KU Band to perform at Royals' playoff
By Liz Maggard Of the Kansan staff
Practices at 7 a.m. aren't standard procedure for the KU Marching Band.
However, three big performances in three cities in two states in three days are bound to force some changes. The director of KU, banda, said yesterday.
The 7 a.m. practice will be tomorrow at Iowa State University's Cyclone Stadium in Ames, Iowa, Foster said.
"That's the latest the Iowa State people would let us have the field to practice," he said.
The early practice will be a rehearsal for the band's halftime performance at the KU-Jowa State football game tomorrow, Foster said.
The game, which will be televised regionally, will start at 11:40 a.m.
Ames is only one stop on the KU band's whirlwind tour of Iowa and Missouri this weekend.
Tonight, the band will be at Valley High School in West Des Moines, Iowa, and Sunday it will travel to Royals Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., for the Kansas City Royals playoff game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
At 5 p.m. today, band members will be the guests of Valley High band members at a potluck dinner.
The trip starts today at 10:30 a.m. when the band leaves the University
Later, KU will perform with the Valley High Marchmasters band during halftime of the Valley High football game. After the game, KU band members will be paired with Valley
High band members to spend the night as guests in their homes.
Randy Timm, M. Vernon, Iowa, sophomore, who plays French horn in the KU band, said the band's trip to England was a great recruitment opportunity.
Larry Green, Valley High band director, said that housing the KU band entourage was a big undertaking.
"I was drum major at Mount Vernon, and the two KU drum majors stayed overnight at my house," he said. "They convinced me to come to KU and try out for the band."
He said he was persuaded to come to KU when the KU band performed at Mt. Vernon High School two years ago.
The KU band will leave Valley High at 6 a.m. to get to ISU for the 7 a.m. practice.
"I was afraid it wouldn't happen," he said. "I was beginning to think I'd

Timm said he wasn't looking forward to practicing that early in the morning but knew it would help the band's performance.
have to find a warehouse to put them all in."
"Any way that we can practice is OK with me, because we really want to blow the Iowa State band off the field," he said.
Green said that at the time the KU band was heading for Ames, the Marchmasters would be traveling in the opposite direction.
"We will be going to Newton, Iowa, for the statewide band championships," he said.
The KU band will return to about
10:30 p.m. tomorrow to Lawrence.
Sunday, the band will leave Lawrence at 11 a.m. for Kansas City.
The band will perform during pregame ceremonies at the fifth playoff game between the Royals and the Blue Jays.
Foster said the band would play the two national anthems, "Oh Canada" and "The Star Spangled Banner," as well as excerpts from the Vanderbilt and Eastern Illinois halftime shows.
Timm said that as a converted Royals fan, he was looking forward to performing at the game.
"I'm from an area where everyone is a Cubs fan, but I've grown to be a Royals fan very quickly," he said. "I'll have to start collecting some Royals paraphernalia. All I have is Cubs."
Cancer study done on sects
By Stefani Day Of the Kansan staff
By Stefani Dav
Mormons, Seventh-day Adventists and Protestant clergy are models in providing hope for cancer prevention, a scientist from the Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, told cancer researchers yesterday.
The scientist, John Cairns, in a summary of the International Conference on Mechanisms of Antimutagenesis and Anticarcinogenesis, said the cancer rates of Mormons, Seventh-day Adventists and Protestant clergymen were half the national average, which indicated that presence of cancer was even though causes of cancer weren't understood yet.
Prevention of cancer was the focus of the five-day conference, which brought together more than 200 scientists from all over the world to the Holiday Inn Holidome, 200 McDonald Drive.
About 35 speakers presented papers ranging from the protective effects of human saliva to the natural toxicity of plants.
"The reason most of you are here and haven't died already— as you would have 150 years ago — isn't that you were saved from some lethal disease," he said. "It is because you haven't got that lethal disease."
"We're committed really to that notion of prevention." The whole principle behind much of cancer research rests on the observation that there are few cancers that are not common in some parts of the world and rare somewhere else, Cairns said. This, and the fact that
pockets of a country can have a much lower cancer rate, indicates that environmental factors are involved
"We know that it is possible to head to some kind of perfection," he said.
Hill and canoe generally say best before "deeming," "loving," and "making" in aaffect, industrialized nations — is heading to some kind of Garden of Eden of perfection where things will be somewhat better, "he said."
Conferences such as this one will be important in the search for such "perfection." Many people conduct small tests that aren't individually adequate, Cairns said, but benefits can come from drawing these people together.
Alexander Hollauer, of the Council for Research Planning in Biological Sciences Inc. and one of the primary organizers of the conference, said the conference would fuel researchers' imaginations.
"This was a very good meeting in many ways because people came from all over the world — from 20 countries, from some of the most important laboratories," he said after the conference.
"This will have a great influence on people now go home and think about. It's where you get your ideas."
Del Shankel, KU professor of biochemistry and conference coordinator, said some of the scientists probably would take new directions in their research after hearing some of the speeches.
"I think they will have some new insights that will expand current efforts," he said.
Seven new Senators named but only three go to meeting
By Bonnie Snyder Of the Kansan staff
Seven replacement senators should have received their first inside look at Student Senate on Wednesday. The new senators were at the meeting.
Graduations, suspensions and resignations have left about 20 vacant seats in the Senate, which has 66 seats. The next highest vote-getters from the 1984 fail elections were offered the empty seats.
Henry Schwaller, Nunemaker senator, said yesterday that he had never attended a Senate meeting before Wednesday.
He said he enjoyed the meeting but was surprised that the Senate was "bogged down with unnecessary prejudices." Some worthwhile bills were defeated because the debate narrowed to petty arguments, Schweller said.
Dan Pope, engineering senator,
said he was impressed by the lack
of personal attacks during the
meeting.
Clarissa Birch, graduate senator, said, "I was impressed with the way they took care of business."
"It was longer than I expected," Pope said of the $ \frac{5}{2} $ - hour meeting, "but then I guess that happens."
He said if he could get to the next meeting, he wanted to introduce bills to take KU out of Associated Students of Kansas, take away funds from Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas and get rid of the $28 mandatory student fee.
Other new senators are Roberta Cavitt, education senator; Vahid Hesay, graduate senator, and Tim Soper, liberal arts and sciences senator. All three were unavailable for comment.
Bryan Daniel, law senator, didn't attend the meeting because of car troubles.
Alison Young, Senate executive secretary, said Cavitt and Soper had excused absences from the meeting.
Stephan KU's GOP will meet
By Bob Tinsley Of the Kansan staff
The KU College Republicans hope to learn from the leadership experience of several state leaders whom they have invited to attend a leadership conference tomorrow.
The conference is from 8 a.m. to
2:30 p.m. in the Jayhawk Room of
the Kansas Union, Kansas Attorney
can will give a speech at 8:45 a.m.
A spokesman for the attorney general's office said yesterday that no topic had been announced for Stephan's speech.
Other speakers include Kansas House Speaker Mike Hayden, R-Atwood, and former congressman Jim Jeffries.
Jim Monty, chairman of publicity for the KU College Republicans, said that many of the group's members had just joined this year.
Speakers will appear throughout the day at intervals of 20-30 minutes, Monty said. The public is invited to a lasagna luncheon at 11:30 a.m. at a cost of $9. Hayden is the scheduled luncheon speaker.
Monty said the conference was a good opportunity for aspiring political leaders to meet and establish relationships with experienced leaders.
"They can tell you how to get started," he said.
Annual dues for memberships in the group are $5.
He said that recently the group had been trying to work more closely with the KU Democrats. He hoped cooperation would help members become better-informed politically.
"We're not enemies or anything," he said. "We're the mainstream of politically minded people on campus, and we figure it can only make us better because we can hear speakers who don't share our own point of view."
