Band Day schedule changes CBS telecast forces parade cancellation
By DARRELL PRESTON Staff Reporter
Kansas high school band directors learned yesterday that the KU football team would be seen on network television. They also learned that their bands not be seen marching in downtown Lawrence.
The decision to cancel Saturday's Band Day parade was made early this week because CBS announced plans last week to broadcast Saturday's game against Texas Christian University.
Kickoff for the game was changed from 1:30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. in order to accommodate CBS' schedule. This made it necessary to change the Band Day schedule, said Bob Foster, KU coach. The event will be members representing 65 bands from Kansas and western Missouri will attend the event.
Moving the game up an hour made it impossible to have time for both a parade and a halftime rehearsal, Foster said.
BOTH PEOPLE thought the shoulder should have taken place anyway, should have taken place anyway,
"I've been known to stand in down-pouring rain to watch that parade go by," said Willis McCorkill, 2408 Flint Park. "I think it a shame they cannot to cancel it."
But Foster said the bands would have had to practice their halftime performances.
"To have a game and a parade, we would have had to line people up at 6 a.m. to have an 8 o'clock parade," Foster said. "The 'option that seemed best was to cancel the parade so that everyone would be as effective as possible."
Foster said he thought about 5 percent of the band directors he talked to were disappointed in the cancellation, about 10 percent were mildly disappointed and 85 percent were
"A LOT OF the bands have never been on the street before," he said. "By not having to prepare for the parade, it is of pressure off the band's directors."
Ed Bartley, Lawrence High School band director, said he was not too tired.
"When CBS wants the game time moved, there's nothing the athletic department, the band department or the University can do," Bartley said.
"When I told my kids there would be no parade, they accepted it. There were kids who were disappointed. But there was no revolt. You know, life marches on."
ROD MCINTYRE, Eudora High School band director, said his students were disappointed that the parade had been cancelled because of the idea of being on television.
"It was the parents," who look forward to seeing the parents, who look forward to seeing their future sales.
Dennis Ball, Dighton High School band director, said he was disappointed the parade was canceled. He said he was concerned that not all of his band got to perform Saturday after making the 360-mile trip from western Kansas.
"I feel that when we go that far, all the kids should be doing something.
He said there were no plans to use percussionists in the halftime show, and the pregame show was only going to use high school band's tba players.
"I ONLY HAVE one tuba player," he said.
"Halftime is for people at the stadium, not the people on TV. Some lucky band member might be seen coast to coast, but then again the game is only going to be televised regionally."

With a troubled economy in the United States, wife beating is becoming more prevalent, officials say. And local battered wife shelters and hotline services are doing everything they can to decrease those growing numbers.
"We make sure battered persons can get help any time of the day," said Pat O'Brien, director for the Johnson County Association for Battered Performers. "We inform the public of our services when it is such a hush-hush subject."
A 24-hour hotline for battered wives was established six years ago by the Metropolitan Coalition for Domestic Violence Intervention. Eight agencies in the greater Kansas City area provide shelter, emergency food and clothing and counseling in a community with many former victims funded by churches, charities, supplemental government grants and fundraising events, O'Brien said.
O'Brien said the shelters in Kansas were created out of a concern for the lack of services available to abuse victims. The Kansas City, Mo., shelters could not handle Kansas victims too, she said.
"Our office was created because of the growing number of battered women in our area."
said. "And it was about time Kansas became aware of the seriousness of this matter."
In Douglas County, the Women's Transitional Care Services, which branched from the Johnson County office, provides services for battered women. For safety reasons, the location of the shelter is confidential.
Devona Jennings, WCTS staff member, said, "We have to protect victims from further abuse and we want them to have a quiet place to get their emotions together so they can make necessary plans."
In the last three months, 48 women and 56 children have visited the Douglas County shelter. Jennings said the experience future to decline in the next few months.
"The heat always causes more abuse, and around Thanksgiving and Christmas the numbers go way down," she said.
Like the WTCS, the Johnson County Association for Battered Persons is a tax-exempt, non-profit corporation. The office provides emergency services to victims of abuse. The services include temporary shelter, "crisis intervention," counseling and continual services such as alcoholism counseling, referral services to other social agencies and support groups, O'Brien said. The hotline number for battered persons in Lawrence is 913-841-6887; in
Johnson County, Kan., 913-913-1633;
and in Kansas City, Mo. 814-261-0511.
O'Brien said statistics about battered women varied because it was believed that only one in 10 women actually reported the abuse.
O'Brien said, "Experts believe that about 1.8 million women are battered each year. And some figures indicate that someone is physically or mentally abused every 18 seconds of the day. They say directly how high the figures really are."
Mary Ann Jakosa, hotline representative, said 70 percent of reported battered women had been abused more than once. And one-third of the women do seek help at a shelter eventually meet their husbands or boyfriends, she said.
But the most surprising statistic of all is the high number of abuse victims on
college campuses all over the country, O'Brien said.
"Studies show that 25 percent of all students have been confronted with some type of abuse," O'Brien said. For example, she said, at Arizona State University, 60 percent of those students had an abusive sign of love, and 33 percent said biting or being bitten improved their relationship.
The Lawrence shelter reported, however, that very few students contacted them.
Jaksa said, "You see, some women cannot conceive what life would be like without their husbands. They are afraid of giving up so many things, and they question its security is jeopardized, so they convince themselves the problem will disappear."

"This cold front is having a hard time making it south right now," said Bills. "What we're seeing is a transition out of the lake and into cool fall-like weather."
Cooler weather will remain in the area for the next several days, and a warming trend should emerge near the end of the week, according to Phillip Bills, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Toneka.
Bills said the front, which stretched from the Kansas City area to Amarillo, Texas, last night, had not moved in 24 hours. He said it was expected to
