Alley paving topic on city agenda
Beer drinking and alley paving may draw aroused residents to the Lawrence City Commission meeting tonight to resolve disputes liner from past weeks.
One issue concerns assessments for paving the alley between 17th and 18th streets from Ohio to Louisiana streets. Apartments and single-family residences have access to the dirt alley, and the $15,000 per square foot land is divided equally among all housing units.
Bonnie deNoyelles, 1732 Louisiana St., said yesterday she and at least six other residents whose homes abide the alley were
ask for redistribution of the assessment at tonight's meeting.
The assessments were set at $625 per 50-foot lot.
DeNovelles wrote to the commission complaining that 20 percent of the residents along the alley had not been notified of the incident, which were requested by apartment owners.
SHE SAID many residents thought the assessment "should be divided unequally because we have unequal access to the alley."
In a second issue, Jef Morrow, co-owner of the Hawk's Crossing at 12th and 10rd streets, will ask the commission to direct the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Department to prepare a solution to the problems that have plagued his restaurant-tavern recently.
The Crossing has been the scene of administrative wrangles because of drinking outside the building.
WITH THE planning commission's help, Morrow said yesterday, he would develop an plan to enlarge the building's front porch and screen it with trees and shrubs.
He will then ask the commission to define the porch as part of his place of business, he said, so it would conform with a city ordinance restricting public drinking.
Morrow said his desire to enlarge the porch and to build a beer garden and bakery would require him to have the Crossing zoned commercial.
Because the building has been used by KU students since the early part of the century, there are several other immaterial island in a residential zone. But changes in the building would require
Dizzy's rehearsal takes audience for spin

Chaise regained in the band room of the building, but she was still scramble in and out. It isn't every day that Dizzy Gillespie is in town to rehearsal, and the extra electricity in the room was easily provided.
There was no mistaking the figure whose music—bebop—had been the subject of countless articles.
Gillespie stood away from everyone else, blowing notes on his famous deformed trumpet. As he paced, he revealed the pulsed that puffed out a like bulb taking a breath.
Gillespie and the band were preparing yesterday for their concert tonight in Hoch Auditorium. Ron McCurdy, the ensemble's director, gave instructions about the songs, competing with Gillespie's warming up. The band came out for "Bob'," a tune Gillespie wrote.
At a breakneck speed, the saxophone
section played the melody in unsun-
bleed. The saxophonist was caught,
when no one played, he abruptly began a
break, and the instrument stopped as
suddenly as had begin the.
saxes picked up the melody again, but in the middle. Gillespie cut the band off.
HE FOUND that the rhythm was not as it was written.
"The intro gets a little rushy at times," he said, singing the rhythm of the phrase. "Is that what you all have?"
'Oh no, no, no,' he said. The room full of people broke out in laughter. He walked to the sax section and wrote the way the rhythm was supposed to go.
"Play it for me now," he said.
This time the rhythm was right, and Gillespie grinned. It may be a small difference, but it was an important one.
"That other way, I don't know how it got there," he said.
The group moved to the second tune, called "Dizzyland," written with Gillespie in mind.
"I don't want to play too long," he said. "Maybe a chorus and a half."
The song started, and when it was his turn to solo, Gillespie paced. He was barely heard above the band. Suddenly, he stopped and motioned to the band to quit.
"The rhythm section doesn't sound tight enough." he said. "When you come in, come
in like thunder . . . and go out like lightning."
HE MOTIONED for the drummer to use a different cymbal, that would sound louder. Again, it was a small but important difference. Gillespie approved.
"Yeah. yeah. yeah." he said.
After the first run-through of the song, Gillespa started talking about upbeat and downbeat, the minute accents that got to the heart. He kissed his hands lightly, he demonstrated the differences between the two. Getting the best exactity right, he said, can make a difference.
"You need all of your facilities," he said.
"You're like a computer when you play."
THE BAND went through the song a last time. The tiny spark that kicked everything off was the one they clicked. Gillespie took his solo once again, and then watched the other members of the band sing.
Then, out of nowhere, Gillespie leapt into a stunning rapid-fire combination of notes over the top of the band.
Those few notes summed up the joyous celebration that was jazz—and Dizzy Gillespie.

members who have not received adequate training during the last ten years," Lee said.
"Between last year and this year there have been more consumer goods becoming available in department stores and shops,"
Lee has been to China three times. He said that signs of change are everywhere. His first trip to China was in 1956 with a group of students from the University of Georgia and Governor Carrion of China delegation.
Lee said. "There's been more domestic products."
LEE SAID that in China in 1976 there was "a more strict kind of situation."
"It was rather repressive," he said. "We had to watch advertisements on television. They watch television only from about 6:30 p.m. until about 9:30 o'clock. It is a major form of television."
With the signing of the agreements, KU
tuitions the University of California at
Berkeley, Stanford, Wisconsin, Columbia,
Minnesota, and Michigan as universities that have made ties with China.
"There are very few universities that have signed agreements with more than one Chinese university, Christofersen said. "We feel that by establishing contact at an early stage we can play what we hope is a role in boosting American relations and opportunities for American students and Chinese students as well."

'Improvements' cause KU custodian complaints
By GREG SACKUVICH Staff Renorter
Recent complaints by KU custodians understand about attempts to improve housekeeping department, Dick Bivens, head of the housekeeping department.
"Our function is to do the job we are intended to do and serve the University in the best way possible. We want people to do their jobs and we will be fair," he
Some custodians have complained of a shortage of cleaning supplies, changed the cleaning policies and strict supervision. Irving VanDuyne, chairman of the Custodians' Action Group, said:
Bivens answered these complaints by saying that he has only been on the job since Feb. 4 and hasn't had time to adjust to all the housekeeping problems.
The problem of a shortage of cleaning supplies occurred because supplies were allowed to run low by American

Dizzy Gillespie, the man with the tilted trumpet, the swooning sounds and the bubbled cheeks, said yesterday that he may have had to do more work there, is he does have a way with words.
"How can you judge the best when you have not seen the best," he questioned in a gravely voice. "I may not be the best man, or woman, and I can match bumble with anybody else."
For more than 50 years, Gillespie has been trumpeting the jazz sound and innoticing the musicians who Cherway, S.C. said that jazz was the music of black culture born from African American history.
GILLESPIE VISITED Cuba in 1977. He said it was time that he made the visit because he had identified with Cuban music for so long.
Jazz was also evolutionary and progressive; more than that, it was a mixture of everything, Gillespie said.
"I left in a sea of Cubans."
"When we docked in Havana, everybody in that boat had apprehensions but me," he said.
The trip was rewarding, too.
John Birk's Gillespie's music has Cuban spice because of its similarity to African music, he said.
Dizzy, well-known for his "bobop," which he said is still present in what modern of music he plays, said he would like to play more arrangements with symphonies.
He said. "That's to let them know there is something else besides 180 music.

Bivens said that he would try to ease the tensions by meeting with the custodians and supervisors before May 1. If funds are approved by the Kansas State University, the number of custodians and supervisors will be increased next fall, he said.

Management Services, who ran the district's successful disaster briefs.
The new hours allow more supervision and make it easier to hire more custodians. There have been no more complaints since the change, he said.
- townhouses
Another complaint was that pressure by the supervisors to keep their work areas cleaner had created job tension.
Bivens said the change was initiated after he had received complaints of dirty areas by building users.
Management Services, who ran the department until last December, he said. The supply problem is now improving and should be solved by the summer, he said.

Another complaint from custodians was that some of their working hours were changed from 10 p.m.7 a.m. to 5 p.m.2 a.m., VanDurne said.

groover. We can go along with them, they can't go along with us."
Grooving, that style of "blowing an audience away", as a reviewer once wrote, was something Gillespie said he received from saxophonist Charlie Parker.
"Charlie Parker was my main inspiration. He was the architect of my style," he said.
That style did not have the mass appeal of artists such as Michael Jackson or the Commodores, Gillespie said. However, some jazz artists, for instance, George Benson and Chuck Mangani, he said, have made a difference between mass appeal and a smaller following.
"I'll be a great humanitarian. A legacy of oneness, onness of mankind," he said.
Instead of millions, Gillespie said he sought something more lasting.
GILLESPIE SAID his music was a part of the American culture, but not a multimillion-dollar success story.
"It would surprise me dearly. I'd be happy to sell half a million," he said.
Jazz. What would Dizzy be without it? At age two and a half he was playing simple notes on the piano. At 13 he won a music award at Lairenburg Institute in Laurentburg, N.C.
Gillespie said that as he grew older, it got harder to keep ahead of lazz.
"You never catch up to yourself," he said.
"You learn everyday. And you say, why didn't I do that 50 years ago?"
