If at first you don't succeed, invest more money.
Jacobs, Viscosi and Jacobs is doing just that after the Lawrence-Douglas County Planning Commission dealt a setback to JV's bid to rezone a south Lawrence lot for a shopping mall.
"We've got $300,000 invested in this," Don Jones, IVA vice president for mail development, said. "It gives us a lot of freedom."
Some of JVL's dollars are already paying indirect dividends as two plump marmoset animals in their cages.
THE ENVELOPES contain coupons, clipped from a full-page JVJ advertisement published in the Feb. 22 Lawrence Journal-World. As of March 2, the planning office had received 405 coupons, many with letters and other comments attached; 375 supported, JVJ's promised project.
However, the fruits of the Cleveland developer's efforts won't be known for at least two weeks. A March 18 City Commission hearing date set for JVJ's request is "still tentative" according to assistant city manager Mike Wilden.
Meanwhile, Richard Zinn, JVJ's Lawrence attorney, is preparing to argue his client's case before
KU 1982 budget request tied to Regents budget
By GENE GEORGE Staff Reporter
The University of Kansas won't be helped by the Senate Ways and Means Committee's relaxed attitude toward individual universities' projects, according to the committee chairman.
The chairman, Paul Hess, R-Wichita, said yesterday that KU's requests for a faculty pay raise, an increase in the operating budget and money to cover increased enrollment were tied to the number of Regents system-wide proposed budget. The committee cut those requests deeply last month.
Since the individual request, as proposed by Gov. John Carlin, did not entail the large sum of money that the Regents proposal did, Hess said the committee probably would go easy on the
After committee action this week, the campuses' and Regents budgets will be sent to the full Senate in one bill for debate.

"I suspect that the subcommittee reports certainly will not be higher than the governors recommendation," Hess said. "But don't expect us to be a rubber."

But the LP's masterpiece is "The Jezebel Spirit." An intense dance beat is established. Byrne adds a sharp twist to the music with a synthesizer that swells menacingly. An evil-sounding laugh is heard. Do you hear voices? what sounds like the Rev. Ernest Angely? You do. How can you be on exorcism a demon from a woman, who can be heard hyperventilating with passion. As he reaches an emotional peak, demanding "Out," he turns toward the music. The music peaks in intensity.
The album opens with an evangelist declaiming that "America is waiting for an answer of some son." A Beetlethead claning and Eno's woo-hanging synthesizer frames his speech, as he condemns us for having an unintelligent what? throbbing music in "Mea Culpa mides deep, resonans whispers with me," and made a mistake. The black preacher howling in "Help Me Somebody" is backed by a furious funk beat; it doesn't unlike James Brown in his prime.
The music on the second side is saber, with more of an emphasis on the melody than the rhythm, a typical of that influence; the wailing voices are reminiscent of the Turkish Muslim prayer in Midday Express.

Delbert McClinton Rocks His Way from Honky Tonks to a Hit Record
Delbert's first record, a cover of Sonny Bowe William-Marcovich, precedent in 1960 as the first platter by a white artist to air on Ft. Worth's black radio station. The album was totally lost on the white
After 20 years of hard nights in hikton tonks, after a string of luckless affiliations with 10 different record labels, after five critically acclaimed but seldom heard albums, Delbert McClinton suddenly finds himself in the commercial music mainstream.

McClinton's newsingle.
Record deals in the late '70s produced a succession of albums that pleased critics but also audiences. Airplay and sales. Knockout live shows across the country brought Delbert a loyal cult following, especially among younger formerers. But even an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" proved a short-lived burst of national exposure that paid dividends at the record rack.
It wasn't until McClinton teamed with Muscle Shoals bandmates to establish a dependent label (distributed by Capitol) of the famed studios in Sheffield, Alabama, that he began to happen. Debbie Berry at Muscle Shoals with an all-star roster of session musicians, has a fuller, cleaner sound than anything he's done
"I never could get everything I wanted onto a record," he says. "But I feel like I grew up with these muscle Shoals guys. They have no barriers. We could take it in any direction we wanted to go. I did just watch the songs — find some songs I can put my heart into and sing 'em so they sound to me."

With more than two decades of performing in smoke filled roadhouses throughout rural America, Delbert is arguably the best white southern blues rocker around.
"Giving It Up For Your Love," is rapidly becoming a nationwide wide radio favorite, and sales on his recently released Capitol "The Jealous Kind have been selling it for previous appearances on vinyl.
How do you explain this surprising emergence? People who know music aren’t surprised at all. For years Delbert as an aunt the best white southern blues rocker alive. But many would also allow that McClinton’s uncompromising stylistic commitment to his ‘blackest song’ kept him from success in the mass marketplace.
"I'm not saying that I'm right and the world is wrong" draws Delbert, "but the old stuff just sounds better to me."
Keeping things going hasn't been easy. More than two decades ago, McClinton started singing and playing harmonica on the rawhide from southern texas, between the boozing and brawling, he honed his chops by jamming

Two years later, Delbert's searing harmonica work on Bruce Channel's "Hey Baby" worldwide number one hit. The record's success prompted a club tour of England, where at one of the dates a promising Liverpool open the bill.
"After one of the sets, somebody from the opening act asked me to show him what I was recalling. Delbert recalls. "I showed this guy a few things, but I didn't think anything of it." Within a year the result of our talk could be heard on "Love Me Do." The Beatles' first single, Delbert's impromptu pupil had been John Lennon, and the opening act that an the fideline Fab Four

It's been a long upstream journey for Delbert McClinton, but he finally getting the chance that he and his music deserve.
It's about time
McClinton's first Capitol album, The Jealous Kind, is a current favorite on album-oriented stations across the country, while "Giving It Up For Your Love" has been covered" by Top 40 formats as a powerful new single.
"We'll just wait and see," he said. "I have not seen the subcommittee reports, I don't know if there is any."
Von Ende said he "had a good talk" with KU subcommittee chairman Ronald Hein, R-Topea, last week, but Hein gave no indication which programs the subcommittee supported.
KU asked the governor for $8 million more for a 10 percent faculty salary increase and higher classified pay and $12.5 million more for its education and operating budget.
But Carlin cut both requests before sending them onto the Legislature. The committee in effect reduced the amounts more last month by trimming $3 million from the Regents proposal.
THE COMMITTEE decreased Carlin's proposed 6 percent faculty pay increase to 7 percent and his proposed 6 percent operating budget increase to 5.5 percent.
The committee also voted for a 15 percent increase in tuition for all state universities.
Money to cover increased enrollment this year was eliminated and the committee told universities to manage with what money they had if future increases were minor.
The increase would mean KU students, who now pay about 20 percent of the total cost of their education, would pay around 23 percent next year.
The Haworth Hall expansion would allow the iology department to move from the outdated nd cramped conditions at Snow Hall into more modern facilities.
Two other projects KU wants, but probably not get the governor don't recombine them, are $3.6 million for the Haworth Hall expansion and $300,000 for a feasibility study for

Hartman suggested the halls offer their residents optional food contracts.
