Spider play
Bobby McFerrin, two-time Grammy Award winner and scat singer for Levi's 501 jeans commercials, leads his audience in the song and motions of "Itsy-bitsy Spider." McFerrin was the star attraction Saturday night during the final evening of the 10th Annual Jayhawk Invitational Jazz Festival. During the song, McFerrin insisted that the house lights of Crafton-Preyer Theatre be turned up so he could see that she was doing the motions and singing along. The capacity audience responded with laughter and applause and gave McFerrin, the KU Jazz Singers and the KU Jazz Ensemble I a standing ovation. The three-night jazz festival, which also featured vocalist Ida Beth and trombone soloist Bill Watrous, was sponsored by SUA Special Events and the KU department of music and dance. The jazz singers and jazz ensemble performed each night of the festival.

Lawrence leaders take gifts to Soviet Union
Peace
By TODD COHEN
The three Lawrence residents traveling to the Soviet Union this week will take more than high hopes with them. Posters of tractor-art and a Lawrence Fire Department helmet also will make the trip.
Staff writer
Lawrence Mayor Sandra Praeger said yesterday that she would take as a gift a poster of Lawrence artist Stan Herd's tractor-art. The artwork, a vase of sunflowers sitting on a striped tablecloth, is on a 1,100-by 600-foot field near Eudora.
Herd planted soybeans for the background and tablecoth stripes, domestic sunflowers for the flowers, and alfalfa and clover for the vase. He created the flowers' centers by leaving bare plowed ground.
Herd gave Praeger six autographed posters of his work, which had been featured nationally on the cover of Farm Journal magazine, twice on CBS-TV's "On The Road with Charles Kuralt" and on other
Herd joked that because the Sunflower Army Ammunitions Plant near DeSoto was next to the field, the Soviets might have seen his work already, thanks to satellite surveillance.
programs and publications.
City Commissioner David Longhurst said, "We might ask them if they already have a picture of this."
Herd said he hoped his art could play a role in bringing about peace.
Praeger said, "I'm so pleased. His response was really heartwarming."
Lawrence Fire Chief Jim McSwan is sending a fire department helmet. He hopes Longhurst will be able to present the helmet to the Soviets as a memorial to the firefighters who died fighting the graphite fires at the Chernobyl nuclear plant disaster last April.
"Many of the immediate deaths were firefighters." MeSwain said yesterday. "The firefighters at Chernobyl made a last-ditch stand at the incident, fighting burning graphite.
which burns at 7,000 degrees.
"Firefighters feel a loss when other firefighters commit such an act of bravery to save their people. We recognize their commitment to their job."
Longhurst said he would try to deliver the helmet. He said he was moved emotionally by the sentiment of the Lawrence firefighters
Posters donated by the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, 336 Missouri St., also will be on the plane, Praeger said.
Soviet dissident to address Moscow forum
The posters, which feature a watercolor snow scene titled "Peace of Mind," were made by Lawrence artist Lois Copt, she said.
Longhurst said at Tuesday's city commission meeting that he also planned to take KU Jayhawk souvenirs.
Praeger said she would also take a scrapbook of letters and photographs from students at West Junior High. He also has keyral keys to the city of Lawrence.
