Kase stars
in jazz festival
Saturday at
Kimball Hall
By Cindy Rohren
Staff Reporter
Jazz trumpeter Robert Kase will
headline the 1985 UNL Jazz Festival
at Kimball Hall this Saturday.
The festival, which features con
certs by 12 high school jazz bands
and a clinic by Kase, will culminate
in a 7 p.m. evening performance
with UNL's Jazz Ensemble I and the
Calvert Street Trio.
Kase, who teaches and performs
in Minneapolis, has performed with
the Minnesota Orchestra and such
groups as Seals and Croft, Sammy
Davis Jr. and Sonny and Cher. He
has published music, method books
and ensemble literature for the
trumpet and is a representative for
the Yamaha Corporation.
The 4-year-old festival is approved
by the National Association of Jazz
Educators. Other sponsors include
the UNL School of Music, Dietz
Music House, Yamaha, Phi Mu Sin
fonia, B.M.I, and southern Comfort.
Rusty White, cha'rman of the fes
tival and professor of double bass
and jazz at UNL, said the event is a
good opportunity for high school
and college performers.
"It gives our students a chance to
play with a professional they wouldn't
normally play with," he said.
For high school students, White
said, the performances are a "play
ing opportunity to gear up to."
"It gives them a chance to hear
other high school jazz bands and the
clinician," he said. "And there are
the more palatable awards of cit
ation for outstanding talent, and for
one student, a scholarship to a
week-long jazz camp."
White also encouraged UNL stu
dents to come to the evening per
formance. "It will be a good concert. It fea
tures the area's best big band and
the area's best trio and the clini
cian," White said.
Tickets for the concert are $3.50
and available at the door.
Spring Break's sun, fun and buns
aren't as tame as you might think
I took a sandal out of my closet yes
terday. When I turned it over, sand and
memories of last year's spring break
vacation fell out.
It began with a bunch of college
students in a K-Mart parking lot. We
huddled around coolers of beer to keep
warm as the driver loaded our bus. Beer
bongs in the aisles kept us occupied
until we hit a Nebraska City liquor
store, where we loaded up with supp
lies only 29 more hours of bus, booze
and B.O. to go.

A day, a night and a day passed and
we finally, I mean finally reached
Daytona Beach.
Under a tour's special package, I
shared a room with six other women.
We had two beds and two roll-aways, so
someone had to sleep on the floor.
Luckily, one of us was usually out all
night or out long enough not to care
about the sand, seasalt and scum stuck
in the shag.
That night we went to "Checkers," a
fairly fun Florida disco-type bar with a
$5 cover charge. Further down the
strip, bars charged $11 and $12 for no,
drink specials and no entertainment. '
We met partiers from every other uni
versity on spring break, but we didn't
meet any Floridians. On spring break,
you meet about 1,000 people who you
party with and forget. It's a fast-paced,
artificial, alcohol-filled world.
The first day we got up at 8 a.m. to

"Blue jean baby, LA. lady,
seamstress for the band... "
Elton John, "Tiny Dancer"
Hard-driving guitar throbs in the
background as the disc jockey's voice
pours out over Boog's answering
machine.
"Hey, listen. If you want to dress like
a spud you got the wrong number, but if
you want to look like you eat rock Y
roll for breakfast, you got the right
number. Boog's Rock-and-Roll Boutique.
"We got it all spandex, tops, lace,
belts, pants. We even have cuffs. Leave
your name and number at the tone, and
Boog's will set up an appointment for a
personal showing."
Because she doesn't have a store
front, Boog, also called Gayle Hohl,
works out of her home. I'm sitting on
the couch in the living room where she
gives her personal showings, and she is
laughing at my first question.
"How did I get the name Boog?" she
askes. "Give me a break."
Old Beatles are playing on the stereo
next door. Boog's roommate, "Punker
Patti," a hair designer at Phoenix Hair
Studio, is tuning in some more recent
rock V roll on their stereo.
"My husband and I used to call each
other Booger," Boog says, "but when
ever the phone rang and someone
asked for Booger, we never knew which
one they meant, so he started calling
me Boog."
Clothes fill the chrome rack on the
other side of the room. Cut-off shirts
with graffiti designs, checks, Japanese
prints, leopard spots and zebra stripes.
Spandex tops and pants of flourescent
pink, blue, green and black. Tops and
skirts of black and white lace and gold
and silver lame. Parachute pants. Sna
keskin pants. Zebra striped powercoats
and jackets with tails.
Lace, flourescent and see-through
socks, G-strings and T-straps are dis
played beneath the rack. Nearby, wood
shelves hold earrings, fingerless leather
gloves, with or without spikes, lace
gloves, belts, bracelets, handcuffs and
thumbcuffs.
Prices range from $3 for earrings to
$80 for a powercoat.
lay out. We met two guys on the beach
who had been out since six they
were both beet red. Even the best,
quickest tanners go through two or
three bottles of oil, a bottle of sunblock
and some Solarcaine during a week of
intense Florida rays.
We were also introduced to another
Florida phenomenon that first day: the
pool parties. Yousa, yousa. Yes those
wet t-shirt, wet buns, banana eating
and rubber raft contests do exist.
Another popular spring break activ
ity is the late-night yelling and throw
ing contests. At about 3 a.m. when the
bars close, everyone gathers on hotel
balconies (a must in every Daytona
strip hotel) and drinks beer. Then for
some unexplained reason someone will
throw a beer can into the parking lot.
Then suddenly the debris rains down
from all sides, denting rented cars and
transorming the lot into a junkyard.,
No one at our hotel jumped or
climbed down from the balconies, but a
security guard told me that it's a popu
lar activity that kills and injures sev
eral college students each year.
According to news reports, spring
break injuries are down, but arrests are
up because of the drinking age increase
from 19 to 21. Ft. Lauderdale police
also are having fun with a new law
against drinking in public. Daytona
already had that ban last year, and it
cost one of my friends $100 in drinking
money. My friend, and some other guys were
carrying beers down the strip after an
outdoor hotel kegger. A cop drove by
and arrested them for drinking in pub
tlh)s
Behind the couch the wall is plas
tered with photos of customers in their
rock-and-roll clothes band members,
girlfriends of band members, strippers
from Kansas City, male dancers, wait
ers and waitresses anyone who
needs or wants unusual attire.
Before Boog started selling "anti
spud" clothing, she was a dog groomer.
A Lincoln native, she moved to Oxnard,
Calif., just north of Los Angeles. There
she went to dog grooming school. When
she returned to Lincoln, Boog owned
and operated K-9, a dog grooming p'ar
lor at 27th and Randolph streets.
Friends from the band MX got her
started in the rock 'n' roll boutique
business. They stayed with her for
awhile and loved her clothes so much
that they asked to wear them on stage.
Soon she was trying on clothes in the
ladies' departments for them because
lic. They were loaded into a paddy
wagon and hauled down to headquar
ters. Everyone, except "X," signed a paper
saying they were guilty and promised to
pay a fine. "X," the only one with any
money, refused to sign. Uh-oh, the Day
tona Beach patrol didn't like that one
bit. They liked it even less when "X"
made faces during his mug shot and
sang "Roxanne" Eddy Murphy-style.
So everyone else got to leave and "X"
got hauled to a prison, 20 miles away.
In the morning, he had to pay $100 bail
and then buy a bus ticket to get back to
town. He never paid his fine and there's
still a warrant out for his arrest.
Spring break drinks can cost almost
as much as a fine.
About the only place we found where
you can drink cheaply is a bar called
"The Hole." This place, a cross between
the Sidetrack and the old Cliffs, has
been catering to spring-breakers for
years. The ultra-slick lights of the mir
rored strip discos are replaced with
bare colored light bulbs. There's no
MTV just a series of slides of the
1950s and '60's and corresponding re
cords spun by a disc jockey. The Hole
has no cover charge and serves a mean
$1 Mai Tai.
I won't reveal any other secrets
because it's mortfiun to find them out
yourself. But, as you climb on the bus,
remember that all the weird stories
you've every heard about spring break
are probably true. In fact, they've pos
sibly been tamed-down.

men's clothes are so drab and ordinary
and because the closest places to get
any unusual stagewear were Denver
and Minneapolis.
Mark Minchow, manager of Paragon
Music at 3111 0 St., said Boog fills
Lincoln's need for "hip clothes."
Paragon displays some of Boog's wares
in their windows cut-off shirts with
Kamikazee designs, tops and pants of
flourescent and black spandex.
"And," Minchow says, "you don't
have to be a rocker to look like one."
Back in Boog's living room, two tur
tles stand on their hind legs on the TV.
One strums a harp and sprouts an
orange Devo-style hat. The other one
bends guitar strings and wears a blonde
mop top that covers its eyes.
"What are those?" I ask, pointing at
the turtles.
"They're my Rock 'n Roll Turtles,"

Boog says, making the first syllable of
turtles really high pitched and squeaky
and putting more emphasis on the
second. Like in Valley Talk, you know.
"You guys really sound like you're
working out there," Punker Patti calls
through the beads hanging in the kit
chen doorway.
Boog and Patti have been taking
sewing lessons because Boog wants to
come out with an exclusive line of
clothes.
"The Stevie Nicks look is really in
right now," Boog says, "but those kinds
of clothes are hard to find, so we're
going to try making our own."
"In fact, I just made this," Boog says,
holding up two small squares of soft
gray fur joined at the top by thin
leather straps.
"A bunny fur loin cloth," Boog says,
smiling.
