John Solbach, incumbent Dernocatic state representative for the 45th District, said yesterday that he would support legislation to allow teachers in his district an official group by the KU governance system.
with the economic problems facing classified employees and said that Solbach voted against a proposed state spending lid in the last legislative session.
"Your representatives have a responsibility to put a hold on economic problems." Snyder said. "State government must take the bull by the horns."
"I feel it is important to have a balanced budget with an adequate tax base to support the operation of government," Solbach said.
Willie Amison, Republican challenger to Democrat Betty Jo Charlton in the 46th District, said continued support of education was his most important concern.

lence. The intensity grows to a tumultuous climax that mimics the roar of a human crowd. Then Favors plays a tidy bass figure, getting a rotat, pleasant sound, and Michel tends some full horn playing, though the louder he plays, the weaker his intonation becomes. Suddenly, Moye sets up a pattern in 6 and an African-based clan, reminiscent of Randy Westen's "African Cookbook." He uses a simple set of cymbals, with the saxes barking out a three-note centering figure while Bowie's dripping at the edges trumpet spooks crackling phrases. A free-for-all, with the reedmen madly playing one who is unaware of it, coated by a short, colorful ensemble passage—part swing, part marchei—that closes the piece. "Old Time Southside Street Dance" and "Full Force" are also in who knows what name, but which we surmise is for Charles Mingus, in contrast to the others, evoking a feeling of unlefterted Thirties swing, with Favors' bouncing notes underprinting a brazil, flutter tongue, rattle and rattle support. In the manner of the Great Cootie Williams, the marvelous trumpeter who played with Ellington for decades, Bowie whispers, growls, shouts, and expounds during this somehow simplest simplicity, a sure sense of noise, and an honest, woody sound.

MARTHA AND THE MUFFINS

(Virgin) Funny names do not the New Wave make. It's a point proved in spades by Toronto's Martha and the Muffins, along with Pearl Harbor and New York City, as well. Walls, Jim Winio and the Shades and a distressing collection of others. Once the mid Seventies frenzy of Punk had spent itself, groups of this ilk were faced with a crisis of direction. In the binary world of rock bands, What we are witnessing here is the birth of a new generation of Ys. Genesis and Gentle Giant. That the vaunted new wave has become the repository for such nerdish obsections is an indication of how rock horizons have really become.
The problem here is not so much the Muffins as Martha—actually two Marathas, both vocally indisputable instrumentally, the band acquits itself ablely enough. The mix is somewhere on the mellow side of the Mot

THE ROOTS OF ROCK &
ROLL
Various Artists
(*Navy*) We give away more copies than we sell, means a *sailor* publicist. Too bad, because nine mice double the best secret in Rock & Roll
The Roots was begun in 1977 and the fresh volume has emerged every three months since its founding in the Rocky and Roll park, presents an amalgam of early styles to
which later volumes are entirely devoted. Wild Bill Moore, a Texas tenor sax player kicks off side one with her We're Gonna Roll, one of the earliest references to R&R in a boogie wogie piano, screaming声 and upraprising vocal measures met by horn. Other noteworthy artists introduced in this set are sax legend and wild man Big Jay McNeely, pianist/writer extraordinaire Sam Eckert, and an equally embodytined talented and important blues singer from the Fifties, Big Maybelline. For the variety included, from very early years, she flashes in front sheeps (n突扬 Brown, etc.) to straight ahead boogie wogie rock this LP is a perfect cross example of roots music. And as with all Roots writers, well written liter notes are invaluable.
Volume 5 : Ladies Sing the Blues (featuring Big Maggie, Little Eater, Albina Jones, Miss Bipassio and Linda Hopkins) is a must have primarily because she's one of the most tracked singers of all time. Born Mabel Smith in 1924, she reduced the 1958 Newport Jazz Festival to ashes with her performance. Unfortunately she died in 1972. She is rarely missed.
**Hankers & Screamers** (vol. 6) is perhaps the most distinctive Rock & Roll album in the series. This instrumental LP of very early (mostly around the turn of the century) laments (not the short blond mutant). Hal Singer, Big Jay McNeely (the main
argument for this set) and other important sax screamers. McNeely's ferocious sax attacks coupled with some of the rocky vocals from the powerful statements indeed. In a sense, this record hints at a very primitive form of jazz rock highly improvised yet controlled by the arrangement sax playing is against jazza tradition 'walking back' to an earlier style with a solid 'oil beat'. Unflint stuff
also uplifting (to say the least) are four sides of Sam Price & the Rock Band vol. 7). Backed by some of the top guitarists in the rock scene, such as bass legend King Curtis and jazz guitarist Mickey Baker and Kenny Burrell, Price is a wonderfully versatile woofer who can play all five of our all 29 tunes). This set, mostly from 1956-57, features Curts at his absolute best, his stunts, tows and screams on stage, as well as the instrumental voice. When Sam Price and friends hit their boogie woggie stride on tracks like *Roll em Sam*, B-bar Q Sax, nothing else seems to matter.
The Theaters (vol. 9) just released presents from like I B Borg Ferguson, Nappy Brown and Gretaut Moore in their earliest and most past moments showing the evolution to come of R&B based rock singers
Each release in this series is an important one and several are of the Highest Order of Rock & Roll importance. May it never end.

Remember, there may be other candidates with great taste, but Schlitz Malt Liquor is the only one that tastes great!
When it comes to campaign charisma, nobody draws crowds like "The Bull". Schlitz Malt Liquor is a proven vote-getter at campus parties through-out the country. This great change-of-pace drink has a taste that politicos of all persuasions can rally around.

The Senate voted to allocate Blacks in Communication an additional $240 for a tape recorder and cassettes for use in the group's radio show, measuring its total supplementary allocation to $290.
The Senate also voted to eliminate KU's Model UN allocation of $8.70 for postage and printing.

classified senator, said.
Debate on the motion included whether senators could accurately represent the 1,400 classified employees at the University and whether they would actively support a candidate's campaign.
In other action, the Senate voted to write a third letter to the Kansas Board of Regents requesting that it place a member of the boarded staff on the chancellor search committee.
O'Neill said there had been no response from Bernard Franklin, Regents chairman, to a letter sent in July requesting the addition to the committee.
The search committee is made up of faculty, students and alumni and was chosen by the Board of Regents.
O'Neill said the third letter would say, "I would like the courtesy of a response."
She said that Acting Chancellor Del Shankler recommended the search committee allow classified members to meet with finalists if the Regents did not approve the change.
Jacob Kleinberg, search committee chairman, has said he has not heard from the chancellor
Classified representatives would submit their recommendations for chancellor to the search committee after meeting with the finalists, O'Neill said.
The American Association of University Professors also has asked for meetings with the finalists for chancellor, and one senator suggested the groups work together.
