Liquor law necessary, author says
By PATRICIA FEENY
Staff writer
Controls on liquor consumption are like controls on nuclear energy - effective - a KU research associate and author said yesterday.
Robert Bader, the researcher, said that taking controls off liquor consumption was like removing current regulations on the Wolf Creek nuclear power plant. Bader spoke at Smith Hall in an event sponsored by the Department of Religious Studies.
In July, Bader published a book,
"The History of Prohibition in Kansas.
During his speech, he presented heights of his research in a slide show.
"Our past with prohibition does not serve our present well," he said. "We don't want to bring back prohibition but bring out the strengths of our past."
Bader concluded from his research that prohibition and constitutional prohibition were not completely beneficial policies but had some important points.
Bader said the drinking laws in Kansas were effective just as the nuclear laws were effective. He said he should stay with policies that worked.
Bader said the problem with liquor controls was education. People are uninformed about the proposed amendment to the Kansas Constitution that would allow liquor by the drink in public places and about current Kansas drinking laws.

Concert of spooky numbers led by costumed conductors

Chen and the members of the orchestra plan to treat tonight's concert a little differently by performing in Halloween costumes.
When Zozhuang Chen, conductor of the University Symphony Orchestra, stands behind the baton tonight, he'll be despairing some of his talent.
But members certainly will find out who is sitting in the next seat when they join to perform at the second annual Halloween concert sponsored by the University's Music Department and the Pi Kappa Alpha Music Honor Society. The concert will benefit the society's scholarship fund.
Each section of the orchestra will have some common theme that each member will try to follow when determining a costume. Chen said
"determining a costume"
"Each will have a creative idea"
Although Halloween comnotes ugly and scary ideas, Chen said, the actual music is quite beautiful despite some of the titles. Butches, Sabbath and Funeral were performed at Dresses of Spirits" and "Orpheus in the Underwater Overture
Chen said that tonight's selections were "light classical," not too serious and not too heavy.
"Overall, we are trying to draw more than just the regular concergoers," Chen said, "so we use a popular style to draw other people.
potential. Last year's performance in front of a standing-room only audience in the Kansas Union Ballroom raised more than $1,000.
Because the crowd was so big last year, the 80-piece orchestra and seven of Chen's student conductors will perform in Hoch Auditorium.
"The conducting students deserve the opportunity to conduct an orchestra." Chen said, who assigned the pieces to each of his students.
"I assigned a piece that will help the student develop the conducting skills he needs."
The music selected for the Halloween concert has a wide range of
emotions: love, sadness, joy and excitement, said Lisa Tannebaum. Chicago, Ill., graduate student. She characterized the works as "classical pop pieces."
Both Tannebaum, who plays the harp for the orchestra, and Chen said that because the element of surprise was important for the concert, they would not elaborate on their costume choices.
Tannebaum said that last year she was dressed as a mermaid, which would have hindered her playing ability if she had not split the fin so that she could work the harp's seven pedals.
Although the Halloween concert was designed for entertainment, the orchestra members still take the music seriously, Tannabea said.

and piccolo, agreed.
"People design their costumes to be creative," Garland said, "but they still consider that they have to move around."

"Basically, it was just supposed to be fun, but the music was serious," Garland said.
Chen said that he did not try to find out what the other conductors where going to wear.
"That's part of the surprise," he said. "I didn't ask. I wanted to save some room for their creativity."
"I think it will be a great deal of fun for the orchestra and the audience, but primarily for the audience." Chen said.

Some KU students said they would come alive tonight for Halloween, a traditional celebration of the dead, while others said they would stay at home and play dead.
Students have expressed varying degrees of enthusiasm for Halloween, ranging from visible excitement and elaborate planning for Halloween night, to nonchalance and an almost hostile attitude toward Halloween festivities.

Every year on Nov. 1 the Cels celebrated Samhain, a festival that marked the beginning of the season of cold, darkness and decay. The festivities included a bonfire fueled by crops, animals and humans. The Cels believed that Samhain, the Celtic lord of death, allowed the souls of the dead to return to their earthly homes for the evening.

Instead of buying a ready-made plastic costume at a discount store or using a sheet to dress up as a ghost, the Celts used the real thing — the skins and heads of animals that were to be sacrificed in the fire.

Pianist communicates 'most meaningful art'

The Denver Symphony Orchestra, with André-Michael Schubl, perform a concert of music from Tchaikovsky, Hakushu, and Kuznetsov at the KU Concert Series at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Hoch Auditorium. Tickets are $12 for the general public, and $15 and $14 for senior citizens and other students. Tickets are purchased at the Murray Hall Box Office.
His fingers are at home on the white ivory keys of the piano and his running shoes are familiar with the streets of New York.
It is no surprise that André-Michel Schub, who will perform with the Denver Jazz at Auditorium this week, is a pianist on the run.
Schub runs from four to eight six-minute miles almost every day. The combination of this training contributes to his emotional and physical health.
In 1981, Schub was the Grand Prize Winner of the Van Cliburn International Competition. This prize gave him a $12,000 cash award, a two-year recording contract and concert engagements. It also brought attention and praise from audiences and critics.
He has appeared with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Chicago Symphony and the Los Angeles
Schub has been called timeless, perfect, passionate, spontaneous and dazzling.
"Whatever I am playing, that date is my favorite, that is ideal." Schub said. "I play exclusively for that time."

He said that wherever he played and that whomever he played to, he tried to communicate the elements of the music.
elements of the music.
"Different people have different ways of reacting," he said.
"Because there are different listeners every time, the music will come across differently."
During his concerts, Schub said,
he wants to expose his audience to
different and wonderful things.
He said he hoped KU students would enjoy the concert Wednesday.
"There is no question that it will be great classical music." Schub said. "It is the most meaningful of all art forms. It communicates."
"I want it to be more significant than just turning on the radio," he said.
