'New' Doobies uncork old energy
By RICK JONES

When the Doobie Brothers kicked into their set-ending "China Grove" 90 minutes after the lights went down inside Allen Field House Friday night, the audience was
about inflatense?
old has cop be-
But when fireworks and flash pots began exploding in four-four time to the song, nearly 13,000 people unscored a shriek that didn't lose any steam until the Doobies finished their second encore and the house lights came back on.
THE SONG, which featured some stinging lead guitar trade-offs between Simmons and new member John McPeek, brought the band to a high point. There were many times during the course of the evening.
Led by guitarist Patrick Simmons and keyboard player Michael McDonald, the band opened the show with a five-song set of "The Greatest," an indeptied version of "Long Trem Humin."
MCDONALD DISPLAYED the understated urgency of his vocals on "It Keeps You Running" and new jazz music from the band. He played the harmony with McMadeon that made the band.
KANSAN Review
The band proved early in the show that the addition of McFee, Bumpus and drummer Chet McCracken more than made up for the recent loss of guitarist Baxter and Wheeler. The newcomers added a versatility that was perfectly suited to the band's diverse style.
THE BAND established an immediate rapport with the crowd and later had no trouble getting them to sing along on "Black Magic" after they were given the roles they were filled with people dancing.
Simmons and McFee played harmonic riffs that brought back memories of Duane Allman's work with Richard Betts in the old and driving rhythms. McDrona, who writes between Bumpur tenor sax and McFee's guitar, wrote of the songs with a strong jazz foundation.
version of the song sound stale by comparison.
The song's success was heightened by McFee's stunning violin work and by the
The different musical backgrounds of McDonald and Simmons were evident in the way the music continued to change pace over the years. At most of the band's rockers, continually shook the roof with his powerful choring and driving rhythms. McDonald, who writes heavily syncopated chromatic songs, was also known for the same tensions that marked his vocal
THOUGH THE varying styles could have presented the band with a conflict of sensibilities, they instead diversified their repertoire and gave the audience a taste of everything from bluegrass to jazz to honky-tonk.
substitution of "Kansas Moon" instead of the "Mississippi Moon" mentioned in the text.
When the band began playing some of its newer material, the crowd impulsively began singing along—not just the chorus, but entire songs.
Of the three songs they played from their new album, "Minute by Minute," the biggest crowd pleaser was "What a Fool Believes." They also played the title track
The Oread Book Shop, one of the sponsors of the competition, gave $250 in prizes to the winners of the contest. First place winner gets a certificate and second place winner gets $50 certificates.
Book collections to be displayed

The competition was divided into undergraduate and graduate divisions and was held at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library.
No second place was awarded in the undergraduate division, but John H. Failen, of Boston, was awarded.
GERALD CARR, Coefyville graduate student in history, won first place in the graduate division. His winning collection was titled "Imperial Germany and the First World War." Carr said he had collected books in the subject area for seven years.

Owney Study."
"Nineteenth Century American Tunebooks and Hymnals."
Baldridge had been collecting books on the subject for eight years.
"WHEN I was in high school, my grandmother gave me a trunk full of 20th century hymnals," he said. "Then I just started picking them up in up antique stores."
Those entering the competition were asked to submit an essay detailing not more than 50 of the books in their collections. This was done by a member of the assistant special collections librarian, said.
Watson Library will display the winners' collections for two weeks.

of the album for the first time ever in concert.
THE SOUND was surprisingly good for Allen Field House, which tends to make even the most well set-up concerts sound like amplified footsteps through deep mud. The lighting also was a cut above the average.
Bracker said he thought of the idea for the show when he learned that, although there were places for artists to display miniature prints and paintings, there was no competition or exhibit provided for makers of tiny ceramic pieces.
The Orton Foundation donated $4,000 in award money for the winning pieces. Ceramic supply manufacturers pledged $2,000, which was divided into $100 purchase awards and $900 for each company. Merk awards of $50 that did not include purchase also were given.
The unusual requirement for the KU show is that the pieces be approximately 1 by 3 by 6 inches, or able to fit into a standard pyrometric cone box. That is a universal piece of equipment, and William Bracker, associate professor of design, said. Cones are clay figures that

This year's show consists of all types of pieces, from a miniature furry monster to a large robot.
"It's everything," said Bracker. "Some are more or less paintings, some are sculpture pieces and some are fundamental ceramic pieces like cups and dishes."
Jay Ferguson and his band provided a nice warm-up to the main show, playing hits like "Thunder Road" and "Got a Line of You Babe."
The conebox show will be exhibited in the gallery from 8:30 m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. Sunday until May 8.

No disciplinary action will be taken against the driver of a Lawrence Police Department squad car that struck a police officer. (AP) A police department spokesman said yesterday.
Police officer who hit walker is exonerated
The spokesman said the squad car was exceeding the speed limit when the accident occurred, but refused to say how fast the car had been moving. The police were answering a medical emergency call.
A spokesman for Richard Stanxiv, Lawrence chief of police, said "After interviewing all witnesses it was determined the accident was unavoidable."
"Speed was not a factor in the accident," the spokesman said.
Lawrence Police Department policy allows squads cars to be driven 10 mph over the posted speed limit if they are operating red lights and sirens.
The spokesman said police were allowed to exceed the 10 mph limit if circumstances warranted.
