Charmaine Wiley highlights concert
See ELECTION on page 4
The culmination of the first week of the Midwestern Music and Art Camp was the presentation of four week-end concerts.
The instrument is the closest forerunner of the grand piano. It was the first instrument that introduced the hammer striking strings. In the case of the Hungarian cimbalom, the strings are steel wires wrapped in steel and copper coating.
The special highlight was the performance of guest soloist Charmaire Asher Wiley on the Hungarian cimbalom, one of the rarest instruments in the musical world.
TO PLAY THIS instrument,
wooden mallets, wrapped in cotton
are used to strike the chords.
The same wood used in the mallets
is used in the construction of
violin bows.
According to some musicologists, this is the most difficult instrument to play. Mrs. Wiley accredits this to the fact that the instrument is so hard to play. Some of the strings can strike as many as three chords.
Mrs. Wiley obtained the Hungarian cimbalom in 1954. It came direct from Budapest, Hungary, and she purchased it from a New York buyer.
EACH WEEKEND the musical campers perform in four separate concerts. The first concert, which is new this year, is the twi-light concert on Friday night on the east side of Allen Field House.
All of the other three concerts are held in University Theatre in Murphy Hall. The concerts feature all of the camp vocal and instrumental groups, which are made up from the 900 members of the camp.
This week's guest conductor, as in the tradition of the camp, was Harry John Brown, conductor of the Milwaukee Symphonic orchestra.
EACH OF THE four concerts were attended by large and receptive audiences as each was studded by the camp theme song "Irish Tune from County Derry."
Other conductors included Russell L. Wiley, director of the
camp; Kenneth Bloomquist, director of University of Kansas bands; Robert Dvorak; Ducan Couch; Gerald M. Carney, associate camp director; Konrad Scholl, David Catron; Harry Haines; Darrell Benne; and LeRoy Esau, camp administrative assistant.
The concerts will be presented each weekend for the next five and the public is invited.
This Friday the Red Band will perform in the twilight concert along with the concert band. The latter is made up of the top 90 music campers.
The Sunday afternoon concert will feature the two choral groups along with the symphonic orchestra. The Saturday afternoon performance and the one on Sunday night will feature the other bands.
Severinsencells KU appearance
Carl "Doc" Severinsen has had to cancel his performance slated for this summer here.
The famed trumpeter and conductor of the orchestra on the Johnny Carson Tonight Show, was to be a guest conductor for a week at the Midwestern Music and Art Camp and present a concert.
He reported to Russell L. Wiley that he would not be able to come as the National Broadcasting Company would not give him the time off. He is under contract and obligated to accompany the Tonight Show on a planned performance.
Last summer Severinsen appeared with Skitch Henderson and Bobby Rosegarden in concert, while Henderson was a guest conductor.
Wiley is seeking a substitute of* the same caliber as Severinsen, but will not disclose any names at this time.
Professor's professor-II
Wilson works with cons
By Don Wallace Journalism Camp Reporter
Paul E. Wilson, professor of the School of Law, is not a man who seeks the public eye.
Instead of traveling the relatively safe route of protecting the rights of the innocent, Wilson has chosen the frequently maligned and usually frustrating job of defending prisoners in Leavenworth and other state prisons. He does not expect applause.
Perhaps this is indicative of the type of man Wilson is. Exacting, honest in adhering to his ideals and yet careful that he never takes himself too seriously in a job where seriousness is inherent.
WILSON, WITH the active support of the Federal Department of Justice, launched the program of using law students as advisors to prisoners at Leavenworth and Lansing in 1965. The students hear and advise on the numerous complaints of the prisoners, and if they feel an appeal has merit, the case is reviewed and legal aid is provided by the state or Wilson.
His theory concerning the program is that "by giving the man correct legal advice, it will discourage frivolous legation."
THE "FRIVOLOUS legation" that Wilson speaks of was the burden that the State Bar had been struggling with for years, mainly due to the questions of the prisoners concerning parole, status, and charges filed by other states.
The use of student advisors was incorporated into the Criminal Law Training program at KU, of which Wilson is project director. This training program recently received the largest grant ever given a law school by the National Legal Aid and Defender Association.
Wilson, in keeping with his own actions in the field of the rights of the imprisoned, believes that "The highest relative value in the world is human life and personality. My efforts focus upon respect for life and personality—and prisoners are still human beings."
All too often a personal philosophy shows only what a man intended to do; but, for Wilson, it shows what he has done, and what he will continue to do.
