Is jazz coming back? CSUF students are less into Hammer and more into the likes of Harry Connick, Jr. and Dave Brubeck. "I think the popularity of jazz among college students is due to maturation. We a re drawn to jazz because of its complexity and artistic contribution;" said English major Johanna Callahan. Students give many reasons for the renewed interest in jazz music. Scott Carter, former DJ for KFSR's moming jazz show, said, "This type of music is popular because it is so progressive, ifs the post-Vietnam generation's music." Carter prefers fusion of all jazz styles. He was first attracted to the genre by fusionist Kenny G, a popular saxophonist whose album "Duo Tones" reached Billboard's number one position. Some students find jazz a refreshing change from rap and hard and mellow rock and others find it addictive. "I was at a friend's house, and when she played Sade I was hooked. "It was like an addiction. Once I heard It, that was it," said marketing major Esther Maniscalco. An example of changing attitudes toward jazz is the atten- E dance at jazz concerts. "When I went to see Harry Connick, Jr., twice, I wassurprised that there were just as many teenagers there as adults," said 21- year-old journalism majorStefanie Monahan. "Harry Connick, Jr. is the only musidan my mom and I can both listen to. The new popularity of jazz is helping to bridge the generation gap," said Monahan. When Nishan Majarian, a 23- year-old CSUF speech communications major, attended the Dave Brubeck Quartet's concert, he had never heard jazz before. Majarian came out a fan for life. "This was the first non-rock concert I have gone to. I've been missing out." Majariansaid. "I'm amazed by the amount of energy and ingenuity a 71-year- old has - his music seems like it was written within the last year, not fifty yearsago," said Majarian. Callahan, 23, started listening to jazz because her husband played his favorites like Frank Sinatra, (who she does not consider as a jazz musidan) Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole and Harry Connick, Jr. around her. "My husband always says The only guy cooler than me is Sinatra,'" Callahan said. Whatever the reason, students all overcampusarechanging their radio stations from local rock to local jazz stations. In general, most students agreed it was the intense beat that was the draw of jazz. "You can't help but move when listening to jazz. It's the kind of music you can clean your house to," Carter said.

Show goes on National competition awaits CSUF actors By Barry Marlow Staff Writer The waiting has begun in the CSUF Theatre Arts Department. After tremendous success in the regionals of the American College Theatre Festival, CSUF's production of "Championship Theater," has been held over. The department is waiting to hear if they will be selected to compete In the national competition April 27 at the' Kennedy Center in Washington, D. C.The grand news should come sometime during the first or second week of March. The regional competition is an opportunity for college's to be evaluated on everything from acting, make-up design, audio and lighting design, to set and property design.But aside from the competition, there are workshops for the students to attend. CSUF has been a regional finalist 12 times since the competition began in 1968. Two other schools, UNLV and CSU San Bernadino, were also selected as regional winners and are waiting to here about the nationals as well. Pamela Dyer, business and promotions manager for the theatre department, coordinated CSUF's hosting of this year's regional competition. "This festival really allowed our faculty and students to show off the quality of our department," Dyer said. Two CSUF students made it to the finals of the Irene Ryan Individual Award competition. Ellen Horn and Kathryn Jones both qualified for the finals in a competition that featured 200 nominees. Irene Ryan is familiar to most people as the character "Granny" 6n the long-running television show The Beverly Hillbillies. S The finals featured 17 hopefuls competing for two scholarships. The winners of the Ryan / awards were from the University of Utah and UC, Santa Barbara. Dyer said the school's successful hosting of the regional will have its rewards for many years down the road. 'This was a wonderful recruiting tool for us, as many students will be transfering from two-year-schools," Dyer said. "Maybe they will keep us in mind," she added. Dyer said the support from the faculty, administration and support staff madeherjobeasier. "Usually these typesof events are thrust upon one or two people," Dyer said. "But from the very beginning, our faculty and staff were there to help." CSUF President, John Welty, hosted a VIP breakfast that Dyer describes as, "fabulous." The department had the chance to showcase their new theatre as nearly 1,000 people visited the campus for the competition, o 1 ■
