Brash Brass delights audience
Bv Grant W. Butler
Over the noise of the talking audience, the sound of a trumpet could be heard from the back of Hoch Auditorium.
Staff writer
The crowd became silent and turned around to see the five members of the Canadian Brass proceed down the aisle playing a jazz arrangement of the spiritual "Just a Closer Walk With Thee."
Last night's performance by the Brass combined the sounds of the Baroque masters and the jazz and blues kings of Bourbon Street in New Orleans with on-stage antics and comedy. About 3,000 people attended the performance, which was a part of the KU Concert Series.
But the Canadian Brass wasn't on campus just to perform for the patrons of the series. The Brass also was here to teach.
For an hour yesterday, the Brass conducted a clinic for the participants in the Midwestern Brass Chamber Music Workshop, which
was in Swarthout Recital Hall in Murphy Hall. About 250 people attended the afternoon workshop, which featured performances by the group and discussion of technique and their recorded performances.
The music the Brass plays in concert, said Charles Daellenbach, member of the Canadian Brass and tuba player, comes from many different sources.
we're taking music that we've all had experience with as brass players," Daellenbach said. "We've all played in jazz bands, dance bands and orchestras. We have a really wide background of experiences that we bring into our concerts."
The group also tries to be innovative, he said. In each of the group's four performances at Carnegie Hall in New York last year, they tried a new type of performance.
This turns around the old idea of testing new show ideas out of town before bringing them to New York, he said. "We try things out in New
The members discussed their next two albums — one of Mozart, one of Dixieland jazz. They also talked about their videos.
York and if it works we take it out on the road."
The group recorded a half-hour show for Canadian television, which featured five videos, Daellenbach said. The show is going to be expanded to an hour for American television.
The most important aspect of the ensemble's sound is the clarity, Martin Hackleman, Frech horn player, said.
"It's very much on everyone's mind that classical music should include videos — be more visual," he said.
"Playing in a small group is very different from playing in an orchestra," Hackleman said. "You're much more exposed."
But the comic aspects of the group's performance in Hoch caused eruptions of anapause and laughter.
The group spoofed the sound of
Medieval music by performing a suite of seven songs, during which the members played different parts of their dismantled instruments and over-dramatized the clanging of finger cymbals and tamborines.
During the performance or a Tribute to the Ballet, the ensemble members jumped and pirouetted their way through the music, dodging the trombone slide of Eugene Watts, who was wearing a tutu.
During one song, three of the Brass went into the audience to play.
"Just picture yourself in a medieval cathedral — sitting next to a tuba player." Watts said.
This blend of music and comedy is what makes a Canadian Brass performance pleasurable for the audience. Ronin M, trumpet player, said.
"It's very rewarding for the audience to get a glimpse of who we are and to see that we're very real," Romm said. "What you're seeing on the stage is us."
Advising, problems go hand in hand

It happens every semester at this time
Midterms are barely over and now students must face the hurdle of choosing and enrolling in classes for next semester.
Although early enrollment doesn't officially begin until April 7, a crucial part of the pre-enrollment process is to ensure that you begin to consult with their advisers.
Edwyna Gilbert, associate dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, said Friday that the University of Kansas designed its advising program to aid students.
"When students apply for admission to the University, they fill out a form asking them what they are interested in," she said. "We try to assign advisers according to each student's interest."
However, there seem to be several problems with the advising process. For example, a student could be assigned to an adviser who teaches a subject the student has no interest in, she said.
"Students who have no idea what they want to major in when they come to KU are a problem," Gilbert said. "We have to assign everyone to a department and an adviser whether or not they have declared a major."
Even if a student is assigned to an adviser who is not in that student's field of interest, the adviser still may recommend basic freshman or sophomore courses for the student to take, she said. Students may change advisers when they decide on a major.
There should be no problem with a student misunderstanding the advising process, Gilbert said.
"here is a letter inside each student's enrollment folder that says 'this is what you are assigned to and do.' There are supposed to do." Gilbert said.
If students follow directions, the advising and enrollment process will go smoothly, she said. But when they need to be on their own, they only wind up hurting themselves.
Students who fake their adviser's signature on their enrollment card create a serious type of advising problem, Gilbert said.
Although there is no direct punishment for forging an adviser's signature, she said, students could find themselves close to graduation and missing some necessary hours in order to assist advisers every time they enrolled.
Joe Vanzandt, coordinator of the advising support center, 4017 Wescow, said a statement freeing the University from responsibility soon would appear on enrollment cards. The statement will say the University is not responsible if students do not graduate on time because they lack necessary hours.
The statement will appear on enrollment cards after all current cards have been used.
advisers' signatures in order to enroll. Vanzand said.
Not all students are required to get
As complicated as it sometimes seems, KU's process of early enrollment and advising is similar to those used at other state universities.
A spokesman for the registrar's office at Kansas State University said students were required to have an adviser's signature.
A spokesman at the admissions office at the University of Nebraska said students were not required to have an adviser's signature to enroll.
Campers continue to protest
By Sandra Crider Staff writer
It's springtime at "Camp Big Bucksville" and, as tents multiply, campers are finding no shortage on excitement.
A yellow-painted shanty with a bamboo parasol was being constructed to educate people on the realities of life for blacks in South Africa, said Chris Bunker, Prairie Village law student.
About six to eight people, not always the same group, have been spending time at the campsite for the past week.
As of yesterday, there were eight tents and one nearly built shanty in front of Youngberg Hall on West Campus, home of the Kansas University Endowment Association. One of the tents was designated the mayor's tent and part-time tool shed. On its side the campers had painted "Invest in People RESPONSIBLY."
Black men must often leave their homes to take jobs in factories and mines. Not wishing to be separated from their husbands and fathers, families will illegally build shanties near the work site. Bunker said that sometimes the temporary housing was ignored and bulldozers demolished it.
"It's just a quick way of putting a roof over their head," he said. "It's often the only way families can keep together."
In the excitement category, campers had their first encounter with some members of a vocal, but anonymous, opposition, said Chuck Munson, Leawood junior.
About 2:30 Friday morning, two or three males in a car with its lights off pulled up to the campsite. Munson said they rudely voiced their contrary view and drove off.
Campers called KU police and filed a report, he said.
"It just goes to show what kind of racism still exists in this country." Munson said.
House passes bill clarifying associations
Staff writer

Bills that clarified endowment association and unclassified employee policies cleared hurdles in the Kansas Legislature over the long weekend.
The House yesterday gave final approval to a bill that would give endowment associations permanent authority to build structures on college campuses, said Jim Bibb, University director of business and fiscal affairs. The measure will return to the Senate for consideration of House amendments.
Endowment associations under the Board of Regents would be able to construct buildings on state-owned property and to repair, remodel or renovate state buildings with private funds.
The bill would turn the provisos into general law so that they would not be dropped inadvertently from the appropriation bills, as they have been in the past, he said.
"That bill was simply a clean-up bill," Bibb said. "It doesn't do anything we didn't have before."
Under the bill, capital improvement projects must be approved by the Regents, the secretary of administration, the Legislature's Joint Committee on State Building Construction and would become state property once completed.
