Calypso group warms audience with hot tunes
By PEGGY HELSEL Staff Reporter
What better way to warm up a cold January night than listening to the hot tropical rhythms of the Caribbean. Shangoya, a calypso-reggae band from Minneapolis, will bring those rhythms to Lawrence Wednesday when they perform at the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., starting at 9:30 p.m.
The group's music reflects a lighthearted, danceable mixture of reggae, calypso and soca. Soca blends American soul music and calypso, and it developed when Caribbean musicians were influenced by the rhythm and blues they heard from American radio.
STEEL DRUMS AND rhythmic percussions characterize the music that "definitely keeps your mind off winter," said Charles F. Campbell, a spokesman for the group.
The group derived its name from Sangho, a West Indian religion and society, the Thunder and love. Shangho literally translates into "goddess of fire."
Game offers emotional outlet
By RICK ZAPOROWSKI Staff Reporter
JAMES LAPOINT, ASSOCIATE professor of health, physical education and recreation, said the game served as a form of emotional release and was a good reason to get together with friends.
Millions of television sets will be tuned in to Super Bowl XIX on Sunday. Dozens of informal gatherings in Lawrence will give fans a chance to get together with their friends to cheer for the Miami Dolphins or the San Francisco 49ers, drink some beer and perhaps place bets on the contest.
But interest in the Super Bowl extends beyond the millions of dollars being spent on salaries, tickets and television advertisements and beyond who wins or loses. The game provides social and even political benefits, say two KU professors.
"Sports are a good outlet for pent-up emotions," he said.
Watching the football game allows people to get involved in something outside their everyday life, Lapoint said.
"At the time people get together, it really becomes a form of release to them. It is a way to connect."
"It has some very important political overtones," he said. "It's become an affirmation of Americanism."

 junior, said students would gather informally during the game at the
farmhouse of fraternity house, 1045
Emery Road.
Most people there are interested in the game itself, he said, but the team's own club pub will drink beer, smoke cigars and make wagers on the game.
Norman Yetman, professor of American Studies and sociology, said politicians used the game to their advantage.
Glen Kemper, St. Louis junior, and Shawn Donohoe, Harrisonville, M., freshman, expect between 20 and 30 minutes to cash in their room at Eldsworth Hall.
DONIOHE SAID, "ITS just another excuse for another bairn narty."
However, after the parties die down and the empty beer cans are tossed, the emotions of the game linger, Lapoint said. Studies indicate that people carry their initial excitement or disappointment about the game's outcome for several days after the game ends, he said.
