Q&A: Football Coach Mel Tucker LOVE THE COLORADAN? See pg. 43 for circulation update. NOWSUMMER 2019 If it’s icky, slimy or smelly, it’s fair game. “Grossology,” a five-day CU Boulder camp for elementary school- age children, explores all things “gross” through experiments with slippery, messy things — including dissected animal organs — and lessons in natural happenings, such as how cavities form and what causes skunks’ odor. The camp is part of CU Science Discovery, a program founded in 1983 to offer STEM-focused K-12 summer camps, after-school programs and teacher trainings.

Words matter. For mag- azines, so do looks. That’s why we revisit the Coloradan’s design every so often. We want it to feel fresh, ener- getic, alive — like CU Boulder itself. Over the past year, we’ve worked with our design partner, Pentagram, to refresh our appearance and, we hope, deepen your reading experience. This issue is the culmination of that effort. We’ve chosen new fonts and typefaces, played with typography and emphasized color and illustration. We’ve also introduced new story- telling formats — a short Q&A called “What’s in My Phone?” and “Artifact,” which uses a historical object to illumi- nate aspects of the CU Boulder experience.

25 COLORADAN Sean McCabe FALL 2019 26 Rodney Sauer bought a cultural treasure sight unseen — a vast trove of silent film-era musical scores. Then he gave it all away.

BY ERIC GERSHON

Rodney Sauer knew it would be a heavy lift: He’d signed up to haul 5,000 pounds of vintage sheet music in 60 large boxes from Los Angeles to his Colorado home, driving the distance alone and loading and unloading on each end. The pianist and sometime-accordi- onist had looked into shipping the whole lot, but the boxes weighed more than UPS would handle. So, in September 2013, Sauer (MChem’89), bought a one-way plane ticket to L.A., rented a U-Haul and recruited five people he’d never met to convene at a storage facility between Interstate 5 and the Los Angeles River, just north of Dodger Stadium. There, in unit B749, he beheld the treasure he had purchased sight unseen and come a thousand miles to collect: Nearly 4,000 musical scores from silent film- era L.A. movie theaters. “The music is really hard to find,” said Sauer, founder of Mont Alto Motion Picture Orchestra, one of the nation’s top performers of music for silent film. “When it becomes available, you buy it.” The first successful feature-length sound film, The Jazz Singer, hit theaters in 1927. By 1929, silent film was passé. Most of the films are lost, as is most of the music. Sauer and his helpers, enlisted through an internet chat room for silent film fans, formed a fire brigade of sorts, relaying the music from its third-floor redoubt to the U-Haul. Resisting the temptation to tear into the sealed 80-pound boxes “looking for the good stuff,” Sauer kept to task, bought his companions dinner and hit the road, arriving in Colorado on Sept. 11, 2013. He pulled up to his Louisville
