1* \tt SB) *;' By GREG RICKABAUGH Assistant Photography Editor Typewriters, walkie talkies, balloons, frying pans and cookie tins were just a few of the instruments used last Wednesday aftrenoon when USC students joined the Dave Smith Jazz Quartet in making beautiful music together. There was no sheet music. There was no script. Students were told to just "go on without asking what lies before or behind." What resulted was a confused audience who sat wondering what was going on at the Russell House Patio. What they saw were about eight students walking around on stage blowing saxophones, banging Crying pans, popping balloons, playing the banjo with a metal fork, and talking into walkie talkies. What many of them heard was a bunch of noise that Beware: Col Student< By CHRIS BORKES Staff Writer Columbia weather has always been here, a person will discover that it is and for it to be warm the next.

The purpose of this two-hour performance was to join ideas with ideas, according to the Quartets spokesman, Cecil Taylor. It was to "reflect the musical effect of actions as they may be perceived in the course of daily life." Taylor said it is one thing to play, but another step to take something that is not considered an instrument and create a sound. To do this, the Quartet gathered USC students, many of which who were non-musicians. "We pretty much felt that everyone is a musician, and the audience is a musician just by listening," Taylor said. But that is where Taylor received some of the opposition he has witnessed since he joined the quartet. The USC Music Departmentobjected to the performance because of the use of non-musicians.
