DID GLEN CAMPBELL REALLY start out this way? Probably. This kind of indian summer weather makes you want to sing anyway (and dance). The scene is not actually one of Marlboro country, but a bit more urban. The effort is there, however, and the scene could be one of Johnny Cash bellowing on the steps of Folsom Prison. Wrong again—fire escape of a KU fraternity house where a musician can really get inspired.

Concerned Black Parents Issue Statement
The Kansan regrets the quote appearing in Tuesday's issue which stated that the Lawrence Branch of concerned Black Parents was supporting the Rick Dowdell Liberation School. The statement Tuesday was correctly attributed to Jake Mumford (Yaw Adee).
They issued the following statement:
The Lawrence Branch of Concerned Black Parents wants the community of Lawrence to become cognizant of the fact that contrary to statements made in the University Dally Kansan on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 1970, our group is in no way aligned with Jake Mumford, alias Yaw Adee, or the Rick Dowdell Liberation School.
The aims of the Lawrence Branch of Concerned Black Parents are as follows:
1. To gain a better understanding of the public school system and especially Unified School District #497.
2. To increase awareness of the problems black children face each day in school.
3. To plan and implement programs which will increase the success of black children in the public schools.
4. To make the community aware of the problems black children face in the schools so that the community can assist in changing the system in a positive way.
Anyone who wishes to make financial contributions toward the realization of our group's aims may do so by sending all contributions directly to the Lawrence Branch of Concerned Black Parents or the Black Youth Advancement Fund in care of the First National Bank of Lawrence. Contributions should not be given to individuals.

It is enough to meditate upon eternity, but one would tend to believe this student is probably considering a theory about energy (notice how energetic?). Consider the position of the feet, as if to say, "Do Not Disturb. Great Mind at Work."
