KU Mulls over Well-Rated Concert
By TIM BRADLEY
Kunshan Reviewer
Bouncing on stage bedecked in his best bib and tucker, Martin Mull sat down in his seedy armeniain and began a set that followed warped through wigs, wires and whimsy.
His portable living room boasted a whole Multi-titude of gimmicks, from a honeymore slide show like the kind the neighbors show after their vacation to an electric fireplace
to a shopping bag full of party hats, stick-on
mats and accessories, or gift wrap for rapping
with the band.
The songs ranged from "Eggs," featuring Martin on harmony hen; to "Ukulele Blues," the saga of a middle class blues singer named Blind Lemon Pledge; to "The Nothing," a new dance craze for lethargic party-goers.
tumultuous ovation, came back and did three more songs, and proved once and for all that Martin Mull is to rock what Victor Borge was to the chicken salad set.
Mull's puffy humor is the kind that brings on goats or well as grills. Behind his semantic sojourns are touching tales of the small pleasures of life, the pitter pattern of lft feits. A kind of gentle cynicism seems to surface in Hirschfeld and Seydel. Sein and his pokes at the musical and cultural attitudes of the day. At his own urping, Mull was given a
review
Bonnie Raitt showed off her newly acquired 1956 Gibson hollow-body guitar that she'd be playing for blues number. From there, she changed from blue saxes to tomlin for blues.
She was at once at home in ill-filled Hoch Auditorium and conveyed an electric sense of openness and warmth that is rare between a performer and an audience. It was the same feeling one would get had she play in the kitchen for a few good friends.
Though a chest cold made her back, her music could not be faulted. When she sings, everything except her voice just fades into the background as the listener becomes a

Elective Chairman Proposed to StudEx
At the close of set, Martin Mull came
for a first-time-ever jam and they did
"Karaoke."
Her sparkling guitar work gave me a case of the slack-jawed feebles, and with Freo reefing faithfully along on bass, Dennis Whitted on drums, and David Maxwell on piano, Bonnie played and sang in his own chords. The audience favorites were "You Got to Know How," "Under the Falling Sky" and "Guilty."
A bill and a petition introduced to the Student Senate Executive committee last night would make the position of StudEx chairman elective by the senate and would make the StudEx chairman preside at senate meetings.
The StudentX chairman is currently appointed by the president of the student body.
The bill and petition will be considered by the student rights, responsibilities and privileges committee and will be voted on at the senate meeting Thursday.
Also introduced at StudEx was a bill to place two questions of priority before the
student body in the election Feb. 13 and 14.
If the bill passes the senate, students will be asked to rate their priorities on questions about political affairs and internal senate affairs. They would also be asked whether they favored the senate's funding of an LA&S course, Feedback, a student organization or another university would refuse to fund these things.

Answer to Last Wednesday's Riddle
What Should Mr. Two-Timer Do When the Axe Falls?
When the great confrontation comes, simply give Ann and Trudy, individually of course, the same story: "Now I can tell you. It was all part of my fraternity initiation. The boys dared me to write you addressing you by another name to make you think I was unfaithful. But stunt or no stunt, I meant every word I wrote—and you know I meant it for you alone."
She'll give you that boys-will-be-boys laugh and all will be forgiven.
