Glover approves plan for beer at Hawkstock
By SUSAN STANLEY Staff Reporter
City officials will allow beer to flow at the Hawkstock concert, May 1, even though that day is a Sunday.
Mike Glover, the city prosecutor, said the beer distribution did not violate the city's alcohol and beer regulations. Investigators were free to distribute the beer.
"If a few final things are ironed out there shouldn't be anything else standing in the way of the distribution," he said.
New West and Contemporary Productions and the Interfraternity Council, who will sponsor the show, need to verify that the beer is donated, he said.
GLOVER SAID HE WOULD meet
we the director of IFC during the
week with the details.
these week, city officials were concerned that the Sunday beer distribution could violate a city regulation that prohibits people who hold a liquor license from distributing beer on Sundays. Glover ruled that Hawkstock coordinators did not fall in the same category as those people.
Glover said he had considered opinions from the state attorney general's office and the Division of Justice, who reached and touched the decision last Friday.
Officials involved with the concert said they were relieved the decision has
John Katz, director of marketing for New West and Contemporary Productions, said he had a few harried
moments waiting to find out if the beer distribution would be legal because his company had already poured money into promotion and production costs. Katz would not reveal the percentage of the profits New West would receive.
ALTHOUGH HE WOULD NOT REVEAL the total cost of the concert, he said it was higher than the KU coordinator's $100,000 estimate.
Katz said IFC told New West that there would not be a problem with Sunday beer distribution. He said his business was formed that it could be against the law.
"The problem in Lawrence was that it was unprecedented," he said. "Now that they have reached the decision there shouldn't be any problem in the future. The city just needed to research it." He added that the decision they have to ag by the book."
Because the free beer can be served, New West has eliminated the part of the radio advertisements that say coolers are allowed, Katz said.
However, concert goers can bring coolers containing soft drinks, he said.
ART FARMER, IFC ADVISER, said he was pleased with the decision to issue a memo.
"I have maintained all along that the beer is not the issue." Farmer said. "We are glad about the decision, but now we're at the point where it is time to concentrate on building excitement for the show."
Katz emphasized the importance of bringing identification to the concert.
Tickets cost $10, $12 and $15 are available at the Student Union Activities office, Omni Electronics and fraternities and sororites.
KU Jews celebrate Israeli independence

GOLDBERG LIKENED THE celebration of Israeli independence to other national holidays, such as Bastille Day or the 4th of July.
"This means the reaffirmation of a dream for me," Goldberg said. "Israel means independence and security to all Jews."
"Irael is more endangered than ever," he said, "even though its existence has constantly been threatened."
Goldberg and Vile made their remarks while giving away balloons bearing the message "Come see israel, come see for yourself."
Sheldon Vile, Prairie Village senior and member of the American-Israeli Friendship Organization, said that he too believed in working hard to support Israel as the homeland of Jews throughout the world.

Rochelle McKown, a book buyer for Town Crier, said that in university towns, conservative books did not sell as well as more liberal books, and that stocking conservative books would depend on the specific book.
Moral Majority book list ignored in area
She said selection is usually based on reviews that the book has received, and that the library tried to find books that were the best reading for the most people at the best buy, while other libraries had a lot of Rights, which forbids censorship.
The Lawrence Public Library has a selection committee that discusses books the library will purchase. The committee deals with books dealing with social concerns.

George Gilder's book, "Wealth and Poverty," is one of the books being promoted by the Moral Majority. Several copies have been sold at the Oread Bookstore. More neo-conservative books will soon be placed on the selves of the bookstore after a delivery that is expected soon.
Area bookstore managers and librarians had varied reactions to a recent campaign by the Moral Majority to get more conservative books
Last week, Jerry Failwell, evangelist and founder of the Moral Majority, announced a drive to get more books with traditional and conservative moral views and philosophy on the shelves.
"So much of what we make available depends on the material available. Censorship goes all the way back to when it was written and the books from the authors," she said.
"This may be the last place they find them," said Mary Michener, manager of Adventure-A Bookstore, 1010 Mass.
"Since every book title has to be chosen from over a half million titles, there is nothing wrong with letting your own bases show," she said. "I would refuse to stuck them unless a book is for it. Then I would certainly get it."
SHE SAID MOST OF THE people who worked there had liberal views.
"Titles that Falwell said he wanted to make sure were on the shelves included, "Phyllis Schlafly: The Sweetheart of the Silent Majority," by Carol Felsenhalt; "Secular Humanism, by James Hitchcock; "Richard Riordan: By C. Everett Koops and George Gilder's "Wealth and Power."
"They can't tell us what books we can't have, they can't tell us what books we can have," Michener said.
Bill Getz, supervisor of the Oread
GETZ SAID THAT AS LONG as the books were from one of the 600,000 to 800,000 publishers the Oread buys books from and not from an underground publisher, the store would try to represent all views.
Book Shop in the Kansas Union, said the store had two of the books on Falwell's list, and that it had sold several copies Gilder's book.
CLINT HOWARD, ASSISTANT dean of libraries, said that the KU libraries tried to represent a wide spectrum of views, and that the library administration's concern was not groups wanting more books on the shelves, but those wanting to keep certain books off the shelves.
Karen Harbey, manager of Hatch Book Store, 2018. W. 23rd, said she would not object to putting more conservative books on the shelves, but if she did, she would also add more books with liberal ideas.
"I don't think we would have a problem, unless they should start demanding a time when it would be difficult to realise the promoting specific books," he said.
the public's demand.
He said the store made it a point to have books on political and ideological conservatism, as well as neoconservatism.

The Boston Globe's entry was nominated for a public service award, but the Pulitzer board moved it to the national reporting category.
"The Pulitzer Prize Board again has underscored an unfortunate weakness in its procedures by selecting a winner that was never reviewed by the National Reporting committee," said committee chairman Grant Dillan, vice president and Washington manager of United Press International.
Thomas Kelly, director of photography for the Pottstown (Pa.) Mercury and panel chairman, said the committee had selected Chester Panzer of WRC-TV in Washington as its top candidate. The team, with television footage of the crash of an Air Florida jet and subsequent rescue attempts.
THE PULITIZER PRIZE BOARD also rejected the News-Feature Photography Panel's decision to break tradition and award the prize for spot
news photography to a television cameraman.
"We felt he had the best images on the table." Kelly said, adding that the panel asked the board to "to decide whether or not television people should be in the contest."
