SUA charges promoters $2,000 for the services it provides, which include ushers, ticket sales and distribution, promotion and a stage crew.
He said he thought KU had been chosen for the concert because the field house was large and the fee charged to the promoters was comparatively low.
Ticket sales for Doobies break record
Shaw said a sellout crowd at the concert would make Lawrence, a recruiting director for promoters. Promoters look for college campuses with large populations and large numbers of students.
"Some promoters look at Lawrence as being a secondary or tertiary market. We don't want it to be enough to a primary market like Kansas City to draw people from there." Shaw

Student Union Activities has sold 5,000 tickets for the April 27 Doebert Brothers show at the University of Kansas. Students can day ticket sales for a concert at the university of Kansas, according to Alan Shankar.
"We've never had any sell show in Allen Field House, but if any one would, I'd give this one the best chance," he said. "The nature can only lead to good things."
A sellout crowd of 15,999 in Allen Field House could bring better concert to KU and provide funds for a free outdoor concert this spring. Shaw said Friday.
About 20 persons camped outside of the Kansas Union Thursday night to be first in line at the SUA office to buy the tickets, which sell for $7 and $8. By 4 Friday morning more than 200 people walked to Tickets went on sale at 10 a.m. morning.
About 750 people bought $24,000 worth of tickets Friday at the SUA office, according to Shaw. Ticket sales at Kansas City outlets opened Saturday.
Shaw said, "On this show we discovered our fee was really low and that we could make more money for the students by charging the promoters more. For this show, we are charging a rate of $5,000 for receipts after $55,000, which are their estimated expenses if we sell out, we could make $8,400."

If KU's strength and conditioning coach is as successful with the football team as he has been with himself, the players should be ready to win the Orange Ball next year.
The coach, Keith Kephart, has won Mid-West Regional, Central States and Central USA body-building contests and was Mr. Carroll after he began training for the competition.
"The only content I entered and didn't win the Mr. America in Cincinnati last year. Kepler said Saturday. "But that we have done is to quill four contests in two years is quite a few."
Kephart, 34, was hired Feb. 1 to replace Ron Hubbard, who resigned to be an assistant football coach at the University of Colorado. Kephart will put KU's football players on a twice-weekly weight lifting program next week.
He said he had been competitive bodybuilding in 1975 when Manuel Perry, who does stunts for "The Incredible Hulk," suggested they train together. Perry was living in Ames and Kephart was there as the athletic conditioning coach at Iowa State University.
always hungry and started getting a little irritable."
He said the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet allowed him to eat only meat, eggs, a few vegetables and some fresh fruit.
"I was eating about 100 pieces of chicken a day and the said, 'And we call all the al'-couleeners were. We've Chicken Delight for lunch and eat about 14 pieces of chicken, leaving a big plate
"THEN WE'D GO to another place for supper and do the same thing. Sometimes I'd eat chicken three times a day, but I never got tired of it."
Kephart said he took vitamins and minerals to supplement his diet.
Kephart said he might enter more contexts and that he still trainee six days a week.
"I was taking 80 alfafla pills a day, plus all the other vitamins and minerals because there were so many foods I couldn't eat," he said.

THE CONDITIONING programs for KU athletes are similar to the one Kephart used, but the athletes do not train to such an extent, he said.
"Here, you're training for a particular sport, not just body-building. You have to be as fit as possible."
He said he had been working mainly with the football team because the sport embodyed his passion.
Most of the football players are enrolled in a conditioning class and will continue conditioning during the summer. Kephart will begin a maintenance program in the fall.
The conditioning class emphasizes cardiovascular conditioning, quickness and agility, he said. The program involves an exercise run, rope-umping and exercises.
"Conditioning involves getting the heart rate up to at least 180 beats per minute." Kephart said. "As the heart conditions, you can lower your heart rate, some amount of stress at a low heart rate."
with Koohart, KU1's crouch and conditioning coach manages to find time to maintain his own weight training program while helping athletes with their stamina.
He said that in a good conditioning program, new muscle fibers replaced old ones.
"If a guy weighs 255, but a lot of that weight is fat, he can't handle his own weight, much less someone else's," he said. "You can tell by his weight, but convert it to lean body weight."
HE SAID the percent of body fat a person had was also important in conditioning.
rie said he was not worried about KU athletes not maintaining a good program.
"The attitude here is so positive that I'm not even concerned about the 2 percent or who aren't working," he said. "I refuse to tell them why we are working, helping those who are really working hard."
KEPHART SAID he had not worked with any of KU's women athletes yet, but that he expected to after the two departments merged.
"I've worked with women before, though, and they can condition just as well as men," she said.
But he said women could not build up as much muscle as men because they had less testosterone, a hormone that allows the growth of muscle fiber.
"I've seen women who are incredibly strong" he said, "but they just don't look like them."
Kephart said he had been working with the basketball team in conditioning and today he would begin working with the swimming team.
"But I'm here to work with all the athletes," he said. "I'm just waiting here for a coach."
Maneuver lengthens pot bill's life

A parliamentary maneuver by a Kansas House committee may ensure the survival of a bill reducing the penalties for marijuana possession.
"They are supposed to take action on Monday," Glover, the bill's sponsor, said. "If they don't, then we'll run the bill through the House."
The bill will go to the House for debate if a Kansas Senate committee does not act on it today, State Rep. Mike Glover, D-Lawrence, said yesterday.
The bill was submitted to both the Senate Judiciary and Senate Federal and State Affairs committees several weeks ago. The Senate Judiciary committee is scheduled to consider the bill today.
LAST YEAR, A similar marijuana bill was killed when the chairman of the Federal
and State Affairs Committee. State Sen.
Edward Kellan, R-Leavenworth, refused to
vote.
Last week, however, the House Judiciary Committee tacked the marijuana bill onto an unrelated bill that already had been passed by the Senate. If the House passes the amended bill, it will go straight to the floor, skipping the Senate committees.
Under the current law, the first conviction for possession is a class A misdemeanor. The penalty would remain the same no matter how many times a person was
Under th current law, the first conviction for possession is a class a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of $2,500, a year in jail or both.
THE SECOND conviction is a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in jail.
Glover has said that a law reducing penalties for marijuana possession would be less restrictive.
Glover said that 70 percent of all drug arrests in Kansas in 1977 had been for marijuana possession. He said that the new law would free law officials to concentrate on serious crimes against people and property.
Glover also said the state would save the $600,000 a year it spends enforcing the tax.
A bill reducing the penalties for marijuana possession was passed by the House in August.
Glover said last week that 50 of the representatives who had voted for the marijuana bill in 1977 were re-elected in November. He also said that about 10 of the new representatives said they would support the bill.
The House is scheduled to debate another bill concerning marijuana today
That bill, also sponsored by Glover, would allow manjuana use by glaucoma patients and by cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
THE BILL needs 63 votes to be passed in the House.
Research has shown that marjani slowns down the process of glaucoma, an eye disease that results in a gradual loss of vision. In an early marjani diagnosis it is also an effective painkiller.
New Mexico, Louisiana, Florida and Illinois have laws allowing the use of marijuana by glaucoma and cancer patients. Glover said.
This is the first time such a bill has been introduced in the Kansas Legislature. Glover said he was confident the House would pass the bill.
JRP to begin investigation of code violations

Disciplinary action will be begun against some residents or J. R. Pearson Hall for violations of residence hall rules.
"The staff and I have decided to pursue this," Frilki说.
"They will not get off scot-free. We'll talk to each resident involved and tell him we found what the safety checks."
Froki said a safety check was made during the weekend of March 10 as part of the procedure for closing the hall. During the check, a list was made of rooms containing stairs and street signs. Froki said the signs could have been stolen.
Folkl said residents of six or seven rooms were on the list of violators. He said none of those on the list had been
"HOWEVER, NONE of these people will be kicked out," he said. "Actually, I can't say that. A resident might be, but that would not be my decision. That would come from the office of residential programs."
Froik said a student could be removed from the hall if he were found guilty of the charges.
"We will stay in touch with the staff and the staff would bring any further action to us. That is the channel of procedure," she said. "We will be advising. If they think it's necessary, they will bring it further."
Ruth Mikkelson, associate director of the office of residential programs, said the JRP staff would take the
Mikkelsen said any final action would be made on an individual basis.
Mikkelson also said any action taken would be within the University.
However, he said residents were not told that rooms would be checked by staff members.
Frokk said signs were posted in the hall before break instructing residents to unpack electrical appliances and set up their own power stations.
"Before we kick someone out of the hall, we have to be sure they were the ones in violation," she said.
He said the violations that were found were in the open and there had no search of closets or drawers.
"IN THIS CASE, we know we wouldn't have enough of a case to bring criminal action."
"Those were my instructions from Fed McEliberean." McEliberean, director of the office of professional programs.
"As far as I know, some people still don't know that a check was made," he said. "Why didn't they tell us ahead of time? A few people are upset that the list was made without their knowledge and that nobody has been contacted yet."
A JRP resident said yesterday that he did not know the safety check would be made.
McElhene业, the office of the office of residential programs,
was out of town and unavailable for comment yesterday.
THE RESIDENCE hall contract savs:
"The University has the right to assign, reassign or adjust occupancy of rooms and enter rooms when required."
The contract then refers to the Student Rights and Responsibilities Code.
Article 21 of the code says:
"When the institution seeks access to a student room in a residence hall to determine compliance with provisions of applicable multiple dwelling unit laws for improvement or repairs, the occupant shall be notified of such action not only by notification but also by entry without notice in emergencies where imminent danger to life, safety, health, or property is reasonably feared."
ARTICLE 19 savs:
"Students have the right of privacy as any other citizen and surrender none of these rights by becoming members of the academic community. These rights of students are limited to the educational, institutional relationship or residence hall contract shall expressly or implyly give the institution or residence hall officials authority to consent to a search of a student's room."
Frohls said he did not think it was a problem that residents had not been notified in advance of the safety
"It's been done in residence halls in the last six years.
"It's here done in JRP every time we close the bell," he said.
*mrs. harris in HRP every time we close the hall.* he said.
University officials on entering student rooms will be discussed at tonight's Hall Assembly meeting, according to Mark Fouts, AUHF vice president. The meeting will be at 7:15 in the Walnut Room of the Kansas Union.

A nationwide drive to halt legislation that would revive the draft has made its appearance at the University of Kansas.
Petition opposes draft legislation
The local organization of the Students for a Libertarian Society is making plans for a petition drive from mid-April through late May, according to Bail Harb, Great Bend graduate student and spokesman for the campus group.
A national organization formed last year, the group is conducting the drive to win support for stopping a return to the draft. The national drive will start May 1 at high schools and other universities across the country.
Some legislators and military leaders have called for a return to the draft because of concern that the volunteer force might not be effective in a national emergency. The draft was dismantled in 1976.
Bahr said Saturday that the local group was trying to determine how much support the petition drive would get.
SEVEN BILLS calling for a return either to the draft or to draft registration are now before Congress.
The group published a notice in last Friday's Kansan asking people to contact about the petition.
Bahr said one of the bills would allow government access to university files. The government would use the files to get names and addresses of prospective recruits. That was not allowed under previous service acts, he said.
"What we're doing now is asking whether they would sign the petition and whether they would help in the petition drive," he said.
Bahr said the signed petitions would be sent to Kansas' U.S. senators and representatives.
THE PETITIONS state: "We the undersigned absolutely oppose any reinstatement of the draft, compulsory registration, or any program of forced national 'service.'"
Until the drive starts, the group will be distributing and posting anti-draft literature put out by the national organization, he said.
Bahr said the group favored dismantling the selective service system because it was a breach of individual freedom and rights.
Greg Palmer, Pittsburgh graduate student and a member of the local group, said, "We are opposed to any infringement upon individual rights to control one's own life. To extract a certain degree from a person's life is immoral."
Bahr said the organization thought the volunteer force was capable of defending the country.
"IN TIMES of emergency we'll find enough patriots," he said.
He said the national petition drive had the power to stop a return to the draft.
"You have to start somewhere," he said. "Whatever hope there is, it is the only hope. I think if we can get enough people interested, we can stop it."
