Professional musicians work with students
BY CHRIS HORN
Music students will work one-on-one with members of the National Symphony Orchestra when it stops in Lawrence for a residency program next month.
Each year, the National Symphony Orchestra spends at least a week in a different state for its residency program. The annual program, founded in 1992, consists of educational and professional activities throughout the chosen state. Symphony members and directors will spend three days in Lawrence, working with elementary and secondary school students, and with students and faculty from the University's School of Fine Arts.
Margaret Marco, assistant protec-
sor of Oboe, was excited that her
students will get the opportunity
to work with oboists in the national orchestra.
"It's good for them to hear different styles and players," Marco said.

Even though the residency's week-long program in Kansas ends March 30, KU students and faculty still have a chance to work with the National Symphony Orchestra. The Kennedy Center and National Symphony Orchestra offer a summer institute for young musicians, ages 14 to 21. As part of the residency program, up to six Kansas students have the opportunity to receive scholarships to the institute. The Kennedy Center will also select a Kansas music teacher to travel to Washington, D.C. to take part in a program that will develop the teacher's professional and musical skills. The chamber

DINING SERVICES
Students could shape menus
BY MARK DENT
After dining for more than a semester on campus, Courtney Rellihan has learned an important lesson: Stay away on Sundays.
"They have days," the Prairie Village freshman said, "when I just don't want to eat there."
Rellihan and other University of Kansas students could be eating tastier food soon, even on Sundays. KU Dining Services may let students share recipes from home with the dining halls.
Nona Golledge, KU Dining Services director, said it is one of the services" goals" and will likely be finalized later this semester.
When the program is finished, students would go to the KU Dining Services Web site to submit a recipe. A menu committee would look at the submissions and decide if it could make the meal. If a student's dish is chosen, it would be named after him or her.
or in the summer.
"The idea gives a bit more engagement and enjoyment for our customers, which is what we want to do," Goldeg said.
The GSP-Corbin Hall dining hall already asked students to share recipes during a homemade cookie contest earlier this year. Golledge said KU Dining Services has also collected cooking ideas off and on in the past.
meal lineup, they will be following the example of other college caterers. According to an Associated Press article, universities such as Georgia, Harvard and Connecticut are using the dishes to cure home sickness and create more variety KU Dining Services motive for collecting recipes is to give students more freedom to choose their food.
When the dining hall starts incorporating students' recipes into their
"Everyone wants to participate and have more input into their meals." Gollege said. "It gives them more of a connection."
One possible problem with the plan is that it might not complement health food programs at the University such as "Better Bites", Ann Chapman, Coordinator of Nutritional Health at the Wellness Resource Center, said home-cooked meals likely would not be as nutritious as the healthy alternatives the dining halls serve now.
"Some people cook healthy at home; some people don't," she said. "The better options in the eating halls are already there."
"If they're good recipes" she said,
"then it would be great."
The home-cooked meals could lack the nutritional value of other available foods, but the program could succeed as long as students such as Rellihan enjoy the new dishes.

Celebs speak out against
Chinese rule over Tibet
BERLIN — Richard Gere on Monday urged Germany, which holds the European Union and G-8 presidencies, to press China about its human rights record and Tibet.
Gere, a longtime advocate of the Tibetan cause, argued at a news conference that the twin
presidency marks "a historic moment for Germany to step forward"
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has publicly raised the broader issue of human rights with Chinese leaders, saying during a visit to Beijing last May that they are "an important issue of bilateral dialogue."
"This is a moment of great possibility for ... not just punishing but encouraging China to become part of the modern world," he said. "Tibet should be ever-present in any discussion with China."
Gere, 57, was in the German capital for the annual Cinema for Peace gala. It gathers celebrities to raise money for humanitarian organizations such as the U.N. Children's Fund.
China has exercised an often harsh, intrusive rule over Tibet since communist troops marched into the region in 1950.
Also attending was rocker and anti-poverty campaigner Bob Geldof, who echoed Gere's call for action on China.
"It is probably the job of Germany this year, the privilege of Germany this year to embrace China into the international norms that are expected of behavior," Geldof said.
