- Description:
- This project provides a complete set of lesson plans and training aids for the teaching of a university-level course in Basic Mountaineering. The justification for this project is that it facilitates the teaching process for a qualified mountaineer instructor who lacks the organizational skills of the professional education. Central to this project are two slide sets with accompanying narratives. The slides present the fundamentals of climbing in a concise, visual, easy to understand format. Subject matter starts with basics and then proceeds to more advanced techniques. The slides thus present an overview of the entire semester and should be used as introductory lectures. In addition to the slide sets, this project provides an entire set of lesson plans for the teaching of a semester long course. The lesson plans provide guidance for the instructor by describing the equipment required, the safety considerations, and the behavioral objectives for each class. For classroom sessions, the lesson plans provide a detailed outline of contents. For field sessions, each lesson plan not only describes the type of activity to be conducted but also gives criteria for selecting an appropriate climbing route. The lesson plans and accompanying slides form the heart of this project, but some additional materials are provided. These include the following: an introduction, a sample course outline, a list of all required equipment, and a bibliography. In summary, this project provides complete background material for the teaching of Basic Mountaineering.

- The purpose of this study was to determine the status of commercial music programs in the public two-year colleges of California during the 1974-1975 academic year. It was designed to collect and document the current commercial music course offerings of the various colleges. The data for the study was derived from questionnaire replies from fifty-two California public two-year college music department chairmen or their representatives, information extracted from current 1974-75 college catalogues, class schedules, music department bulletins, personal interviews, plus material discovered through extensive research in numerous public and university libraries. The compiled data was analyzed, presented, and discussed in text and tabular form. The following conclusions were formulated: (1) The greatest number of public two-year colleges offering commercial music programs and courses in commercial music are located, almost exclusively, in the southern section of the state of California, (2) the most popular commercial music course continues to be, historically, the Stage or Dance Band, (3) new courses such as Music Notation and Copying, Arranging, Studio or Recording Band, Commercial Music Technique, and Jazz Theory and Improvisation are finding their way into the curriculum, (4) further investigation of course content in the area of commercial music is recommended for greater uniformity and possible standardization, and (5) reflecting rising student demand, more courses in commercial music will gradually find their way into the curriculums of most California public two-year colleges

- Description:
- Trumpet Consort von Humboldt focuses on the baroque trumpet -- having no valves or any moving parts -- and a rich tradition of centuries of music for trumpet. This “whole consort” uses replica trumpets made by David Edwards (London) of the 1667 English trumpet in copper and silver by Simon Beale. TCvH has also used trumpets in Bb and C, low F, high D and Eb, and piccolo Bb and A. TCvH joined Oregon's Jefferson Baroque Orchestra in a rare performance of Handel's “Royal Fireworks Music” and has assisted in concerts in Sacramento and in Davis. An ongoing quest has been to perform, as brass players did so famously in the old days, from civic towers, so TCvH has performed from towers on the campuses of U. C. Berkeley and Stanford, in both cases also with carillon. Dr. Cline gained practical experience in baroque trumpet performances, often as a soloist, with Seattle Baroque, Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra, Portland Baroque Orchestra, Musica Angelica Baroque (Los Angeles), Trinity Consort (Portland), Jefferson Baroque Orchestra (Ashland), San Francisco Bay Area ensembles Magnificat and American Bach Soloists, the Oregon Coast Festival, and the San Luis Obispo Mozart Festival. Instrument of the court and professional guilds, the true trumpet (7-to-8 foot folded trumpet) uses the upper two octaves of the harmonic series. This long trumpet is the one employed in works by Bach, Handel, and so many others up until the time of Mozart, Beethoven, and Haydn -- when the clarinet (a name deriving from the high “clarino” trumpet) usurped the trumpet as a prominent wind instrument. TCvH achieves authentic sounds by not using nodal vent holes found on other baroque trumpets used by many professionals, and enjoys playing one-handed. Other TCvH elements are use of specialized baroque trumpet mouthpieces (different from modern ones) with a much larger throat (hole/bore) and a larger shank and outlet, and tuning bits and crooks. Our Beale trumpets, like genuine old trumpets, have no venturi/taper; except for the bell flare they fit the acoustical descriptor of being cylindrical, unlike modern trumpets and other baroque trumpet replicas.

- Description:
- Humboldt Bay Brass Band (HBBB) is comprised of the U.K. standard two dozen brass players and three percussionists, and performs a wide variety of music: middle ages, renaissance, baroque, and up to contemporary and cutting edge. Unlike other so-called “brass bands,” a true brass band has no woodwinds, and all brass parts (even tubas, called basses) are in treble clef; as with saxophone, players may easily switch instruments, using consistent fingerings. The conical cornet, facile and light, is employed for the highest parts -- serving much the same role as violin in orchestra, or flute and clarinet in (wood) wind bands. This formulaic instrumentation (analogous to symphony orchestra or jazz big band) ensures good tonal balance, is required for competitions, and is useful for ready availability of published music. Band programming in the U.K. tends to be polarized toward crowd pleasers (marches, orchestral transcriptions, etcetera) on one end, with difficult test pieces on the other end. HBBB explores these extremes and is adding a body of locally-produced works, including original compositions, editions of early music, and arrangements of historical music pertaining to Humboldt County -- arranged, edited, and composed by Dr. Cline. HBBB was formed after an inspiring 2002 sabbatical trip to England to museums, instrument collections, the Royal Northern Conservatory, trumpet makers, brass bands (both observing and playing with), and the National Brass Band Championships of Great Britain at Royal Albert Hall in London. Both HSU and community brass players (including George Ritscher, who possesses a brass band music library far exceeding what HSU owned) subsequently expressed interest in forming a brass band. Established in 2003, HBBB recorded a full length audio CD, has been featured on local access TV broadcasts and also on a world-wide-web pod cast, and has presented many concerts. Meeting for Fall and Spring ten-week seasons, members include HSU students and other leading brass players from Eureka, Fortuna, Ferndale, and Redway to the south, and Crescent City and Brookings, Oregon to the north.

- The following description, provided by Sandy Vrem, accompanied the exhibit of U.S. political campaign memorabilia, 1896-2004. "Scid’s Collection My grandfather, Scid Fulton, started collecting campaign buttons when he was a teenager in the early 1900’s. He grew up in a small town in upstate New York where most of the residents were Republicans; as a result he ended up with more republican buttons than democratic buttons. He would display the buttons in a storefront window every election year. When he died in 1969, my mother, Priscilla Fulton Jung, continued with the responsibilities of the collection. She displayed the collection in the public library. On June 15, 1993 my mother’s house was struck by lightning and caught fire. I remember talking to my brother while the firemen were still putting out the fire and reminded him that part of the collection was in my old bedroom where most of the flames were located. Most of the buttons were saved, but you can see the water damage on some of them. In 1994 the collection was passed on to me: I had to research the elections and redo the display boxes. The collection has been on display at College of the Redwoods during the past three elections, since I was on the faculty there, and now they are here, at the HSU library. This is not only a piece of U.S. history, but part of my family’s history. Campaign Buttons The political buttons of the early 19th century were sewn on clothing. They were made of brass, horn, or rubber and were stamped or molded with designs. The first campaign buttons as we know them were made in 1896 when William McKinley and William Jennings Bryan were running for president. These buttons were made of celluloid, a thin, transparent covering that was used to protect an image printed on paper. Usually the image was a photograph of a candidate. From 1896 to 1920, a wide variety of color inks and intricate designs resulted in buttons that were outstanding for their beauty. Lithographed buttons, which were made by printing color on tin, were blamed for the demise of the celluloid buttons. In 1920, presidential campaign buttons were mainly lithograph tin buttons. During the 1930’s and 1940’s three inch buttons became popular. Also the exclusive use of red, white and blue made all the buttons look alike. These two trends troubled many collectors. The buttons of the 1960’s reversed these trends. Pop and psychedelic art had a large impact on the political buttons. Current presidential campaign buttons are largely limited to faces and names rather than symbolic representation of issues."
