Mangione's music 'feels so good'
Mellow sounds transform Hoch into wonderland
BY JOEL FREDERICK Kansan Reviewer
Chuck Mangione and Quartet, featuring Chuck Mangione, Gujeldorn and keyboards; Chris Vadala, winds and keyboard; James Bradley, drums, jugs, rumbles, james Bradley, drums.
A former Eastman School of Music student once said of jazz great DJR Gillespie: "He invites you into the music classroom. He makes it a fun place to go up there." That student has successfully adopted this performing philosophy and now performs at various clubs and also sports a pleasant-featured cap. The student is Chuck Mangione, and he showed last night why he is one of the front-runners.
Mangione started the concert sluggily, plagued frequently by intonation difficulty. Some more intricate melodic lines were added and sometimes, were out exactly electricly.
But with the fourth selection, "Give It All You've Got," Mangi loses up All and was well on his way to a scintillating performance. His marvelous melting flaghookioned the enchanting, "I feel bad. I said Someone told me," and the familiar "Feels So Good."
Mangione has surrounded himself with a quartet of truly fine musicians. His rhythm section, composed of a trio of California artists, is anchored by James Bradley Jr. on
He is joined by Charles Meeks on bass, whose popping, percussive style—most evident in his explosive, syncopated "Hide Out," a duet with the musician, clean, tender opening statement on "XI Commandment," just wrapped with the selection's funky, animated section, was
Equally talented is guitarist Carl Lockett, the newest member of the group, who flashed bids of a soulful George Benson on the beautiful "Land of Make Believe," offered an early rock and roll fanation on "Hail the Dragon" with a Latin feel on "Children of Sanchez."
But the star of the evening was the final member of the group, the incredible Chris Vadala. This young man from Poughkeepsie that was nothing short of brilliant. He proved his versatility by gliding effervescently from the full, rich sound of the soprano sax solo on '1 Never Missed someone.' to the hitting, tutee solo on guitar.
His duet work with Mangione bordered on being ethereal, particularly the remarkable fade-out conclusion "Fun and Games."
Competent also on flute and piccolo, Vadala mesmerized the audience with his contributions on "chase the Clouds Away."

Mangione and Company's Hollywood bowl concert was touted as "An Evening of Magic," and it is not difficult to see why. This group of extraordinary musicians is not afraid to show that it's having fun up there, even if they aren't into its music. And yes, it feels so good.

How 'flugelhorn' is becoming a household word
By JUDITH LYNN HOWARD
Chuck Mangione, 39, acclaimed jazz instrumentist, never expected that his 1977 release, "Fees So Good," would do what it did tosemble.
Record-buyers turned Mangione's fourth album, which won him a Grammy, into gold, buying more than a million dollars worth of good feelings.
Some jazz critics jazed again, Mangione, who was appointed the protostudent his music when he made "Fess." He also subsumed his subsequent album, "Children of Sanchez," because they broke traditional jazz rules.
"When someone like Herbie (Hancock) or Cannonball Adlerly or George Benson or perhaps myself has a record that teaches so much, I want to educate the masses in the process . . . the young listener is educated by this means." Mangane said at a press conference.
'n : not I think anybody has ever sat down and said we're going to make a song called 'Fees So Good', and it's going to be perfect and everybody's going to love it.' he said.
And Mangione said he did not interpret his success on the charts as a lead into commercialism.

Bush, Carter win in Iowa
DE MOS MINES, Iowa (AP)—George Bush
warned his supporters that he would
Reagan last night in return from the fowa
precinct caucuses to give his campaign for
the 1980 Republican presidential nomination
Predictably, Jimmy Carter renewed his political love affair with Iowa and thrashed Sen. Edward M. Kennedy in their first official confrontation.
With results from a non-binding straw poll of Republicans him leading Reagan, Bush said he would leave today for New Hampshire, "and we'll do better
The New Hampshire primary, Feb. 26, is the next biot test of the campaign.
With 48.3 percent of the Republican precincts reporting, Bush held an 18,395 to 15,360 lead over Reagan in the straw poll.
Sen. Howard B. Baker was third with 7,907; John B. Connault, 4,884; Rep. Philip Crane, 3,753; Rep. John Anderson, 2,326; Sen. Rob Dole, 1,192.
Results from 2,442 of the 2,531 Democratic precepts gave Carter 59 percent, Kennedy 31 percent, uncommitted 10 percent.
The Republican caucuses chose delegates to represent their precincts at county conventions, but the delegates were not bound to candidates by yesterday's out-
Based on those figures, Iowa's 50 delegates to the Democratic National Convention in August would be divided 29-31. So far, 34 of 4 uncompeted. One is yet to be awarded.
Bush had grown increasingly optimistic in the last days of the war, but Reagan was convinced the caucus as a faction's basis of a mid-January poll that showed him first among Iowa Republicans, with Bush running.
From the earliest Monday night returns, Carter jumped to a two-to-one lead over Kennedy and held it throughout the night.
In the past two months, Carter cancelled plans to campaign in Iowa, citing the crises that have plagued him over the last year in Washington, while his public opinion poll climbed and predictions of elections were up.
As soon as his 1980 victory was assured, the president issued a statement at the White House saying, "I deeply appreciate the vote of confidence from Iowa Democrats. Their expression of support is very welcome in these difficult times."
our carter and others close to him have indicated that he is about to begin at least limited campaign activity outside of the White House.
the reasons I run for president still remain," said the Massachusetts senator who once led Carter two to one in public and drew a margin that reversed in recent weeks.
Kennedy met with supporters at his campaign headquarters in Washington and vowed to remain in the race.
"Tonight, according to my count," Kennedy told supporters, "Prior Carter needs 1,463 delegates more to win the election. We need 1,651 and we're going to get it."
Kennedy's press secretary, Tom Southwick, attributed the defeat to what he said was the nation's two-month preoccupation with foreign policy.
It was Iowa that was the launching pad for Carter's successful, out-of-nowhere presidential campaign in 1976.
Taylor says beer not for 18-year-olds
Reagan was in California and had no immediate comment on the Iowa results.

TOPEKA-The Rev. Richard E.
Taylor is at it again.
Taylor and Kansans for Life at Lifespan are undergoing but again this session to convince the Legislature to raise the legal age for drinking 3.2 percent beer in Michigan.
And many state legislators insist that such a move is not out of the question in an election year, particularly since the Senate has become something of a trend recently.
Eighteen-year-olds have been allowed to buy beer in the state since 1937.
SIX STATES have raised the legal drinking age in the nast three years.
"We're dead serious about this," Taylor said yesterday. "We have to stop this teen-age drug traced now. Alcohol is just a drug that just marijuana is under prohibition."
Last summer, the Illinois Legislature increased that state's legal drinking age
for beer from 19 to 21. Michigan voters approved a constitutional amendment in 1978 to raise the state's legal age from 18 to 21.
Both Massachusetts and Maine raised their drinking ages to 20 last year. Montana and Minnesota went to 19.
A 1979 Gallup poll showed that 56 percent of the people in states with an 18 or 19 drinking age favored raising the age limit in their state.
"Taylor may get a lot of support," said Mr. Taylor, the chairman of Leavenworth, chairman of the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee, the group that usually handles liquor supply.
"The fact that is an election year will definitely help him. I think a lot of legislators may support him in order to prevent them with their constituents." Reilly said.
SOME LAWMAKERS have suggested, however, that a sudden three-year jump in the drinking age may be too drastic for

While support for a return to a 21-year-old student is ongoing, students in Legislature, student opposition to such a proposal is gaining momentum, according to Associated Students of Kansas University.
The assembly, which has not yet taken an official stand on the drinking issue, can nevertheless count on a ground swell of student support, according to KU
If the legislature really puts on the pressure, then the students are going to come around and get involved," said Cynthia Gillen of the line, then ASK will pick up support.
KU has 23 delegates in the assembly. But if students abandon apathy for activity, it is because the mood on college campuses is shifting toward in-
vowelment, according to David Bruns,
another delegate.
HE SAID the recent emotional trend of world events might have encouraged student involvement.
"Suppose you can vote for whoever you want to run the country, but you're not old enough to drink a 3.2 beer at the Hawk," he said. "It is simply ludicrous."
But the "old enough to fight, old enough to vote, old enough to drink" maxim of the Vietnam era seems to be fading from the national consciousness.
As of early January, at least 52 separate proposals for raising the drinking age were pending in Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin.

Athletic officials sav bogus credit unlikely at KU
By SCOTT FAUST
Staff Reporter
At New Mexico State University, two coaches were fired in November after they allegedly forbited a basketball recruiting bounty. The players were invited to a junior college official to laureate the fake.
The use of bogus credits for athlete
recruits is excused some larger Wester-
ern universities, unlike at the University of Kansas,
athletic department officials, players and
coachs.
Obawa officials have said they hired the instructor for the classes, which were held in Osaka and Fukuoka, and teachers seeking reification. The officials said that they were not aware that their students had been reified.
Oregon State University was one of the schools whose athletes received credit for extension classes offered by Ottawa (Kan. University which they never attended).
THE UNIVERSITY accepts correspondence work from its own continuing education program. Fisher said, and those who were interested could be paid for with scholarship money.
Mike Fischer,男,他's academic counselor, said these credit irregularities could not happen at KU because any transfer of ex-creditors would be the office of admissions and records.
Del Brinkman, dean of the School of Juridical and chairman of the Kansas University Board, said he felt fairly certain that transcript falsification and use of bogus materials were part of his charge.
He said he was sure Gil Dyk, dean of admissions and records, would not accept questionable non-KU extension and correspondence credits.
Leroy Irivin, senior safety on KU's football team, said the transcript tilted had been "gone on for a long time" at schools on the East and West coast, but not in Florida.
can do it. But the chances of them getting by with it, I think, are pretty slim."
"If somebody really wants to beat the system," Brinkman said, "I'm sure they
"We go by the book here," Irvin said.
"They don't go by the book at the other schools."
JEFF FOX, junior defense tackle, also said that KU was not breaking the rules, but said he knew it was "common knowledge" that it happened at some universities.
Basketball Coach Ted Owens said he had never heard of any transcript falsification at KU.
"I think our people are very, very careful about checking thins like that," he said.
Sandy Bahan, women's academic counselor and golf coach, said, "I think it would be real tough for the kind of things
done at New Mexico and Oregon State to be done here, unless the kid was a juco transfer."
Even then, she said, Dyck is "pretty sharp" about spotting bad junior college transcripts.
FISHER SAID the illegitities that occurred at the Western universities could not have been missed by admissions officials and some of them must have been involved.
"To me it seems very strange that complete blame comes down on the coach," he said, "because somebody else has to be in on it.
All the falsifications discovered at the
"Let's say a player is three hours dead," Fisher said. "On August 25, in comes a transcript from Bogus Tech with three hours of A.
"When it gets to the office of admissions and records, somebody is going to catch it." All the felicitations disappeared at the
universities were attempts to give players enough credits for eligibility.
ONCE AT KU, athletes must be certified eligible every semester they are active in a sport. Fisher said.
Under Big Eight Conference rules, Fisher said, KU men athletes transferring from Iowa and Wisconsin to the degrees from those schools or have achieved at least a 2.0 grade point average in their classes.
They must complete successfully at least 24 hours of credit every two semesters and, if they have completed less than 60 hours of credit, they must receive a grade point average more than 1.8.
If they graduated from high school with less than a 2.0 average, junior college transfers must have at least a 2.5 GPA in their last two semesters before entering KU. She said the University would not accept credit in areas such as vocational education.
If they have compiled more than 60 total hours, Fisher said, they must maintain a 1.8 GPA.
Eligibility in women's athletics is based on standard set by the Association of International Athletics, and has been said. AIAW rules state that students must be "normal progress" to remain
Bahan said that it was up to each university to set the normal progress standards.
normal progress of students transferring from other schools is defined by their former schools' standards, Beban said.
Along with making sure the athletes are eligible, Fisher said he tries to remind them that they are not at KU solely for athletics.
"The very first thing I tell them is to forget pro football," Fisher said, adding that only one in 1,000 make it to the pros.
"My job is to make these kids aware that they've got to make the system function for them."
