UNL student showcases bagpipes
Scott Glimm will be
the Komensky Club’s
guest tonight, giving a
concert and lecture on
a historic instrument.
By Bret Schulte
StaffReporter
The Nebraskan flatlands will soon
be ringing with the sound of the Scot
tish highlands — and the Czech Re
public.
The Komensky Club, an organiza
tion devoted to the study of Czech lan
guage and culture, has invited Scott
Glimm to give a concert and a lecture
regarding die extensive European his
tory of the bagpipe.
Glimm, a UNL German graduate
student, was bom and raised in Scot
land. When he was 11, his mother
signed him up for lessons with the sym
bol of Scottish nationalism, the bag
pipe.
“It’s a handy thing in the family to
have, for weddings and funerals,”
Glimm said. “Then there’s no need to
pay anyone, because we’re family.”
Now Glimm has the opportunity to
showcase his talents in Lincoln. The
lecture will concentrate on the histori
cal aspects of the bagpipe, leading from
its origins to its widespread modern
day use.
“Czechoslovakia has a number (of
varieties) of the bagpipe. It’s quite in
digenous to the area, as it is to most of
Europe,” he said.
Glimm said that the bagpipe may
have been one of the earliest instru
ments. Originally consisting of a hoi
lowed out animal bone and an inflated
bladder, the bagpipe has been around
since the earliest of musical instru
ments.
“Almost every country speaking an
Indo-European language has some his
tory with the bagpipe,” Glimm said.
The bagpipe has experienced a re
surgence in the past 15 to 20 years, he
said, after a long period of decline
where many of the more ethnic deriva
tives of the bagpipe were lost. Glimm
specializes in the classic, most famous
of the bagpipes: the great highland
pipes.
“It is a fairly romantic instrument,
and quite gripping in some respects—
and I usually get some free drink out
of it,” Glimm said.
Glimm will be the host at the con
cert and lecture tonight in Colonial
Roan B at the Nebraska Union. The
show is free and begins at 7. ‘ ‘ '

Jackson wins damages m slander suit;
journalist given court date for sentence
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A
freelance journalist must pay dam
ages to Michael Jackson for failing
to back up claims that a videotape
showed the pop star and a boy hav
ing sex, a judge ruled Tuesday.
Superior Court Judge Reginald
Dunn said a jury will determine how
much Jackson should receive from
Victor Gutierrez, who refused to
identify the source who showed him
the video.
Jackson sued Gutierrez for slan
der, contending the writer lied in a
January 1995 appearance on the TV
magazine show “Hard Copy” when
he claimed he viewed a 27-minute
videotape that purportedly showed
the singer in a sexual encounter with
13-year-old boy.
The $100 million lawsuit also
named “Hard Copy,” the show’s
parent company, Paramount Pic
tures Corp. and “Hard Copy” re
porter Diane Dimond. They remain
defendants facing trial in the suit.
Jackson’s lawyers said Gutierrez
refused to reveal who showed him
«
The judge just said, ‘enough;’ we’ll
go to trial as to how much money
(Gutierrez) owes us.”
ZiaModabber
Michael Jackson’s lawyer
the video during depositions earlier
this year. He instead named scores
of people who he claimed could
verify that the tape existed, includ
ing actress Elizabeth Taylor and Los
Angeles County District Attorney
Gil Garcetti.
On June 5, Dunn ruled Gutierrez
was no longer protected by the Cali
fornia Shield Law and ordered the
journalist to reveal his source.
Dunn’s ruling Tuesday came at
the request of Jackson’s lawyers,
who asserted that Gutierrez should
be held liable for damages for re
fusing the judge’s order.
fThe judge just said, ‘enough,’”
Jackson lawyer Zia Modabber said.
“We’ll go to trial as to how much
money (Gutierrez) owes us.”
Trial was set for June 23,1997.
Gutierrez’s attorney, Robert E.
Goldman, said the writer will “stand
and fall on the truth” of his story.
In September 1994, prosecutors
declined to file child molestation
charges against Jackson because his
teen-age accuser refused to coop
erate following an out-of-court
settlement worth a reported $15
million.
SOME THINGS ARE MEANT TO BE CLOSED
YOUR MIND ISN’T ONE OF THEM.
For decades, MDA has shown how valuable people with
disabilities are to society. We believe talent, ability and
desire are more important than strength of a person’s
muscles. The one barrier these people can’t overcome
is a closed mind. Keep yours open.
