Group to jazz up Union
Dance lessons also were offered at last year's dance, which attracted about 150 people, Woodman said.
Tickets for the show, are $3 for a single
and $5 for a couple. They are available at the
showing location.
Tonight the Wolverine's will be doing what they are known for best—creating the sounds of '20s and '30s jazz musicians, such as Charlie Johnson, Cab Calloway, Fletcher Henderson, Paul Whitman and others.
ALTHOUGH the musicians sometimes play from published sheet music, they rely mostly on their own transcriptions of instruments and solos from old recordings.
The Wolverines is a group of 12 musicians who specialize in the music of a period in the evolution of jazz known as *Jie Hott*. Hot jizz blends the *Swain* trombone and Woody Hermann and the Rattime tapes of entertainers like Rudy Vallée.
The group consists of eight horns, a bass, a tango, and a vocalist—all elemental.
MARK WOODMAN, SUA special events chairman, said yesterday that the success of last spring's dance featuring the KU band was prompted him to hire the Wolverines.
Even Wolverines was the name of a band in the early '20s, when jazz musicians began to play.

Jail showers fail to meet rules
Showers in the county jail do not meet state regulations, but Douglas County officials say they are doing so.

one show, which is sponsored by SUA,
will begin at 8:45 p.m. at the Union
Ballroom. William Lenoir, instructor in
physical education, will give lessons in
dances of the era in the Ballroom for an
hour before the performance.
The commissioners said yesterday that they had hired a contractor more than a year ago to make the showers comply with regulations.
However, the showers in the courthouse now have both hot and cold water.
Commissioners contended that they had bred Hustable and Associates, Inc., 345 N. Third St., Chicago, IL 60618.
The state requires that all water in the jail's sinks and showers be no more than 110 degrees. The regulation was made, Dallas Murphy, undersherif, said, to reduce the chance of someone's being burned by excessively hot water. A single thermostat, to be set by the deputies, would control the water temperature for all showers.
The minutes from the commission's Jan. 19, 1977, meeting, state that the commission approved a Huxtable proposal to change 10 of the 12 showers in the cell block for $1,015.
Bob Nes, commissioner, agreed. "It should have been done," he said.
PETE. WHITENIGHT, commission chairman, said, "It was done at considerable expense about eight or 10 months ago."
Richard L. Olson, a spokesman for Huxtable, said that although the company had fixed the sinks, it had not been instructed to fix the showers.
The commission asked for the suggestions about how to fix the showers, he said, and suggested that they be replaced.
B. A. HUXTABLE, the company's owner, agreed with Olson.
"We have letters to back up everything he said. We gave them proposals, but none were approved," he said.
Whitenight later said he was not sure whether fixing the showers was part of his job.
The commissioners will investigate the matter at a meeting at 3:30 p.m. Monday in room 154 of the Library Building.

Agency owner charged with fraud, battery
By LUCY SMITH Staff Writer
University of Kansas students who lost money on a fraudulent trip to the Bahamas over spring break in 1974 may be able to get their money back.
Curt Schneider, Kansas attorney general,
announced yesterday that his office had filed suit in U.S. district court in Topeka against Ray Robinson, 42, Honolulu,
onetime owner of Air Jayhawk Tours,
Lawrence.
The suit said that Robinson be directed to pay a total of $12,000 to 100 KU students allegedly bilked by the travel plan and that he be assessed a civil penalty of $2,000 for each alleged violation of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act.
It is alleged that Robinson, acting as owner and operator of Air Jayhawk, accepted down payments of $100 to $120 from KU students for a trip to the Bahamas that
Robinson allegedly said that professional travel planning would be provided to participants and that he was owned a Douglas DC8 airplane, which was to be used for the flight.
Robinson left Lawrence before the flight was to happen and his whereabouts were unknown until he was arrested in Oakland, Calif. in January for a municipal violation.
He will be tried in Douglas County Court March 8 on two battery charges, three counts of theft by deception and an insufficient funds check charge.
Robinson had been charged with battery in 1974 when he allegedly shoved a woman and threatened to push a man out of a window when they visited Robinson's business and requested refunds on plane tickets that he had bought for the Bahrain trips.
Robinson pleaded not guilty of the battery charges, but failed to appear for a trial April 14.
The Kansas attorney general's office then filed suit against Robinson and Air Jayhawk, alleging that Robinson had engaged in false advertising, was not properly certified, had falsely represented stewardess and had been issued to grant promised refunds and had promised to conduct a lottery among Air Jayhawk tour members.
