Buffy Sainte-Marie to perform here
Festival of the Arts attracts top talent
Award winning choreographer, Lucas Hoving and his company of dancers will appear on April 3, and Buffy Sainte-Marie on April 4, at the 1970 Festival of the Arts. The concerts will be held in Hoch Auidtorium and are sponsored by Student Union Activities (SUA) at the University of Kansas.
Hoving came to the United States from Holland and was associated for many years with the Jose Limon Company. He became known for his interpretation of roles such as Iago in "Moor's Pavane," the white man in "Emperor Jones," and the leader in "The Traitor." With his company he made several tours to the Far East, Australia, Europe
and South America under the auspices of the U.S. State Department.
He now performs exclusively with his own company, with which he has toured in Europe, Canada and the United States. His ballets have been choreographed and staged for the Kurt Jooss Folkwang Ballet in Germany, the Scapino Company of Amsterdam, the Ballet Nacional of Mexico, Birgit Culberg Balletten of Stockholm and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre.
Hoving has taught and lectured in most of the major dance centers of the world including the Universities of California, Utah and Wisconsin, Belles Artes Academia of Mexico, the Choreo-
graphic Institute of Stockholm as well as centers in the Far East.
Sponsors for Hoving and his Company have included the U.S. Information Service, the British Ministry of Education and the Association of American Colleges. For the Peabody Institute of Baltimore he has directed two operas, "The Magic Flute" and "The Fall of the City."
Lucas Hoving is presently on the faculty of the Juilliard School and Columbia University Teachers College, both in New York.
His choreography has earned him grants by the Dutch Government and the U.S. National Endowment for the Arts.
Committee reviews housing data service
Halina Pawl, committee chairman, said they should continue giving out information to students about housing codes, complaint forms and setting up various means to get the information to students.
The Student Senate Off-Campus Housing Committee met Wednesday to discuss suggestions to give newly-elected committee members when they take office.
The housing committee presently disseminates information through the Student Senate office and the Off-Campus Housing office. Miss Pawl suggested that new members of the committee have the information and speak before foreign students and out-of-state students during orientation week. She also suggested sending letters to new students before they come to Lawrence containing the state housing code.
William M. Balfour, dean of students, suggested updating of the housing lists. He said complaints received in the housing office should cause a landlord's name and properties to be taken off the approved housing list. If the landlord remedied the problem or a new landlord took over the property, he said that the facility should be put back on the list.
Miss Pawl said that problems would arise because of an inadequate inspection system. An inspector cannot enter the private rooms of a complex unless the occupant enters a written complaint. One of the committee members said that the committee should look into things that the student could not know about before renting as well as providing students with information about off-campus housing.
Balfour suggested setting up a liaison between the committee and the Human Relations Committee of the University Senate. That way, he said, the two groups could work together on complaints involving discrimination.
Another suggestion was to set up a booth or table in the Kansas Union to give out legal information and names of people who need roommates. The committee is also working on a model lease form to set up specific duties of landlord and occupant to present to the Landlord's Association.
KU-Y to sponsor meetings promoting student relations
herst colleges through a special exchange program. She acted the leads in several college plays and was voted one of the ten most outstanding seniors in her graduating class.
In addition to the discussions, participants will begin formulating plans for the International Gift Fair next fall.
After graduation, Miss Sainte-Marie came to New York and began performing at guest nights in Greenwich Village. When deciding what she wanted to do with her prospective career, she rewrote a few of the contracts that interested her and began independently accepting television and performance offers.
KU-Y is sponsoring five meetings scheduled every Tuesday evening beginning March 31 which will enable foreign and American students to meet in a series of informal discussions, said Tom Moore, director of KU-Y.

"The purpose of the meetings is to work in a project together to gain a better knowledge of the values and differences foreign students bring to this country," Moore said.
At the University of Massachusetts, where she graduated with a degree in Oriental philosophy, she began to perform for an occasional friend and agreed to play at several coffee houses near the campus. She still concentrated in education and practice-taught first grade.

In the case of SenEx removing the referendums from the student election ballots, it was felt by SenEx members that students lacked sufficient knowledge of the referendums to cast informed votes.
Although the Student Senate and the Executive Committee in certain situations can change the decisions of standing committees, the Student Court ruled that these changes can be upheld only if it is shown that irrepairable harm would result if changes were not implemented.
The Student Court, however, ruled that sufficient data had been diseliminated and that a postponement would not affect the issues and questions in the referendums.
All of the material that Buffy performs on stage is original, even traditional folk songs that she has found take on a new flavor through her interpretation. She has recorded six albums.
Miss Sainte-Marie found music at an early age. Orphaned as a baby, her foster parents bought an old piano and she became fascinated with it. She taught herself to play and began to make up her own tunes. At sev-
The Student Court also ruled that the Student Senate as a body may change the decision of a standing committee, such as the elections committee, in certain situations. The exception to this ruling occurs in cases where the Student Senate Executive Committee acts in behalf of the Student Senate in matters requiring expeditious action.
Referendum abused Student Court rules
Miss Sainte-Marie is not just a protester. Her repertoire ranges in source from traditional folk and blues, to country and western and just plain commentary.
In the recent case of Beck versus Student Senate Elections Committee the Student Court has ruled that the Student Senate Executive Committee abused its discretion in postponing the referendum questions until April 7.
As a performer and composer, Buffy Sainte-Marie, a Cree Indian, carries her heritage with pride and sadness. Those of her songs, which may be classified as protest songs, have mainly sprung from her feelings of injustice towards her people. "Now that the Buffalo's Gone" and "My Country 'Tis of The People are Dying" show deep felt protest, anger and hurt bewilderment.

Max Bickford, chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents, replied Wednesday to a charge made in an Alliance position paper dated March 16 claiming garduate teaching assistants have not received salary increases appropriated by the state legislature.
"A six per cent salary increase does not mean an across the board salary increase for everyone," Bickford said. "A salary increase means that money is allocated on the basis of the total salary budget," he explained.
