Faculty member performs for President■ Musician Dr. LE. McCullough was part of The White House celebration for upcoming PBS documentary “Lewis and Clark."

On Nov. 10, Dr. L E McCullough, administrative director of the IUPUI Humanities Theatre Group, was part of a quintet who performed for President Clinton and about 200 guests at the White House.

The performance was part of the screening of Ken Bums’ latest PBS documentary "Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery." McCullough, who also plays flute, tinwhistle and percussion on the film's soundtrack, was invited to the White House w ith the rest of the soundtrack’s musicians as part of the ev ent

McCullough, who grew up in Indianapolis, traces his interests in soundtracks to earty childhood

"When I was eight, my parents started me on piano lessons yxi my favorite aspect about television were things that had music in them.” he said.

From his musical interests growing up, McCullough took up a career serv ing as as­sistant director of the IU School of Music at Indianapolis from 1990 to 1994 After leaving that position, he headed east to work with art colonies in the Catskill Moun­tains. During this time. McCullough’s play ’’Blues for Miss Buttercup” made its debut in New York, winning McCullough the 1995 Emerging Play- wTighis Award

It was also during this time that McCullough met musicians Jay Ungar and Molly Mason, who played a monthly square dance in Woodstock. N.Y., where McCullough was living

”1 just started sitting in with them” said McCullough. ’They had me record on their album ‘Lovers Waltz.' Then ’The West’ (a Ken Bums documentary) came up a few months later and we re­corded the soundtrack for that, and then the next year we did the soundtrack for ’Lewis and Clark.”*

It was the recording for "Lewis and Clark.” along with President Clinton’s interest in American history, that earned McCullough the trip to Washington D.C.

' Ken Bums is friends with Bill and Hillary Clinton, because they’re really into American history.” said McCullough "They’ve gotten to know Ken over the yean because that’s what his work is all about, it’s trying to get inside the hearts and minds and souls of the people.”

Bums' unique filmmaking style makes the process much more exciting for the musicians.

”He really cuts the film to the music, which is completely hack-

wards from how it’s usually done" said McCullough "Most people will give you the film and then cut the music to fit. but he picks out music he really tikes and then cuts the film to that ”

Also, the musicians are free to contnbute or suggest material for the sessions.As McCullough explained, the process of being invited to perform at the White

House is not as organized as might be expected"In early October, I was in Austin playing a Celtic music festival, and 1 checked my

answering machine.” he said “Out of the blue there was Ken Bums saying. ‘Hey, we're going to play at the White House.’”

Due to the uncertainty of the President’s schedule. McCullough and the rest of the musictans did not even know when they would he performing until three days before the ev ent

The whole process seems to have given McCullough a new appreciation for the Presidential lifestyle

"H ut day alone,” said McCullough, "the President was up until 2 am dealing with Congress. Then he got up in the morning and had Saddam Hussein to deal with. At noon he had a press conference and later, he spoke at a hMe-crimes convention at Georgetown University. And of course, the day before. Mrs Clinton's plane had to turn

back and make an emergency landing. So things are just happening all the time ”

Nevertheless, that evening, the reception began with the soundtrack musicians performing in the front hall

’’Very quickly it became just like any other performance,” he said. "People were listening, but it was really just a cocktail reception, even though they really weren’t expecting that kind of music. Usu­ally. they just have a string quartet or a lone piano player, and there we w ere with fiddles, a flute and guitar, and people were jumping ”

While the group was only scheduled to play during the reception, they received word President Clinton wanted a private performance.

So they took their instruments to a quieter setting and had the President’s undivided attention for about 10 minutes before return­ing to the reception

Back at the reception, the group was surprised again."We were just talking amongst ourselves and all of a sudden

President Clinton came up and started talking to us about musk,” said McCullough. "He talked to us for about 15 minutes about bossa nova, his favorite jazz players, and the latest CD technology. It was just like talking with another musician at the gig about the local mu­sic scene It was great ”

With lead singer Antomco Reyes and guiunst Mann Reyes, Los Reyes hopes to bring a younger and edgier sound to traditional gy psy and flamenco music

Redefining music■ Playing various musical styles, Incubus shows off their talent with new album and tour.

t is with i , we let our music

Funk, thrash metal and hip-hop are the elements that create the sound of Incubus.

The five members, vocalist Brandon Boyd, guitarist Mike Einziger, bassist Ales Katunich. drummer Jose Pasillas and DJ Lyfc developed their unique style while growing up in the Los Angeles' suburb Calabasas.

They formed a band because they all had a love for mu­sic ranging from funk, hip-hop, jazz and thrash.

“We’ve never really tried to do just one type of music." said Boyd “We just did what came out of us. All five of us write about what comes to mind and it gets easier and we get better as we do iL”

Incubus' sound is hard to pin-point with the elements of thrashy guitar licks, multiple percussion, electronic instru-

said Einziger. ‘The s speak for itself."

Their debut album. “S C I E N C E " is a collection of 12 innovative tracks of experimental music. The band de­livers a diverse array of tunes from the heavy metal driven “My Favorite Things,” the up-tempo “Nebula," the off- the-wall "Magic Medicine" and the smoothed out pimp- grooving “Antigravity Love Song."

Lyrically, Boyd's messages deal with relationships and

“We never been a band to label ourselves,” said Boyd. "For as long as we have been a band wc have had a hard time defining a name for our style of music so we gave up. We realized it was better for us not to label our music.

“I believe it is a limit, and we do not like to limit our­selves in or music or in ourselves."

Einziger agreed explaining that labels are there for people to explain what a hand is about relating it to the animal kingdom.

“You can tell one animal from another by looking at it,"

about one's perspective of life and how enlightenment can positively influence a person, while “New Skin" deals with the issue of overcoming a negative situation and becoming a stronger person through experi­ence.

The music that puts you in the best moods is a little darker," said Boyd. “It kind of puts you in a place where you want to listen to it and analyze it"

Incubus has already completed a European tour with la­bel-mates Kom. Their biggest show was in Paris with 5,000 people in attendance.

'T he energy was intense," said Boyd. “People's heads were thrashing about responding to the energy we put o ut When we would come back to play, people knew the words to our songs and they were even more energetic."

Currently, Incubus is on tour with 311 and Sfegar Ray. The group plans to lour for two more years and build a fan-base from the underground scene on up.

A home away from home

■ The benefits and detriments of the Student Activities Center are comparable to one’s own residence.

Stais Ed it o iia i it MahonCoNIVITING E OI TO I

IUPUI built the university library to expand upon the university’s book volumes previously stored in the Old Li­brary. The Old Library, in turn, became the Student Activi­ties Center, the university’s most multifaceted facility on

But what does the “activities’* in Student Activities Cen­ter mean and is it really for “students?*

For some time now, the Student Activities Center, or stu­dent center, has been a location on campus where students can just “chill out” — you know, blow off a little steam built up by the pressures of

In contrast, many students view the student center as a place to study. After all, it’s where the mentoring center and University College are located. A student doesn't have to walk far and abroad or even outdoors to access these re­sources. Pretty convenient for the “academ-nuts,” huh?

The student center also houses the offices for student or­ganizations and the Undergraduate Student Assembly.

The student center consists of three floors. The third floor is where the UC counselors are located and the second floor is for mentoring.

The first floor is where the main “student activities’’ take place: card games, pool tables, table tennis, television, eat­eries, vending and tables for studying or socializing.

The basement is where the USA and student organiza­tions, as well as the office of multicultural affairs. Upward Bounds and IUPUI Student Connections are located.

That is wide range of “activities" shoved into one micro­cosm called ‘The Student Activities Center "

But all is not well in the student center. There have been complaints of disturbances of some students by other stu­dents, faculty and staff. The television is too loud for some students to study or some students are just plain noisy.

Some complain about the one television with regular cable in the commons area that they can't watch what they want because “they won't let me change the channel."

In a way, the uses and complaints of the student center are comparable to a person's home. How often do you hear a sibling or a parent complaining of the noise from the stereo when trying to study, or someone bickering about wanting to watch something on television when someone is already watching something else?

Normally, at home, a person’s wishes are respected with f some sort of positive change. A student may get mad at

their parents or roommate when asked to quiet down, but they comply, though it may be followed by a few choice

This where the grasp on the student center begins — in the home. Respecting other’s wishes, within reason, while trying to work together to maintain what is rightfully ours — the Student Activities Center

The value of failureI Setting high goals may achieve success, but the lessons to be learned from failing may prove just as successful.

He failed as a business man. and he did not achieve success in his career as a fanner. Although he was elected to his state legislature, he failed when he sought

the office of speaker. He lost the election in his first attempt to go to Congress and suffered defeat when he ran for the United States Senate.

But he persisted. He learned from his failures, and, at age 51, he was elected President of the United States.

Such was the life of Abraham Lincoln who was not deterred by failures and used them, instead, as starting points for his sue-

■ H l l BBAIBBltlDIKT .I ndianan i v i bi i t i

Certainly failure for its own sake has little to recommend i t It is usually painful and sometimes humiliating. It is something we do our utmost to avoid

But failure has instrumental value. I often think that people who succeed at everything they undertake are probably not realizing their full potential.

Whether you are a student faculty member, business person, carpenter, or university president, if you smoothly achieve every­thing you set out to do well miss some of the best aspects of a university education. Many students have no experience with art or music, and hence eschew courses in these areas; others fear sci­ence or computers, and avoid trying these subjects at all. This is risk-aversive behavior, and it is likely to lead to limited intellec­tual growth.

I would go so far as to say that a college education is all about taking risks. It is all about the process of discovery. It is all about growth and exploration. This is the time to risk intellectual explo­ration — now when there are safety nets all around you and teachers dedicated to helping you succeed.

Dry it! Stretch!One can very often accomplish much more than imagined.In addition to letting us know whether we are setting our sights

high enough, facing failure teaches us value of persistence and

sagamoreCOUNTERPOINTS

perseverance. As one pundit once said, “Persistence is the hard work you do after you get tired of doing the you've already done,"

In the long run lifetime — that is success al­ways involves persistence. There are always obstacles to over­come. Without the persistence we gain from overcoming failure, we might succumb to the urge to settle for something short of our most cherished ambitions.

Of course, too much failure, too many obstacles, can devastate even the most persistent person. Some luck is always necessary, and luck, by its nature, is not under our control. But with a modi­cum of good fortune, persistence yields success at the highest lev­els.

Like individuals, institutions can chart a course that is so safe that they fail to realize their potential. A university, even one as good as IU, can find itself in complacent mode, and shy away from initiatives that are new and bold If IU does not occasionally have some failures, some efforts that are not entirely successful, then we are not trying hard enough to advance ourselves. The past is always a good guide but it must not obscure our vision for the future.

We must always be on the alert for new approaches to learning and new ways to recruit and retain students. We must aggressively pursue new research areas and methodologies. Of course, not all such endeavors will be successful which is why some efforts are often undertaken as pilot projects. But if we avoid innovation just because we arc afraid we will fail, wc surely do just that.

If we don't set the highest goals for ourselves and for our insti­tutions, we will, at best, achieve mediocre successes. And that's not good enough— not for IU and not for each student, staff and faculty member.

1 am curious to know who parks their red Chevy Lumina on the sidewalk between Cavanaugh Hall and the lecture

Are they working on the building or helping someone who works in the building?

Arc they taking classes?Arc they just visiting?I cannot count the number of

times I have seen it parked there this semester and won­dered why. If you find out, it would certainly answer these perplexing questions.

Much thanks for your invts-

Well, the same question you have presented to us is one that many have asked, but few re­main to know. The red Chevy Lumina parked between Cavanaugh Hall and Lecture Hall is driven by two gentle­men named Joe Dowdell and Dexter Chislom, who arc Bur-

According to Chislom. the reason they are parked in front of the stairs on the southsidc of

Cavanaugh is because it is their designated parking area by the Bursar’s Office in Cavanaugh.

In addition as Bursar couri­ers, Dowdell and Chislom take care of special security assign­ments around campus, such as providing security for dances and parties in the Student Ac­tivities Center.

According to their boss Deputy Chief Larry Propst of the IUPUI Police Department, their main job is to make deliv­eries and pick-ups to and from the Bursar's Office, which has been a long-time employed po­sition within the IUPU1-PD.

Metros UoinHNit W-Soufli Bend to opener■ Knox hits 23 points in first half on his way to game high 30 as men’s basketball team wins by 49.

Bi B i i a x I k ciSh u t * C o i i i i f o m d i

After the full 1:30 of the game last Monday night, it looted as if the Fightin* Titans of IU-South Bend might actually put up a fight The Titans held a 6-0 lead while the Metros looked shell shocked from a slow start

How quickly things change.Freshman forward Don Carlisle provided the wake-up call for the

Metros by muscling his way to a rim-rattling slam dunk at the 16:30 mark. Carlisle's slam led to a 27-t run which bulpd to gJ9-27 lead at the half. The end result was a 104-55 massacre that left the Rghtin* Titans

into 32 turnovers, leading to 40 Metro points in a game that was virtually over with 15:00 left in the first half.

The 1997*98 season opening blowout marked the comeback of senior guard Carlos Know who returned in stellar fashion with 30 points and six as­sists. Included in Knox's game high was a near perfect l2-oM 3 d ip at the tine. Knox bombarded the visitors with 23 first half points in just 14 min* utes. If there is any doubt about (he ability of the Metros All-American fol­lowing last year's season ending knee injury, he did his best to put such doubt to rest

I ’m back and ready to go." said Knox. I ’m definitely on top of my game."

The aura of confidence surrounding Knox and the rest of the team is un-

Senior forward Marcus Overstreet Knox with his bruising play underneath the Metro in double figures finished with 14 points

"Most of the team understands that we’re trying to win.” said Knox. "We don’t come out in any game thinking we’re

the outside game of the only other

and a team-high eight re-

Three other Metros netted nine points, including the two starting freshmen Carlisle and Charles Price. Sophomore guard Nick David played well off the bench with three three-point goals, all in the first half.

Jermaine Gardner, new to the team this year, was equally impressive with eight points while dishing out six assists, tying Knox for the lead.

Head Coach Ron Hunter was pleased with the all around team effort but noticed a couple lapses in concentration in the second half. As the game winded down. Hunter be­came frustrated after four consecutive turnovers and called a time-out with 4:30 left.

"1 told them that if we didn’t get it together we’d be back on the court at 12 (midnight) until 5 (u n .) in the morning." said Hunter. "We got a little sloppy out there. When you’re up by 30 points it's hard to keep up your intensity"

Hunter, probably the most intense person on the basketball court during every game, expects nothing less from his players.

Hunter knows that with tough tests in the form of such Division I opponents as But­ler and Miami (Ohio) looming in the near future, the Metros can ill afford to have such lapses in intensity.
