Three Dog Night cancels KU concert to cut album
Efforts by the Board of Class Officers for a concert by the Three Dog Night, a West Coast rock group, have failed, said Steve Emerson, Topeka sophomore and publicity chairman.
The concert would have been one of several in a tour of Midwest colleges this spring. The KU concert scheduled for March 1 was cancelled so that the group could meet a deadline for a future album.
The concert committee, headed by Vince Frye, Shawnee Mission junior, was informed Jan. 2 by the William Morris Agency in Chicago that the agreement was broken. Prior to this date, plans had been confirmed both verbally and by telegram. A reserve fee of $5,000 had already been accepted by the agency. This money and a $500 claim for publicity expenses are expected to be refunded, according to Emerson.
Union heads recommend GE contract
NEW YORK (UPI)—The leadership bodies of the ten major unions on strike at General Electric voted Monday to approve a tentative contract agreement and submit it to their membership for a vote. Some rank and file members have already indicated they favor the pact.
The conference board of the United Electrical Workers (UE) and the International Union of Electrical Workers (IUE) approved the contract, estimated by GE at a cost of about $1 billion during meetings that lasted for several hours.
The agreement was reached Thursday in the 96th day of the longest strike in GE history. $\varLambda$ spokesman for the IUE said the vote of its 158-member conference board "was close." A UE spokesman said its conference board members were substantially in favor of the pact, which already had the approval of both bargaining committees.
Although the IUE action was binding on the 90,000 members of that union, the leadership has decided to submit it to a vote of the rank and file because of the length of the strike.
Under UE bylaws, the 20.000-man membership must ratify it. Both votes will be completed by Tuesday night.
So far, only one local-320 in Syracuse, N.Y.-voted to reject the proposal. About half the 5,000 eligible members voted against the tentative settlement by a three to four margin.

Emerson explained that the basketball schedule in Allen Field House and the late date prevented contacting another group this semester.
The board, composed of class officers and past class presidents, had hoped for a non-profit concert as a service to the students at KU. Any possible profits were to be donated to Watkins Hospital.
In a meeting Monday afternoon, the committee considered alternatives to a concert.
One is the organizing of class parties sometime this spring, free to all students who have paid class dues. Also suggested is a plan to schedule a concert early next school year.

Our Far East policy brings people together.
The Jade East manifesto. Its aim: to bring men and women all over the world closer together.
Our policy would allow for all sorts
of skirmishes, territorial gains and conquests. And still keep the peace.
Just put some Jade East on your face and neck. And anywhere else. If you've got a girlfriend, take her out as planned. If you're seeing a few girls, do whatever it is you're doing.
Now comes the best part. Since all girls are different, all reactions will be different. Some will be aggressive. Others, submissive. But whether our policy leads to final agreement or not, one thing's for sure.
The negotiations alone will be worth the price.
Jade East Make love, not war.
