Singers wow audience
with soulful performance

a historical fashion, beginning with
the original tribal songs of Africa and
progressing to the contemporary
works of Belafonte and George
Gershwin’s opera, “Poigy and Bess.”
Scott Warfield, a Wesleyan pro
fessor of music history, also com
mended the group on its diversity of
selections.
“I think what they did was the
great amalgam of the American
musical experience ... it’s all right
there, from the early beginnings to
Gershwin.”
Warfield said the selection from
Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess” espe
cially impressed him as an unusual
work to be sung by a gospel group.
Gershwin, a Russian-Jewish immi
grant, wrote the opera in Italian style,
and had it sung in English using
African-American dialect and
accents.
“Now that’s diversity,” Warfield
said. *
Following the performance, the
group received a standing ovation
and performed an encore rendition of
“Dry Bones,” to the applauding
crowd.
The group then spent the rest of
the day instructing and critiquing
area high school choirs before a two
hour concert starting at 7 p.m. at
Plymouth Congregational Church in
Lincoln.
“I think that if there is one thing
we should take away from this, it
should be the experience of black
music and musicians, and the diver
sity that they offer all of us,”
Sewright said.

Conference-turned-circus
yields nebulous answers
E-MAIL from page 1
across tiie nation.
“We will shortly be announcing a
call,” David Hibler said, “not just on
wide for rap-ins tb stop thewar,
whidh hasn’t started yet”
Jordan Hibler said if people con
tinue to read bis father’s e-mail, they
will further understand what he is dy
ing to accomplish.
“It all works to a certain point,” he
said. “Basically, if you keep reading
the e-mail, you’ll see the point.”
Outside of the so-called press
conference, some members of the
university community spoke about
David Hibler, his e-mail and the spec
tacle in the administration building.
UNL Police Chief Ken Cauble
said despite the size of the crowd out
side the chancellor’s office, Bushing
kept his cool and was able to keep
what could have beat a violent situa
tion under control.
Cauble said Bushing called for
backup when the crowd moved into
the hallway, blocking traffic,
although the extra officers never
entered the building.Zawabi said,
“We didn’t come here to have arm
cert or a circus. We came td get
answers. We wanted to knowwhathis
intent was and see how we, could
make sure this didn’t happen in die
future, and we didn’t get anywhere -
we didn’t get any answers”
Afrikan Peopled Union President
Donny White said David Hihler
made a “mockery” of die conference.
“Really,” White said, “I thought it
was a show, and I was kind of pre
pared for it because I’d heard that this
teacher, is rather eccentric.” >
Sophomore Eddie Brown agreed.
“It looks veryihildish and very
ignorant on his part, and it seemed
likeabig game they were playing”
was simply misunderstood. * >•
“(David) tried to tell a«tory, and
now they want to nail ham to a wall,”
he said. “And it’s sad because the man
is not racist It’s a teal big misunder
standing.”
James Griesen, vice chancellor
for student adhirs, said it was unfor
tunate David Hibier was drawing so
much attention.
David Hibier should not be interpret
ed by anyone astefledtive of the cote
values and sentiments oflhe universi
ty community” Griesen said.
^ hope that everyone who reads
or hears about his antics will dismiss
them as die abhorrent behavicjr pfK
single faculty member.”
Patrick Nickoletti, co-chairman
for die Chancellor’s Commission on
the Status ofPeople of Color, said die
incident was disappointing,
>/ ■ j§ b*
f ||
"hgthe wake oflhe King Day bet
ebration, you would hope for a hew tjjg r
day on this campus,” he said
“But what this incident shows is
that we have a lot of people on this
campus for whom it’s business as
usual. And we’ll see if this campus
takes this opportunity to step towards r
the future or whether we’ll just accept
it as business as usual.”

M Several campus groups also f ,
have issued statements speaking
against aspects of David Hibler’s ^
actions. They include: theAfnkan <
People’s Union, the UNL Faculty
Townhalt for Diversity Concerns, the
Chancellor’s Commission on the
Status ofPeople of Color and the
Wbmen SJStudies faculty. „
