Gang
From page 1
They hide behind trees and bushes and wait until the enemy finds them, then they try to "kill" each other. An LSD soldier dies when a nearby foe shouts, "You're dead."
Each team had about 15 minutes to plan its strategy and hide before the other team, sitting around a fire with a keg of beer, went in after them.
"Even though you know you're not going get it, you still don't want to be able," Weinstein said.
Much work goes into the preparation of the war games. The men dress up, amear make-up on their faces as a camouflage, put on a show in the arena at hinc and play for an entire afternoon.
THEY WERE DRESED in old army attire either bought from an army surplus store or put together from whatever they could find. Some of them were made of denim, shirts and pants and canteens filled with beer.
Before starting the games, the soldiers were inspected by their leaders, then standing at attention, saluting to an imaginary flag, they sang "The Star-Spangled Banner."
The gang's other rituals include a bianlian grain party, where grain alcohol is served, a bianlian cheese party, and a bianlian beer party.
Last year they held the "winter Olympics" behind McColum Hall, where the contestants participated in different trailing events.
WITH THEIR USUAL flair for attracting attention, some members of the gang were drilling for the games in costume Friday night, when they were approached by a KU police officer.
"What the hell are you doing?" he asked. They explained and he told them he would alert the rest of the force. After that other police officers checked them out.
The idea of the war games was formed when a couple of the members were discussing war games. The idea of the war games was formed when a couple of the members were discussing war games.
reinsted. There are no official rules so if one strategy doesn't work they simply change the game a little. That was necessary Saturday when a man remained hidden for an hour and a half.
MEMBERS OF THE gang are often easy to spot off the battlefield because they wear T-shirts with the LSD ensignia on the front and their nicknames on the back. One member is called "Spud" because he eats a lot of potatoes, another is called "Mamnequin Man" because he usually keeps a straight face, devoid of expression.
"The main goal was to have big parties," Weinstein said. "It was just an excuse to have a party."
However, those good times may be fewer next year because the gang members will probably go their separate ways unless they can get a whole wing in McColm again, which doesn't seem likely. But, the LSD traditions will undoubtedly live on.

ANDREWS FIRST BECAME interested in opera when he was 14 years old, living in a building with a balcony.
Andrews
The album was a selection of songs from the opera "Aida" by Verdi.
"I still have the album, and it is still my favorite opera," Andrews said. "I listened to the album over and over, it had such dramatic intensity."
"It was my birthday, and I'd found out that my parents weren't going to make it into town to see me," Andrews said. "I was upset about it, of course, and a very kind lady who worked at the boarding house gave me an album to cheer me up."
WHILE OTHER BOYS were playing The Doors or Books at albums, Andrews was listening to Mozart, Donizetti and Rossini. His favorite musicians, were Jussi Bierling and Roberta Peters.
*All the performers I like have left have felt the shake has shaken their hand badly. *Voles like clinging cinnamon.*
Andrews graduated from the University of Kansas in 1978, with a degree in music and voice.
"I think that I am worthy of being paid for my talent, I reflect a great deal of good training," Andrews said. "I just have to learn to have patience and not to get discouraged.
"Sometimes I wonder if all the waiting is worth it, but in the end, I realize that music is my one great romance, something that has never let me down. It was a beautiful,ulous, and I don't regret the time I've put into it."
Two old women entered the room, carrying covered dishes. They smiled a greeting to Andrews, who would play, perhaps, "Danny Boy" or "Art" for them tonight at their potluck dinner.
"All the non-opera performances I make, they just help me improve my art," Andrews said, as he gathered his sheet music. "All I have to do is be patient and wait. I can wait."
Protesters sav KU sanctions sodomv
By KIRK TINDALL Staff Reporter
A banner reading "Why does KU sanction sodomy" greeted the 500 people attending Saturday's Gay and Lesbian Services Valentine's Day dance at the Kansas Union.
The banner was hung over the east entrance of the Union as 20 people carrying signs that said "Constitutional rights yes, lawlessness no," walked out front.
According to Doug Lamborn, a Lawrence resident and a former KU student, the protest was staged to put homosexuality "in the proper perspective."
lifestyle. We want KU to stop sanctioning events that are accompanied by criminal behavior."
IN A PREPARED news release Lamborn said, "We are concerned because the KU administration and the Student Union are sane and fund-raising and social homosexual events.
"Kansas legal statutes specifically condemn sodomy, an integral part of the homosexual
Lamborn said that the group would contact KU officials to determine whether there was any way to prevent such activities from being held at KU.
Irm Franz, Director of Gay and Lesbian protesters would not have any effect on attendance.
"We have people coming in from far as away at St. Louis," he said. "I don't think a few signs will keep them out of the building. I don't care if there are as long as they don't harass our group."
"There wasn't any sodomy going on at the dance," she said. "You would have to follow someone home and peek in their window to know that kind of thing."
KIM GILBERT, a former Director of Gay and Lesbian Services, said she thought the protesters were being silly.
Chuck Miller, a Lawrence resident, said that he was unhappy with the University for allowing the dance to be held in a building paid for with public funds.
"I'm not a student," Miller said, "but I have a daughter in school here. I wanted the legislators to know I don't like this sort of thing."
RANDY MAKIN, a graduate student in
theology, opposed the dance
because of his Christian belief.
Miller and other protesters said that they were Christians and that homosexuality was against "the Judeo-Christian tradition."
But Gilbert said she was also a Christian and that she did not understand the protestors point of view.
"The Christian religion teaches us not to judge other people," she said.
Gilbert also said that gay services was not just for gays and that other people had attended the dance.
Students elected to BALSA board
By EDDIE WILLIAMS III Staff Reporter
When the election ended Saturday at the Black American Law Study Association Rocky Mountain Regional Convention, four KU students won positions on the five-man team.
The KU winners are Lewis Cunningham, chairman; Kimberly Foster, secretary; Richard White, treasurer; and Paul Jackson, director of community service.
The board will represent the 13-state region at the national convention, according to Joe Johnson, regional chairman and Topeka attorney specializing in sports.
Foster, president of KU's BALSA chapter, said the members' membership was growing. There are 3000 members.
"I think because of the conservative wave in the country, blacks are getting more active in the job market," she said.
"Even law schools are basically conservative. Traditional institutions and KU are not much more liberal."
The major problem for minorities in law school, Poster said, is the lack of adequate pre-licensing training.
"Many law students have a legacy of lawyers in their families. They're familiar with many terms—plus they come from better schools. This is not for blacks."
The convention was designed to entice minorities into the field of law, Johnston said. Several lawyers were featured in workshops and problems minority lawyers experience.
The BALSA students plan to closely watch the activities of the Ku Klux Klan in a Watch Watch
They also intend to recruit more minority faculty members in law schools and to do more work with students.
The group decided to go on record as objectors to President Reagan's budgetary proposals.
"The group is politically active. We oppose the cuts in the CETA (Comprehensive Education and Training Act) funding and his cut in the food supply, which both affect a great deal," Johnson said.
