Field house floor care to delay Yes concert
Reporter
By JANET MAJURF
Doors at Allen Field House probably won't open for tomorrow's Yes concert until 8:45 p.m., Rick Lindeman, director of SUAC careers, said yesterday.
The women's basketball team has a game in the field house before the concert. Lindman said the game should be over about 8:15 p.m., after which the field house must be cleared so that a fire proof tarp could be placed over the new artificial floor.
Tickets for the concert say it will begin at 8 p.m., some advertisements say it begins at 9 p.m., and Lindeman says it probably won't get started until 9:30 p.m.
"It it depends on how long it takes to spread the tarp," L曼德man said.
People will be allowed to sit on the floor for the concert, so the tarp must be put down to protect the new rubberized surface. The tarp can also be used in a new floor would cause permanent marks.
Security forces will patrol the floor area for smokers. People attending the concert will be told to sit in the permanent bleachers if they wish to smoke, Lindeman said.
He said the delay in starting the concert might cause some confusion so special security personnel will be hired for the show.
Lindeman said there shouldn't be any
problems getting the show set up. A

In the past, building and grounds personnel have taken two or three days to build stages for concerts, and another day or two to tear them down. The modular stage has been replaced by a glass stage night, and clear the field house for the men's basketball game Saturday night.
Lindeman said the concert's being held proved that things could be flexible. Everyone concerned has been very cooperative about the last-minute affair,

Promoters to the SUA office two weeks ago to see whether Yes could play at KU after the group had canceled an engagement elsewhere.
Because it is a promoter's show, SUA won't lose any money no matter how sales go, Lindeman said. SUA was guaranteed a flat fee for arranging the concert.
The concert is being advertised on radio stations in Kansas City, Topeka, Lawrence, Junction City and Wichita. The 8:45 p.m. opening means that those concert-goers who arrive early for general-admission seats will be in for a long wait in the cold.
Rentals give shortcut to long-term investments
Renorter

If you need a chain saw or an electric sander they've got one. If you need a sledge hammer or a paint compressor, they've got that, too. As a matter of fact, if you need just about any tool imaginable, short of an atom smasher, they've probably got it.
Who are they? They're three Lawrence equipment rental companies.
"We rent a lot of outhouses. Matter of fact, that's the big end of our business," he said.
John Pierson, owner of A-1 Rental, said yesterday that he rented "everything from champagne glasses to outhouses, and everything in between."
The three rental shops are a handyman's dream. They have equipment ranging from a nail gun to a vacuum cleaner.
Pierson said many of his customers were home and apartment handymen who wanted to rent tools they didn't use often or that were too expensive to buv.
The other rental stores are Anderson
Rentals and Jones Farm Supply and
Rent-A-List.
Pierson said business was heaviest at the beginning of the school year, but students were most likely to be moving.
All three rental stores rent moving vans and an assortment of heavy tools.
