Tex Beneke Week'in full swing Music of big bands alive at KU
The big band era may be gone, but the music is still alive, thanks in part to the big band sound of Gordon Lee "wet" Beneke and her Orchestra.
The group will be featured at a KU
homecoming dance Nov. 6 SUA
of hometowns.
Monday marked the beginning of "Tex Beneke Week," an opportunity for young people of all ages to listen and learn, as Student Union Activities presents a series of events featuring live jazz and dancing to the music of the '40s, said Irene Carr, SUA program adviser.
Starting Monday, the Kansas Room of the Kansas University echoed with tunes such as "In The Mood," "Tuxedo Junction" and "Moonlight Serenade" as dancers tried their hands at the foxrot, jitterbug and other steps that were popular during the big band era, she said.
Yesterday, the Chuck Berg Band appeared in front of the union, playing their own style of jazz. The band will be again from 12 to 1 p.m. tomorrow.
CARR SAID the activities were designed to prepare people for Bench
Exam.
"We want to get people thinking about it ahead of time," she said. "Most of the students on campus have never listened to that kind of music."
Carr said people who dressed in 1940s garb Friday would have a chance to win free tickets to the Benkei concert if they were picked out by SUA spotters who would be roaming the campus for the most convincing costumes.

Beneke played tenor sax and sang with the Glenn Miller Orchestra from 1939 until 1942, when Miller left to join the Army. In December 1944, Miller's plane disappeared over the English Channel on a flight from London to Paris. No trace of the plane or its occupants was ever found.
In 1945, Miller's wife gave Beneke the rights to Miller's music, and he ran a record store.

WARNING
Four KU students proved their computing prowess last weekend by placing third in a regional student computer programming contest.
KU computer buffs take third
WARNING to students enrolled in LA&S courses: Friday, October 29 is the last day to drop a class without petitioning the College. Normally, petitions are not granted except when they involve unusual circumstances which do not include poor performance in the course.
Herb Harris, the assistant director of user services for the Academic Computing Center, said recently that the students tied with the University of Nebraska in the number of problems solved, but because they used more computer time, they took third.
Kenneth Jordan, Lawrence junior; John Huxtable, Lawrence graduate student; Michael Hewlett, Lawrence senior; and Roy Leben, Lawrence junior, were the students on the team by the computing center, Harris said.
Each team in the contest, which was sponsored by the Association of Computing Machinery, was given six teams. The team that solved the most team

problems in that time won, Harris said.
The team from Washington University in St. Louis placed first by solving five of the problems, he said. KU and Nebraska both solved four problems, but the KU team used more computer time and had more runs.
TWENTY COLLEGES and universities were represented at the contest which was at the South Carolina State University, rapid City, S.D., Harford市.
The strategy of the KU team was for each member to do one problem, then work together on the last two problems, he said.
Leban said the other members of the team checked the programs, but because they had not worked closely with them, it was difficult for them to spot the errors.
He thought they could have done
better if they had changed their strategy, he said.
"We underestimated the complexity of some of the problems and made some small errors," Leban said.
"MOST OF the errors were caused by rushing." Leban said.
Jordan also said that having two people working on a problem would have helped.
One of the problems was relatively simple to solve, but it had a lot of details and the KU team made five or six errors on it, which cost them computing time, he said. If they had two people working on the more complex programs they could have rather than either and caught most of the mistakes.
Leban said the contest was enjoyable and said the team was looking into the possibility of sponsoring a contest this spring.
Seminar examines teaching of adults
By DAN PARELMAN Staff Reporter
Employees of the division of continuing education who normally spend their days teaching adults now are teaching each other in a seminar, the assistant to the dean of the division said recently.
"We ourselves want to understand how an adult learns," said Vivian Rogers, assistant to the dean of continuing education.
Rogers and Robert Senecal, dean of the division, are coordinating the seminar, "Adult Learning in the 1980s: The New Paradigm?" The seminar now runs every month.
Rogers said that at the most recent meeting of the seminar about 20 employees discussed the qualities of a good teacher of adults and the differences between the reasons why an adult
encers with the school and why a traditional
student encases with the school.
WORK DONE BY JANE LOEYINGER, an adult education researcher, indicated that a person's appearance was depicted as the person grew, Rogers said.
According to Loevinger's model, the stages range from pre-social, where the individual is self-centered, to integrated, where the individual has resolved inner-conflicts and cherishes individuality.
The graduate is at the conformist stage, Levoinger said. The impulse to learn at this level, she said, is shame, and the gradual introduction of rules and conformity to external rules.
Levinger said the graduate of a university has only reached the halfway point.
She said the conformist individual is

You know Jessie Branson cares about older people.
PART OF HER LIFE
The conclusions that the seminar participants reached about the other topic — what makes a good teacher of adults — were similar to the conclusions of researchers at the University of Chicago, Rogers said.
She's fought hard to make nursing homes more responsible and well-run, for better care in nursing homes.
She's promoted alternatives to nursing home care advocating improved transportation and health services for independent older people.
She's been on governors' committees on nursing homes and health planning. She's on the board of directors of Kansans for Improvement of Nursing Homes. Her degree is in nursing..
It's just a part of her life.
