And there was political commentary.
Lauree Roper, Lawrence resident, said she liked the political statements made by some of the songs.
A song by Melvin Litton,
Lawrence, set several scenes: the
jungles of the Third World with
young men on the run, a street in
Soweto where a young man lies shot,
and a bankrupt farmer drives in
a tractorcade while rock 'n' roll feeds
And as all of this happens, most people sit "high and dry above the waters," he sang.
But politics wasn't the only topic. There also were songs of love, loneliness, work and even songwriting.
First prize for the contest was $100

Money that Kaw Valley Songwriters received from Student Senate in 1985 helped the organization get off the ground. Smith said. The group, which received $450 in 1985, did not reapply this year
Most of the 22 participants were Lawrence residents. However, songwriters from Topeka, McClouth, Kansas City, Kan., St. Louis, Mo., and Austin, Texas, did attend.
Smith said alternative folk music was growing in popularity because of the emphasis placed on the meaning of the songs.

One of the reasons for the program's existence is to help students become familiar with the University.
"We have to compete with other universities that are trying to attract the same students," he said.

SCOREMEB provides opportunities for minority students with an interest in engineering to obtain financial aid; academic advice, support and motivation; placement; and tutorial assistance.
Once the student is here, then retention becomes another task, said Florence Boldridge, director of the Student Council for Recruiting, Motivating and Educating Minority Engineers.
And student retention is the main reason SCoMREBE exists, Boldridge said.
Boldridge said that only 1 percent of the total number of engineers in the United States were minorities. Because the percentage is not representative of the minority population, programs are necessary to increase the interest of students she said.
Bob Sanders, associate professor of biochemistry, said the same was true for his area of interest.
the general population.'
Every summer since 1980, Sanders has been the project director of the University's Summer Minority High School Research Training Apprenticeship Program, in which eight or nine students from Kansas high schools spend eight weeks on the KU campus.
The program, financed by a grant from the National Institute of Health, offers intense instruction in science and math and allows students to gain research training in the health-related sciences. The students receive a stipend for their work in the program.
So far, 27 students have gone through the program, Sanders said. Fourteen are now attending KU.
"If you look at the number of minorities in the area of science, it is very low," he said. "And it is not representative of the number of minorities in

Ronie Tang, Hong Kong senior,
said many parents of Hong Kong college
students wanted their children
to go to U.S. universities.
Singh also said that returning students' comments about the University could cause students to consider enrolling here.
International politics also may play a role in bringing students to the United States.

In 1997, Britain will turn Hong Kong, its colony, over to China, she said, and many Hong Kong citizens think the Chinese government cannot properly govern the colony.
Voters
The number of KU students from Hong Kong rose from 33 last year to 36 this year, an increase of 9.1 percent.
Goff said.
The biggest increase in an individual group of foreign students occurred with the Malaysians, whose number increased 29.7 percent, from 158 last year to 205 this year.

The number of Malaysians on campus has increased steadily over the years. The increase often can be attributed to Malaysian students who transfer to KU from other schools.
Voters also may register at the Democrat Headquarters, in Holiday Plaza, 2449 Iowa St. Deborah Burns, vice chairman of the Douglas County Democratic committee, said a few people had registered at the office.
Goff said, "I think it's good service that we're both offering."
