London critics praise piano prof
A KU professor of piano has received plaudits from leading London critics after a recent European recital, said Thomas Gorton, dean of the School of Fine Arts, today.
Angelica Morales von Sauer, widow of famed Austrian pianist Emil von Sauer, is on a year's sabbatical leave from KU for a concert tour.
The London Times wrote, "She took her cue from her late husband's technique—using relaxed tempos and exactitude of detail rather than explosive bursts of temperament."
The London Daily Telegraph praised her stamina and
mellowness of interpretation in the long solo recital.
"Although her playing was not inflammatory, it was disciplined and showed clarity as

WASHINGTON (UPI) Sixty-four Congressmen from both parties Thursday sponsored a bill to set up education programs to warn of the dangers of drug abuse.
Rep. Lloyd Meeds, D-Wash., chief author of the measure, said $44 million would be authorized over five fiscal years to organize seminars for parents and community leaders on drug abuse education and to help schools set up programs for students.
well as a firm sense of musical architecture," the paper said.
The executive director of a coalition within the Democratic party dedicated to grass roots social change and political action will speak at 8 p.m. Monday at Wesley Foundation.
Party rebel to talk here
"In Missouri," Craig said, "the Democratic party manipulates and exploits people, engages in an unbelievable brand of cronyism and has consistently shown an unwillingness to respond to a wide variety of expressed desires and legitimate needs of the people."
Earl Craig, executive director of the New Democratic Coalition (NDC), was highly critical of the Democratic party, and Missouri in particular when he appeared in Kansas City, Mo. recently.
Craig, a native of St. Louis, now lives in Minneapolis, Minn. which is the NDC national headquarters.
With Craig in Kansas City, was another Democratic rebel, Don Peterson, who led the Wisconsin delegation at the National
He said the Democratic party in Missouri provided a perfect example on a statewide basis of the problems of the Democratic party nationally.
Democratic Convention in Chicago.
Peterson said that the old coalition of labor and big city bosses that controlled the Democrite party and elected Presidents from the time of Franklin D. Roosevelt is clearly no longer effective or appealing to the people.
John Wright, temporary steering committee chairman of the Douglas County NDC, said. "The NDC is an issue-oriented organization. We work on local issues mainly, but also support national issues.
"Most NDC groups support the Grape Boycott movement and oppose the Safeguard Antiballistic Missile System." Wright said.
"There have been too many social and geographic changes, Peterson said. "We need a new coalition that will include groups that have always been excluded: youth, blacks, Mexican Americans and poor whites."

Ace Johnson, man in the know at the Stables, continues to give it the old college try (with limited success—very limited) in preparation for his anxiously awaited debut at the 3rd Annual KU Rodeo, this weekend. Ace, to whom this sports spectacular is dedicated, will demonstrate (we're not putt'n ya on) to fans the delicate and deliberate art of being bucked, tossed, catapulted, launched, rejected and otherwise hustled off the back of an uncooperative piece of horse flesh or dangerous brahma bull. This death defying (better entitled, "Death In The Making") event is rated "X" by rodeo officials—no one under 16 (or with a weak stomach) will be allowed to watch. (Bidding on The Stables, its property and merchandise will start promptly at 9:00 a.m., Monday, April 14th, if Ace doesn't survive.)

If you get your kicks from the misery of others, then don't miss the actionpacked, 3rd Annual KU Rodeo this weekend at the Douglas County Fairgrounds, 20th and Harper Road.
