I Ana he sees nothing strange about a group of college profes sors playing Dixieland music. '"It's the real music," he said. "It's the happy music." Members of the combo include the following Northwest faculty members: Park at the piano; Dr. Robert Hull, biology, bass fiddle; Dr. Otto Fick, English, trumpet; Dr. Robert Frank, English, trom bone; Dr. Richard Waterman, anthropology, clarinet, and Dr. Howard Gloyd, biology, on the drums. Park and his friends kid each other a little about their music, but actually they take it pretty seriously . Folk Music "Dixieland is authentic folk music, said fark, an entomol ogist by trade. " "And we've found that play ing it is a wonderful way to re lax and forget your troubles." Mostly the members play for their own sheer enjoyment, but they're available for faculty par ties and campus functions. Park came by his love of jazz naturally. He went to high school in New Orleans, birth place of Dixieland. And he came to Chicago as an undergraduate at the University of Chicago just when Dixieland was spreading northward. "It was the same year that Louis Armstrong came up here to play with King Oliver," Park recalled. Park can't read music but he has composed several pieces, in cluding the group's theme, a "slow, blueish thing" called Evanston Cobalt. Strang Nam Another . of his compositions is called Tergite, an entomolog ical term for part of an insect's abdomen. "The name just seemed to fit," he said. Still another is called "N Squared." "But we never play any piece the same way twice," he said. "That's the joy of Dixie land. You can improvise." Hull, the base fiddle player, never has learned to use a bow. "Maybe I should learn," he said. ; "Don't do it' Park advised. "It may ruin you." One of the most accomplished of the combo is Waterman, who plays the clarinet, bass fiddle and several other instruments. His specialty in anthropology is musicology, the study of native rhythms. "That's what Dixieland is," said Park. "Native American rhythm, with a universal appeal." MORE ROOM Chicago (U.P.)

Teenagers Battle In Portland Streets Portland (U.R) Deputy sheriff's last night broke up a gang fight in southeast Portland in which an estimated 60 teen agers were involved. ' Deputies Don Wright and Casey Robinson said the young sters blocked off the area with their cars and were struggling in the streets. Many boys were reported hurt, but when officers arrived they fled. One 18 - year - old, who had face and mouth cuts, told the deputies, he would go to his own doctor for treatment. The youngsters blocked cus tomers from'service stations and drive-ins in the area. Deputies said it was the first such outbreak of a "rival gang war" in several years.
