Bicycle riders join nuclear protest rally
About 15 bicycle riders from Lawrence will ride south to Burlington tomorrow where they will join a group of nuclear scientists and a nuclear generator site Saturday afternoon.
"The ride will be a good demonstration of an efficient low energy alternative," said Mike Almon, who will participate in the bike trip.
Radioactive-free Kansas, a local group opposed to the plant at Wolf Creek, will sponsor the riders, who will join the 3,000 people expected at a rally near the plant.
At least 50 Lawrence residents will share car ride to Burlington Saturday morning, Dee Tolar, a representative of the group, said.
THE RALLY IS sponsored from room to 4 p.m. by the Sunflower Alliance two miles north of Burlington at John Redmond Reservoir on the west side of U.S. Highway 105 to provide as well as boost selling anti-nuclear paraphernalia, such as T-shirts and buttons.
The rally will begin with Lawrence
resident Peggy Hilpin singing her own compositions, followed by singer Danny Gox
Jeanne Green, a Salina resident formerly of Lawrence, and Patt Sick, a KU graduate student, will speak at the rally, as well as the American Association for Women and the Mid-America Coalition of Energy Alternatives. Tolar said the rally would discuss issues such as climate change.
"The power plant's argument right now is that they've spent so much money on the project they can't stop." Al Nelson, another member of Radioactive-free Kansas, said.
Tolar said the rally would discuss alternate energy sources as well as nuclear power.
The price of uranium fuel had gone up tenfold since the plant was hewn, he said.
"THIS ISN'T GOING to be an ant-type event," she said. "We want to discuss feasible solutions to the energy problem. Of course, we'll talk about Wolf Creek, too."
Tolar said no civil disobedience was planned for the rally, unlike the demonstration in Burlington last January, which included a group of generators's arrival at the Wolf Creek plant.

Furniture, dirt disputes at Jayhawker Towers go on
By MARY JO HOWARD
Staff Reporter
Differing interpretations of a designation on the Jayhawker Towers' rental agreement and unclean apartments continue to bring complaints from KU students.
When tenants signed their leases, they were told they would have to take the lease with them.
Barbara Fendley, Towers manager, said this week that the 'F2' and 'F4' are preferences indicating that the tenants want these apartments for persons. This helps her assign apartments.
The ambiguity in the agreement concerns the presence of an 'F"2' or 'F"4' written in a blank on the document after 'furniture.' Tenants say they expected to receive furniture, but did not lease and thought the designations legally bound the Towers in providing furniture for two or four persons. But the Towers management said the designations were only reference aids for the apartment manager and are not legally binding.
HOWEVER, CONNIE Hale, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, said yesterday that she was not told about the possibilities of not receiving a furnished apartment when she signed her letter. Ann Covall, Russell junior, said she experienced a similar problem
Fendley said she did not specifically remember Covalt signaling a lease, but said she gave each prospective tenant the same information about the apartments. Another spokesman for the Towers also said that the desinagents were legally meanless.
According to a legal representative for the Towers, John Brand, the designations are only references. The students should have been admitted if they did not understand it, he said.
HOWEVER, DARYL. Stone, public relations director for the Consumer Affairs Association, does not agree that the designation is merely a reference.
"Obviously when you write a letter and a number, it just a reference." Read again.
"I think it's reasonable to conclude that it means they were going to get furniture."
on the lease, most people would conclude that they're going to get furniture."
The Consumer Affairs Association has had several complaints about the Towers, Stone said, but he did not think it was the Towers' intention to defraud.
"Somehow, somewhere, people got the impression that they get furniture," he said. "It's not really a big thing but it's a real deal." He explained that his fair to say the people have been misled.
“If there’s some kind of pressure applied, or if someone has never rented an apartment before and they’re given any misrepresentation, it’s possible that they could break their agreement under the Kansas Landlord-Tenant Act.” he said.
A LEGAL representative at the Consumer Affairs Association said that the tenants involved could possibly get out of their contracts by citing unconscionability.
But Brand said that the unconsciousness clause could not be applied to these cases because unconsciousness means that the court cannot determine the nature of the murders that a court would judge.
Fendley said that each apartment was cleaned.
IN ADDITION to the F-2 and F-4 devices, two other problems, Hale said her apartment was filthy when she moved in. Other tenant reported similar problems to Consumer Reports.
"Each apartment is gone through by myself or an assistant," she said. "We don't need it."
them.
Hale said her apartment hadn't been occupied and that food was caked on the stairs.
Although Kansas law requires that the tenant and landlord jointly inspect an apartment, take inventory and make repairs, the report, Hale said that this was not done.
"This wasn't the kind of dirt that you come in and dump. It was 'use dirt,' that."
"They wouldn't even give us a copy of the inventory sheet," Hale said.
Karen McKinney, agent for Lawrence Property Management, which manages the Towers, said that Hale had been given an inventory sheet, but had not turned it in.
June, 1979
Ampersand
reserved air, a sense of carefully words, contributes to the aura of complete self-posesession surrounding her. Somewhere in the city of New York, Linda relates an enchanting moment.
"It was on a plane, coming back from Minnesota after visiting my family," she recalls. "I was sleeping when I heard some voices whispering. They were saying some things, and they were speaking." And she "looks like just on TV." I realized then that I was lying there with my mouth wide open, snoring probably, and when I opened my eyes, two men were standing over me smiling. You't be that reporter, aren't you? They said. In them I call Billie New man."
It's a problem, she knows, everyone in the public eye must deal with. "I initially, I did have a fear of play a series," she admits with some recognition, recognized as an actress with some range."
Engaged to marry Glenn Strand, a carpenter, Kelsey lives a well-ordered existence in an urban area. Her leisure hours tending a flourishing backyard garden. While her primary acting experience has been as a guest star in the musical series, she has also appeared on stage.
"TV dangle opportunities in front of actresses that they couldn't get any other way. In legible theater most of the time you can't afford the fare back to New York or a show, but if you're willing to add, "don't misunderstand. I get up every day and say thanks ... the people I work with care very much about what they're doing and that's important. My agent spoke to me a few years ago about the possibility of running a show at the part, I like to think I would have turned it down anyway, not because I don't think it's a wonderful show or whatever, but because I would have to go out there every day and act and do my best in front of the audience. But I'm doing what I'm doing, then I'm giving this industry a chance to really take advantage of me. Even though television is an extremely fragmented form of communication," she concludes rather wistfully. "I've always tried to imagine a scene beyond the camera. Sometimes it helps."
"To a great extent Billie's feeling about her job and the people she meets are the same as minnie might be if I were in that situation," she observes. The qualifier seems a critical one. "Billie doesn't really represent the working woman, I think, as much as she stands for any young woman in the culture. So far it's not her doing it, but playing Billie for some time to come, if only to see how the character changes and grows. It's a continuing acting experience. I've seen her develop already, in these first two seasons. In the beginning, she really didn't know that much about reporting. . . city-side reporting. There is one episode when she asks Lou to plea stop telling her how to do her job and then, five minutes later, she has to go to the mall. It was fun, but was a really true sense of the character and for independence."
Discussing the lack of good women's roles, Kelkey said, "Audiences want to see a woman who is a real person. Jane Fonda is a woman who has been anybody's next door neighbor. It's very much an anti-glamour era coming in I think, and Billie's right there. Even though we see her in her professional setting, the audience sees her as someone personal side of her life. I think that's good."
As for *Law Grant*'s impact on the quality of television, "The show isn't really about the content," he says.
people in a job situation. The story is told through the involvement of the characters. We all know people like Billie Rossi, they have real life problems, and that it's vitally important. They grow and change. It isn't a static, set role. Billie is becoming a better journalist. . . she's tempering her concern for individuals, her feelings about social causes with some good, hard, common sense. We know how to do that. Everyone involved is very serious-minded about what they're doing, even though we strive to keep a light touch."
"I'm learning a lot about acting on *Lou Grand*, a lot about standards. For instance, we read scripts together beforehand. You'd think that's something everyone would do. But when you're in a theater, we're really the only ones. It makes a real difference to the quality, and that's what should be important to any actor. When I return to the theater, there are lessons I'm learning now, even though the mediums are different. We can apply directly — caring and craftsmanship.
Return to the theater? Well, I won't be playing inguenite roles, she says and a man will be leading the show. I will be going back, there is no doubt about that. In the meantime, I think Low Grant is offering me the best possible career opportunity, but really, an Billie is a remarkable role."

MANHATTAN, starting Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Michael Murphy, Marley Hemingway; written by Allen @ Marshall Brickman; directed by Allen
If Woody Allen deliberately set out to court and win the American film-goving public, he has perhaps succeeded beyond his own wildest fantasies. He's surely America's sweetheart, the most admired, endearing lovable neurotic on our screens, and with *Manhattan*, where growth ever more impressive without sacrificing one deliciterate of personal laudability—ness.
Allen's voice opens this film as his character tries to begin his first novel using New York as a metaphor for his novel's hero, we see him struggling to find love in his city, his characters are striking, accomplished, brilliant, dazzling . . . and messed up. Allen makes us laugh and then cry, gently produs us into seeing the Fulility of It All, but also creatively cockrabbits with a devastating romantic score.
If Allen is ever hard up for feminine companions, which seems unlikely, he should just stand outside a theatre playing *Manhattan*. Almost every woman emerging would follow him anywhere. Or at least around the block a few times.
Judith Sina
*Manhattan* is photographed by cinematographer Gordon Willett (often dubbed the *Moonchild*) and director Jeffrey White; the city doesn't look this good in living color. The music is lushly orchestrated Gershwin, combined with the stark bridges and skyscrapers, it made me yearn for a stroll down the street.
Allen's character is again the neurotic intellectual who masks his insecurities with jokes, but this is not a comedy, even though there are hilarious moments. Allen is dealing with love, and how people find it, lose it, use it and screw it up through their confused thinking. They don't confuse fused sense of what's right and honest. In the beginning Allen loves 17-year-old Hening way and she loves him; his best friend, Murphy, loves Kesan, though he's happily married to Anne Byrne. Allen rejects Hening way—she's too young; Murphy rejects Keaton—he's too married; Allen then loves Murphy. Allen doesn't love Murphy. The general theme, explored briefly in Interactive, is that people run anok when they listen to their minds and not their bodies.

DREAMER starting Tim Matherson, Susan Blakely & Jack Warden, written by James Procter & Larry Schirndt, directed by Nialse Nosek.
Take Rocky, change the locale to Alton, Ill, and the sport to bowling, write dialogue Ronald Reagan would have refused to speak in Knute Rocke, All-American, and pretzel* he has dreamer, a film best described as a major league waste of time.
Tim Matheson, as Dreamer, a young bowler whose heart is set on making it to the top, seems so uncomfortable in his role that one can only conceive that he made the mistake of reading the script all the way through and is looking for a place to hide.
And, how boy, what a script. With lines like "I'll never understand women" as a high point, (it must be a high point, it appears in the book) or "The girl on the boat, the cast isn't given much to work with." The comedy relief is provided by Dreamer's two Mexican co-workers down at the bowling alley. One yells in the other in Spanish, and the answer answers in English. Bolto yorks, right?
The movie has its moments. "Spider," a local pool hustler played by Matt Clark, is a thoroughly likeable guy who thinks that he can cover himself in glamour by self-publicizing his skills in the trayness of the local bowling pro who pushes Dreamer on so he can bask in the reflected glory shows the competence one would expect of Warden, but not much more. And Susan Blackley, as Dreamer's bitchy, jealous girlfriend, plays the character of the "small town girl." Almost
But with the deadly slow pace, the booking shots taken from every conceivable angle, the unalteringly hilarious ending of *Climb Every Mountain*'s allegedly inspiring theme song (sort of rock's answer to "Climb Every Mountain") every time Dream returns around, we are talking about

But Student Senator Ed Bigus disagrees.
Bigus, also a member of the pre-enrolment committee, said pre-enrolment might be an incentive for students to choose KU.
"Or there could be a loss if we keep this same antique way of doing things. I think the administration needs to take this seriously."
AS FOR student support, Bigus said that in a petition he presented to students in Allen Field House last fall during enrollment, he received signatures from every student that passed him-1,000 to 1,500 of them.
Also, he said, it was evident that there was faculty support because the assembly that recommended the proposal was made up primarily of faculty members.
Margaret Berlin, body president gave a contrasting student view. She said that most students do not realize what preenrolment would mean to them financially.
