A Gospel Music Extravaganza.” The 5th Annual Gospelfest was sponsored by the Voices of Praise, a five-year-old subcommittee of the Memorial Student Center’s Black Awareness Committee. The show featured both gospel songs performed in the traditional manner, and more contemporary spiritual tunes featuring jazzy piano, organ and percussion accompani ment. But regardless of the flavor of the music, all of the choirs sang with genuine emotion and sincerity. And the audience, for its part, couldn’t help but get caught up in the cele bration. The Voices of Praise — 75 mem bers strong — set the crowd in mo tion as they opened the evening with their high-energy performance. The singers got the full-house au dience on its feet with their powerful voices and upbeat rhythm, and the show featured moving compositions by the group’s own musicians. The Voices of Praise was followed by the Voices of Zion, a small but tal ented choir from Houston, and the Coliseum Park Baptist Church Inspirational Choir from San Anto nio. A high point of the show was a rather untraditional rendition of the Lord’s Prayer by Innervisions of Blackness, a student choir from the University of Texas at Austin. Innvervisions’ members wore beautiful rose-colored dresses, matched by suits with rose cummer- Members of Voices of Praise perform at ‘Gospelfest ’86.’ Photo by DougWJ bunds instead of the traditional choir robes, and the performance was as dynamic as the group’s ap pearance. Other “Gospelfest” performers included the Soul Lifters from Sam Houston State University, the Bap tist Student Movement Choir from Prairie View A&M University and Psalms 150 from Lamar University. The show was concluded by a mass choir performance as all the group tions. The joined tor the final SI combined voices of i pel choir members created a intensity that had to be heai believed. Scientist: Few MIA remains can be positively identified DALLAS (AP) — Very few of the remains of missing-in-action service men returned from Southeast Asia can be positively identified, and say ing they can be is cruel to their fami lies, a researcher says. Dr. Michael Charney, a forensic anthropologist and professor emeri tus of physical anthroplogy at Colo rado State University, said he has ex- ami ned the remains of 19 servicemen identified by the military and concluded that the identifica tion can be verified for only two. Charney, in Dallas Saturday to ad dress a meeting of Vietnam veter ans, said military officials “were making judgments that nobody could make. So I have been tearing at them ever since. It’s not right to do this to the families. They should tell them the truth.” Charney, 74, is director of foren sic science laboratory at Colorado State. He said he is an expert on bone identification and facial re construction and one of 34 certified forensic anthropologists in the United States and Canada. Charney said he told a House sub committee in September that if his sample of 19 investigations held for all returned MIA remains, 90 per cent have been misidentified. But Col. Keith Schneider, a De fense Department spokesman, said Sunday that it was “complete and to tal rubbish” to contend that 90 per cent of MIA remains have been misi dentified. Charney said his work has changed the way the military refers to the identification process, a con tention that Schneider disputed. were made purely by forensic means and said it was “rather amusing” that Charney would say his efforts led to a change in military procedure. “We’ve said that identifications are based upon all the material that is available,” he said, including medi cal records and crew manifests. ‘'Identification is made by exclusion. . . . if several people have been found and one hasn't, what is found is the missing per son. ” — Dr. Michael Charney Charney, 74, said he and other ex perts have become involved with the identification question because fami lies of MI As want to be sure whom they are burying. Schneider said that three inde pendent forensic scientists visited the U.S. Army Central Identification Laboratory in Honolulu last Decem ber and examined cases involving more than 30 MI As, including a case where the remains of 13 servicemen had fieen mingled together. At one time, Charney said, mili tary officials claimed that identifica tions were biological, but “they no longer say the bones match.” “Now they say identification is made by exclusion,” he said. “That means that if several people have been found and one hasn’t, what is found is the missing person.” Schneider said the military has never claimed that identifications The scientists said most of the identifications were sound and le gally supportable, according to Schneider. Of the 13 commingled bodies, the panel agreed with two of the identi fications, Schneider said. Though the panel did not support the Army’s identification of the other 1 1 bodies, it did not say the military had misidentified them, he said.
