	The Greatest Hits of Arthur P. Barnes
		Band members came from all over the country to join Barnes for the first preseason road trip to the 1970 Stanford-Arkansas football game.

		I think the reason is that many Stanford students find it very difficult to have a one-on-one relationship with a professor, and the Band was a saving grace for some of them." Perhaps the best testimonial came from Mannion, who served as emcee for the evening's entertainment.

		STANFORD -- Stanford University President Gerhard Casper apologized yesterday to Notre Dame University for what he labeled the ``uncivil and improper'' conduct of Stanford's marching band toward Irish culture and the Catholic Church.
		The band's controversial performance and subsequent statements by band members ``indicate an ignorance of Irish history and indifference to human suffering in that country,'' he said.
		The Stanford band has been banned from the South Bend campus since a 1991 performance there ``mocked members of the Catholic faith.'' At the time, the band's drum major donned a nun's habit and banged a drum with a cross.
