities, but also the students enlisted it.
"People talk about KU. People are interested," he said. "Families entertain students as guests. Students eat with them and that's better than a cafeteria meal."
Touring is a good experience for young musicians, but it also said, because it gives them a sense of freedom.
The KU Symphonic Band will be on tour

The band tour program also includes "Don Juan;" "Marche Poloftienne;" "Hands across the Sea;" "Pineapple Poll, Suite from the Ballet;" "Perpetual Motion;" "Two Shades of Chicago," and the overture to "Candide," all arranged by James Barnes, musical arranger for the University bands.
There was considerable opposition to the 19th and Haskell site by residents of that area, 888 people in the area signed a petition opposing the garage site in their neighborhood, and the City Commission rejected that site.

Garage debate continues...
On Nov. 12, the City Commission voted to go ahead with plans to build the garage at Second and Indiana. This vote was in opposition to the planning commission's recommendations, and the site was the consultants' second choice.
"It was not possible for us," Roe said, "to put this facility on a site the planning commission said met the comprehensive requirement was also highly rated by the consultant."
"We have not ridden roughshod over the recommendations of the planning commission and the consultants because their recommendations were in conflict."
The debate over the garage location has become more heated since Nov. 12. Opponents of the garage say the City Commission hasn't listened to the planning commission, and the Commission has ignored the suggestion for which it paid the Users $5,000.
The only site that met the comprehensive plan was 23rd and Husell. That site was in the heart of the city, northwest of the
In replying to the allegations, Rose said, "They're incorrect. We have listened to
them. What we have not done is exactly what they want us to.
In December, opponents began circulating petitions that called for a reconfiguration of the city's petitions bearing 3,600 names were submitted to the City Commission. They asked the city to rescind its decision on the garage building in which city refused, the petition asked for a vote.
the petition was referred to City Clerk Vera Merca to determine whether the 2,500 necessary signatures could be verified. In addition, the Commission asked Allen to rule on whether the question of the garage was legislative or administrative. Earlier this month a location of the garage was administrative, and therefore not subject to a referendum.
Collateri then asked Paddock to grant a
collarier order, ordering against the
girl, as granted.
Faddock will also rule on whether the garage location is an administrative or leased property.
If Paddock's decision is delayed, the
garage location dispute may not be settled until the new city commission takes office. Three members of the commission will be elected April 1.
Rose said that he was concerned about this possibility, and that he would like to see the garage project sufficiently along so that it is irreversible by the next commission.
"I've lost some sleep over this." Rose
said, "but I haven't test bed over whether it's the best site for that facility."
"What we have," he said, "is an honest difference of opinion. I can't convince them that this is a good site for the garage, and there is no way they can convince me it is a bad site. The only thing to be done at this site is to find out what the legal situation is."
