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 engineers to conduct a nuclear generator site Saturday afternoon.
The bikers, among them City Commissioner Marci Francisco, will leave Lawrence in two groups at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. Friday and will camp overnight at Pumaola Lake. A van will follow them on the ground while a police car provides resting space for wary cyclists.
"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 75. Concession stands will be set up, as well as tables and food for the paraphernalia, such as T-shirts and buttons.
The rally will begin with Lawrence

Jeanne Green, a Salina resident formerly of Lawrence, and Pit Slick, a KU graduate, are the representatives from the National Organization for Women and the Mid-Western University.
"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.
"THIS NET'S 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 the rally would discuss alternate energy sources as well as nuclear
Saturday's rally will be held in cooperation with law enforcement officials around Burlington. The Sunflower Alliance reported about 70 "peacekeepers" for the rally.
Tolar said no civil disobedience was planned for the rally, unlike the demonstration in Burlington last January, which led to a boycott by the generator's arrival at the Wolf Creek plant.

THE SUMMER SESSION
Furniture, dirt disputes at Jayhawker Towers go on
By MARY JO HOWARD Staff Reporter
When tenants signed their leases, they were told they would have to take the apartments as they were, she said. All
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 from the designations legally 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 reference adds for the apartment complex's managers and are not legally binding.
Barbara Fendley. Towers manager, said this week that the 'F2' and 'F4' are preferences indicating that the tenants want to stay in their apartment for persons. This helps her assign apartments.
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 lease. Ann Covalt, Russell junior, said she experienced a similar problem.

Fendley said she did not specifically remember Covalt signalling a lease, but said she gave each prospective tenant the same information about the apartments. Another spokesman for the Towers also said that the designations were legally meanless.
According to a legal representative for the Towers, John Brand, the designations are only references. The students should have knowledge of the explanation if they did not understand it, he said.
"Obviously when you write a letter and a number, it's just a reference." Brandon said.
HOWEVER, DARYL. Stone, public relations director for the Consumer Affairs Association, does not agree that the designation is merely a reference.
"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 come 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 added that his fair to save 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 uncompromiseability.
But Brut said that the unconsciency clause could not be applied to these cases because unconsciency means that the court would refuse to enforce the parties that a court would refuse to
Hale said her apartment hadn't been vacuumed and that food was caked on the floor.
IN ADDITION to the F-2 and F-4 designations resulting in furniture problems, Hale said her apartment was filthy when she moved in. Other tenants reported similar problems to Consumer Affairs.
"This wasn't the kind of dirt that you come in and dump. It was 'use dure', Hale
Fendley said that each apartment was cleaned.
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.
"Each apartment is gone through by myself or an assistant," she said. "We work together."
"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.

work But Rickie Lee Jones rarely strikes an imitative pose—she's listened to other people's records, but her best songs slither out with a natural, jazzy ease all her own. From the warmhearted "Chuck E.'s in Love" to the streetwise "Would Blood" to the garage mechanic metaphors for love of women who don't sound forced or affected—the her singing is tough yet tender, variably erotic, womanly, childlike and demure.
The problem with the 24-year-old Jones' first album lies in its production. Jones' barroom blues and cruising Chevrolet choruses are a delight, but the combo assemblage — perhaps a sloppy stand-up gripe, though, because the musician ship—while this antiseptic never in this. This is, as they say, an impressive debut.

PATTI SMITH GROUP
Wave (Arista)
Until last year when he scored his funky R&B hit "Reach for I.T." George Duke was something of an enigma. After years of touring, he had acquired qualifications in both the jazz and rock world, but his music was too funny to be called jazz-fusion. Thus Duke became a musical stylist in search of an audience — and eventually found one into the fold. His subsequent album, *Don't Let Go*, tried to follow the successful format he had finally established, but wasn't so strong and diverse as his previous effort. As a result, he was quickly recognized, but his music still seemed erratic.
The material is uninspired, surprisingly lethargic and closer to pomp rock than classic rock® or roll—"Citizen Ship" is built around a sound that sounds like an outtake from the ELP album, "So You Wanna Be a Rock® or Roll Star" may be a positively inspired sound. But the track lived that song—but it never really develops into the tour-for-due it ought to be.
Dionysian celebration has always been Patti Smith's forthe—the ectastic, overwhelming feeling of dynamic rock & roll that she brings to life. She's still as much a fan as performer.
Much of the blame goes to producer Todd Rundgeh. *Wave*'s sound is completely dominated by Richard Sohl's keyboards and the rhythm section, all but hurting S吼's vocals and certainly making any flashes of lyrical brilliance impossible to discern.
Don Snowden
What emerges is a more innocent and vulnerable Patti Smith, not the rock @ roll general marshaling her forces to march on to final victory.
But Hure, the follow-up to last year's breakthrough *Easter* LP, fails precisely because that sense of abandon is totally absent. For a band that opens admits to worship the Stones, the lack of those slashing rhythm guitar clouds here is truly mystifying.

middle road between jazz and funk, and this time he comes closest to pulling it off. The opening track, "Party Down," is more complex than most of the jazz rhythm band. The rest of the album strives from hot funk romantic ballads and keyboard-dominated jazzy instruments.
"I Am for Real" is another straighthead funker that succeeds in a "Reach for It" chant vein, while "Funkin' for the Thrill" is underdeveloped rhythmically and clipped up with intricate flow. There are four ballads that flow nicely but suffer from weak lyrics. Another ballad, "Straight from the Heart," has a sweet summer feel; and while the lyrics are then fit the mood Duke is struggling for. Of the three instruments, only "Festival," a light, Latin-flavored tune, takes off behind guitarist Charles Dalio and thenumps into a hot Duke solo.
While Fallace the Rainbow finds Duke moving in a more compatible direction, his weakness as a lyricist is sorely evident. Though he's one of fusion's most exciting keyboard wizards, Duke's lyrics are half-baked wordplays to accompany the riffs.

trilogy with this release, featuring the fullness of support that made Hard Again and I'm Ready so complete—Winters on guitar, Pinetop Perk on piano and James Cotton on harp among the contributors. The live format finds Waters and his players busting out their own songs and nature behind Waters' art. Newcomers to the blues, both fans and musicians, sometimes believe self-pity and macho pride are the whole story. Waters, in his mesmerizing strong-heartedness, projects humanity more than vanity, however, lacking each phrase with its own emotion and endurance-tested self-affirmation, the attitudes of an unsplootly vital person.
SUN RA
Byron Laursen
Languidity (Philly Jazz)
Sun Ra's place in jazz history has been secure for quite some time now. He pioneered space music, unorthodox instrumentation and exquisite vocal technique, successfully applying free music to a big band
context. Perhap his biggest achievement has been to retain three major horn players for more than twenty years of lean tenure (tenor), as well as Marshall Allen and bantomin Pat Patrick.
Of late, Sun Ra's recorded work has caused his stock in the jazz community to take a tumble. With *Languidity*, the Sun King (1952) became the most famous years as jazz's prominent iconic Sun Ra should bow to fashion. Ralph Gleason, the late founder of Rolling Stone, said that Sun Ra deserved popularity, but Gleason hoped the band's music artist, not that he would bump his standards.
*lms LP* has none of the qualities of the great Sun Ra recordings; stirring arrangements, exotic instrumental voices, inspired solos and riotous collective expressions. End of the World or The Solar-Myth Approach. Vol. I and II for those attributes.
Languidity features a plodding beat with Marshall Allen's oboe over colorful broms. "There Are Other Worlds," this album's concession to Sun Raa's pamphlet poetry, comes from Stéphane. Some acoustic palms passages begin to provoke interest, but it's too little and too late.
John Gilmore is a vital tenor sax voice, an inspiration for John Coltrane's later work. Historically, Gilmore's role has been that of a free jazz Bent Webster to Ruka's Duke Ellington. Unfortunately, even Gilmore can't undo *Languidity*'s basic torpor.

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.
