Supremes appear Mar. 10
The glitter girls of Mo
town music, Diana Ross and
The Supremes, will add an
other audience to their list
when they appear in Lincoln
on March 10 at 8:00 p.m. in
Pershing Auditorium.
The performance is spon
sored by the Nebraska Union
Program Committee, accord
ing to Art Thompson, assis
tant director.
DIANA ROSS Mary Wil
son, and Cindy Birdsong have
long had the top spot on best
selling charts.
Their seven gold records
include "Where Did Our
Love Go," "Baby Love,"
"Come See About Me," "I
Hear a Symphony," and
"You Can't Hurry Love."
In addition to single rec
ord sales, The Supremes' 12
albums are also usually
found at the top of the charts,
Thompson said.
Husker track team
starts indoor season
With optimism Coach
Frank Sevigne's track squad
opens its indoor season
Saturday at 1:30 p.m. at the
East Stadium in a triangular
meet against South Dakota
State and Southern Illinois
University.
"We could have one of our
strongest teams ever," the
veteran NU mentor said.
"But we won't really know
how strong we are until
Kansas State comes here
next Saturday."
Calling the Wildcats the
toughest squad on the
Husker indoor schedule, he
said KSU established world
records in the sprint medley
and two-mile relay at last
week's indoor track meet at
Houston's Astrodome.
He added that Kansas,
Kansas State and Missouri
appear to be the best
balanced clubs in the Big
Eight which has "tremen
dous" competition this
season.
NU is paced by senior let
terman Clifton Forbes, who
captained Jamaica's Olym
pic squad last fall in Mexico
City. He is a 440-yard runner
and a sprinter.
Last year's Big Eight in
door half-mile winner Dan
Moran and football star Joe
Orduna add to a team that
Sevigne feels "has good
balance and depth right
down the middle." Fred
Nicholl, a senior from Long
Beach, Calif., who placed
fifth in last year's league
indoor meet and distance
runners Greg Carlberg, Pete
Brang, Mel Campbell, Jim
Lang and Bob Tupper add to
the squad.
Although Sevigne said
South Dakota State appears
to be lacking depth and in
dividual stars, he said the
Illinois group will field
several top individual stars
but the Salukis may not be
balanced enough to defeat
Nebraska which finished
fourth in the league indoor
and outdoor contests last
season.

The word is synthesis.
It began about two years
ago, and the conclusion
hasn't been reached. It
started as a desire to make
the original venture more
interesting, and may con
clude with the destruction of
categories and the creation
of a new art form known as
MUSIC.
Butterfield and the Blues
Project had the right idea
try to combine forms of ex
pression presently existing
into a new one that will ap
peal to everyone who liked
each of the old. "Rock" and
"Blues" and even the
amorphous, maligned "jazz"
began moving toward one
another cautiously.
Now everybody wants to
get into the act; there seems
to be a mad rush to fill the
gaps with new categories.
"Rhythm and blues" sud
denly became "soul;" coun
try and western met Robert
Zimmerman. "Folk music"
discovered Banjamin
Franklin's kite. It's turning
into a love-in.
ROCK EVEN has schools
now. There's Hendrix and
Cream and thundering, body
bending amplified SOUND.
There's the Ohio Express
and Bosstown. Buffalo Spring
field (define that one, I
dare you). Al Kooper
what's that? A freaky one
man band that plays better
than any other one-man
group around.
The word. Say the word
' and you'll be free. The word
is synthesis. Synthesis ot
musical forms. Maybe if we
forget about some of these
words we might even end up
liking some of this stuff.
Suppose, just for a minute,
that music doesn't really
depend on categories at all.
Suppose the reason Archie
Shepp chooses to play dif
ferently from Charlie Parker
is due soley to the fact that
he wants to play differently.
Not that he is trying to
"synthesize Bop and Avant-
garde jazz," but that he is
merely attempting some kind
of communication different
from Parker's.
Communication, perhaps.
A relationship between
human beings. The most
perfect form of relationship
one that transcends the
mind and lets you feel rather
than think.
IF THERE has been any
direction in the synthesis of
modern music, that direction
has been that of in
tensificaton of the rela
tionship between performer
and audience. Why does the
Grateful Dead's new album
have a short section that
says, "Come on, everybody,
get up and dance?" Why
does the Jefferson Airplane
prefer a hall where there are
no seats? Why does Archie
Shepp encourage people to
move their bodies to his im
provisations? In a real sense, dancing
helps to create the music of
these performers. They are
interested in response,
reaction, spontaneous feel
ing. They want emotion
rather than intellect.
It isn't surprising, in light
of this most recent develop
ment, to see that jazz does
not reach so many people.
Young whites are drawn less
to quiet meditation now than
their parents were. Even this
generation contrasts sharply

with the beats of a few years
ago. The beat trademark
was a coffeehouse with
TABLES and CHAIRS. The
hip landmark is a hall, large
enough to hold all the people
it can possibly hold, a hall
where people dance.
Jazz, it was once said,
became unpopular as soon as
people stopped dancing to it.
Not precisely true, but
nonetheless, something
(called the intellect) entered
into jazz and made it a
music to be listened to and
understood. Suddenly
everyone was acclaiming
Dave Brubeck because "he
makes you use your mind."
Hendrix makes people lose
their minds. .
it
SO WHITE kids went to
rock as soon as Presley
moved his body. And jazz
followed. The New Jazz or
New Music defied the con
cepts upon which intellectual
jazz was based. It refused to
be limited, to let an artificial
structure come between the
emotions of the performer
and the ears of the listener.
And Emotion became as
important as form.
Rock, in its own way,
began as an experiment in
violence. Violence that was
implicitly and explicitly sex
ual. It quickly absorbed sor
row and fear from blues, and
gained incredible potency in
the hands of engineers,
sound men and amplifiers
capable of creating earth
tremors. Space in which to
breathe was added through
jazz improvisations made
it possible to get into things
because the things got
deeper.
Most recently, the range of
emotions exploited by coun
try music was opened when
Dylan began recording in
Nashville. Pathos and pro
test entered by way of folic
music. Rock has expanded to
accommodate the desire of
its performers for ex
pression. It's happening everywhere.
There are no real jazz
musicians or rock musicians
or folk musicians, or even
black musicians and white
musicians. In the end there
are only human beings
trying to make a contact th?t
will pass by the mind and
touch the heart.
That's what synthesis is all
about, brother. That's why
John Coltrane died. Ni t
enough people would put
down their thoughts and
open their arms.
