Wells on the vibraphone, two undergraduate music students earn course credit by playing guitar and piano for the group.
Alicia Gibbs, associate professor of music education, formed the group in 1978, when several senior citizens taking private lessons were joined by friends who were more experienced musicians. With Gibbs help, they formed the Senior Musicians.
Gibbons said she wanted the members of the group "to play quality music and to focus on the preservation of their dignity." Other singing groups featuring old people often played a large part in the publicly acts, she said. She said she wanted the Senior Musicians to be more professional.
Miller said the group performed a wide range of music. This semester, she said, they would play gospel and jazz for the first time. The group now is working on "Thanks for the Memories," and a gospel song titled, "Everytime I Feel the Spirit."
Last semester, Senior Musicians performed at the Samaritan Lodge nursing home, 205 N. Michigan St., and at a Christmas concert at the Council on Aineing.
This May, Miller said, the group may perform in Lawrence at the Governor's Conference on Aging. The group has performed at the conference for two years. Wells said age was no deterrent to achievement.
"The group proves to myself that anyone at my age can take something up and succeed at it," she said.
GOP leaders give pledge to stop tax increase
By United Press International
TOPEKA - In a forum before a partisan GOP crowd, Republican legislative leader Saturday pledged they would reject John Carin's proposed sales tax increase.
The Democratic governor's proposal to raise the sales tax a half-cent was a major topic of a legislative forum in conjunction with Republican Party's Kansas Day activities.
On the panel were the top four legislative leaders, House Speaker Mike Hayden, R-Atwood; Senate President Bob Coleman, Houston; Pola, and the House and Senate member leaders, Rep. James Braden, R-Clay Center, and Sen. Paul Burke, R-Leawed
HAYDEN, THE MOST outspoken of the
group, said the Legislature would hold down spending to pass a budget with no tax increase that keeps the state fiscally sound. The speaker said the budget would leave the state with ending balances in the general fund of between $80 million and $100 million for the coming two fiscal years.
Hayden said the four GOP leaders have been involved in state government at least as long as Carlin and are just as concerned about the state's fiscal condition.
"We all know it's an ongoing process." Hayden said. "We don't live from hand to mouth, and we won't live from hand to mouth."
Braden, former chairman of the House's tax committee, said Carlin submitted a budget with a 9.2 percent spending increase that cannot be financed without raising taxes. He said the half-cent sales
tax plan would raise about $96 million the first year.
THE MAJORITY leader said the Legislature could adopt a 5 percent increase in state spending and still not have to raise taxes.
"I'll tell you who will get the blame," Braden said. "It will be the 'Republican-controlled Legislature.'"
Braden accused Carlin of proposing items for various special interest groups who would bring pressure on lawmakers to pass a tax increase to finance them. He added that he knew politician who knows he will not be blamed for his tax increase in the future.
Talkington said public support is needed if the GOP is to achieve a goal of getting through the session without a tax increase. He said the people must let their lawmakers know they do not want a tax
increase, to offset pressure for increased spending.
Burke, former head of the Senate tax committee, said more than half of Carlin's legislative message was devoted to education, which Carlin has said would be a major beneficiary of his tax hike. Burke said one of the most popular reasons for raising taxes is to promise it is for education.
Hayden said four years ago the Democratic governor touted the severance tax as a great economic plan.
"He said we'll give teachers raises, fix the highways and everything will be reused."
The speaker said Carlin promised oil would sell for $57 per barrel and the price now is "27 bucks."
"If he was an economist, we would have fired him," Haven said.

25-year history of the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park that a police officer has been killed in the line of duty, Cohen said. Rose, a two-year veteran of the Police Department, moved to Overland Park from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department to be closer to her family in the Topeka area, said Overland Park Police Chief Myron Scafe. She was
heriff's deputy in San Diego County from 1981 to 1982.
This is difficult to accept and understand because it can mean such ridiculous behavior. Seaside signs.
A memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m. Monday at the Overland Park Christian Church; a private family service will be
Tuesday in Topeka
Rose, who was born in Topeka, graduated from Wichita State University with honors in Mathematics.
Rose is survived by her husband, David J. Rose; her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Hummel of Auburn, Kan.; and six brothers and sisters.
