KU alumni return for annual band day
By STEVE BOYCE
When Harold Lyle came to the University of Kansas in 1913, the fight song "I'm a Jayhawk" was, if anything, an unpublished ditto in George "Dumpy" Bowles brain.
Lytle, now 78 years old and graduated from the University 56 years ago, trumpeted that fight song and other traditional University music Saturday when the second annual University of Kansas Alumni Band, comprised of 100 former KU bands, performed at halftime and during the Kansas-Oklahoma football game.
During the halftime, Russell L. Wiley, professor emeritus of music, who was director of bands at KU when many of the Alumni Band members were performing, conducted the Alumni Band through the 1990s with Space Odyssey," and "Voice of the Guns."
The Alumna Band joined the KU Marching
Band at the annual halftime show. She's Stars and Slowers forever.
THE ALUMNI BANDSMEN come from all walks of life, all age groups and almost all parts of the country. Despite the differences among them, the bandsmen were assembled for one overriding reason—they love the University.
Derele Knepper, a retired Kansas journalist who played in the KU concert band in 1956 and 1967, said, "If you've got something to teach, don't waste your time. University of Kansas, where you learned so much—the professors you had, the learning accomplished—to me that is just nothing new." Knepper also learned. We started out new, and Kansas is what taught us which way to go."
These alumni came back. From as far away as Washington, Massachusetts, Virginia and Indiana, they returned with battered instruments and anecdotes from 1870 and 1871, and they left with swollen lips and a renamed pride as members of the University.
DAVIS CRAWFORD came from Hampton, Va., to be a part of the Alumni Band. He graduated from KU with a degree in engineering physics in 1951, and later earned his master's degree at Virginia职业技术学院。他works as an assistant NASA employee in the NASA with these credentials of achievement, he was a failure at KU in one respect.
"You know," Crawford said, "when I was here one of the big things was to go up 14th Street hill—how good your car would go up 14th Street hill. If it would go up at all, it was a pretty good car. If it would go up in second, it was even better.
“One guy had really hopped up his car—and put a lot of special things on it—his would go the hill in high. And I wanted to see him out there with a barrier —I couldn't get up that hill.”
THE DAY WAS ONE of reminiscences. It showed in their conversations, actions and words what they had been through.
"You kinda come back because of the wonderful memories you had from when you were here," said John Weatherway, a 1942 KU graduate and Lawrence resident
"You have such great memories that you think, well, maybe I can act it all out again. Maybe I can grab a few minutes of that so much fun while it was happening."
"Those Nebraska roots—they're pretty rough up there," said Lyle of the Nebraska football game of 1915. "They had cushions they were sitting on and they started throwing the cushions at the band and accented it." He hit one with one—hit the slide and just snapped it."
alumni said and did things that indicated some things haven't changed that much
KNEPPER SAID OF his entry to Lawrence Friday, "We saw one bad sign when we came in from Leavenworth. Some dirty rotten rat had turned a KU Jayhawk into that old lousy purple color and had written KSU on top of it."
The Alumni Band was instructed to play
Bommer Sooner" after each Oklahoma
tour. (Kevin McCarthy)
When OU scored its second touchdown, an aumnum stood up to direct the Sooner fight at 10:58 p.m. on Monday, looked at the grinning sea of red in the stadium horsehoeze, then calmly turned and came back to the field.
But if rivalries and school spirits haven't changed that much, the campus has, and most bandsmen noted physical growth as the major change in the University.
And in acting it all out again, several
WEATHERWAX TOLD of a conversation of the previous night with George Drew, a 1940 graduate living in Massachusetts who attended to the University Friday for the first time.
"George said, 'Where are we supposed to meet tomorrow morning?' I said. 'The band room of Murphy Hall.' George said, "Where's Murphy Hall? And?" I said, "Across from Allen Field House." And George said, "Where in the hell's Allen Field House? Just
And another change in the University that several bandmen noted was the addition of a new chair.
where it is from Hoch? So I said, 'Dow the
hill it is from George when he last in 40
King George.'
Marianne Lee Parmiter, Elorha Davis and June Frenghill are said to have told the fall of 1923 newspapers proclaimed, "This year women will march in the KU band for the first time."
THESE WOMEN were in the band during
the march, and marcheled when the men
were away to the city.
"I was here from 43 through 47." "Pmriter said, "that was when they didn't have enough men to march, and they had to—didn't they didnt want to—oh they didn't want to."
Many alumi bandmen played at KU in
"30s, "40s and "50s and counted memories of
their former bands.
"He is a tremendous person," said Dick Jenner, who played in the band 1934-1938 and now lives in Belleville, Wash., just outside of Seattle. "I called him the past week, direct dial to his home and said, this is Dick Jenner, I doubt if you remember him," said Jenner, well, I remember if we used to call你 Richard." I said yeet it had been 40 years."
SEVERAL OF THE bandsman mentioned Wiley's strict discipline. His weekly day班 practices began at 7:30 a.m., and if a band member wasn't there exactly on time, the door was locked. A bandsman was allowed two absences—the third was made per

Shankel says quote misleads
quality travel since 1951
Shankel said that the assumptions made the report were clearly stated and that he followed them.

But Parmertar said Wiley never had to raise his voice. He just used a harsh glare and had an ability to "swell and grow about six inches when something happened."
miter, the KU concert band was in Hoch Auditorium warmup on for a radio concert and a bartonite player hadn't shown up yet. The band's drummer moment a speeding, bicycling baritoneist raced through the doors of Hoch, down the aisle, off his bike and into his seat before the first beat of the concert. But he made it with his antics he incurred the wrath of Wiley.
The report didn't contain flaws, Shankel said. It is based on a set of assumptions, which is required in any type of statistical analysis, he said.
"Any organization that has always had discipline has always had pride. And that's the point."

Shankel was quoted as saying that 'a number of researchers conducted situational Research and Planning (ORP) contained several flaws. The ORP report investigated how well our dsmidm teaching system worked.'
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
