Norman Luboff, distinguished leader of the Norman Luboff Choir, is
scheduled to present a program of highly polished entertainment in the second
of this years Community Concert series. The Luboff Choir is renowned not
only in the recording world, but also in movies and the concert stage.
What is entertaining to the students
of NSC? Comedians? Folk Singers?
Rock and roll singers? Jazz combos?
Country and Western music? Concert
orchestras? Vocalists? To find out just
what it is that Northern students find
most entertaining, the Big Name En-tertairunent
Committee is conducting
a poll today and tomorrow, Oct. 20-
21, in the Union.
The committee will use the results
of the poll to help with the task of
finding groups to present to the
school. It is necessary for many stu-dents
to vote so that the committee
will have a good idea of the true
tastes of the student body.
In the humorous category will be
Bill Cosby, the Smothers Brothers,
and Bob Newhart. Henry Mancini,
the Hollywood Strings and Percy
Faith arc on the list as concert or-chestras.
Folk singing groups are Peter, Paul,
and Mary; The Lettermen; The High-waymen;
The Serandipidy Singers,
and The Young Americans. Jazz
groups are Dave Brubeck, Ramsey
Lewis, and Peter Fountain, while The

Norman Luboff and the Norman
Luboff Choir will appear at the
Aberdeen Civic Arena next Tuesday,
Oct. 25, at 8:15 p.m., under the
auspices of the Aberdeen Community
Concert Association in their debut
performance in Aberdeen. Faculty and
students will be admitted with acti-vity
tickets.
The popularity of this conductor-arranger
and his group was achieved
primarily through the many record-ings,
on both the RCA Victor and
Columbia labels, for which the group
was originally created.
The nucleus of the recording Choir
consists of 25 to 30 virtuoso profes-sional
singers with a repertoire that
quite literally runs the gamut from
Bach to the Blues.
Luboff's background and exper-ience
represent a solid foundation for
his distinguished accomplishments.
Born in Chicago in 1917, he studied
piano and voice as a boy, but it was
not until college that he gave any
serious thought of making music his
profession. After attending the Uni-versity
of Chicago and Central Col-lege,
however, he enrolled for gradu-ate
study in orchestration and compo-sition
under the noted composer, Leo
Sowerby.
Luboff's professional career had a
three-ply beginning; he taught theory,
he began to make commercial ar-
The editors of Northern's two ma-'
jor student publications and the di-rector
of publications left this morn-ing
for the combined Associated Col-legiate
Press (ACP)—National Council
of College Publications Advisers
(NCCPA) convention being held in
Philadelphia.
Linda Roeszler, Ashley junior,
Pasque editor; Charlene Schumacher,
Aberdeen junior, Exponent editor;
and Miss Elizabeth Evenson, director
of publications at NSC and South
Dakota state chairman for NCCPA,
will attend sessions through Saturday
and return Sunday, Oct. 23.
The ACP convention will feature
sessions on yearbook production,
makeup, financing, and photography;
distinguished speakers who will be
featured include Professor C. J. Med-lin,
Kansas State University, winner
of two major awards for All-American
advisers, and Benjamin W. Allnutt,
winner of a Distinguished Service
award and ACP judge for major col-rangements
and orchestrations, and
he employed his trained baritone voice
to fine advantage as a "pops" singer.
While appearing regularly on various
Chicago radio programs, in local
theatres, and on recordings, he be-came
equally sought after as an ar-ranger.
Following military service in the
Signal Corps during World War II,
Luboff moved to New York where,
as a singer at various times, he was
frequently heard on many top name
shows.
During this period, Luboff met his
wife, the former Betty Mulliner. A
fine singer herself, Miss Mulliner did
a great deal of radio and recording
work. Today, Mrs. Luboff is the fea-tured
soloist and lead singer with
the Norman Luboff Choir.
By 1945, the demand for Norman
Luboff arrangements, from the Hit
Parade, the Fred Allen show, the Mil-ton
Berle show, the Chorus of Stars,
and others, had become so great
that he gave up singing entirely.
Shortly afterward, Hollywood beckon-ed,
and in response to an invitation
from Gordon MacRae to join the Rail-road
Hour production staff, the Lu-boffs
moved to the West Coast.
For the next seven years, Maestro
Luboff composed and arranged music
for more than 80 movies, including
"Giant." Luboff arrangements have
been heard regularly on such tele-lege
yearbooks.
Newspaper sessions will include
"Freedom of the Press," a panel that
will include noted libel lawyer Har-old
E. Kohn; "The Student Revolu-tion
and the Press"; and "The Editor-ial
Page as a Forum," conducted by
Professor Mel Mencher, graduate
School of Journalism, Columbia Uni-versity.
Individual discussion will be allow-ed,
-permitting delegates the oppor-tunity
to discuss specific problems.
Convention delegates will be stay-ing
at the historic Benjamin Franklin
Hotel in Philadelphia. Both the Ex-ponent
and the Pasque belong to the
ACP, which offers suggestions and
materials as well as a critical analy-sis
of both publications each year.
