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.

Reading
courses
attract 670
students
About 670 UNL ..udents took advantage of the Ex-; jnsion
Division's summer reading courses this year.
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.

The idea for the summer reading courses began in 1967,
EMirrisoi) said. Several students of English Prof. Robert Hough
asked to study during the summer to receive credit in English.
Howijh made arrangements for the studonts to do readings
dutinq ih summer, take a test over tin; books anil receive credit
for then work if they passed the uxam. Houqh's course, on the
American novel paved the way for future summer reading
Pll.nnson said the Extension Division askwl lo In: part of the
progriJtn In 1968, the summc roadinfj courw-s olfici.illy became
part fit Hie Extension Division's curriculum.
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.
I.lliiij'.on said the incrouv n nonresident tuition may havo
l-K.fin a factor in the decreas. .1 . rullrriont that year.
