Seals, Crofts create crisp,tangy sound
By ROBERT A. GAVIN Kansan Reviewer
Jim Seals and Dash Crofts create flawless barmonies.
Seals is a state tide champion, fine
speaker, good tenor sax player. Crofts
plays mandolin.
Together, they create playful innocuous
thoughts and Messina than to
Simon and Gartner.
The duo's first appearance in the Midwest in 2% years was marked Thursday night by
a light, happy feeling. An audience of more than 6,000 in Allen Field House stomped, harmonized and enjoyed the middle of the road gold sounds.
It was refreshing to hear clean music. But somehow, the authentic feeling I had experienced at Kansas City's Cowtown Ballroom in 1972 was gone.
Now the band has performed on TVS "In Concert" series. Warner Brothers Records has launched a massive promotional onlaught for their latest release, and they've made the Top 40 singles charts. Their nine piece backup group gave a much fuller sound than the earlier two man backup group.
HOW COULD TWO TEXAS country folk singers follow that act?
After a warm-up number by the group, which displayed a tight "Chicago" sound, the duo opened with "I'll Play for You," the title cut from their latest album.
"Hummingbird" from their "Summer Breeze" album followed. The one octave rise in the prelude was deep with the excellent vocal textures the two conceived.
"We May Never Pass This Way Again",
carried Croft's high tenor to the farthest
outpost.
Seals brought out his tenor for "Wisdom" while Dash played a solo on the drums. The four-man horn section provided excellent background for the sax work.
Trading the sax for the fiddle, Seals displayed the virtuosity that earned him state honors. He was dynamite with the sacking. When he stopped measuring his foot stomping, hog calling style.
"SUMMER BREEZE," their biggest
movie once more the vocal
music were superb.
Seals grabbed the fiddle again and put the entire audience on their feet. His bow was shredded, but he played with the flowing finesse of Vassar Clements.
The concert, although predictable,
tangy sound for the
young listener.
Rock may be drowning in its own commercialism and this band smacks of it. But if all else fails, Jimmy Seals and Dash Crofts can play in my brass band.
My how those country boys can play.
The Second and Indiana location for the proposed city garage will be a dead issue after next Tuesday's city commission Commissioner Barkley Clark said Thursday.
By SUSIE HANNA Kansan Staff Reporter
2nd, Indiana garage issue to die
Although Commissioner Fred Pence said election night that he would "fight like hell" to save the location, he appears to be losing his battle.
Pence will be the only commissioner in favor of the location when the commission meets Tuesday to vote on whether to retain Texas and Indiana state or choose another.
"We won't jump into any other location without a discussion among the commissioners, the city staff and the city manager," he said.
Marnie Argersinger, Donald Binns and Carl Mibek, commissioners elected Tuesday, said they would vote against the proposed site.
ARGERSINGER AGREED that the Second and Indiana location would be rejected and that another site wouldn't be chosen at Tuesday's meeting.
Clark said the commission probably wouldn't choose another site at Tuesday's meeting.
She said she still favored the 23rd and Learnard location, which she supported during her election campaign, but she said a few other locations also would be studied.
"I see that we won't take any action on a new location Tuesday, nor will we let this matter drag out for another six months," she said.
Mibek has said that the commission should study locations at 10th and Hiskel, he added.
ARGERSINGER SAID she was interested in the l1st and Haskell site because there hadn't been resident opposition to the Second Amendment, been to the Second and Indiana location.
Since the city recommended the Second and Indiana site almost a year ago, the commission has received statements of opposition from residents of Pinckney and Old West Lawrence neighborhood associations. In January, petitions calling for a referendum and bearing 3,600 names were presented to the commission.
The East Lawrence Improvement Association (ELIA) had supported the location at 11th and Haskell. However, Drymond Raynz, treasurer for ELIA, said that the association was presently taking no action against Haskell and because the site was part of the Far East Lawrence (FEL) neighborhood association's area.
ROWLAND SAID that he and his research assistant investigated the problem for the next two years. They decided that because Freon molecules were chemically inert, eventually drift up into the stratosphere, the layer of air higher than eight miles up.
JUDY LEMON, a member of the FEL, said that the association was opposed to the location because it would mean increased traffic near East Heights School and
He said the Freon would then break up under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, releasing chlorine atoms. The free chlorine atoms could then start a chain reaction with ozone, reducing them to simple oxygen.
"According to some crude calculations, the one-level has higher than lowered one-half to one-third."
Rowland said the destruction of ozone in this manner had already started.
"We'll be studying other sites, but not

my hope," she said. "What I hope is that we won't start, back at, sten.ouner.gov."
The danger that Freem from aerosol csloud could be breaking down the earth's protective layer of ozone is real, according to F. Sherwood Rowland, professor of chemistry at the University of California at Irvine.
He said that human skin cancer was the
The city commission then hired a private consultant for $5,500. After studying nine locations, the consultant recommended 19th and Haskell as his first choice, but the city commission rejected both the planning commission's and the consultant's choice, and the charter continue with the Second and Indiana location, the consultant's second choice.
The former University of Kansas professor said he first became interested in the problem in 1971 when he found out that an English chemist measured Freon in atmospheric samples on an ocean cruise from England to the tip of South America.
Rowland spoke to about 250 persons
thursday night as part of his campaign to
reform the South Carolina education law.
"The question that occurred to me was
going to happen to it?" said Rowland.

"IF YOU REMOVE five per cent of the ozone," Rowland said, "you get a 10 per cent increase in ultraviolet radiation. And you get a 10 per cent increase in human skin cancer."
"I'm going to suggest that a city-county complex be put in at 3rd and Learned," he said. "The county complex is already there might might save the taxpayers some money."
TWO STUDIES OF 13 locations have already been made. Almost a year ago, the city studied four locations and recommended the Second and Indiana site. The planning commission, after reviewing the sites, told the city commission that the Second and Indiana site didn't comply with the city's comprehensive plan. The plan-
He said it would be surprising if human skin cancer were the only effect on the earth's biological processes. Ozone depletion will change the thermal content of the stratosphere, which can change the earth's weather systems. Rowland said
Binns, who has signed a petition against the 19th and Haskell site, said he was still strongly opposed to the site because it was in a residential area.
because the garage wouldn't be centrally located nor easily accessible.
only consequence of ozone depletion that could be calculated at this time.
Rowland said that meteorologists could not even guess yet whether the troposphere, the atmospheric layer that contains the weather systems, would heat up or cool down.
HE EXPLAINED THAT Fron released in 1974 wouldn't have its maximum effect until sometime in the 1980's because of the delay in drifting into the stratosphere. Fron has a natural lifetime of between 20 and 100 years, meaning that Fron released now will be around well into the 21st century, Rowland said.
There are two factors in relation to timing that give a volatile diabetic air to this patient.
District Court Judge James Paddock's ruling on the garage location March 26 doesn't prevent the commission's selection of a new location for the city garage.
"My own recommendation, if only for the skin cancer reason alone, is that we ought to wear protective clothing.
He said that there were no easy substitutes for the Freed use in aerosol cans and that other delivery systems would have to be devised. But there are different materials available, and can be used in refrigeration systems without damage to the atmosphere, he said.
The case before Paddock concerned whether the proposed location was subject to a referendum. Paddock ruled that the city's selection of the Second and Indiana counties is an administrative, not a legislative, action and therefore not subject to referendum.
