Broken contracts, lack of funds cloud Festival of the Arts future
The problems of organizing a successful Festival of the Arts at the University of Kansas have made it necessary for SUA to organize future festivals changing or discontinuing future festivals.
Plans for this year's festival, scheduled for April 5-10, have been canned, and a director for the festival wasn't included on the 1978-77 SU Board.
"The festival is a question that is still very much up in the air." Mike Miller, SUA president.
He said the board would decide whether a
week-long festival was still successful at KU.
EVEN THOUGH LAST year's festival was canceled, SUA this year allocated a portion of its program to wide range of tastes. The American Chamber Ballet, George Plimpton, a group from the Chicago Chamber Orchestra, and Hancock had been scheduled to perform.
But following cancellations from Hancock and Hampton in mid-February, SUA decided to cancel the festival. The short program would allow an obtain replacements for those two acts.
According to Miller, SA was told by Hampton's agent that Hampton wouldn't perform and that a contract had never been signed.
A contract had been signed by Hancock, however, and SUA has filed claim to be involved.
The orchestra group, Plimpton and the ballet company still are scheduled to perform at the event.
TICKETS ARE available in the SUA office for the performances.
The chamber orchestra will present a program of wind, brass and string instruments at 8 p.m. April 4. The group, composed of 18 to 20 members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, will be conducted by Dieter Rober.
Plimpton will speak on "The Amateur vs. the Pro," based on his experiences in assuming the roles of various professionals, at 8 p.m. April 5.
The ballet performance will be at 8 p.m.
April 7.
The Festival of the Arts originated in 1967 as a week-long series of films, lectures and concerts designed to expose students to a wide variety of art forms and performers.
IN THE PAST nine years, the festival has presented performers such as Ella Fitzgerald, Lou Rawls, the Dave Brubeck jazz trio, David Steinberg, B. B. King, Gordon Lightfoot, Herbie Mann and the Pointer Sisters.
But a lack of funds and the problem of dealing with broken contracts has made it
Fla. fight charges denied
Charges made in Ft. Lauderdale, FL., Friday against two KU students were denied yesterday by the students and a witness.
Craig Hake, Lawrence sophomore, and Cole Geyer, Deerfield, III., sophomore, will be arraigned March 26 on charges stemming from a police attack with a police security officer at a motel.
Donna George, Overland Park junior, who said she was present during the incident, backed up the pair's denial. She said that Hakee, charged with interference with a police officer, and assault and battery on a police officer, misdemeans, never touched the officer.
She said Geyer, charged with trespassing, a misdemeanor, and resisting arrest with violence, a felony, only acted defensively after the officer threw him to the ground, hit him with a flashlight, choked him and kicked him.
Police said the officer was treated and back on duty the next day.
Hakee and Geyer said they were with George on the balcony of the motel when the officer told them he was clearing the area. They said they moved to the pool area.
Later, the officer told them to leave the
pool area, they said, which Haake did. Geyer told the officer he was going to walk George to her motel room, and the officer went over even seen the FI. Lauderdale jail?"
Geyer said he decided to leave the motel right away, but George said the officer then threw him down and started him. Haake said he then came back to the pool area and yelled at the officer to leave Geyer alone.
The associated press reported that police said more than 100 onlookers chanted, "Kill the pig." The three students, however, said there were 20 to 25 onlookers on the balcony, some of whom yelled at the officer to leave Gever alone.
George said eight persons who saw parts of the incident had signed affidavits backing their claims.
Hakee said that he didn't think the charges would hold up, but that the affair had cost much money. Geyer had to post $1,650 bail and Hakee posted $600. They will lose 10 per cent of those amounts even if they appear for arraignment and trial.
increasingly difficult for SUA to schedule popular entertainers and lecturers to apply.
Hake said be and Geyer would "try to clear their names" and be acquitted of the charges against them before considering taking any action against the officer.
Originally, the festival was intended to be financially self-supporting. But a decreasing budget and the increasing cost of guest appearances have caused the festival to lose money in all but two of its nine years.

Spring blooms in spite of frost
Despite unreasonably cold weather at the beginning of March, spring will appear as warm and dry.
Gene Blittch, supervisor of grounds, said yesterday that although many of the early blooms had been knocked off the trees by cold weather and frost, the trees and flowers on campus would be in full bloom for spring.
"Spring in February is a little too early," said Bilch. "When the freeze came in early March, most of the magnolia trees on campus lost all their blooms."
Because of the warm weather and favorable growing conditions in late
Although many area trees were weighted down with ice from the freeze, Bilch said the ice caused no particular damage to the trees unless actual breakage occurred.
February, most trees bloomed early this year.
"WHY DO THE HEATHEN RAGE?"
Psalms 2 and Acts 4:25
Beware of walking to worship with ulterior motives, any other than repentance towards God, and faith towards The Lord Jesus Christ! Beware of "making an offering of strange fires." Remember Nadab and Abhi!
In Erkeln 44:24 God says: "And in controversy they shall stand in my judgments; and they shall judge it according to my judgments, and they will not leave the place where I am. And you shall have to hold me half my sabbaths." Those interested are invited to consider some of God's judgments regarding worship, as there is considerable controversy
4. 1:21-24: “[ Jesus saith unto her, Women, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall not in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship The Father. Ye worship ye know not what — but the hour cometh and is now, when the true worshippers shall worship The Father.” The Father seeketh to worship Him. GOD IS A SPIRIT, AND THEY WORKHIP HIM MUST WORKHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.”
King Uziah was one of Judah's greatest kings. He reigned fifty-two years. He sought to obey and please God and was greatly blessed, together with his people and nation. There was great prosperity, much wealth, abundance of property, military science, inventions and fortifications. He had a great and
“Keep thy foot when thou goest to The House of God.” lest you test the sacrifice of fools. Ecclesiastes 5:1.
This question is the opening words of The Second Palm of the Stone, God Almighty's Book and revelation of Himself to man. "A heathen is one who does not believe in The God of the Bible." They rage in order to rid id of His Moral Law, judgments of His Commandments.
Nabad and Abhu were invited to make a command appearance before The King of Kings, Lord of Lords, even Almighty God. So with Aaron their father and Moses and seventy of the Elders of Israel they went into the Temple to worship. After this marvelous and super-natural experience they went into the Tabcadem one day to worship. They made an offering that was unacceptable to God — an offering of “Strange Fire!” The fire of God leaped on them and burnt both to the death. The outcome of their worship on that occasion was known to all, Reading about it in exodus 24, verse 19, 3 and in Leviticus 10:1-3.
There was a man named Cain. He came to worship God and brought an offering, God did not want what he brought and would not accept it, Cain got mad, Cain killed his brother Abel. The final outcome of Cain's worship was a curse and not a blessing - Genesis 4:1-12.
King David, the man after God's heart, in moving the Ark of God had a new cart made and hitched ox to it. God had commanded that it should be moved only on the shoulders of the priests and Levites. The oxen stumbled! An attendant named Uzza caught hold of it. God struck him dead 1st Chronicles, 3th chapter. No doubt the intentions of both were clear: he wanted assurance of that which was sacred brought a curse instead of a blessing).
Moved me God at the "Burning Bush." God said: Put off thy shoes from feet, for the land that thou stands is holy: "Exodus 10:34. For I will pass through you like a sheep; what sait my Lord unto his servant?" The reply was: "I loose thy shoe from thy foot, for the place where thou standst is holy:" Joshua 5:13-17.
Read Acts 5:11-11 and learn of another judgment of God upon a man and his wife who tried to enter the Church with ulterior motives, rather than following the direct instruction of Jesus — both of them struck dead for "flying to the Holy Ghost" and tempting The Spirit of the Lord."*10 Peter said it was because Satan had filled their hearts.
powerful army that put down all their enemies. His name spread far abroad over the then known world. He was respected and feared. He went into the Temple one day to worship. He forgot his place and undertook to worship in his own way, though warned and withstood by the priests. God struck him there in his act of worship, as he had done before him. He went on to where his body rooted until life left it! 2nd Chronicle chapter, 28.
The only record we have of Christ striking any one physically when on the earth in the flesh was those whom He lashed with a wiph of cords and drove out of God's House for profaning and misusing the sacred place. John 2:14-17.
