Top rock may be a possibility for KU
By John Williams Of the Kansan staff
Big-name rock'n' roll groups could perform at Memorial Stadium if a student group circulating a music survey can persuade Student Union Activities to bring them to Lawrence, the group's coordinator said yesterday.
Craig Krueger, Sioux City, Iowa, senior and coordinator for Rock for KU, which is now distributing a music survey to 1,500 students, said that the University of Kansas did not have big concerts for two reasons.
"And they are just excuses," Krueger said.
The first reason that administrators and concert coordinators bring up is that KU is too close to the Kansas City metroplatan area, which is a popular stop for many concert tours.
The other reason given is that KU does not have adequate places to perform. he said.
Steve Traxlier, director of SUA Special Events, which books KU concerts, said that using Memorial Hall for concerts would be expensive.
The stadium has little power, and using electrical generators is a costly option, he said. The stadium also lacks adequate food service, and catering is expensive. Seating in the stadium is a problem, too, and some fans could sit on the Hill, where security would be difficult and the crowd could listen to concerts for free.
Group looks at new talent
By Jennifer Benjamin Of the Kansan staff
Most students have heard of Foreigner and Bruce Springsteen, but how many know about Get Smart and Naked Raygun?
Two KU students have started a non-profit company to help little-known bands introduce their sounds as they entertain.
Sound Alternative Productions, a non-profit organization, and Redline, a Lawrence production company, will present Get Smart, a band originally from Lawrence but now based in Chicago, on Friday at The Outhouse, a building about four miles east of Massachusetts Street on 15th Street.
On Dec. 7, Sound Alternative will present Naked Raygun, a hardcore band from Chicago, at The Outhouse.
Sound Alternative tries to bring bands that appeal to listeners of KJHK-FM, Jeff Hekmati, Lawrence senior and one of the
Krueger cited the University of Colorado as an example of where big concerts worked out well. He said Boulder was close to Denver and the university had a stadium about the size of Memorial Stadium, but that did not stop the university from booking large concerts.
company's organizers, said yesterday.
For about six years, KJKH has referred to itself as a "sound alternative," Hekmati said. The company wants to be separate from KJKH so it can make its own decisions but wants listeners to identify the company with KJKH.
Previous concerts have attracted crowds of about 200 at each concert, he said. Tickets range from $2 to $5 and are sold at the door. Any money raised goes toward other concerts or to KJHK.
Hekmati said that John Cheney, Lawrence senior, had started the company to satisfy a void in Lawrence for various types of live music. The company was formed about $1 \frac{1}{2}$ months ago.
Cheney, KJHK music director, and Hekmati, KJHK night program director, want to offer a variety of live music — including hard core, punk and rock groups — for everyone, especially KJHK listeners, Hekmati said.
He said Rock for KU was pursuing the possibility of bringing concerts to KU with the help of SUA. The group also wants to show SUA that students are more interested in large concerts in Memorial Stadium.
hope this will motivate students to think about it, and pressure the proper authorities to accommodate us.
"Perhaps the most important thing we are doing is showing that it can happen and that the students want something like this."
"If the students want it to happen then it will happen," he said. "We
The survey asks students which groups they would like to hear, how much they would spend on concert tickets, who their favorite male and female vocalists are and what type of music they prefer.
Traxler said that in the 1970s, such groups as ZZ Top and Yes played in Allen Field House and Hoch Auditorium, but because of seating problems and acoustics in the field house many bands turned to places where they could play their concerts better and make more money.
SUA, however, has been trying to get stadium shows, Traxler said. This summer Memorial Stadium was considered by Bruce Springsteen as a place to watch if Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Mo., was not available, he said.
"We knew Springsteen would sell better than Hawkstock did in 1982," he said. "The stadium show had been the biggest money, so we have to be really careful.
But Springenstein decided not to play in Kansas City, St. Louis or New York.
"SUA definitely wants a well-known group in the stadium, and we (SUA and Rock for KU) are going to have to work together to make it work. It will be interesting to see what the surveys say."
BSU OK's Chrysalis in election
By Sandra Crider Special to the Kansan
The Black Student Union last night endorsed the Chrysalis Coalition after a debate between the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the Chrysalis and the Common Sense coalitions.
About 50 people attended the debate at the BSU meeting in the Jayhawk Room of the Kansas Union. This was the last scheduled debate before the Student Senate elections, Nov. 20-21.
BSU members said they thought that issues facing black students would be better represented by Chrysalis' candidates, although some were skeptical about the dedication of either coalition to minorities on campus.
Lennie Wesley, Wichita junior, said he was not convinced of the seriousness of the candidates' com-
parison to the problems of black students.
"I will believe what I see when I see it," he said.
BSU members asked the candidates about several issues, including decreased financing for BSU students and a shortage of minority students on campus.
In the debate, the candidates, Milton Scott and Ruth Lichtwardt, presidential and vice presidential candidates for Chrysalis, and David Epstein and Amy Brown, presidential and vice presidential candidates for Chrysalis, agreed on one subject, the ineffectiveness of this year's Senate.
"We are concerned for students and not for keeping Senate as a self-serving clubhouse." Scott said.
Epstein said that members of his coalition would serve on Senate as students and not as students as politicians.
The two groups had different views about the role of the Senate concerning the Kansas University Endowment Association's investments in U.S. companies that do business in South Africa.
Brown said that Senate leaders could be valuable by working behind the scenes with the Endowment Corporation and Chancellor Gene A. Budig.
Lichtwardt stressed Scott's and her personal commitment in working to abolish apartheid.
"We need to ask them, 'How can we help you get KUEA's money out of Switzerland?'
"We're not waiting until we're elected to do something about it," she said. "I'm even willing to be arrested if it will further our cause."
Epstein said his coalition would concentrate on getting students to test at high levels.
Lichtwardt said, "We'll be working to show people why we're better than Common Sense."
Women select GSP-Corbin first for hall living
By Bob Tinslev
Of the Kansan staff
Each spring as housing contracts begin to arrive at the office of residential programs, hundreds of incoming freshman women vie to stake claims on rooms in Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall.
Many say the rush on the two halls is a prelude to a rush of another kind.
GSP-Corbin long has been reputed as the stepping stone for KU women who want to pledge a sorority. The halls are among the first to fill when housing contracts begin to arrive at the residential programs office.
bin for fall 1986. Fourteen women have inquired about GSP.
Fred McElhenie, director of residential programs, said last week that the 79 women who had inquired about GSP-Corbin were not guaranteed space until they submitted housing contracts but they would be given priority.
The office already has received 65 requests from women who want to reserve space at Cor-
Although GSP-Corbin residents share a dining room and a hall government, separate commissioners have
At Corbin, 310 spaces are available, and at GSP,429 are open. Hall contracts will be sent out next semester.
McEllenie said that a common perception existed among many women that their chances of pledging a sorority were enhanced if they lived at GSP-Corbin.
mythical powers that help them get into a sorority," he said.
Donna Stewart, Panhellenic Association adviser, said that GSP-Corbin women did not have a higher pledging rate than women from other residence halls, apartments or other universities.
McElheney said the surge in popularity for GSP-Corbin began 10-12 years ago and has been common ever since.
'I think some people think there are some
The hall also is a popular destination among the daughters of KU alumnae who lived there during their college years, he said.
"I think the whole ball began rolling when people began saying, 'I had a good experience in Corbin or GSP, and I want you to have one, too.'" he said.
Apparently this wasn't always the case.
Caryl Smith, dean of student life, said that when she came to the University of Kansas in 1972, Corbin was hard to fill.
Debbie Christie, a former Corbin resident who also was a resident assistant at the hall and now is one of its assistant resident directors, said that when she was a high school senior, many of her friends had planned to live at Corbin. This was one reason she decided to live there.
"I would say a lot of the girls go through rush," she said, "but in the years I was an RA nearly half went through rush. So it's not necessarily true that they all go to sororities."
Christie said another draw for GSP-Corbin was the excellence of its programs for residents, but she said other halls had good programs, too.
