X marked the spot in weekend show
By Stefani Day Of the Kansan staff
The rock band X played in Lawrence for the first time Saturday night and many spectators seemed to think the show was worth the wait.
X. a band from Los Angeles that plays last, straightforward rock 'n' roll, performed in the Kansas Union Ballroom to a sellout crowd of 1,200 people.
"They were great," was the sentiment heard most.
Exene Cervenka, lead singer,
dressed in a black-belted mini and
rhinestone tiara, belted out one hard
and fast song after another.
D. J. Bonebrake provided the steady backbeat, and Billy Zoom played guitar in his now-predictable, stone-still crouch with an occasional smile or wink at the crowd.
"They used to cut my head off in photos of the band," Zoom said Saturday, "so I started stooping down to get my head lower than Exen'e's."
A KU student reported the theft of a 1983 BMW automobile, valued at $12,000, from the 1400 block of Ohio Street between 1 p.m. Thursday and 1 p.m. Friday. Lawrence-police said yesterday that they had no suspects.
On the Record
John Doe, bass player and Exenke's husband, looked like Peter Fonda in "Easy Rider," with his black leather pants and fastback black sunglasses. He dedicated the second song to the opening band, Tex and the Horseheads, who received a less-than-enthusiastic response from the audience. The song, "We're Having Much More Fun," set the tone for the night, and the fun didn't stop for nearly 1½ hours.
The concert covered a range of songs from "Los Angeles" and "Johnny Hit and Run Pauline," from X's first album, to songs from its lastest album, "Ain't Love Grand."
Before the concert, fans had speculated about what the group might play. Recently many have criticized X for making music videos, for becoming polished and professional, for "selling out."
Nancy Morales, Kansas City, Kan., senior, she said she was a long time Xfm and didn't especially like the new turn in the band's music.
"They wanted to get a recording contract instead of being true to the music," she said.
A movie camera, video cassette recorder and tripod, together valued at $1,935, were stolen from an apartment in the 2000 block of West 27th Street, police said.
Exene said a band had to change to keen from getting bored.
"You don't want to be playing basement clubs all your life," she said. "I'm almost 30 years old. What am I supposed to do?"
"I'm happy. I think we're a really good band, and I'm proud of our songs. After all, every time we do 'We're Desperate. I always feel like, Yes. We're the band that did "We're Desperate." That's us, and I don't care what anybody says.
"We're the band that did 'Johnny Hit and Run Pauline.' And anybody who doesn't like us now is just a snob, in my opinion."
Some X fans say the band hasn't changed — it just gets more airplay on radio stations now.
"They're more polished sounding," said Kellie Wells, Kansas City, Kan. "They're a little more accessible to commercial airwaves.
Maybe the old stuff will get played now.
Jon Gilchrist, St. Joseph, Mo., sophomore, said he thought X was being criticized because it had lasted longer than most progressive rock bands.
"If they were new, people would be saying they're just as crazy as they used to be," he said.
The group has been on this tour for three weeks, and after Saturday's show, it traveled to Champaign, IL, to play for the FarmAid benefit fund. It visited X United States until tour to the United States until mid-December.
Whether or not the sound is the same, X always has been and still is a band known more for its live performances than its recordings.
"And then we're going to go to Europe in January," she said. "And then when we come back from that — after six or seven weeks — we're going to go to the United States again."
Public employees association forms PAC
HUTCHINSON — The Kansas Association of Public Employees approved the formation of a political action committee Saturday at its annual state general assembly.
From staff and wire reports
Charles Dodson, executive director of KAPE, said Saturday that the committee was the first step public employees had made toward getting involved in state political affairs.
"This is one of the boldest steps ever taken by public employees," he said. "We're saying we've had it. We're not going to take it. We're going out and supporting the candidates that can and will help public employees."
KAPE's membership has grown from 700 to about 5,000 in the past 18 months.
KAPE established the committee so that it could financially support candidates for state offices. The committee will be the Public Employees Action Committee, or PEAC.
Neva Entrikin, a member of the state board of directors for KAPE and administrative assistant in the KU department of art history, said KAPE's future looked bright. She said immediate plans for the group included increasing membership and raising money for the political action committee.
Jury selection to start in trial for conspiracy
United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Federal attorneys say nine men scheduled to stand trial today in the Argent Corp. skimming conspiracy are classic examples of corruption involving organized crime and Teamsters.
Authorities say the defendants took money from casinos before it was taxed or recorded as income.
The government contends organized crime groups plotted to skim more than $2 million from Las Vegas casinos that formerly were controlled by the Argent Corp., which had received loans from the Teamsters.
Selection of 12 jurrors and four alternates is to begin at 9:30 a.m. in U.S. District Court. Testimony is expected to begin Thursday.
Deluna is serving a 30-year prison term on a previous skimming conviction involving the Tropicana Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.
U. S. District Judge Joseph E. Stevens Jr. predicted the trial may last three to four months.
Kansas Citan Carl Angelo DeLuma, 58 will be on trial along with Chicago residents Joseph John Alupa, 77; John P. Cerone, 71; Joseph Lombardo, 56; and Angelo LaPietra, 60. On trial from Milwaukee will be Frank Peter Balistrieri, 67; and his two sons, Joseph P. Balistrieri, 45; and John Joseph Baliistrieri, 37. Also on trial will be Milton John Rockman, 73. Cleveland.
The government alleges that in 1974 Allen R. Glick, through the influence of the late Nick Civella of Kansas City, Aiuppa and Frank Balstirri, obtained a $82.8 million loan from the Teamsters Union Central States Pension Fund to buy the Recrion Corp.

A CONCISE REPLY TO CHRISTIANITY
Impossible Evidence
An episode is recounted in the twentieth chapter of John and a certain Thomas is quoted as saying, "My Lord and my God." In interpreting this, Christians maintain that Thomas was addressing Jesus by both of these titles. The Muslim would have no objection to the term "Lord." As the Bible explains, the word means "master" and Sarah is said to have called her husband Abraham by this title (1 Peter 3:6). The suggestion that Thomas addressed Jesus as literally being God is a different matter. Jesus has already pointed out that the Hebrew scriptures themselves address men as "gods" (John 10:34; Psalms 82:6). This would allow for Thomas' use of the term. However, Paul gave new rules in 1 Corinthians chapter 8, saying that there are many lords and many gods ...yet for us there is but one God, the Father...and the Lord, Jesus Christ..." Christians apply this verse to sort out the ambiguities of Thomas' expression. But now we are left with an orthodox doctrine, namely that Jesus is the Father. This ancient heresy has been branded by the church as Patripassianism, Monarchianism, or Sabellianism. The impossibility of an orthodox interpretation of Thomas is now apparent.
The distinction between Father and Son is essential to the doctrine of the Trinity. This distinction is blurred again when John 14:9 is pressed into service. Here Jesus' reply to a man named Phillip is recorded as, "He who has seen me has seen the Father." A strictly literal explication would mean the unacceptable doctrine that Jesus is the Father. So interpreters say that "Father" is here equivalent to "God". However, we cannot possibly be obliged to understand that Jesus meant to say that seeing him was exactly the same as seeing God because he was God. Our reason is found in the contrariety of John 5:37. Here he told a crowd about the Father saying, "You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen his face."
