Long Hours,Lots of Work Bring Success to Band
Rv RANDY ATTWOOD
BY BANDAY
They've been together now for over a year, which is a long time for a band in Lawrence. "They change so fast you can't keep track of them," she says. "We're behind the local musicians and around the world."
"The first thing people ask me is if the band is still together," Walt Riker, leader of Thump and the band's names of groups have come and gone read like a litary of forgotten headaches—the BLT, Dawn, the American Mercury—electronic mush in the memory.
"We've reached the point many times in practice where other groups would've said, 'okay, that's it,' and broken up, but we've stayed together because there is a chance that there is really a chance that Thurlow Theatre could lead to what we want," Walt told me.
One night at the Draft House, Sew Langer, the artist, trying to make a guitar for a non-electric guitar, unable to hear through the clinking of bottles and mouths, tried not to be surprised, now, simply stopped and told the crowd. "We're going to play Trump music. If you don't want Trump music, I can't."
"The music Trump Theatre is playing." Walt's brother, Wayne, also from New York, said, "is fantastic," while his mother, Beverly, plays in a New York band called The Polite Confusion. "Most New York bands are very commercial, pop and rock songs doing nothing original."
And they have to travel 500 miles. Trump Theatre had just returned from western Australia for 71 hours; playing for 34 hours, then refused rooms at two hotels before finding a place to sleep—all to make 20 bucks a hour. At Junction City for 16 bucks.
"But," Wall, who on drums told us, "like a little old cobble gone insane, "we now have 2½ hours of original material and by the end we will have a complete program. I think we move to New York state. We think we
In a time when electronic music is still new, when few practitioners of the new tones, and when I reached middle age let alone quit playing to merely sit back and judge, the audiences are far more tolerant than they were when he was glutted by heavy cool music so that the only songs the audiences like are songs they recognize from the jukebox. 1. We can't sing in rock music we can and not sell out to a low bow audience. 90 per cent of rock lyrics are absolutely banal and ridiculous something "intended." Walt
"When the swirling finger from hell arrives, will it point at you?" one of their songs, Tornado, that Walt wrote aplly asks
The music of Thump Theatre is aggressive. Usually starting at an almost orgastic pitch, it rarely diminishes, but actually sometimes a some sort of higher blending made possible only by electricity.
Equipment is heavy, time consuming to move and express feelings. Thump Themp needs would cost $2,000 it's hard to make that at 20 bucks a piece. Much of their work involves playing Craig Linnberger plays lead guitar on a 1952 Gioson Les Paul model. Only 7 of them were brought up by himself and would bring up to $3,000 in England or Europe. Three years ago, Craig, at 16, couldn't tell the difference
between the voices and the guitar, and that opened up all the lyrical possibilities of the guitar. We decided to decide that all I wanted to do was play the guitar. I've never been sorry for it a day of my life.
One song that Craig wrote, "I Were Free," was played by Thump Theatre on a national radio program from New York University. And they were going to Chicago where they have been booked into the Far North. "Kansas, though," Walt said, "is a great place to start something because of the privacy you can get you your thing together."
Greg Gucker is the lead singer while Joe Meador, who plays the base, and Stew Langer join him in a performance background in classical piano he usually finds their harmonies. "Unless it’s real dynamics, it’s all about the music," he practices to find the right sound as seriously as a government think tank determining disposition of music. He's always stopping, resisting, listening and pushing to find the best to be known as Thump Theatre.
Coney Island Oil Slick
NEW YORK (UPI)—An oil slick which resulted in banning of swimming at Coney Island and the University, dispersed Sunday but the New York City Health Department disapproved no swimming in the area.
No one was actually stopped from swimming at the Brooklyn beaches affected by the oil spill, voluntarily heeded the warming.
A spokeswoman for the Coney Island Chamber of Commerce said that of the estimated 150,000 people about 5,000 actually went in the water. On a normal Sunday, the spokeswoman said, approximately 600,000 persons flock to Coney Island to attend 300,000 to 400,000 swimmers.
If a project by the Senior Class is successful, next year's University of Kansas graduates have to leave the state to find job.

Seniors Seek Job Openings
Heading up the project are John A. Schwartz of Dodge City and Janis Busch, 2228 W. 97, Leawood.
The program is two-fold:
academic backgrounds desired for employees. All businesses which respond will be listed in a placement manual, published in conjunction with the Schools of Business and Engineering. The placements available to seniors through University placement offices.
The second phase will be the publishing of a "Who's Who at the Museum" and an articulate articulate will have photographs and short resumes published. This directory will be provided free to all participating Kansas universities.
The Placement Manual identifying Kansas businesses will be published in the mid-1970s. In 1972 '75 is scheduled for mailing to
Kansas businesses in mid October.
The project has the cooperation of the Kansas State Chancellor of Kansas University and the Department of Economic Development, and the Kansas Security Authority.
"First, we wish to provide a service for seniors, and secondly, help the state of Kansas retain its exporting them," Schwartz said.
Missouri corporations appear to employ the largest number of U. graduates, according to School of Law, that is second and Illinois is third.
Seniors will be able to sign up for the program during enrollment, Aug. 25-27.
"The Little Foxes"
Five performances of "The Little Foxes," a drama of a Southern family's rise to wealth, will be the final offering of the University of Kansas Theatre's summer season, July 19-23. Curtain times will be 8:20 p.m.

The drama that follows in the wake of the scheme is one of greed and dishonesty. The brothers plot to eliminate their sister from the profit sharing and allow her husband to die as part of their plot.
The sister discovers their scheme and demands money. She tolles to notice maturity and awareness of her daughter who sees her as a danger to herself.
FUN-FUN-FUN-FUN-FUN-FUN
The title "Little Foxes" refers to the greedy brothers and sister and is taken from the passage in Proverbs, "Catch us the little foxes, the foxes who eat our vines, for our vines have tender grapes."
The play is directed by Lawrence graduate student, Thomas Leigh Dickman, who also plays one of the major characters. Another of the major roles, that of the family patriarch who ate the chicken played by Earl Trussell, a graduate student from Kansas, caught earlier this month received high praise for his role as Touchstone in the KU summer production of "As You Like It."

NEW YORK (UPI)- America's big port cities could solve some of their more pressing issues by adding ports and steamship docks and then their power plants a few miles away. says architect Larry Lemer.

Cities Should Build On Water
That would reduce jet engines noise and diffuse airport traffic. Lerner said such a system also could be applied to junctions to centrally located nuclear power plants, and for the first time, would make it possible for giant supertankers to deliver nuclear fuel to cities as New York and Boston.
Admission: $2.00
Students $1.00 with current certificate of registration
Most of the land on which existing facilities like John F. Kennedy airport and the piers lining the Hudson and East rivers were excavated for recreation or allowed to return to water, Lerner said. "The rest of this valuable real estate would be sold or put to uses that would help pay for the new offshore company Lerner & Schumberger Environment Inc., has just obtained a $400,000 grant from the Federal Aviation

and traffic congestion at Kennedy International Airport.
The firm got the contract mainly on the basis of a plan. Lerner has been working on several years for an airport on the ocean five miles long Long Beach, Long Island, N.Y.
The plan envisages a complex of runways, docks and a terminal building constructed in about 80 feet water and connected to the city subway system. It causes lawsuye. It would contain parking space for more than 200,000 cars, be connected to the city subway systems and be equipped with taxi taxis from all over New York, Connecticut and New Jersey.
"It is designed to handle one million passengers a day by the year 2,000." Lerner said, "but it can be built in stages. Personally, it would take people traveling by air. I favor rehabilitation our railroads to handle all passenger service of 250 miles or less on air cushion trains moved by linear interconnections moving at 280 miles an hour."
Other plans have been proposed for one of the airports, and another for a project for an airport in Lake Monroe or new-made land or a concrete structure.
