Rundgren changes tune
By ALISON GWINN
Todd "H heavy Metal Kid" Drundren is a star. He'll even tell you so. The "Runt's" witchcraft of the word "Drundren" that he thought actions spoke louder than words. He's been one of rock's most prolific and consistently good writers since his debut in the mid-'60s with a band called
Rundegen has come a long way since Nazz, thriving on versatility of talent and sound. He can write anything from a melancholy love ballad like "Hello, it's Me!" to a dazzling dance routine with Metal Kid." He can play anything from keyboard to percussion or guitar.
In contrast to a recent wave of musicians who capitalize on hits of decades gone by,
Review
Rundregen is haunted by fears of musical stagegoers when changes are made this season.
He did away with the funky, full sound of his keyboard players, Ralph Schuckett and Moogy Klingman, and exchanged the powerful drummer Kevin Ellman for a good, but low-quality drummer, Willy Wilcox. Roger Powell, who used to be a bassist and performer on keyboard responsibilities, Powell handled his job adequately Firday night but he couldn't possibly fill the places of two fine musicians like Schuckett and Klingman.
Rundgreen's new stage arrangement was barren compared with the aesthetically chic stage ensemble he blended. The arrangement left Rundgreen more room for his stage dramatics, just as it left no question in the audience's mind about who was the star of the show. Rundgreen had to find a way to dispel disapprobation at the audience and trailing his microphone cord around the stage floor,
while the rest of the band crowded to one side of the stage.
The band opened with the "Ulopha" theme and "Sunset Boulevard," two good rock numbers in the Rundeg tradition that attract the audience's favorable response.
After two moderately interesting, but repetitious new pieces, the band made a vain attempt at an acoustic piece, "Wheel." Rundeng is an electric guitar player and was an enthusiast in music characteristic of his style. Wilko worsened the piece with its ineffective coax play.
Rundgebung recaptured the audience's attention with his hit, "Real Man," one of the few numbers recognizable to those in the audience. He was also for a night of rock, Rundgebung or otherwise.
A strikingly押ed but poor rendition of "Born to Synthesize," which found Rundergen spotlighted an amplifier, led into the campy number, "Eastern Intrigue," which proved to be one of the best of the first half of the program.
The two repetitions numbers that followed were again saved by Rundgren's sense for what the audience wanted to hear—a closing number reprise of "Real
Forsaking his usual second-half costume chance, Todd remained in glittered-black-on-flea and opened with a piano medley of "Hello is Me" and "In," "Hello is Me" and "In My Eyes."
Then the band came on to help him stun the audience with one of the best tunes of the night, "Freedom Fighters." It is a shame that children's songs didn't have this sonic's power.
Next came the only low point of the second half. Bassist John Siegel and drummer Willy Wilcox were featured in a Siegel-written song, "Bass-Bal," which primarily proved that Siegel was just a run-of-the-mill bassist who didn't deserve to be given the job. Siegel and Wilcox a chance to show his stuff, with the aid of a frenzied light show. He's a good drummer and the audience responded to his drum solo with rare spontaneous applause.
Booth raps primary law
State Senate. Arden Booth, R-Lawrence,
explained his efforts to get rid of the
"inequity" in Kansas primary election laws
that were approved by Kansas meeting in
Lake Superior Saturday.
Booth said Saturday that House Bill No. 2503, a proposal prepared by Rep. Michael Gannon, has moved to impose the present five per cent qualification to three per cent of the total votes cast.
A current state laws that candidates for national, state, county and township offices, whose party candidate for secretary of state didn't have at least five per cent of the total vote in the preceding general election, have been told to nomination in a primary election.
Instead of requiring that votes cast be for secretary of state in the preceding election, the new bill will designate the three per cent vote for the gubernatorial race, Booth said.
If there wasn't a gubernatorial race in the preceding election, Booth said, the preceding presidential election will then apply.
This plan would allow a primary candidate to participate in primaries at least every two years, instead of every four years. In the secretary-of-state ruling allows, he said.
Booth said there was no better word than inequity for the present primary laws.

Budget concerns
Bibb increased the iL 15 rate to 1 to 20.
Us pres faculty student ratio is 1 to 20.
The funding of new faculty positions will also be one of the first items presented. KU has requested the positions in order to reach a 1 to 15 ratio of faculty to students, a ratio provided for by the Board of Regent for the College, a ratio of size of KU and Kansas State University.
Dykes said he wasn't very optimistic about getting approval for items in the budget that will be presented after the top priorities.
"However, there'll be a plea made for everything that was cut," he said. "We will use the best arguments we can to get all of them."
Dykes said administrators were putting together the best data and best arguments with respect to each of the budget requests that could be compiled.
"The University budget is a continuing process that never stops," he said. "There's never a time that we stop trying to build an improved argument."
Del Shankel, executive vice chancellor,
said the highest priorities among new
facilities at UNH.

Eilmer C. Jackson, a member of the Board of Regents, said that he understood Bennett's higher education speech to mean that he (Bennett) is in favor of most of KU's students, faculty, legislators and alumni "students, faculty, legislators and alumni" would have to get behind the proposals.
the $29,374 library development program and the $154,069 maintenance and replacement of educational and general equipment program.
Jackson said the Board of Regents priorities had been the 10 per cent merit salary increase for unclassified position holders and the 20 per cent increase for other operating expenses.
Rundergreen's brash "Heavy Metal Kid," a song with a "motel" instrumental dancing in the aisle.
rundren returned for three one-song encores, giving his more eager fan a taste of his best, then making them beg for more. He played his usual encore selections of "Do the One Victory," and then "One Victory," which left the audience feeling glad they stayed until the end.
"the audience My Eyes," which followed, didn't give the audience a chance to sit down. It was one of the older songs in kundengra's collection that wasn't familiar without contempt—a polished, nearly perfect piece. Unfortunately, it didn't end the second set but was followed by a less-enhanced—unexpected run. At 1984, "buren of most audience participation."

The show was technically quite good, with a light show of continually changing, multicolored beams that integrated effectively with the mood of the music.
Rundgren proved to all who came that he was an artist. Unfortunately, he was unable to capture the uncorrupted "Utopia" sound he uncapped the past two years of his music.

Musicum respite from pop fare
While popular concerts of the ilk of Chicago and Todd Rundgren dominate Deliverance, Kansas musical presentations and serenades are also the popularity of the third 'B'—Bach, Beethoven and Brahms—people seeking a change are fortunate to find solace in the music.
