The contest was held to encourage carillonneurs to perform in public and professionally and to advertise the carillon in America in a new and unique way. Byrnes was selected as a finalist based on a performance tape he submitted. On the tape he played "Reflexies" by Jacque Maasen, a piece he played for his masters degree • graduate recital. " 'Reflexies' is probably the most difficult piece for carillon," Byrnes admits. He believes competition judges listened for contestants' abilities to play quickly and slowly, to bring out the melody, to accent passages and notes, to interpret a carillon piece musically and to use dynamics. In the competition Byrnes played several modern carillon pieces and a preludio by a 17th century composer. Each finalist also played a piece commissioned for the contest and written by the former carillonneur at the Thomas Rees Carillon. Carillon composition is a recent thing, according to the UNI car­ illonneur. Most carillon music has come from arrangements of folk songs and religious pieces. "There's also a lot of improvisation in European carillon playing but Americans are not as daring," Byrnes says. 'We like things to be more The only known per on in the country with a masters degree in ca rillon playing, Byrnes predictable.

NI president John J. Kamerick U took a 10-day trip to the Republic of China (Taiwan) and found a country trying to catch up with a modern world. Kamerick was part of a delegation of 15 state college and university presi­ dents who visited the island off the southeast coast of the Chinese mainland June 4-14. The representa­ tives from the American Association of State College and Universities (MSCU) went to learn more about Taiwan's education system and recommend ways to expand cooperative international education programs. Upon returning to the United States and UNI, Kamerick viewed the trip as a success. The group's Taiwan hosts filled each day with tours of uni­ versities, schools, shipping yards, marble and mushroom industries, steel mills and visits with various Chinese officials. "Sometimes we got up at 5:30 a.m. to be on a bus at 7:15," Kamerick said, glad that that part of the trip was over. For Kamerick the visits to the National Taiwan Normal University, the National Taiwan University and the National Taiwan Institute of Tech­ nology were enlightening. Most

Mrs. Beichley retired from teaching four years ago only a few hours away from a bachelor's degree. After inquiring about the BLS degree, Mrs. Beichley's records were reviewed and she received credit for all of the classes she'd taken since 1%3. The UNI registrar said that she needed a two-hour course to complete the 124 hour BLS requirement. For her final course Mrs. Beichley chose the Extension Division course "The Metric System and Measurement" offered through the UNI math department. She enjoys math and found the metric course most interesting but difficult. "I spent a lot of time on it," she said. "Many evenings after we finished dinner I studied until midnight." She spread out her books and workbook on the dining room table, plus several reference books and became engrossed in the world of scientific notation and metric conversions. Diane Baum, assistant professor of mathematics, was the course instructor. "She did a good job grading my papers," Mrs. Beichley said. "She returned the papers promptly with many comments and answers to the problems I missed." Mrs. Beichley worked through the eight lessons in record time.

Justis and Leslie, assistant directors for Alumni Services and Development, speak highly of the volunteers and emphasize that all kinds of volunteers are depended upon for the many volunteer efforts. For the Foundation, Justis explains,. there are two main types of volunteers, both equally important. First off are the fund rai sers, the volunteers who solicit funds now used primarily for the UNI-Dome and Foundation annual giving fund. Two such volunteers who helped start the Foundation are Walter Brown, B.A. '38, and LeRoy Redfern. Brown has been president of the Foundation and the Alumni Association and is still on the Foundation board of directors. He also spends some time fund raising for the Foundation. Redfern helped get the Foundation off the ground although his original interest was to help rai se money for Athletic Club football scholarships.

24 Musical Compositions

by Dennis Smith, eclectic composer and teacher

Dennis Smith describes his style of musical composition as eclectic. Smith, B.A. '59, M.A. '67, believes, "Anyone seriously involved in writing should be able to write any kind of music. I get personal satisfaction from tackling any kind of opportunity to write music." His eclectic style and belief in the above shine through in the number and kind of compositions Smith has written si nce the time he attended then Iowa State Teachers College (ISTC) and wanted to be a band director. One of his most recent works, "Music for Chamber Orchestra," received a premiere performance by the Waterloo-Cedar Fall s Symphony last February. The work was his thesis for the Master of Fine Arts degree which he earned from the University of Iowa in 1977. Smith has also written music for the Northern Brass Quintet at UNI, the UNI wind ensemble and the Upper Iowa jazz and concert bands. He also wrote "Music for Piano" performed by Prof. James Avery at Upper Iowa in 1976. As his efforts indicate, Smith is more interested in having his music performed than published. Dennis Smith, composer/conductor, combines the best of both The French horn player composes because of what worlds.

At Hoover (a bove) Smith something, the need to explore the possibilities. studies a musical question from an orchestra student. "I like to think of composing as a problem-solving, choice-making activity," Smith explains. "You establish a certain orientation of pitches and then make basic decisions about melody, rhythm and what instruments will play what. "Writing music is very important to me," Smith proclaims. "If it were possible to earn a living writing music, I would do that. But, that's not possible and I feel fortunate to be able to write and teach." Smith taught at Upper Iowa College from 1%7 until
