Feelings rule music, writer says
By PAM EKEY
Staff Reporter
Propped up in bed 'sunday mornings,
Newsweek magazine on her left, papers,
pencils and erasers scattered on her right,
diamond, Manhattan senior, composes music.
"When I get tired, I either fall asleep or read my Newsweek. Then I write some response."
Burkhard will hold a recital of composes worked at 8 tonight in Swarouth where
Although she is majoring in music composition, Burhard said composition was her favorite.
Engineers' show to open
"IT'S VERY painful knowing that everything I write is not good, but there is real joy in hearing an instrument produce a sound as you intend it to sound. There's something that can compare with a composition piece being done, and been done well."
"I have to work very hard at it," she said.
Because I know I'm not a Beevor or a hamster.
"Engineers: Exploring New Frontiers" will be the theme of the Engineering School Council's 57th exposition this Friday and Saturday.

Ideas for a musical score are difficult to formulate. Burkhard said. She said she rarely 'ad an inspiration, but had to keep a time to sit down and consciously write.
"That's what my Sunday mornings are for."
She usually jets down an idea and then works with it, modifying and changing it until it fits the mood of the piece she is writing. Burkhard said.
SHE SAID SHE BELIEVED in the romantic ideal that with music, words weren't necessary to express a feeling, and her music reflects her moods.
"I think I get my emotions rule the music too much, but that is not unhealthy, because I am a great listener," she said.
idealistic, because I still believe you can make money by selling music that has
Modern composers are sacrificing their emotions to write pieces that aren't upsettting to anybody, she said, by finding a way to repeat it and then repeating it in every piece they write.
BECAUSE OF ITS emotion, Burkhard said, her music sometimes upsets people, but to write without emotion would be to compromise herself. Pieces written without emotion are a formula all sound the same, she said, so we work to make each composition unique.

"YOU ETHER have to be able to play the instrument or have a good friend who can," Burkhard said, because a composer has to hear the piece.
To write music, a composer must be familiar with the instrument she is writing for and know the inherent problems in the instrument. Burkhard said.
Burkhard said she was uncertain about her future. She has applied to some graduate schools, where she wants to study piano accompaniment.
"I don't think they're feeling anything from the music," she said. "I'm too
As an alternative, she said, "I've visions of going to New York and living a puper's life."

At any price you can afford to be choosy.
Because the value of every diamond is determined by four characteristics (cut, color, clarity and carat weight), you can always use these qualities to your best advantage.
Perhaps you're attracted by the grandeur of a large diamond. Well, sometimes a large stone can cost the same as a smaller one. Simply because it has a little more color. Or a delicate birthmark hidden inside.
In any case, you'll be able to find one to suit your personality. Because each one is an individual, with its own combination of characteristics And you can use these qualities any way you wish, to help you decide what's precisely right for you.
On the other hand, you may feel size isn't the most important quality. Then you could choose a diamond that's small, but perfectly cut to sparkle with an icy-white elegance.
But the important thing to remember is to buy a diamond engagement ring you'll be happiest with. You'll be sharing it for a lifetime with someone you love.
And for that reason alone, you should be choosy.
Adiamond is forever.

lawsuit filed by Timothy Albertson, a former University of Kansas student, then head of the church in Kansas, who said that Elwell had violated his right to perform marriages. Elwell refused yesterday to comment.
AN INTERNAL REVENUE Service spokesman said that ministers as self-employed individuals could be exempt under certain conditions from self-employment taxes, and that personal property that was proved to be used for governmental purposes was not. However, ministers do pay taxes, she said. Bill Lacey, state department of revenue
spokesman, said the church wouldn't be exempt from paying sales and excise taxes, but state tax exemptions would be similar to allowable federal exemptions.
Any religious organization would have to show proof that personal property was being used for religious purposes, according to Tuck Duncan, attorney for the state court. In some cases, before the state can declare the personal property exempt from ad valorem taxes.
The Topeka office of the Better Business Bureau said that the church was a certified religious organization, but a spokesman said the office couldn't comment any further.
