Homecoming concert still in limbo
Rv AMY HOLLOWELL
Staff Reporter
Although an act has not yet been scheduled for the KU homecoming concert Oct. 27, Duke Divine, director of Student Union Activities events, said news that the duke would give up the search for a band even though the date was less than a month away.
Divee said that it was too late to schedule a show in Allen Fold House, but that he thought he still had time to coordinate a "bia name" in Hoeb Auditorium.
Dine said that he had never experienced such difficulties in booking an act and that he was becoming discouraged.
He attributed his problems this year to a slump in the music industry in general and to a RU policy that prohibits the suspension of speakers, from the ceiling of the Field House.
Bands usually tour to promote an album, he said, and at present the recording industry is slow because consumers are not spending as much on albums anymore.
"THE ONLY SHOWS that are big enough to record and tour aren't going to stop at schools." Divine said. "They'll go the major cities where the audiences are

time, he said, and groups that play to smaller audiences would not sound right at Hoch Auditorium or the Field House.
"I've had better luck with acts promoting albums this year than ever before," he said. "There are tons of acts out there."
Reinhardt said SUA's policy of coordinating shows only through an outside promoter was "too much trouble, too much tape," for most acts to want to deal with.
"SUA JUST DOESN'T want to take the risk of backing a show. That's why there's
been an under abundance of concerts at KU the past few years," he said.
Divine said many area schools worked through promoters, primarily to "keep from getting ripped off" by bands.
Divine was optimistic about his prospects for booking a homecoming act.
MYRON MOLZEN, acting special events manager at Kansaun Hospital in Kamla Nagar, all of its own. Molzen said he had given his up search to find an act for the K-State homecoming event.
"We can put things together real quick," he said. "I'm not going to give in like they did at K-State. There will most likely be a show in Hoch Oct. 27."
Oread association delays downzoning action
The Orcad Neighborhood Association decided last night to have its board of directors meet in the city council chamber for a recall election of three city commendations and a city-wide referendum on
The question of a recall or referendum was brought up at the association's September meeting; City Commissioners Bob Schumann, Ed Carter and Dion Binnas were among those who commissioned had voted in opposition downzoning the Orland neighborhood.
The proposed downzoning would be from residential high-density to residential duplex.
The Oread association made its decision
after discussing the legal aspects of the two alternatives and the possible effects each action would have.
Association president Tom Gleason outlined parts of the Kansas statutes relating to holding a recall election.
Among the statute's regulations are stipulations that only two commissioners can be recalled and that at least 40 percent of all city election members must sign a reall petition.
About 1,600 signatures would have to be obtained, Jerry Harper, association member said.
Nan Harper, association member, said she thought the association should consider the possible negative effects of a recall.
"WE WOULDN'T want to do anything extremely antagonizing to the city," she said.
She also said the recall could diffuse the goals of the association by drawing attention away from other causes, such as the neighborhood anti-crime program.
The group decided that the recall action would be premature. Members decided to send a letter to Mr. Gorsky, who authorized the downsizing of Area One of the neighborhood, which will be done at the Oct. 10 deadline.
The city planning commission recommended last week that the city downzone Area One, which is bounded by Ninth Street on the north, 11th Street on the south,
Missouri Street on the west and an alley between Mississippi and Illinois streets on the east.
CITY COMMISSIONERS CARTER and Schumm have said they would consider downzoning individual sections of the neighborhood.
The referendum proposal was placed under advisement for reasons similar to the recall proposal.
Gleason said a referendum would require signatures from 25 percent of the total voters in the last election.
But the association decided that a letter should be sent to the city commission reaffirming the opinion that the entire neighborhood should be downzoned.
