'Gaslight Gang' goes to Hollywood
Local dixieland group to appear on television
By CAROL SCHOENBECK
Kansan Staff Writer
Red, white and blue striped jackets, red vests, black bow ties and slacks, and an assortment of hats characterize Paul Gray and the Gaslight Gang.
Swiring into a version of "Black Bottom," they began their concert last night at the Delta Delta Delta sorority house.
The Gaslight Gang, a dixieland group composed of eight KU students, taped their program to take with them when they go to Hollywood tomorrow. They
have been selected to appear on the All-American College Hour Show, a weekly television program which samples the talent of college students across the nation.
"We auditioned for this program early in November," Paul Gray, Windsor, Mo., senior and band leader, said. "We were the only group chosen from KU."
The band is going to Hollywood this week to tape the TV show. They will stay until Monday, touring studios and attending some shows.
This college snow is struc
tured on a semester basis. Each week four groups from different sections of the country are presented.
"Various celebrities judge the talent and announce a winner at the end of the program," Gray said. "This winner receives $1,000 and the chance to advance to the semifinals. Winners in this competition receive $1,500 and move into the finals. The over-all winner receives $5,000." he said.

Watkins has new x-ray machines
Modernization is underway at Watkins Memorial Hospital with the installation of new x-ray equipment.
A $25,000 gift from Mrs. Grace Blair Emmett, a Lawrence resident whose husband formerly taught at Lawrence High School, has made possible the purchase of x-ray machines and accessories.
Newly-added equipment, said Dr. Raymond Schwegler, director of the Health Center, consists of a Picker x-ray machine, control cabinet, transformer, rectifier, tube cranes, chest film changer and a film processor.
The Picker machine, installed last summer, Schwegler said, is a heavy machine that handles all radiographic problems.
"The processor," Schwegler said, "develops, drys and has the film ready to go in four minutes."
ROYAL DOULTON
"Heavier machines mean shorter exposures, which mean smaller amounts of radiation," the hospital director said. "This in turn means more safety."
Developing time for x-rays has been shortened from 24 hours to four minutes with the addition of a new film processor.

Character Jugs are collectors' items
Gray said their appearance will be aired the second Thursday in January. They plan to do an arrangement of "When the Saints Go Marching In" for the competition.
The modernization has been a "giant step forward," Schwegler said. However, he added, more men are needed as well as machines.
The Gaslight Gang was organized in 1964 at the Midwestern Music and Art Camp which most of the present members were attending. Gray said they hope to stay together after graduation, barring draft problems.
The pickings are superb, this Christmas. Turtles of all sorts, solid, striped and inset. Classic button placket knits in supersoft cotton and amazing man-made fibers. And the best of cut-and-sewn sport shirts are included for the most conservative on your list.

The New Marxism
Soviet and East European Marksim Since
1984. T. D. Corrigan, London.
Soviet and East European Marxism Since 1956
Since Khrushchev's 1956 speech against Stalin, significant changes have altered the political character of the Soviet-East European bloc. The *New Marxism* describes and evaluates the corresponding changes in Marxist and Marxist-Leninist theory and their relation to previous positions. The book makes clear that Marxist ideology remains a binding tie in Europe today, despite some developments that may be expected from the growing spirit of diversity behind the iron curtain.
