Gaines: Inventive
Continued from page 4
But Gaines doesn't see his work,
or the work of artists in general, as silly. He doesn't believe that artists are
creative geniuses wbo have uncanny
insights into the universe separating
them from the common person. Instead, be believes that the artists are
inventors, working solutions to problems that previous artists have
presented.
"I think that tbe only difference
^ between an artist and anybody else is
that the artist takes the time to make
the art work. Anvbodv could be an artist if they made the work and, also,
participated in the ideas of art."
He said that people and society in
general have "little regard or no
regard for art"
"The government gives three-
four times more to military bands
, than what tbey provide tbe NEA (National Endowment for tbe Arts — a
government funded operation that
provides grants to artists). That
shows you that military bands are
more important than art as far as the
government is concerned. And probably as far as everybody else. Society thinks the things that artists do are
silly.

Tbe CSUF Wind Ensemble and
Jazz Band A have been invited to be
tbe featured bands at the 1983 All-
Japan Band Directors clinic in May,
hut tbey must raise an- estimated
185,000 to $90,000 to make this trip a
reality.
Many fund raisers are underway
from enchilada sales to a Silent Auction that was held at President Harold
Haak's home last Sunday.
"There is a lot of pressure
because of tbe trip," said keyboard
player, Craig Von Berg. "Everybody
is worried about making money." Von
Berg said the band has scheduled
many appearances and recordings to
make money for the trip.
Larry Sutherland, the director,
said the invitation is an honor because
"there is a host band only every other
year. The clinic ia prestigious and the
educational value to the stiidents will
be great."
Saxiphonist, Jay Richardson said,
"I'm really looking forward to the
trip. We will be seeing people our age
and staying with thdr families, that is
what I am looking forward to the
most."
Brian Hamada, tbe jazz band's
drummer said, "tbe trip was a
welcomed surprise for me." He said
be will learn a few Japanese words. "I
know a Utile bit, veryDttto,:' Hamada
said. "Younger people speak English.
The big thing is tbe reading."
The bands' tour will last for two
weeks. "Tbe actual clinics and
seminars will be five days,"
Sutherland said. Tbe convention win
be held at tbe Yamaha corporation's
"The jazz band will be appearing
on two television shows," Sutherland
continued. "One will be in Tokyo and
tbe other toSonth Korea."
Tbe performers will also visit
sites such as ML Fuji, the Oshima
Islands and tbe Nikko National Park.
Tbe jazz band has earned a high
reputation for its quality performances on all styles of jazz.
"Most college jazz groups are only as good as tbe charts allow them to
be," Leanard Feather of the Lot
Angeles Times wrote in 1982. "Dr.
Sutherland has molded his 20 students
into a tightly knit unit capable of Interpreting complicated, technically
demanding arrangements. Their expertise places them on a level with
some of the most reputable professional bands."
The jazz band has enjoyed many
other credits as listed in tbe Fresno
Bee:
• "In 1981 tbe band received tbe
only standing ovation to the history of
an annual jazz festival at tbe Seattle
Opera House.
e In 1980 Down Boat magazine
selected tbe band as tbe outs ta nding
four-year university jazz band to the
country."
The CSUF Wind Ensemble also
has an excellent performance history.
Down Beat gave tbe Ensemble its
Outstanding Performance Award in
1980 and the College Band Directors
National Association .featured the
Wind Ensemble at its conference in
1982.
Sutherland referred to bis band
members as "outstanding" and said
that tbey are tbe "cream of tbe crop.'.'
Students offered original view of Europe

Italy is not just good food, good
wine and friendly people. For three.
CSUF professors It is a country d
endless exploration.
Doctors Joseph Satin, Jose
Canales and Roger Tatarian will
guide up to 30 students through tbe
streets of Rome, Venice and Florence
as part of the Italian Renaissance program scheduled this summer.
For 30 days, tbe students will
study Italian art, politics, religion,
history, cuisine, customs and crafts.
"There are two Europes," said
Satin, program coordinator, "tourism
and what's really happening over
there. We combine the glamour with
what's really there — a clear-eyed,
romantic view of Italy."
One to four units of college credit
can be earned during tbe trip depending on Individual research to one of
three areas: arts and humanities,
Christian traditions and Italy: Here
and Now.
Satin will conduct lectures on the
arts and humanities during tbe mom-
ings followed by on-site study tours at
places such as tbe Roman Forum, the
Colosseum and the Borghese Gallery.
Canales' main emphasis will be
Christian traditions, including a tour
through the ooce-forbldden Vatican
Gardens.
Tbe Pope has declared 1983 as a
Holy Year because "it marks tbe
1,960th anniversary of the death of
Christ," said Canales. Pilgrims wearing their native costumes will come
from all over to celebrate the opening
of tbe "jubile doors," located in the
four great basilica in Rome. The opening of the doors, presently blocked by
walls, is a big part of the celebration
of Holy Year, said Canales.
"Post-war Italian politics, from a
Journalistic standpoint," will be explored by Tatarian, wbo spent two
years to Italy as tbe UPI bureau chieT
in Rome in tbe early 1950s.
Tatarian, wbo is "exceedingly
fond of the country," believes Italy is
"terribly politically Important to the
east-west confrontation."
With the largest Communist Party in tbe West, Italy has become an
"interesting testing ground of Euro-
Communism," said Tatarian.
No communist government has
ever subjected itself to tbe teat of a
free election, Tatarian said, and tbe
Italian Communist Party is trying to
convince tbe public that it is Italian
first and communist second — that it
would remain faithful to the
democratic  process  if Voted  Into
The Italian press will be i
ed, followed by a trip to Italy's largest
newspaper, II Messagero. a robust,
The cost of the trip Is 83,000 (excluding air fare and some rneeJs).
Those wishing to participate must be
college or university graduates or
people over 30 with at least two years
of college work. This program is
specifically designed for adults Interested in learning without being
"students stuck to books," said Satin.
Tbe 1983 program is an expansion
of the 1982 Renaissance program led
by Satin and Canales last summer.
"Last year worked beautifully. It
was fabulous," boasted Satin. "I can't
wait to get back. Having Roger
(Tatarian) with us will add a new
dimension to the trip." ■
"We know the shops and
restaurants," said Satin, adding that
Italy has "great public concerts."
One of Satin's and Canales' most
memorable moments of the 1982 trip
was a day spent at a small mountain
town, Monte Flascone, just several
hours from Rome. The group had tbe
luck to arrive during the National
Wine Fair.
"Monte Flascone was one of the
highlights of our trip," said Canales.
"Tbe wine was only 10 cents a glass."
With vintners practically giving
away great wines and champagne,
and a dinner lasting about six hours,
the people of Monte Flascone just
''couldn't do enough for us," said
Satin. "It was unbelievable — it waa
so wild," he recalls. "Once they learned I waa from the great valley that
made  Gallo wine,  everyone was
In addition to Rome, Florence and
Venice, smaller cities will be explored. Lucca, a very small, walled
town, seems to have won a soft spot in
the hearts of both Satin and Canales.
"Some of tbe best food in Italy is
found In Lucca," said Canales. Most
of the bouses and parts of its Roman
amphitheater have been converted into boutiques.  <
Very few residents live in Lucca,
and as night falls, all cars must be
outside tbe dty walls, said Satin, so
the people in Lucca can stroll around
tbe dty.
Still, Italy is not without its minor
hazards, remembers Satin. One group
member during last summer's excursion was approached by a group of
gypsies at a busy flea market. A
female gypsie stole his wallet so "be
stole it back," said Satin. "He just
reached inside her dress and pulled it
out. Lucky for him she had his
wallet"
Group members are encouraged
to use their free time exploring other
aspects of Italy, whether it be floating
down a Venice waterway or visiting
Pompeii.
"They'll learn a lot and they'll enjoy tbe whole thing," said Satin.
"You'll be seeing life as it really is.
