page 8 Miolitfoll ' Jszz 0rchstr3 Lincoln's night scene is depressingly bleak this week. Entertaining establishments are dominated by mediocrity. Thank God for small favors -the Zoo. " Located at 136 N. 14th St., the Zoo is not to be mistaken for a collection of wild animals. The Zoo is a bar. There is nothing exceptional about the Zoo's decor. Simplicity governs in the postered walls and ceiling. The laminated tables have a rope design to qualify the zoo theme. Mixed drinks and beer ale acceptably priced. The usual "junk" food-Stewart sand wiches, beer nuts, et al-are available to control unexpected hunger pangs or cravings.- The difference between, the Zoo, any other, corner bar is the entertainment. Performers are accomplished musicians with a variety of styles reflecting the genuine sounds of bluegrass and country music. Regulars at the Zoo are Jon Emery and the Missouri Valley Boys. Their music is country-western, never failing to arouse the homegrown spirit of the crowd. Emery and bis band will entertain this Thursday through Saturday. The popular repertoire of the Megatons can be enjoyed frequently at the Zoo. Termed 'rock-a-billy," the music is a combination of country-western and rock. ... Every Wednesday evening, the Zoo features an acoustical jam session. Usually managed by Pete Blakeslee, the midweek entertainment includes reputable bluegrass and country western musicians. The talented participants informally gather, often producing original arrangements. , If you are geared toward the quality banjo pickin' and thumb strummin sounds, the Zoo provides music youH appreciate. Although it lacks physical attributes, there is a compensating, lively atmosphere. sauces & pldcbs Muff ins need no mixer l Wnln 137.2 musicians and composers t looking for experience in a big band now c,A it rftmiivh thn Wen-Classic Jazz AA1V vim. vjy Orchestra, according to Randall Snyder, UNL assistant professor ot tneory ana composition. - The group, with 1 5 members from UNL and the community, is a rehearsal band and Iperfomiancs is not the main objective, Snyder said. The band is "rather a torum tor expen- Wntatinn and a vehicle IOf aCQUlTing experience in a media which is often only available to student musicians,"' Snyder said. No leader According to Snyder, there is no perma nent leader. Farh time someone brines a tune to re- fhearsal they become the leader for that tune," he said. "It is trie responsiDWiy ior the arrangercomposer to make sure the music happens." Since tha ptoud's inccotion in June, it has performed twice publicly, Snyder said. "The eroun would like to olav biweekly in clubs around Lincoln, if the conditions are appropriate, he said. At well as nerformine oreoublished charts (compositions) the group performs lcnpH.il nrranpements taken directlv from recordings. Two members, Mike Helgeson and Bart Bartholomew, specialize in record copies, Snyder said. , Tunes copkd Tunes are copied from such bands as Wnndv Herman and a Thad Jones-Mel Lewis New York-based organization. ... The group's repertoire includes two original charts by Snyder ana bsjuhwhiww, mMtnAs onri Nn Stone Your Yoke. "Eventually we hope to piay only origij nal charts, giving the group a truly unique! sound, Snyder said. Thn nem "NetvClassic Jazz Orchestra AiV , was chosen because the music is expert J mental and breaks away from traditional hi band reoertoire, Snyder said. I Black expression "Jazz is a black expression," he said "it'e difficult for a white person to under cni th situation of blacks in this counJ try and to express himself with the samel authenticity of style mat a mac musiuaij can. The music is an expression of an indi vidual and his relationship to his environ ment in snsir.fi and time." Snyder said the group invites musicians to sit in on rehearsals and welcomes arrangers to bring in original material for readings. "It is hoped that the band can continue to operate as an outlet for serious music ians in the Lincoln area," Snyder said. By Sharon Johnson Remember hot muffins on cold morn ings before leaving for school? One of the best things about muffins is that you don't need a mixer to make them. Muffins can be made easily by anyone who has access to a refrigerator and a small broiler-baker oven. A good way to mix muffin batter is to distribute the margarine throughout the dry ingredients and then add liquid ingre dients. This method, unlike melting the margarine, will result in a product that can be stored and tastes good reheated. By using this basic muffin recipe you can make you own creations by adding apple and cinnamon, blueberries, cranberries, nuts or other fruit. - "" Muffins 2 c. lifted flour 3 tsp. baking powder 16 tsp. salt ' 2 T. sugar 3 T. margarine 1 egg well beaten . 1c. milk -Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar into mixing bowl. -Cut In shortening until mixture has cornmeal-iike texture. Make a well in the mixture. -Mix egg and milk and pour i.ito well. -Stir only until dry ingredlantt are all dampened. - -Bake for 20 to 25 minutes at 400 degrees in greased muffin pans, filling each muffin cup half full. The most important thing when making muffins is not to mix too long. If the bat ter is mixed too much, the muffins will have peaked tops, be tough and perhaps soggy. Bran muffins 2 c, boiling water 2 c. 40 per cent bran flakes 1 c. margarine 4 eggs beaten 1 qt. buttermilk 5 c. flour ' ' 2 c. sugar 3 tsp. sugar 3 tsp. soda , 4 call bran flakes . . -Combine water and 40 per cent bran flakes; let stand.

Bake in greased muffin cups at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. . Bran muffin mix can be stored up to sewn weeks. bef ostein on words Goldfish dialogue YY guy. Twice before we had items about the use of letters that sound like words. One was the ABCD-goldfish dialogue, which we though was about as elementary as you can get. But an equally elementary one that we overlooked has been sent in by Harry Schloss of Palm Springs, Fla. It goes like this (as if you didn't kaow): YYUR, YYUB. ICUR YY4me. ' Say what you mean. Sometimes the mis placement of a word or phrase will cause a statement to aay not quite what the author is trying to get across. Rose Nassau of Philadelphia recently had occasion to travel on the Long Island Railroad and repeatedly saw a poster seeking contributions to the 1 1.lt a A Mas. f OLa Curii I mnaA tti point that people can do many things, but not without an education. - But what caught and offended the traveler's eye was a slogan in large type at the top of the poster: "A mind is a terrible, thing to waste." Quite obviously, the coin er of the slogan did not mean in any sense that a mind is a terrible thing; if he had meant that, he would not have advocated educating it. What he did mean is the sen tence our correspondent suggests: "It is a terrible thng to waste a mind. - Of course, ad men often indulge in de , liberate distortions of good English to slam a point home to what they conceive of as the common people.
