By Holly Spence Tom Scott and the L.A. Express (Ode SP-77021) moves! Of course, I never expected any less from a musician of Scott's a At 25, saxophonist Scott's credentials are tops. Tom Scott The album shifts and moves from jazz to rock and back again through pops and a bit of country and it is always filled with an emotional fever and flavor. A number of electronic guitar sounds contribute to the album's super-rhythmic feeling. Along with a number of Scott's compositions and collaborations is a John Coltrane number entitled "Dahomey Dance." Some entries are fast-paced and brim full of bluesy rhythm like "Bless My Soul" and "Sneakin' in the Then Scot turns full-circle and gives out a lush soprano sax solo on "Easy Life." Diverse Talents Linda Lewis has a little girl voice on the opening of the album Fathoms Deep (Warner Bros.

Reprise MS-2172), but it doesn't take her long to move into a more mature sound. A few minutes later, she's back to the tiny vocals. Call her versatile. But her versatility extends beyond the vocal range. Her songwriting talents are as diverse as her vocal renditions which cover an astounding range of notes.

Linda moves from soft and beautiful ballads to soul material of her own creation to some pretty funky stuff. Linda holds great musical promise, even though she has already supported many top names and done two other solo albums. Unique Album Tales from Topographic Oceans (Atlantic SD 2-908) by Yes is a unique two-record album package made up of a creative four-movement piece. Yes, a talented British rock quintet, takes thoughts on religion and social Life and puts them into an inventive combination of sounds and rhythms. The feelings created run from somber meditative to soft ethereal; from the electronic to acoustic guitar.

It is a thoughtful contemporary rock piece which smacks of more than dull repetitive noise that often creeps into the rock genre nowadays. Deep Purple Deep Purple fans will be interested in the group's latest album release Burn (Warner "Bros. W-2766). This British rock quintet offers a collection of eight throbbing, penetrating rockers in their usual vibrating electric style. All of the vocals and instrumentals are hard-driving.

But. I find the album generally i i a stimulating, instrumentally. Wednesday, March 20,1974 Lincoln, Neb.

Menuhin Students to Perform Thursday Pre-6 a.m.

Practicing Banned No ordinary school is apt to have a rule that no student may practice a musical instrument before 6 a.m. But then the Yehudi Menuhin School in Stoke d'Abernon, Cobham, Surrey, England is no ordinary school. It is a school for youngsters who have great talent and a gift for playing string instruments. Seven of the school's 37 students are in Lincoln to give an 8 p.m. Thursday concert at Kimball Recital Hall.

Traveling with them are Robert Masters, school music director and concertmaster of the Menuhin Festival Orchestra, and Mrs. Jacqueline Gazelle, a member of the school's violin staff. The group is giving concerts in six U.S. cities in a whirlwind two-week tour. The school is not operated like the usual private school in England.

There are no prefects and no corporal punishment. "We're more like a family." Masters said. The students, who range in age from 8 to 17, meet weekly Parole Board Lincolnite Appointees OKd All five of Gov. J. J.

"Hie court petition was filed by developers Robert Rentfro, Crawford Pierce and Dwtght King against the city.

The resolution in question received council approval Jan. 21. It allowed the development of a community unit plan on West South and South Cot- tmgbam streets. The three developers, however, said in the petition that they objected to two portions of the resolution wftrich deal with parking and landscaping They said passage of the resolution was "unjust, arbitrary, unreasonable and discriminatory." The petition pointed out that King owned the property and that Rentfro and Pierce were buying the real estate on contract and have judicious guidance from a headmaster who prefers to make as few rules as possible, Masters explained. He added that the practice rule had to be enforced because some of the youngsters were practicing before the rising hour and disturbing other youngsters' rest.

Yehuda Karar, originally of Israeli, now of South Africa, said he and the other students practice alone about four hours every day. Karar is a cellist. In addition, he meets with his instructor twice a week. Once a month "the great cello teacher hears me." he said. In addition, Yehuda said he takes the usual school subjects, i i a English literature, French, etc.

From time to time Menuhin visits the school he started in 1963 for musically gifted children. He hears each student perform and he comments on their progress. Menuhin's sister Yaltah once served in an administrative capacity at the school, according to Mrs. Gazelle. "We are good friends and she described the concert she, Yehudi and Hephzibah performed here.

They were such good friends of Willa Gather." Mrs. Gazelle said. The students were eager to know what there is to see in Lincoln. like American youngsters, they really are looking forward to visiting Disneyland. Masters said the group will meet Menuhin in California and again in New York.

"I talked to him this evening about our experience in Dallas and he was most pleased." The students are staying with Lincoln host families. The arrangement is most pleasing to Masters, because he feels the children get a better perception of the United States. Wednesday the students practiced individually in the morning, attended a luncheon in their honor and rehearsed in the afternoon. Masters will give a master class at Westbrook Music Bldg. at 4:30 p.m.

Thursday and while here, he will listen to four local students play. On a a i vote Wednesday morning the Mayor's Committee for Housing shut the door and barred the windows on further study of Lincoln's low income housing problems. The committee, created by Mayor Sam Schwartzkopf two years ago following the tent city housing protest by low income persons, has officially disbanded. The action came on a motion from Committee members Loren Belker, seconded by Bea Richmond. At it's February meeting, the Housing Committee endorsed a resolution which set out the minimum housing needs of Lincoln's low income citizens.

That resolution was placed on Schwartzkopf's desk last month. The mayor still had not offered any response to the report when the committee gathered Wednesday. Belker, in moving for disbandment, said the February resolution and report had fulfilled the task with which the committee was charged when it was created. The resolution said in part: "If it is the intention of the mayor that our assigned duty also includes some recommendations as to have the need should be as to how the need should be met "we will continue until we make. Otherwise, our task is completed and the committee's reason for being no longer exists." a i i Wednesday's discussion that the mayor's silence on the housing report indicates that he does not expect any recommendations for housing solutions.

"This committee cannot solve the problem because the mayor has not asked," Belker said. The continuation of the committee does a disservice to community housing needs, Belker said, because it would create the illusion that a solution is forthcoming. Richmond, also one of the prime organizers of the tent city protest which gave rise to the panel's creation, and committee member Steve Head of the Lincoln action Program, said the responsibility for solving housing problems now rests with the mayor. The committee has defined the problem, they said. "We have been a nice paper committee," Richmond said.

But "we have not met the housing problems of the low income community." She predicted further action by low income citizens if something is not done soon to meet their housing needs. "If something is not done, then the City of Lincoln is in dire trouble," she said. There is a "mighty damn hot summer" coming, she said. "I think that there will be some retaliation," Richmond said at the committee meeting. When asked by a newsman a a "retaliation," Richmond said.

"I'm afraid there might be violence." Richmond said low income persons have waited two years for a solution to housing difficulties. The frustration they feel might be translated into active protest, she said. NU Ed. Professor To Address Agency University of Nebraska- Lincoln education Prof. Rex K.
