--traditional Dylan," he yelled, but his pleas were in vain. There was nothing traditional about Dylan's concert, as he stomped, romped and wigged his way across the stage in front of a near-capacity crowd.
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Instead of shouting out the usual song, requests between numbers at Bob Dylan's show Friday night in Kemper Arena, one fan from the floor of the arena had a more urgent request.
Dylan spurns traditional sounds
BY JOHN WHITESIDES
Reviewer
The difference was obvious early, when Dylan sang "music in the cafe at night and revolution in the air" of the band. At 10 a.m., he performed.
FANS WHO were drawn by the fiery song-poems of his early days saw few flashes of the earlier form. The Dylan that sang in Kansas City bore as much resemblance to that earlier Dylan as Barry Mimnow does to the Ramazons.
last Dylan, who carved a legend for himself in the '60s, has never allowed himself to be trapped by the expectations of his peers.
KANSAN Review
Gone was the cool aloe loofness that had become his trademark. Dylan instead gave long-winded introductions to songs and band members, throw harmonicas to the crowd and struck classic rock 'n' roll poses as he and band churned out nearly three hours of music covering a wide range of styles.
As usual, Dylan reinterpreted most of his old songs, changing the melodies and sometimes the lyrics to his tastes. The results, in time breathaking, at other times distracting, were always unpredictable.
Dylan's new version of 'It's All Over Now Baby Blue' was an upbeat Latin-flavored tune, propelled by Bobyeh Hall's congas and sustained by Dylan's anarchic harmonica.
NOT ALL of the new arrangements clicked so smoothly, however, "Blowin' in the Wind," one of Dylan's original classics, became a lifting gospel-tuned lullaby, lacking much of the musical flow of the process. "Mr. Tambourine" was a loved to a drait.
One of the more impressive new arrangements was "Masters of War," one of Dylan's earliest, and best, protest songs. The incessant guitar chording and pounding rock arrangement were well-suited to the song's stinted lyrics, creating a kind of 'Bob Dylan Meets Black Sabbath' panorama of the darker side of life.
Indeed, Dylan proved repeatedly that he had lost none of his rock 'n' roll touch. "One More Cup of Coffee" was fueled by a fast-tempo Bo Didley beat. It featured Dylan stepping out and wigging his tambourine during a lengthy percussion break. And the stop-start arrangement given to him in *The Man* "allowed Dylan's excellent band to show off a bit."
Whatever the crowd's reaction might have been, the new melodies didn't seem to bother Dylan, who told the crowd after one particularly fast number, "that that's about as fast as we usually play it, but it really does matter."
AND HE was right. Although the new sound and new arrangements occasionally managed to negate the emotional impact of his older songs, Dylan's band took up the slack with suebr blaving.
Steve Douglas on saxophone and David Mansfield on violin and mandolin were particularly impressive in all numbers. Lead guitarist Riley Cross seemed to be from the mid-1980s, but he was making off on flats of wild abandon during his frequent solos.
Douglas's saxophone and Alain Paasqu's piano backed Dylan on the beautiful 'Girl From the North Country.' And the three backup singers gave "I shall Be Released" the gospel feeling that The Band had previously provided
The best opportunity to hear the 'traditional' Dylan came shortly after intermission, when Dylan, alone in the spotlight, played an unaccompanied version of 'I Ain't Mim' and attached harmonica salos, that brought the crowd to its feet.
DYLAN PACED the well, blend together old and new songs, fast and slow ones. A rousing rendition of "All Along the Watcher" brought to life what until that point had been a fairly subdued crowd. The crowd then packed itself in front of the stage as Dylaen ran for the finish with his high shot. Mr. I’m Only Bleeding” and finally “Forever Young.”
Dylan's enclosure was a fast-paced version of "Changing of the Guard" and then, picking up a rose tossed from the crowd, he waved and was gone, leaving a dazed but happy crowd calling for more.
Bill Roy's 1974 ideas look even better in 1978.
These days, everybody wants economy in government.
Bill Roy saw the need for it sooner than most.
That's why, as a congressman in 1974, he introduced a law to force balanced federal budgets. Bill says simply, "I do not believe we can spend money we do not have."
Also in 1974, Bill authored a law to index income tax brackets so that we won't be forced by inflation into higher and higher tax brackets.
And, that is why as a congressman, he voted against over 100-billion dollars in wasteful government expenditures. Bill Roy has nothing against the "tax revolt". He's one of the people who started it.
"I ask your vote so that I may serve you as your United States Senator.
"I have confidence in this country. We have everything we need to make our future as bright as our past.
"We have the skilled and educated people. We have the form of government—and the kind of economic system we need to succeed.
"All we need today is confidence in ourselves—and confidence in our elected representatives.
"I will work to earn and to retain your confidence."

Murder suspect to testify
The trial of Eugene E. Westergarten, accused of murdering an elderly Lawyer in a year ago, continues today and the court has unanimously tested its evidence.
Westergreen, 51, was arrested Dec. 21 in connection with the murder of Vanessa Smith, 84, found June 9, 1977, beaten to death in New York City.
her home in Oslo, Norway. Wednesday in Douglas County District Court, has centered on a confession Westergaven police police when she was arrested.
Westerglen's court-appointed defense attorney, Jerry Donnelly, spent Thursday questioning the validity of the confession. Donnelly tried to establish that Westerglen, who has a 29-year history of assault in good physical or mental condition when he made the confession.
TWO DEFENSE witnesses, Robert Schulman and David H. Davis, clinical psychologists, testified Thursday that the confession was probably unreliable. They said that Westergren suffered from chronic back pain during pregnancy, given by a man in such a condition should not be regarded as fact.
Westergreen has maintained throughout the case that he gave the confession so he could spend the night in jail, out of the cold.
However, under cross-examination by Harry Warren, Douglas County assistant district attorney, Davis said it was possible for a man in Westergren's mental condition to do something and forget later that he had done it.
The trial is scheduled to reconvene at 1:30 this afternoon in the Douglas County Judicial and Law Enforcement Building.
NASA is hiring student interns
By RON BAIN Staff Reporter
sally K. Ride, who might be the first American woman in space, told a University of Kansas audience Friday that the university is as hiring university students for internships.
About 250 persons attended Ride's speech, given in the Big 8 room of the Kansas Union. Ride, who has been trained to be an astronaut, said that NASA Space Administration in Houston since July, said the federal government limited the number of permanent employees NASA could hire. Because of the limit, the space administration staff with student interns, she said

RIDE, WHO studied at Stanford University until she received a doctorate in physics in January. was one of six women who advanced to national candidates by NASA earlier this year.
Hue said KU hadn't opened a NASA recruitment program, but positions ranging from aerospace engineering to public relations would be available when the program opened. No date has been set for the start of KU's program.
Ride said she would not be the first woman in space even if she were the first of the six U.S. female astronauts to be launched into orbit. The USSR sent a woman, Valentina Tereschkova, into orbit on the Vostok VI mission in 1963.
Ride said her work in space would be physics experiments performed in orbit from a space shuttle, a re-usable space vehicle that begins operation in 1979.
NASA is building five shuttles, each of
which could make 100 trips into orbit before wearing out. Ride said NASA planned to use a new system, but the engineers could only make 100 trips into orbit before wearing out.
NASA plans to use the shuttles for satellite retrieval and delivery, for experiments in space that could not be performed in the earth's atmosphere and for rental to foreign countries that want to do space experiments.
RIDE SAID NASA hoped to use the shuttles to build an orbiting solar power generation station in the 1980s. NASA just finished a feasibility study on solar power at Heliport Houston. The station that was 20 kilometers square could power the city of Houston.
However, Rep. Larry Winn Jr., R-Kan, who introduced Ride and sponsored her trip to KU, said after Ride's speech that the estimated cost of building a solar power space station, $100 billion, might prevent congressional approval of the project.
