Sedalia festival suit
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—A private guard and security service filed a $3 million lawsuit against the promoters of last summer's zark Music Festival at Sedalia, Mo.
Wells Fargo Guard Service filled the suit and pleaded that the promoter had not read it, broke their contract with Wells Fargo and caused its reputation.
The festival at the Missouri State Fairgrounds last July turned into what a state investigation described as a hard rock org with drugs, booze and promiscuous sex. The peak crowd during the three-day event drew over 18,000,75,000 more than promoters had led Wells Fargo to expect.

TOPEAK-The activities of a potential Ku Klux Klan organizer in Kansas don't violate state law, Atty. Gen Curt Schneider ruled tuesday.

Some of the finest and most influential American literature came out of the South after World War I, but why it flowered at times is unclear, according to C. Vann Woodward.

Woodward, the Sterling Professor of History at Yale University, spoke on the Southern Renaissance at the Humanities Lectures Series Tuesday night.
The Southern Renaissance had its beginning between the two World Wars, Woodward said. In Nashville, a group of young poets who called themselves the Fugitives helped to nurture a Southern tradition in literature.
"I like to think of 1928." Woodward said, and those years immediately following as well. "I'll never forget."
WOODWARD SAID 1929 was the year of William Faulkner's "Sartoris," and "The Sound and the Fury," with Faulkner's "Sanctuary," "As I Lay Dying" and "Light in August" only a few years away. He said 1929 was also the year of Thomas Wolfe's first novel, "Look Homeward, Angel," and Faulkner's octorrer's *Flowered Jawing* and *Flowering Jaws* works by Southern writers such as Andrew Lyte, Lillian Hammel and Robert Penn Warren.
Together with already established authors Allen Tate, Donald Davidson and John Crow Ransom, these writers have given us three or four generations, Woodward said.
"THEIR INFLUENCE fluctuated over that period," he said, "as did their productivity, and full recognition of the stature of the same was slow in coming."
There have been many theories of why there was a Southern Renaissance, but most of them, Woodward said, don't seem to explain the phenomenon from the same region happened to become so influential during the same period. And there may not be an explanation, he said, just as no one can explain why Sophocles, Aeschylus and Euripides all lived in the same era.
THE THEORY THAT the Southern writers were defending the South is one frequently advanced, but it wasn't defending the South that brought them together.
Woodward said. They became defensive about their region, he said, after the Scoop
The 'Scopes trial at Dayton, Tenn., brought the whole tribe of South-baiters andboo-jerbers, led by Menchen himself, to Nashville's doorstep. "Woodward said."
It was then, he said, that some of the Southern writers began an intellectual offensive against the types of anti-Southern attitudes that were being printed in stories in magazines like H. L. Menchens "The American Mercury." The Southern writers wanted to contrast a active region to the giant industrial areas of other parts of the country, but they must that they were defending Woodward, either one lost or gall sought.

Boxes installed for convenient ticket payment
Paying campus traffic tickets and avoiding late payment penalties should now be easier for University of Kansas students and faculty.
Six collection boxes for University traffic fines have been installed on campus, Phil Frickey, chairman of the Parking and Traffic board, said last week.
Last spring, he said, a Student Senate task force on parking decided to install the new parking system.
Payment of fines will now be easier, Frickey said, because the 14-day limit can
Fines are $5 if paid before 14 days and $9 after that time.
Envelopes for paying fines are available at the boxes, which are blue and red.
Boxes are situated in front of McColum, Templar, Cappin-O'Leary and GSP-Corbin balls at the intersection of Jayhawk and Sunflower Road; and the Kansas Union.
Fines also can be paid in the lobby of Hoch Auditorium.
At the same time, Ford vetoed a bill that would stip him for 90 days of his authority to govern in California.
WASHINGTON (AP) - Setting a May 1 goal for an energy policy compromise with Congress, President Gerald R. Ford postponed new oil tariff hikes Tuesday and agreed to delay lifting price controls on much domestically produced petroleum.
Specifically, these were Ford's major concessions to congressional Democrats:
The conciliatory moves, which were urged upon him by leaders of the Democratic-controlled Congress, were also a compromise energy blueprint by May 1.
— An added oil tariff of $1 a barrel that took effect last Saturday and a similar increase scheduled for April 1 were postponed for 60 days. However, Ford's initial
Feb. $1-a-barrel tariff boost remains in effect.
The President backed away from his stated intention to remove on April 1 price increase for all oil products, comes from production sources developed prior to March 1972. This oil, now priced at $2.58 a barrel, compared to $10.50 to $14 for a barrel or $14 to $18 for a two-thirds of domestic production.
Ford, Congress compromise on oil tariff
Ford, appearing before television cameras in his Oval Office, made no announcement of the oil price delay, but Federal Energy Administrator Frank Zarb said, "The plan to decontrol old oil will not go forward May 1, at the earliest."
Zarb said Ford acted to "remove any possible ingredient of confrontation" with
Ford met in a two-hour working breakfast Tuesday with the 70 first-term Democrats in
the house. His guests said they found an eagerness to compromise on the part of Ford and key aides who took part in the session.
At the Capitol, House Speaker Carl Albert said Ford telephoned him Monday night to say he wouldn't be ready immediately to talk more about possible agreements on an energy program, as they had discussed it earlier. The talked might be resumed Monday.
White House press secretary Ron Nessen said the administration thought a proposed energy program chief sponsored by Al Uliman, D-Dore., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, would provide an offer or discussion of a possible compromise.
Ulman's plan calls for a tax hike in several steps of 40 cents a gallon on gasoline.

Woodward said he favored an explanation of the Southern Renaissance made by Allen Tate, one of the Fugitive poets. Tate said, according to Woodward, that the South reiterated its national identity at the same time glanced backward as it stepped over the border. That glance, Tate
Woodward noted that one of Faulkner's characters once said, "The past is never dead. It's not even past."
