Limeliters Quiz UDK Reporter
By Pam Christiansen
"The auditorium hasn't been this crowded since they inaugurated the new Chancellor," a woman said at the Limeliters concert in Hoch Auditorium Saturday night.
It was intermission time and the capacity audience was reluctant to take a break. Backstage, however, the Limeliters seemed glad for the chance to relax and eat dinner.
Lou Gottlieb, bass man, nodded and turned to the reporter, "Would you like some cole slaw?"
"THEY EVEN SOLD out the programs," said Glenn Yarbrough, guitar-playing tenor, as he held a half-eaten hamburger.
The reporter shook her head and asked, "Don't you get tired of eating on the run and touring all the time?"
Alex Hassilev stopped picking at his banjo and said, "Sure, the only sane reason for going on tour is to make money. Why, are you thinking of going on tour?"
AND THAT WAS HOW the interview began. Every time the reporter asked a question, the Limeliters shot back with a question of their own and the reporter began wondering who was interviewing whom.
"We were talking to a foreign student the other day," Gottlieb said, "and he said we are very popular in Uruguay."
"Why don't you go abroad, then," the reporter asked.
"No one has asked us, that's why," Gottlieb quipped.
"Tours are very self-defeating." Hassilev said. He added that once a group performs in a city, their chances of going back to that city and getting as good a response are very slim.
"DO YOU COLLECT the songs you sing?" the reporter asked Gottlieb.
"No, I don't have time for that," he answered. "Like that song about Vicki Duggan, a woman in Berkeley, California wrote the words to that."
"I could just see you out in the foot hills with a tape recorder," Yarbrough laughed.
"What kind of music do you like?" Hassilev asked the reporter.
SLIGHTLY TAKEN ABACK, she answered. "Jazz, mostly."
The conversation turned to jazz, then. Gottlieb began mimicking Louie Armstrong, using the latest jazz jargon.
"Don't you like jazz?" the reporter asked him.
Raising his eyebrows, Gottlieb answered in a faked English accent,
"My dear, I have been a jazz fan all my life."
"Why did you go into folk singing, then?" she asked.
"BECAUSE I'M NOT a very good piano player and because there wasn't any work," he quipped. "I did work in a California ballroom for a while, though," he said. "I got tired of looking at the way people danced there, though," he said as he imitated the dancers.
Then the lights in the auditorium blinked and Gottlieb said to his partners, "Well, let's go out there and give them thar people some more of this here fine folk music."
Yarbrough and Hassilev laughed, Gottlieb winked at the reporter, and they went back on stage to sing more of their satirical folk songs. Before they could leave the stage again, they were called back for two encores and received a standing ovation.

Model UN May Admit Red China Says Piggot
The chairman of the Model United Nations Communist Bloc told the Arab bloc yesterday that Red China's admission to the UN is inevitable.
The Communist bloc leader, Pat Piggot, Kansas City, Mo., senior, spoke at a scheduled Arab bloc meeting at the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity House.
"The power of the UN no longer lies with Communist or Western blocs," he said. "The power is now with the African, Asian and Arab members."
PIGGOT SAID if enough of these nations banded together, they could easily put the Red China proposal through.
Dan Patz, Mission junior and chairman of the Jordan delegation, asked Piggot if there was a split between the Soviet Union and Red China. Patz said he understood that the Soviet Union was demanding payment from Red China for the Korean War debt.
"There is no split," Piggot said. "We are merely putting pressure on Red China to make her pay money that she owes. The same pressure technique has been used by the United States in collecting money from Britain."

"Communism does not deny all religion," Piggot said. "The Communist doctrine does not recognize religion, but it does allow religious organizations to exist."
