Seals, Crofts . . .

cup of coffee in the other he alternately lifted the pipe and then the cup to his mouth.
Seals kept his down, with his cap (a permanent fixure on his head) almost covering his eyes. Occasionally, he lifted his arm and added a comment or an anecdote of his own.
Seals and Crofts recently wrote a song that expressed their views on abortion. It has been criticized by some women's organizations and banned from some radio stations.
"We wanted to remind people that life is a precious thing," he said.
Crofts said they wrote the song because they believed that life began at the moment of conception and because they wanted to offer guidance to people who were uninterested.
CROFTS SAID THAT although they had been criticized by some women's groups, male response to the song had been 95 per cent positive.
One group of doctors and nurses showed their approval by sending them 6,000 roses, their flowers.
"We knew that abortion was a controversial subject, but there were a lot of records out that made adultery look like the greatest thing in the world," Crofts said.
Although Seals and Crofts can compose melodies in their heads, neither one knows how to write music. This often presents problems, they said.
Seals and Crofts soldom choose a topic and then write a song about it. They usually write whatever came into their minds, Seals said.
Seals told about a similar experience. He said he was driving his car when he thought of the perfect melody for lyrics they had written,
he said he hummed the tune for 35 miles until he got home and then hummed it over again.
Seals said that playing and singing required concentration. He said that to make their type of music sound good, the balance between voices' and instruments had to be right and they had to sing perfectly on key.
COLUMBIA AND WARNER BROTHERS, almost feuded over their contract, Crofts said. Although Columbia and Warner Brothers, both Crofts signed with Warner Brothers.
"Warner Brothers was more into what we wanted to do," said Crofts.
Both performers agreed that the audience changed the most since they began play.
Crofts said that their audience was mainly 18 to 22-year-olds, but that recently, both younger and older people had begun listening to them.
Seals said it was hard to stereotype their audience. He said the typical concert audience represented a conglomeration of lifestyles and age groups.
"It's hard to analyze what your audience is unless you talk to them personally," said Crawford.
THE SEALS AND CROFTs road group seemed more like a close-knit family. Crofts in-law is the groups' road manager. Walter Heath, who was scheduled to appear with Seals and Crofts, is Seals' brother-in-law.
Crofts and his wife met while she was a singer with one of his groups, the Dawnin'
Seals and Crofts achieved national recognition when two of their singles, "Summer Breeze" and "Hummingbird" (which contained phrases from some of the acts) were played on the charts, "Diamond Girl," which followed, sold a million copies in four days.
President Ford is allening Congress by failing to capitalize on his many congressional contacts, Rep. Martha Keys, who chaired district congresswoman, said Thursday night.

Keys says Ford slights Congress
By DIERCK CASSELMAN
"It's quite astonishing that a president who served in Congress for 25 years is not using this to his advantage." Keys said. "He was an outsider between the Congress and the White House."
Keys spoke to about 50 persons at the annual Spring Symposium of the University of Kansas Commission on the Status of Women, during a spring symposium was "Women in Politics."
Keys said Congress had been anything but "do-noting," a charge she said Ford had used liberally. After organizing in only six of the 16 states, Ford was 16 of which are very important, she said.
KEYS SAID RECENT congressional reforms were misunderstood by many people. Because new congressmen meet in caucus, they are mistakenly assumed to be elitist, she said, and reforms like the abolishing of the seniority system are mistakenly called products of radical House freshmen.
She said the reforms didn't come from the 92 new members alone, but a widespread feeling of change and need for reform gripped veteran congressmen as well.
"For the first time new members were required to accept committee" she said.
"For the first time new members were appointed to every committee," she said. Keys, the first Kusan to serve on the committee, was born in 1946 and the only current woman member, said the tightness of the powerful committee had been broken.
"Now ideas other than the chairman's are
Professors hire lawyer for hearings
The hiring of a lawyer to represent the Lawrence chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AUP) at upcoming collective bargaining meetings. The Board employees Relations Board was announced Thursday by the AUP's executive committee.
Frances Ingemann, AAUP chairman,
said the committee had hired InaR Horton,
208-CC Bristol Terrace, as the AAUP's legal representative.
In other business, the committee discussed the tax status of summer research grants. Ingemann said that according to the IRS, summer research grants to professors were taxable because they were considered salary rather than gifts.
A motion to allow the executive committee to ask for legislation to change the category under which research research are listed was tabled by the committee.
If the research grants could be considered as educational grants rather than salary grants, it would be more appropriate.

The Navy has a special program for college sophomore men who are majoring in engineering, math or a physical science. If you're accepted for the Navy's nuclear power candidate scholarship program, and sign up right now, we'll pay your tuition and scholastic fees plus $100 a month during your junior and senior years. Upon graduation you'll get a chance to train in nuclear propulsion as an officer in the United States Navy. So, if you're interested, call now, collect:
"That will be the battleground of the year." she said.
"Certainly it will not be raised to that level" she said.
FACED WITH A LARGE budgetary deficit, Congress will scrutinize everything carefully. Keys said. She said she favored a $10 billion increase in the defense budget.

She said she also favored no further aid to Southeast Asian countries. Considering the country has $150 million in the countries in the past 15 years, she said, $350 million more wouldn't help. She said many of her constituents had told her not to be pressured into voting for him.
BE SOMEONE SPECIAL
The government's concern now should be to help the refugees, she said.
"We have to hope there will be some diplomatic settlement," she said. "I think it's the most dangerous area in the world right now."
Keys said she was dejected when Secretary of State Henry Kissinger returned without a Mideast peace agreement.
She said congressmen had a problem in

"IN THE LAST FEED DAYS we received statements from statements to the secretary of state."
To avoid a crippling oil embargo, Keys said, an oil purchase board should be established to set nationwide usage quotas and receive bids from oil exporting nations. Keys said she hoped that competition between the nations would drive prices down.
A two-tier tax plan would be her second choice to help cut oil consumption, she said. The plan would allow for a fixed amount of untaxed gasoline purchases, but gasoline purchases above that amount would be taxed.
Rationing, Keys said, would be a last resort.
"We can't have continued growth of consumption," she said, "or by 2000, at the current growth rate, we'll need three times as much energy."
