DECLARATION OF DARWYN R. APPLE
I, Darwyn R. Apple, respectfully state as follows:
I am a resident of st. Louis County, Missouri, 7839 WilliamsAvenue, Maplewood, Missouri 63143.
My professional background includes concertizing extensivelythroughout the U.S., Virgin Islands, and Europe; many years ofexperience as an educator at the elementary, middle, and highschool levels; private individual coaching and teaching plusmembership on the faculties of the following institutions:Webster University, university of Missouri-st. Louis, Lewis &Clark community College, Principia College, and Wayne Stateuniversity in Detroit, Michigan; and employment as a professionalviolinist in the orchestras of Rochester, New York, Toledo, Ohio,New Orleans, Louisiana, and st. Louis, Missouri.
My educational background includes a Bachelor's and Master'sdegree in Violin Performance from the University of Michigan inAnn Arbor, Michigan, and one year of post graduate study as aFUlbright scholar in Rome and Siena, Italy.
I find it ludicrous and inSUlting on the part of any radiostation management in st. Louis to make a claim that there are noeligible blacks to fill a position of disc jockey or announcerfor their classical listening audience. Among some of thelocally qualified people for such positions are Eugene Haynes,internationally renowned concert pianist and composer; RobertRay, pianist and composer; Roberta Reese, pianist, organist,vocalist and currently employed as a producer at Channel 2 TV inst. Louis; Darwin White, counselor (LCSW)i Adrian Walker,violinist; Harvi Griffin, internationally renowned classical/jazzharpist and vocalist, to name a few.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of theUnited States of America that the foregoing declaration is trueand correct to the best of my knOWledge and belief.
Executed
"Refinement and purity are tile lrey ingredients ofApple'sstyle. His sound is ofthe sort one could listen toforhours without tiring, and nothing he does lacks purpose. His melodiessoar, his virtuoso passages blaze, his ornaments decorate butnever interfere with the musk's forward motion. Apple'sapproach rarely tempts the listener to wish for something moreoutgoing -- as subtle and as introspective as his playing sometimes is, there's quite enough dra11Ul in it to 11Ulke his interpretations thoroughly meaningful. "
- St. Louis Globe-Democrat
Since his debut with the Detroit Symphony at an early age,Darwyn Apple has been steadily gaining recognition as asoloist/recitalist in this country and abroad. He has enjoyedmaking numerous radio and television appearances whileplaying engagements all across the continental United Statesand the Virgin Islands. He has had the pleasure ofperformingbefore European audiences in Rome, Florence,and Paris. Allthis in addition to solo appearances he has made with manyAmerican orchestras including New Orleans, Toledo, S1.Louis, and, repeatedly, Detroit.
"...a solid musical experience. Apple showed he has techniqueto spare."
• Cleveland, The Plain Dealer
Apple has had an exciting time putting together his recitalprograms. Says Apple, "I picture a mature musician as aperson akin to a repertory theater actor, one who's able to do
Darwyn Appleany role, and therefore in my programming I try to show awide range of styles."
"Apple performed... with 11Ulrvelous verve and penetratingtone. Ravel's 'Rhapsody On Gypsy Themes' has rarely beenbetter served."
- Philadelphia, The Evening Bulletin
In addition to his performing, Apple has continually beenserving in the role of educator. For almost thirty years, he
has been involved in the educationand support of younger musicians.The former Fulbright scholar hasalso served on the faculties ofseveralinstitutions including PrincipiaCollegeand the University ofMissouriat St. Louis. Most recently, he hasbeen appointed Distinguished VisitingProfessor of Violin at Wayne StateUniversity in Detroit, Michigan.
Darwyn Apple has beendescribed as a virtuosoperformer and a fine speaker.His admiration and dedicationto the violin are unbounded.To hear him play or speak ofthemusic that he so dearly loves is to knowDarwyn Apple.
"I think it's of utmost importance forany performingartist to be accessible to theaudience so there is no feeling ofa ba"ier.This is the beauty of the arts. It transcendsall and can touch everybody. This is what11Ulkes it exciting for me. "

DECLARATION OF PROF. ROBERT J. RAY
I, Robel-t J. Ray, respectfully state as follows.
1. I am a resident of St. Louis, in St. Louis County,
Missouri. I am a native of St. Louis, MissoLll-i, and
returned in 1979.
2. As Associate Professor of Music at the Univel-sity of
MissoUl-i-St. Louis, I sel-ve as instructor of piano and
dil-ector of the Univel-sity Chm-us at University of
Missouri-St. Louis. I pl-eviously pel-formed the duties of
chOl-al dil-ector, piano instructOl- and Professor of African
American Music at Forest F'al-k Community College. My
professional university e}:pel-ience also includes Associate
Professorship, with tenUl-e at the University of IllinDis at
Urbana-Champaign. I have been a choral director for such
institutions as Washington Univel-sity, St. Louis College of
Pharmacy and the St. Louis Symphony. I have served as
accompanist for such great perfm-mers as William Wai-field
and Robert McFen-in, as well as performing as a soloist with
the Seoul Korea Philharmonic and the Champaign-Urbana
Symphony.
3. I am a 1963 graduate of Beaumont High Schoc,l in St.
Louis, MissoLwi. I attended NOl-thwesten1 University in
Evanston, Illinois and gl-aduated in 1968 with a Bachelor of
Music degl-ee. I late1- I-eturned to NOI-thwestern in 1979, and
furthered my education by pursuing a master's degree.
4. I personally know the following pel-sons with classical
music expertise which would allow them to serve in
upper-level management positions at KFUO:
1. Walter Young - Piano Instructm-, Visual andPerfOl-ming Al-tS High School
2. Dwayne Buggs - DirectOl- of Choral Music, NormandySenior High School
3. Eugene Haynes - Al-tist, Teachel-, Concert Pianist4. Delores Greathouse - Director of Choral Music5. El-ic Anthony - Director of Chert-al Music, Hazelwood
East High School6. Gl-egory Gettys - Ministel- of Music, Westside
Baptist ChUl-ch
5. KFUO has blatantly ignol-ed the minohty community, both
in it's programming and in it's hil-ing policies. As a
fl-equent listenel-, I have noticed a conspicuous absence of
minority pl-ogl-amming on the FM station. Numerous quality
wert-ks by Afl-ican-American composers and other minorities are
flagrantly ignored to display often obscure and
uninteresting works by unknown European composers. Works by
composers such as Ollie Wilson, T.J. Andel-sen, Ulysses Kay,
Undine MIK,re and othel- ~..,ell known African-Amel-ican composel-s
are a major part of a vibrant and new repertoire destined to
make music history.
6. The absence of announcel-S and other upper level
administrative personnel is just a fUl-ther example of the
station's insensitivity to the Greater St. Louis minority
community and represents a real embarrassment to the St.
Louis community.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of
the United States of Amel-ica that the foregoing Declaration
is true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.

DECLARATION OF DR. DORIS JONES WILSON
I, Doris Jones Wl1son, respectfully state as follows:
I have l1ved In St. Louis, Mo for fifty 53 years.1 presently reside at 1727
Carolyn Park Drive, in Vinita Park, MO, (St. Louis County) and have done so
since 1967. I am married with two children. Both of whom have a college
education. This household Is very famlliar with radfo statton KFUO. As
a pfano student at an early age KFUO was required lfstenfng for me and has
remained so all of my adult life.
Professionally, I am an Associate Professor of Music at Harris-Stowe
State College, St. Louis, MO, where I also serve as dIrector of the College
Choir - the Concert Chorale. Additionally, my teaching responslbllfttes
Include that of teaching courses In music fundamentals and mus1c
methods. I have also taught courses fn musfc hfstory, music theory, voice
and class plano. I have been on the faCUlty for eighteen years. I have
lIfetime certifIcation to teach music Kindergarten thru grade twelve for
the state of MissourI. For over thfrty years I have served as the Minister of
Mus1c at the Uberty Baptist Church, Span1sh Lake, Mo. In addition, I serve
as a choral clfnlcfan 1n St. Louis and other midwestern clt1es. I also
direct several commun1ty cho~rs. I am on the Board of Directors of the
Legend Sfngers, Gospel Mus1c Workshop Of Amer1ca, St. Louis Chapter, and
a member of the St. LouIs Symphony Outreach Committee. My professfonal
membershIps Include Music Educators Nattonal Conference and The
AmerIcan Choral DIrectors Assocfation.
I am aproduct of the St. Loufs Publfc Schools. I studied pfano wfth
Alleda WArd Wells from age 5 to 18. I earned the Bachelor of Musfc
Education degree from LIncoln Unfverslty, (MO); Master of Arts fn Teaching
and the Doctor of EducatIon Degree wIth amajor In musIc education from
Wash1ngton Un1verslty, St. Lou1s. I have extensIve choral education from
many of the Country's major unlverslt1es, 1ncludlng, Westm1nster Choir
College, Princeton, New Jersey.
My classical music background is extensive. As apiano student I've
stud1ed music of all styles and have performed In numerous recitals and
music contests. My high school years were fl1led with classical music
experiences. I was the plano accompanist for the Sumner High Choir, and
for many students studying classical music. The opera star, Grace Bumbry,
was one of the many students I accompanied. This resulted In my earning a
full scholarship to Lincoln University and the position of plano
accompanist for the University and Concert Choir under Dr. O. Anderson
Fuller. After graduat10n I accepted my f1rst teaching position at Central
High Schoo11n Hayti, MO. I taught music appreciation, general music and
d1rected both the band and choir. I returned to St. Louis to teach In the St.
Louis Publlc Schools and subseQuently to Harris-Stowe State College.
In all of my years of experience, I have met and worked with many
African-American music educators and students who have education,
background, and performance experiences siml1ar to mine. In fact, when I
was working on my Doctorate degree at Washington University, there were
six other Afr1can-Amerlcan students working on the degree. Six out of the
seven completed the degree.. Furthermore, In the St. Lou1s Publlc School
and the St. Louis County system there are music educators who have
stUdied "Classical Music" and are teaching some form of It, whether It be
history, or music appreciation, music theory or some form of
performance. Some of these educators I have taught personally. To name a
few: Marlon Morgan, Dr.Curtls Duncan ,Dello Thedford, Donald Gl1l Robert
Edwards, Noland Jones, Willie Brown, Kem Williams, Dr. John Batchman,
Ml1dred HYlton, Dewayne Buggs, Malcolm Speed, Deborah Shipps, June
Bosley Dabney, Lionel Hopper, Delores Greathouse, Robert Ray.. The List
