Wichita State Volleyball season outlook

The 2009 Shockers return 10 letterwinners and six starters to a team that won a school-record 30 matches a season ago. WSU won its fourth Missouri Valley Conference title in the last five years with an 18-0 mark and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. WSU also earned its highest ranking in school history at No. 9 in the AVCA poll and finished the regular-season 29-0.

Head coach Chris Lamb returns for his 10th season with the Shocks having led the team to five-straight 25-win seasons and seven-straight Missouri Valley Conference Tournaments.

WSU returns six starters including seniors Emily Stockman, Katie Niggemeyer and Melissa Granville, junior Sarah McGee and sophomores Mary Elizabeth Hooper and Sarah Waldorf.

At setter, the Shockers return Collegiate Volleyball Update National Freshman-of-the-Year Mary Elizabeth Hooper. Last season, Hooper, who was also named the Missouri Valley Conference Freshman-of-the-Year, averaged 10.47 assists, 1.28 kills, 1.94 digs and 0.54 blocks per set. The Shockers will welcome highly touted freshman setter Chelsey Feekin to the team as well.

'Shocker Fitness' gaining speed

The best ideas are often those borrowed.

That's the case with Steve Rainbolt's "Shocker Fitness with Coach Bolt" -- a community workout program patterned off of Lawrence's "Dog Days Fitness."

"I was up there visiting last summer and heard about 'Dog Days'," said Rainbolt -- Wichita State's Director of Track and Field. "I went out and had a work out with like 400 people at Memorial Stadium, and I thought 'we could do this in Wichita."

And it's caught on. From 30 people last September to 175 heading into the 10-week summer session, representing a wide range of ages and athletic ability.

"Everybody goes at their own pace," Rainbolt said. "If they can't handle some of the intense stuff that we do, then they got a little bit slower. We've got them all the way up into their 70's here. And all the way down to junior high age."

WuShock reaches milestone of 5,000 Facebook friends

WuShock's popularity has resulted in good news and bad news.

The good news for the Wichita State University mascot is that, in less than a year, WuShock's friends on Facebook have risen from about 500 to 5,000 friends. The bad news is that Facebook doesn't allow more than 5,000 friends per year.

WuShock took the news in stride, pointing out that he considers everyone in the city of Wichita and Sedgwick County as his close personal friend.

"I enjoy having so many friends, but I'm disappointed that Facebook restricts users to no more than a 5,000-friend connection," said WuShock.

As of spring 2008, there were 70 million active Facebook users, but fewer than 1,000 users had 5,000 friends.

In light of the 5,000 limit, Wu is thinking about setting up a fan page on Facebook, which would allow more friends. In the meantime, people can become a fan of Wichita State University.

Maize High School freshman Gabby White was honored today (Monday, May 18) as friend No. 5,000 on WuShock's Facebook account. White received a gift bag from WuShock containing a variety of Shocker attire —a shirt, pom pon, foam finger, car sticker, lanyard, key chain, mug, Frisbee and a special WuShock hat.

While WuShock is regularly seen cheering for the Shockers at home sporting events, WSU's mascot has been seen a lot around the Wichita area this past year. In the past month, WuShock ran in the Wichita River Festival River Run. He also has been seen at the Sedgwick County Zoo.

WuShock ran well in the 2-mile run, but admitted, "I enjoyed taking time for some hugs and pictures with many of my friends."

Wu's presence on the Internet and actions in the community are well-known on the cult Web site http://whereswu.com/.

Last November, WuShock's 60th birthday party was celebrated at a WSU basketball game in Charles Koch Arena with about 10,000 of his closest friends.

WuShock also is a regular fixture on TV and around Wichita.

Although WuShock has maxed out on Facebook friends, WuShock continues to participate in other social media, such as Twitter.

WSU Symphony to feature organist Lynne Davis

Lynne Davis

Lynne Davis, associate professor of organ, will appear as soloist with the Wichita State University Symphony Orchestra at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 9, in Wiedemann Recital Hall.

The program, including music by Mozart, Beethoven, Poulenc and Hanson, will be led by Mark Laycock, WSU director of orchestras.

An international concert artist, Davis is the Ann and Dennis Ross Endowed Faculty of Distinction in Organ. She lived in France for more than 30 years, where she was recognized with the "Certificat d'Aptitude de Professeur d'Orgue" by the French government.

Her recordings include discs and broadcast recordings in England and on the famed organ at Chartres Cathedral in France, where her recording "Musique pour Cathédrales" won the coveted French 5 Diapasons award.

Davis will perform Francis Poulenc's Organ Concerto in G Minor (1938), a colorful and dramatic work. Faculty harpist Ann Glasmann will join Davis and the WSU Symphony in Howard Hanson's Concerto for Organ, Harp and Strings (1926).

Davis will open the program with a selection of three of Mozart's Church Sonatas, delightful miniatures accompanied by strings.

Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 in F Major will also be featured.

Composed in 1812, it is one of the composer's most playful and humorous works.

A native of Michigan, Davis graduated with honors from the University of Michigan, where she studied with Robert Clark.

Shortly after, she went to France to study with Marie-Claire Alain. While there she also studied with Jean Langlais, Maurice and Marie-Madeleine Duruflé, and Edouard Souberbielle, as well as other great European master organists.

Davis' career was launched by taking First Prize at the prestigious St. Albans International Organ Competition in England. Since then, her activities have included featured performances at American Guild of Organists national conventions, international competition juries, and concerts, masterclasses and lectures given about French organ literature and its history.

A renowned teacher, Davis has served as organ professor at the Conservatory of Music in Clamart, near Paris, and from 1997 to 2006 at the French National Regional Conservatory in Caen, France. She came to WSU in 2006.

In addition to heading the WSU's organ program, she also produces the Rie Bloomfield Organ Series for the university.

Davis performs extensively and always to enthusiastic critical acclaim both in Europe and North America, said Laycock. Her most recent recording is "Lynne Davis en Concert" on the world-renowned Cavaillé-Coll organ at the church of St. Etienne in Caen, France.

Laycock is an associate professor of music at WSU, where he holds the Ann Walenta Faculty of Distinction Endowed Professorship.

His work as guest conductor, clinician and adjudicator spans 16 states, including the leadership of all-state orchestras in Alabama, Iowa, Nebraska and Washington; recent and upcoming engagements include the Wichita Symphony Orchestra, Maryland All-State Orchestra, Oklahoma Youth Orchestra, Kansas Junior High State Orchestra, Northeast Kansas Ninth Grade Honor Orchestra and Hastings (Neb.) College High School Honor Festival.

The concert also will be simulcast on WSU Internet Radio at http://wsuir.wichita.edu.

Volleyball team achieves perfection

It is the first undefeated regular-season in Shocker history and just the second-ever by a Missouri Valley Conference volleyball team. The 1999 UNI volleyball team finished the regular-season 26-0. It is also just the sixth time in MVC history that a team finished Valley play undefeated. UNI did it in 1995, 1998, 1999 and 2000, while the Shockers did it in 2005.

Scottish Rite gala to aid WSU Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic

More than 2,200 people with communication disorders received services last year from the Wichita State University Evelyn H. Cassat Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic. Many were children in need of help with speech and language disorders.

Thanks to the Kansas Scottish Rite Foundation, which formed a Rite-Care™ partnership with the Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic in 2001, intervention has been possible for numerous children who otherwise might not have been able to receive the services needed to become successful communicators.

The Wichita Scottish Rite provides a significant amount of financial support for clients receiving services at the WSU clinic, said Laurie Hughey, director of the clinic.

One of the ways the Scottish Rite supports the clinic is through an annual fundraiser that combines champagne, chocolate and live and silent auctions. The sixth annual Champagne and Chocolate gala will be at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10, at the Scottish Rite, 332 E. First St. N. in downtown Wichita.

Tickets are still available at $40 for individuals or $75 for couples, and can be purchased through the Scottish Rite by calling (316) 263-4218. They can also be purchased at the door.

"The funds raised at Champagne and Chocolate allow the clinic to provide services to more than 100 children each year," Hughey said. "Our partnership with the Scottish Rite continues to grow stronger, allowing more children to have a chance to improve their speech and language skills, which will in turn give them the best chance for success in school and life."

The clinic has a long-standing history of serving children and adults with communication disorders from the greater Wichita metropolitan area. Its mission always has been two-fold: (1) to educate students to become the best speech-language pathologists and audiologists that they can be and (2) to provide the best services possible to individuals with speech-language and/or hearing needs.

WSU Madrigals to host Hutchinson ensemble

The Wichita State University Madrigal Singers and Chamber Singers, along with special guest choir, the Hutchinson Community College vocal jazz ensemble Badinage, will present "Jazz and More!" at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 21, in Wiedemann Recital Hall.

The highly recognized vocal jazz ensemble Badinage ("playful banter" in French), under the direction of Neal Alsup, is one of three vocal jazz ensembles at Hutchinson Community College. The ensemble has six vocalists and is accompanied by an instrumental jazz combo. The repertoire performed by the group includes a variety of jazz styles: standards, swing, Latin, ballads and bebop. Badinage has performed at the Carnegie Hall, Disney World, Kansas Music Educators conventions and the Kansas State Fair. Every year, this ensemble performs at major jazz festivals around the nation.

Tom Wine

The WSU Madrigal Singers, directed by Tom Wine, will feature three sets of music. The opening group is a series of three Renaissance songs, featuring some "fowl" language, said Wine – that is, music about a nightingale, a swan and finally a hen. The second set is a series of multicultural music from around the globe that uses tone syllables as a way of conveying the mood of the song. The represented countries include Argentina, Germany and Fiji. The final set has both sadness and joy, Wine said. The closing selection, "I am a Poor College Student," will feature some surprise guest soloists.

The WSU Chamber Singers, under the direction of Stephanie Gilmore, also will present an entertaining evening of song. Spanning Renaissance to contemporary, the choir will provide music for all to enjoy.

Wichita State, Cowley County choirs to perform together

The Wichita State University A Cappella Choir, Women's Choir and special guest choir, the Cowley Community College Concert Choir, will present "A Cool Fall Concert" at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 27, in Wiedemann Recital Hall.

The A Cappella Choir, with Tom Wine as director, is preparing a program designed to reach out to listeners on a variety of levels, said Wine.

"From the Zimbabwe song 'Sorida' to the final arrangement of 'Walk on Up to Heaven,' the concert is a musical journey," he said.

After opening with percussion and the choir in surround sound, the music will transition to a motet by Thomas Victoria, "O Vos Omnes." After a traditional selection by J. S. Bach, the choir will launch into a frenetic dance with the devil in "Daemon Irrepit Callidus" and resolve musically into "Sing Me to Heaven."

The A Cappella Choir will also perform three compositions by contemporary composer Gwyneth Walker. "The Tree of Peace" is a heartfelt setting of a poem by Quaker writer John Whittier. "Take My Hand" features faculty soloist Deborah Baxter and expresses resignation at a life gone by. The third piece is based on the traditional African-American spiritual "I Got Shoes," whose title comes from the final line of the poem "Walk on Up to Heaven."

The WSU Women's Choir, with Jennifer Crowley Johnson director, will feature classic pieces and new standards written for women's choirs. A contemporary Psalm setting, a minstrel song, three Appalachian folk songs and a contemporary acoustic folk ballad will all be featured.

The Cowley Community College Concert Choir, Connie Donnatelli director, will present contemporary choral literature from a traditional Randall Thompson selection from "The Testament of Freedom" to the lush harmonies of "Homeland" by Randall Stroope, their program includes a rousing spiritual along with the dissonant tonal styling of Eric Whitacre.

WSU College of Fine Arts has busy October planned

Among the most heartfelt events in the October lineup of WSU College of Fine Arts' offerings is the world premiere of "Waltzing in Heaven," an uplifting musical tribute to the 1970 WSU football team, many of whose members and supporters died in a plane crash that year. The Opera and Musical Theatre production's opening night will be attended by about 100 of the surviving players, parents, coaches and supporters.

The Marcussen organ will be showcased in two "Wednesdays at Wiedemann" recitals with distinguished professor Lynne Davis, and by David Heller in the Rie Bloomfield Organ Series. The Faculty Artist Series will feature mezzo-soprano Deborah Baxter and cellist Jakub Omsky.

Also on tap are the Symphonic Wind Ensemble; Concert Band and Jazz Arts II; Chamber Singers and Madrigal Singers; A Cappella Choir and Women's Ensemble; and the Symphony Orchestra. And the Ulrich Museum of Art will celebrate the installation of a new outdoor sculpture by world-class artist and Wichita native Tom Otterness.

RSC Gallery to host 'Fair Memories'

The Rhatigan Student Center Gallery will host "Fair Memories," a photography exhibit by Wichita State University student Crystal Socha, Oct. 6-17. Admission is free. The collection was inspired by Socha's interest in the people, competitions, entertainment and food that fairs typically attract.

"Traveling to various fairs every year, I began to find its sights interesting," she said. "My interest in the many fascinating people that attend fairs and the sights that fairs offer is what has led me to create this body of work."

Socha hopes the collection will "take you back to your childhood, where eating a corn dog and riding the rides at the midway was something that you looked forward to all year long."

A reception will be held from 6-8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 10, at the RSC Gallery. Socha also has photos on exhibit at Tangent Lab, Lawrence Photo, Larksfield Place Art Gallery and Augusta Arts Council.

The gallery is open from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, visit www.wichita.edu/rscgallery.

KMUW to host art exhibit Final Friday at Start-Thinking

Ten talented and generous regional artists have shared their artwork with members of KMUW 89.1, Wichita Public Radio, during the past five years. In their honor, KMUW will host an exhibit of the artists' recent work from 7:30-10 p.m. Friday, Sept. 26, at Start-Thinking, 916 E. Douglas, as part of Wichita's Final Friday art gallery tour. A Meet the Artists ticketed reception will be held from 5-7 p.m.

The KMUW artist tradition began in 2004 with Rebecca Hoyer. For Hoyer, the drawing is the core and basis of her artwork. She focuses on the relationship of each of the objects within the land or cityscape to bring them into a rhythmic harmony. Steve Murillo, known for his large mural work around Wichita, was KMUW's second artist. Wichita Magazine named Murillo "Best Artist" in Wichita for 2008.

In 2005 KMUW featured fiber artist Marilyn Grisham and printmaker John Boyd. Grisham's love of the Kansas prairie shows in her fiber fusion with its juxtaposition of contrasting color. John Boyd, WSU professor emeritus, has prints, drawings and watercolors in more than 40 institutional collections. Boyd's current work is autobiographical in nature and employs computer-based image compilations.

Year three, 2006, drew Wichita designer Dustin Parker and Arkansas City landscape painter Mark Flickinger. Parker's work is a process of creation and destruction. His digital pieces speak to the duality of nature and opposing forces in which his concern is the interaction between the artist and the medium. Flickinger's oil-based work is all about light, the play of light and shadow on trees, rocks and streams. These elements constitute his mainly Kansas landscapes.

Diane Thomas Lincoln, assistant professor of painting and drawing at WSU and 2007 artist, says her work reflects a keen interest in cultural story telling, myth, spirituality, symbolism and nature. Thomas Lincoln's work ranges from collages and assemblages to Great Plains landscapes. Charles Baughman, co-owner of The Monart School of Art, tells his students to "paint what you love." His current work reflects his love of cooking and the implements from his mother and grandmother's kitchens.

Curtis Clonts, Artist-in-Residence at Friends University, created the artwork for the spring 2008 drive. Clonts' paper and oil collages of birds and foliage appear in bright contrasting colors as he "searches for the nearest-to-perfect 'zone.' "

The 10th KMUW artist is Kathleen Shanahan, whose art will appear on this fall's membership drive premiums. Her paintings have a strong rhythm with multiple points of contact. Shanahan is a former professor of art at Wichita State University.

KMUW 89.1 operates as a public service of Wichita State University, which holds its license as a non-commercial charter member of National Public Radio, and affiliate of Public Radio International and American Public Media. The station is a sub-carrier of WRRS, the Wichita Radio Reading Service that broadcasts news free to people who have visual difficulties with reading.

WSU Shift Space to host video art for Final Friday

WSU Shift Space will present "FLICKER," an exhibition of collaborative experimental video installation works created by WSU School of Art and Design students and faculty, with an opening reception from 7-10 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 26, at Shift Space, 803 E. 3rd St. in Old Town, as part of Wichita's Final Friday art gallery tour. The reception is free and open to the public.

Shift Space hours are 4-7 p.m. Wednesdays- Fridays; and 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturdays.

For this exhibit, student artists were led in teams by faculty members. Ted Adler, ceramics, guided student artists Jordan Chalmers, Matt Clagg, Bridget Elpers and Erin Raux. Robert Bubp, painting and drawing, teamed up with student artists Amy Baptista, Lauren Clay, Gina Cumberland and Todd Hayes. Monika Meler led Fred Bohn, Nathan Carris Carnes, Brady Hatter, Meghan Hayes and Hallie Linnebur; Linda Robinson, photography, led Anna Downing, Amber Greenlee, Amanda Novotny, Kelly Pirner and Landon Taylor. Annie Strader, ceramics, mentored Melody Bevier, Bevin Fitzgerald, Marcus Lawrence, Mason Monigold and Heather Powell; Levente Sulyok, painting and drawing, led Melissa Friday, Alyssa Henning, Tatiana Svrckova and Katera Walton.

WSU Shift Space is a public art gallery maintained by WSU's College of Fine Arts School of Art and Design. For more information, call the WSU School of Art and Design at (316) 978-3555 or visit www.shiftspace.blogs.com for a full schedule of events and programming.
