he said. Characters include dwarfs,
elves and humans. The book’s vivid
imagery, characteristic of Frye’s work,
makes the characters come alive.
When Frye isn’t writing, much of
his time is spent working with youth.
For the past several years, he has
worked with at-risk kids. This work
inspired him to create Kastleland, an
anti-drug camp program. Through
Kastleland, much storytelling and
songwriting comes in.
“At the camp we put on quite a
show. I tell stories and we have cos
tumes of knights and dragons and
those sorts of things. The kids really
get into it.”
Frye is currently working with gift
ed kids on English and creative writ
ing through a mentoring program in
the Lincoln Public Schools.
Frye’s desire to work with young
people grew out of his own life expe
riences.
“When 1 was a kid I became pretty
involved in drugs and alcohol. Fortu
nately, 1 met some cool people that
showed me I didn’t need those things
in my life.”
After becoming a youth worker,
Frye said he began to realize that he
could offer a unique perspective to the
youth with whom he worked.
“Kids are going to be more 1 ikely to
listen to someone who can really re
late to them and to someone who has
been there. They’re not going to pay
much attention to someone who has
never touched drugs.”
Frye said his latest adventure was
the development of an anti-drug video
game called Kastleland. The game is
based on his camp program.
“The game deals with real prob
lems that kids face, but in a fun way.”
Although the Kastleland idea is a
creation of Frye’s, he said the work on
the video game was not his own.
“The kids I work with at school
gave me a lot of the ideas arid the
artwork.”
The game is being reviewed by five
different companies, all of which seem
interested, he said.
Frye said he was also working on
another novel, but not by himself.
“This novel is based on the video
game, and one of my students and I are
writing it. It’s fun.
“I write a couple of chapters and
then he writes a chapter or two.”
Although Frye is not sure exactly
what he will be doing in a few years,
he said he would definitely be writing.
“Eventually I would like to write
full time,” he said.
Frye said he also wanted to contin
ue reaching young people, especially
through his writing.
“If my books can reach even one
kid, then I’ve met my goal.”

which to thank him.
“Students usually came to ex
press their gratitude for the fact that
they discovered themselves,” he
said. “They did not know they were
capable of doing what we did.”
Aluas said he loved his work
with the students.
“I like to see the generation after
me coming to accomplish some
thing.”
Cristina Moore, a junior music
performance major and horn play
er, works with Aluas in indepen
dent study conducting classes.
“A lot of his force is just the
respect he demands when he walks
in the room,” she said. “He not only
demands it, he deserves it.”
Moore said Aluas gave students
self-esteem.
“You know when you ’ ve done a
good job when you see the expres
sion on his face,” she said.
Moore said students went
through a shock when Aluas began
his work with the orchestra.
“He expected the parts to be
done. That way, you’d have all the
technical stuff out of the way to
work on the music,” he said. “They
weren’t used to that. They had done
a lot ofsight-rcading in the past and

they weren’t prepared.’-’ . .
Praise came not only from the
students, but also from other pro
fessors. Aluas said many people
came up to him and thanked him
for his work.
“I developed the orchestra so
fast, so disciplined, so artistically,
so academically and professional
ly,” he said, “which was a major
accomplishment.”
Along with improving the Uni
versity Orchestra, Aluas started a
University Chamber Orchestra. His
efforts paid off at a sold-out concert
last fall that was followed by a
packed house at a December con
cert.
“We had a full audience, and
that is very important,” he said.
“It’s nice when you sec your work is
recognized. It’s nice to be able to
make a difference.”
Sophomore biology/pre-dentist
ry major and violinist Shannon
O’Connor said Aluas’ name might
have drawn the larger audiences.
“He’s drawing a lot more people
to join the orchestra,” she said.
“He’s also making it a stronger
presence in the School of Music.”
Aluas said after this year, the
university orchestra compared to a
professional orchestra. He will leave
at the end of the year, and he hopes
his students cairy the skills they
learned into their futures.
“I want them to think for them
selves, never to be satisfied with
status quo,” he said, “to be disci
plined and nothing they do to be
superficial.
“I hate ignorance,” he said. “1
work with 70 people and none of
them are.”
Aluas saidhe would like to know
he left behind 70 students who were
going to be useful to society.
“I’m going to miss them.”
And he will be missed, Moore
said.
“It’s going to be hard to see him
leave,” she said. “He’s done so much
for the orchestra.”
The University Orchestra will
perform at Kimball Hall Friday at 8
p.m. Admission is free.
