one of the world's most erudite I
jazz bands. 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."

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.
