Volunteers valuable inconcert set up

The plan of unloading the equipment for Molly Hatchet from 3 a.m. to 8 a.m. Friday, taking a break for the classes that were being unloaded, continuing the unloading, never materialized.
Unloading in the shorter span between 12:30 p.m. and 6 p.m., when the sound check was
Despite all the problems, the Student Union Activities special events volunteers were there to work, and the concert came off successfully and on time.
Only those who were at the auditorium all two knew that there had been problems.
The stage crew, which helps unload and set up the band's equipment, met in Hoch at 12:30 p.m. At first only six of the 18 members scheduled to work had arrived.
Paul Mullen, SUA stage manager, said, "I'm getting wary of being burned."
He said that class schedules and students saying they would be there and then not attending class were correct.
HE SAID that many bands' road crews expected to have enough help they arrived at a hall, and Mullin was responsible if his staff was short.
At but 12:30 p.m. there was a physics class scheduled in Hoch, and the Molly Hatch equipment was still traveling the highways that lead to Mo., so the crew could start work anyway.
The rest of Mullin's crew did show up later.
The rest of Mulin's crew and snow up flutter. "We're just the stage crew," Stuart Goldstein, Wichita sophomore, said. "We know the stage here."
And knowing the stage and outlets enables the crew to help the unfamiliar roadies.
"Some of us crazy people actually like doing this," Mullin said, after finding out that the Hatchet sound equipment truck was too large to fit inside interstate boundaries and would be delayed.
IN THE DELAY, Mulin talked about his
crew he said had been women on his crew,
and was coming up Friday.
He said that women had to work harder to prove that they were capable and willing to work because road managers tended to think of women not as workers but as groupies.
"I think we do our fair share," Alison Hart, Omaha freshman, said.
Julie Newland, Parsons senior, the other female worker, agreed.
Newland explained that few men lifted a soo-
p-pulling machine, themselves.
Mort of the work was a gruff offer.
Helping with the spotlights was Kim Warrior, Harlem, Mt., junior, Warrior, who arrived at 2 p.m., like the rest of the lightning staff said, "I really enjoy listening and taking part in the show. And it's a lot cheaper."
STAGE CREW members help with set up, and may attend the concert for free, but are not paid.
Warrior said that she had worked a spotlight twice in the year and a half she had been on the crew. All members of the crew are taught how to work the spot. Other jobs include taping down wires and carrying the lights into the hall.
Security arrived about 5 p.m. Security people wear white T-shirts with "security" printed on them in red letters. Mike Berning, co-chairman of security, said that he had 52
people signed up for his crew and that 45 usually worked each show.
Berned told his people to "be careful, use discretion and use your head." Security sometimes involves taking away alcohol or using a sharp knife, hall, or making someone out a cigarette.
BERNING TOLD his people not to incite possible violence and endangered danger, he wrote. "I am sorry for the helpless girl."
Berning said that the Union carried a liability policy for people hurt while working and that it covered those who worked the concerts, but he also said that he wanted his people to use their heads, to be especially aware that some situations could become violent.
"Crowds up here are generally well behaved." he said.
Anne Golboro, Cicago freshman, said, "I ticket take because I can't see in the dar."
She also hands out passes to people who want to leave and then return to the concert.
"I basically do it because I get in free," Stuart Price, Fairway junior, said.
THE RUNNER FOR the day was Barbara Robertson, publicity chairman. A runner has a car and does errands for the roads and the band. Sometimes this includes running to a laundromat to wash clothes or running to a hardware store to get paint for a set.
Duke Divine, SUA special events chairman,
aid; "People who work on my production
will have a place here."
Other special events subcommittees and chairman are; security, Steve Burghart; ushers, Chris Kaberline and David Smith; Barr, Tonnilin; and photography, Pat Lance.

cluding an appearance at the Uptown Theatre in Kansas City, Mo.
Members of the band are Bartle on guitar, John Boln on drums, Max Padilla on bass guitar and Rob Forest on lead vocals and guitar.
FOR THE PAST three weeks DVC has opened for MV Hatchet.
The band's first album was released four months ago and is titled, "DVC". Since then, the band has released two albums.
Padilla said, "Molly Hatchet has to be about the fact that she're very cooperative with her band."
"We like touring," Bartle said. "This is our first major one."
DVC does not yet have enough original material to be able to headline without incorporating other artists' material into its show. he said.
The band plans to go back into the studio to record its second album before the end of
THE NEXT ALBUM will have a harder sound than the last one, Padilla and Bartle

said. They think the first album is good; however, they said that when they perform they are a hard-rock band and the album does not come across as hard.
Bartle and Bolin are originally from Sioux City, Iowa, where they had a band for almost six years. They separated, finding it difficult to stay together without a record contract, and Bolin recorded with Richard T. Bear on the band with the Jan Park Band on CSR Records
Bartle and Bolin went back to Iowa and, with Rob Forest, formed the Penetrators. The name was later changed to DVC, and last December Padilla joined the group.
Musical group revives past

Sounds of 18th century Venice filled the main
barren grounds and gave a concert of the Collegium Musicum Sunday afternoon.
The Collegium Musicum included six ensembles of singers and players of musical instruments modeled after those played from the 15th to the 17th centuries in Europe.
Daniel T. Politokes, professor of music history, directed the vocal groups and Terry L. Baldridge, assistant instructor in music history, directed the instrumental groups.
"The concert today was a mixture of entertainment and church music," said Politoske, how also sang with the five-member Madrigal Singers.
He said the Collegium Musicum began about 15 years ago as a music history workshop and evolved into a class for credit that practices twice a week.
Anyone who reads music and can sing or play one of the ancient instruments the group uses musically.
"We are constantly looking for new members and new talent," Politoske said.
The School of Fine Arts provided the group's instruments, which are 5- to 20-year-old replicas of the saxophone, recorders, crumhorns and cornettos. The European musicians of the 19th to 17th centuries.
"The sackbuck is the mother and father of today's trombone," Politiske said of the tarnished, brass instruments of the four-member Sackbut Consort.
The Recorder Consort, composed of four men,
played the wooden predecessors of the flute in
a recital.
Politeksha has directed the Collegium Musicum for all except two years since he joined the KU faculty in 1975. He said he purposely chose a variety of music ranging from somber to light.
"Italiia" was a mournful madrigal by Philippe Verdelot, who had set to music a poem by 15th century Italian poet Petarach. He wrote of current political troubles in his country.
"Oocci moi doii," a madrigal for after-dinner entertainment by Nicola Vincentino, sung the praises of a lover's eyes, according to an English translation of the text provided in the program.
Politeke said the Collegeium Musicum's next performance would be a collection of Christmas music performed at 2 p.m. Dec. 6 in Spencer Art Museum.

Italian engravings exhibit opens in Spencer
An exhibition of the works of Marcantonio Raimondi, a 16th century engraver who revolutionized engraving techniques, was two hundred and 1200 miles apart at approximately the same time.
Two years later, after combining efforts, Elizabeth Broun, curator of prints and drawings for the Spencer Art Museum and Innis Shoemaker, assistant director of the Ackland Art Museum, curator of North Carolina, completed the exhibition on display in Spencer's White Gallery.
The exhibition contains 75 pieces by Marcantonio and his two chief assistants, Marco Dente da Ravenna and Agostino Veneziano. The collection includes American museum museums and three private collections.
"In some cases the prints were very rare," Brown said. "Special assurance had to be made
with certain museums on the level of lightning that would be used so the prints would not be harmed, and in the care given while moving them."
Shoenakar in the fall of 1979 gave a seminar on Rainmoid with the idea of bringing together an exhibition. She had a group of seven or eight students doing research for a catalogue.
Early in 1980, Broun had completed papers for a grant to do research on Raimondi. She became interested in the engraver when the museum received examples of his work.
Brown had been in Boston, Massachusetts,
doing research when she was told of a woman in North Carolina who was told research on the same engraver.
Shoaker traveled the East Coast, including a visit at Harvard in New York, bestskied or skied.

Broun and Shoemaker also collaborated on a catalogue on Raimondi which will be available.
Included in the catalogue will be two essays by the organizers of the exhibition and articles going into great detail on the various prints, Shoemaker said.
The show, which will continue through Jan. 3, will be the first to focus on the Italian engraver in 1795.
After being on display at the University of Kansas, the exhibition will appear at the Ackland Art Museum and at the Wellesley College Museum.
