Pianist's music complex, unusual r v By Diane Wanek Keith Jarrett - Fort Yawuh - Impulse! (AS-9240) Pianist Keith Jarrett's music must be experienced like a firwcognrc: you must try only a little at first in order to acquir. a taste for it But anyone who does acquire a taste fr it is rewarded richly. At first his music may seem to be lacking in form or direction, but a couple of listening sessions will change your mind. It is well composed and execut d. This is Jarrett's first album on Impulse, and he is backed up by sidemen he is familiar with: Charlie Haden on bass, Dewey Redman on tenor sax and Chinese musette, Paul Motian on drums and Danny Johnson on percussion. 'The recording was made live at the Village Vanguard. The first cut, "(If The) Misfits (Wear It)," is a fast-moving, nervous but sure-footed piece. Jarrett's mastJi of complex and unusual effects is evident here, v. larlie Haden is admirable on bass; and then Dewey Redman lets loose with a complex solo. It seems almost impossible that Haden could even play along with Redman, let alone lend anything to the solo, bet he docs both. It's a piece that each member of the group innovative ' cooks on. The title cut is a sophisticated composition on which Redman and Jarrett have a couple of very effective solos. Side two is my favorite. ; opens with an appealing song, "Dr Drums.' The melody is African-sounding, sim e and pleasant, underlined wifi a free and easy Latin American rhythm. "Still Life, S ill Life" winds up the a'bum. It's a slower piece, opening with a beautiful solo by Jarrett doing some interesting progressions. Yhe blue, rainy day feeling of this piece is heightened by his fluid style, Redman's blue sax ard Haden's easy but poignant bass. A 0 0 Pianist Keith Jarrett ? )l ' i -'til J COPY ItDITOR NEEDED.

According to Edor W. Ellingson, coordin or of class programs for the University Extension Division, the students vere divided among A 1 courses from architecture to scciulogy. The summer reading course pro? ram enables students to do classwork while at home during the summer. Ellingson said the classes usually meet once or .wicc before school ends in the spr.ng and the instructor explains the required readings for the c'ims. The students are then to complete the readings during the summer and, depending on the instructc take an exam over th( material, write a paper or papers, have a conference with the instructor or a combination of the three. Ellingson said i. iter registration for the summer reading courses, students he e about two months to drop a course and have the major portion of tuition refunded. "Wo don't charge Extension students any sti "lent fees i :e students takinq courses whhin the reaular univprs svstem " hn said, "but we keep eight dollars for administra e costs if a ! i.i . , . . . . . i sTuunt drops a course betore the deadline (for refunds). Of the stude .s registered for courses this summer, about 40 dropped classes t.efore the deadline and received partial refunds, Elling-.on said. Students who dropped courses after the deadline automatically received a "W" grade for withdrawal. Less than 10 students were in that category, Ellingson said, and they did not receive refunds. Mo dtops were processed i.iter Sept. 7. Eliingson said students who had not finished the course work by last Friday, had to rnnke ntnmgements with their instructors. According to Ellingson, regular passfail rules of the student's college apply to reading courses. He added that only two reading courses may be taken in one summer and that only 15 credit hours of reading courses or correspondence courses may be counted toward graduation in the College of Arts and Sciences.

According to Ellingson, the summer reading courses grew from 20 students in 1967 to a peak of 335 students in 1971 when 42 classes were offered. In 1072, 45 classes were available, but enrollment declined to aUjut '..00 students. He said that until 1972, tuition for summer rrjKlu-K) courses was $20 per credit hour for out-of-state students ;?s well ;r, Nebraska residents. In 1972, the Board of Regents required summer reading r.otJis.; tuition to be the same as regular UNL courses, Ellingson :..jid.
