Jazz is providing some
students with a chance to hear
their favorite recording artists
and receive three hours of
credit besides.
"History of American Jazz,"
taught by Robert Beadell, NU
professor of music, is one of the
courses added to the black
studies movement this
semester.
Thirty-eight students were
pre-registered for the class
but Beadell said the first two
weeks of the class have been
like Grand Central Station as
the number grew to 62 through
drop and add.
The class contains a cross
campus selection of students
with music majors definitely
being in the minority, he
said.
"The ethnic problems and
growth of American music are
most clearly illustrated through
jazz," he said.
Beadell said jazz is one of the
mainstreams of 20th century
music. "It is enjoyed, talked
about and written about all
over the world," he said.
The course is a survey of jazz
from the pre-history era of jazz
to the present.
The pre-jazz era which is
characterized by west African
influences will also be touched
upon but could become a
separate course in itself, he
added.
From the pre-jazz era, the
course moves through the New
Orleans jazz era, the swing
era, the bop era and the
rhythm and rock era.
"It is a lecture course with a
great deal of emphasis on
record-listening," Beadell ex
plained. In March, a guest speaker,
David Baker, head of the Black
Music Institute at Indiana
University, will discuss the
contributions of black com
posers and contemporary and
liturgical jazz.
The professor also hopes to
have several hard rock groups
perform later In the
semester.
Beadell, who has worked with
jazz from both a scholarly and
practical standpoint, has read
many bibliographies and recent
musicolcgical studies in
preparation for the course.
Al hough it is too early to
judge the success of the course,
Beadell said, "I'm enjoying it
tremendously and I think the
class is too."

receive keys
Eleven University of
Nebraska journalism students
have been honored for high
scholarship and awarded NU
School of Journalism gold keys.
The gold key awards are
given annually to sophomore
journalism students who
maintained the highest grade
averages during their freshman
year.
"We usually give six keys,"
said It. Neale Copple, director
of the School of Journalism,
"but because of the large
number of students in this
year's sophomore class with
very high grade averages, we
awarded eleven."
C. Peter Magrath, dean of
faculties, spoke at the presen
tation. Earl Dyer, executive
editor of the Lincoln Star,
awarded the keys.
