TV will create new technique, KC Symphony conductor says
by Mary Weeks Kansan staff writer
Television will bring forth new art forms just as the oral tradition brought forth poetry, the conductor of the Kansas City Symphony said last night.
William McGlaunchlin, musical director and conductor of the symphony and host of the radio program "St Paul Sunday Morning," spoke to about 200 peopleain Woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union. He was the first speaker of the spring
Humanities Lecture Series.
Television allows performers and artists to reach larger audiences, but it does not allow the audience to respond, he said.
McGlaughlin cited the 1858 presidential debate between Republican Abraham Lincoln and Democrat Stephen A. Douglas as an example. The debate lasted seven hours, not including the break for dinner. And the language and thought were rich, McGlaughlin said.
But television has changed the
Television encourages not only standardization of the performance repertoire, but also standardization of the style of performance.
"Everyone had his own idea and was not afraid to follow it" before television, he said.
Amateurs who would have been cherished in their communities before the age of television are no longer because they are not among the 12 greatest performers on the violin or piano, he said.
More single parents attending KU Financial responsibilities incline many to seek degrees

After 17 years in the construction business, Ken Brant has returned to college.
Brant, a 41-year-old father,
returned to college in 1966 and is about halfway finished with his degree in civil engineering.
In Fall 1985, the number of single parents enrolled on the Lawrence campus was 438. In 1986, the number
Brant, Chanute junior, is among the growing number of single parents who are students on the University of Kansas' Lawrence campus. A study released last week by the Office of Institutional Research and Planning showed that the number of single parents on campus had increased almost 11 percent during each of the past two years.
increased to 511; in 1987, 564; and in 1988, 605.
James W. Lichtenberg, director of the University Counseling Center, said that he noticed an increase in recognition and understanding of nontraditional students in recent years.
"There is a nontraditional students organization. As children get older, there are more students returning to school," he said.
A computer search in December by the Student Assistance Center showed that there were more than undergraduate nontraditional students.
KU's Non-Traditional Student Organization includes students older than 24, married students, students with children and veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Barbara Ballard, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said there could have been a number of reasons for the increase in single parents on campus.
"It comes down to money," she said. "As a single parent, you are the head of the household. As a single parent, you are the only person bringing in the money."
"Also, some women could have had children very early. Now they realize they want to go back to a job. They come to school to advance their job opportunities."
But to Brant, it's more than that.
"I've met some interesting people and made good friendships that might last a lifetime," he said. "Coming back to school is one of the smartest things I've ever done."
