Four bands to battle at Hoch
Music performances to be mixed with the comedy of MTV's Pauly Shore
By Nedra Beth Randolph
The Battle of the Bands will have more than just music.
This year's show, at 7:15 tonight in Hoch Auditorium, will feature comedian Pauly Shore from MTV as well as four local bands. Shore is the host of a show called "Totally Pauly", which airs at 3:30 p.m. daily on MTV.
Joe Litvag and Laura Rubin, St Louis, Mo., juniors, coordinated the event with SUA. Litvag said this was the second year for the Battle of the Bands at the University of Kansas
"I'm anticipating a sellout this year," he said. "And with Pauly Shore, it's highly possible."
Shore's comedy act during the Battle of the Bands will be the kickoff of his college comedy tour, Litvag said. MTV will tape "Totally Paired" today at Wesco Hall and Shore's performance tonight at Audio Hotto-
"There will be a whole week's worth of shows from KU and Lawrence taped while Pauly is here." Litvag said.
Scott Iverson, recreation coordinator for SUA, said he helped bring Shore to campus.
"We've had big draws here at the University of Kansas before," he said. "This one should be a real crowd-pleaser."
Along with Shore, the audience will see 30 minutes of music each from four bands: Kill White, The Backsiders. The Mood and Baghdad Joner
Dave Learned, bass player for Baghdad Jones, said his band was invited late last fall to play at the Battle of the Bands.
He said he hoped his band would
gain some good exposure from the show.
"If people go to bars, then they have probably seen us before," he said. "But with the Battle of the Bands, others who haven't seen us before might get to. And it would be great if we were on MTV."
Zeta Beta Tau and Sigma Delta Tau are co-sponsoring the event with SUA. All proceeds will go to National Prevention of Child Abuse and the Parents of Parents Anonymous. Tickets cost $8 in advance and $10 at the door.
Finance committee passes organization budget
The Student Senate Finance Committee voted last night to approve its recommended budget for student organizations for next year.
The total recommended budget for student organizations is $70,846. The committee was charged with cutting almost $64,000 from the requests.
Senate is scheduled to vote on vote
on legislation ending a budget process
that blocks new government programs.

The committee recommended that three groups receive no financing from Senate for next year. They
included Consumer Affairs, a Lawrence consumer organization which requested $10.075 for next year, Commuter's Club, which requested $1.375, and Helping Hands Day Care, which requested $19.800.
Finance committee members said that their recommendation for Consumer Affairs was based on their perception that the group did not do anything that Legal Services for Students did not do.
Commuter's Club requested money for a newsletter. In lieu of that, the committee recommended that the
Organization of Adult Knowledge Seekers, an organization for nontraditional students, use part of its newsletter to provide information for commuters.
Helping Hands Day Care's request of $19,800 was ruled out of order on the grounds that the center provided the same service as the Hilltop Child Development Center.
In other action, the finance committee approved six bills totaling $12,672. Those bills will be voted on in Senate next week.
One bill would allocate $4,500 to help pay honoraria for four speakers at a conference sponsored by Black Men of Today on April 19 and 20.
The committee voted to recommend that Senate allocate $4,698 for a powwow that the Native American Student Association will sponsor April 20.
The other bills will finance free movies during finals, the last issue of Culture Shock, the annual Art on the Screen festival and promotion of Secure Cab

If platforms decide elections, KU students voting in Student Senate elections will not have a wide range of candidates, whether to vote for Facts or Impact.
However, Darren Fulcher, Impact presidential candidate, said students needed to look beyond the issues and see the people in the coalitions.
Jason McIntosh, Facts presidential candidate, said that both issues and policies should be considered.
"The quality of Senate depends on the people involved in it," he said.
McNishot said Facts have a diverse group of students, including international students and student leaders living groups and professional schools.
Michael Sullivan, co-director of Gay and Lesbian Services of Kansas, said that he was approached by both coalitions' leaders but that he had committed to run on the Impact ticket.
Kathryn Price, Wichita freshman, is running on the Facts coalition for a Nunemaker seat. She said she thought McIntosh and vice president candidate Giles Smith were open to new ideas.
Fulcher asked him first to run as a Senate candidate, and he did not consider changing when Facts approached him, he said.
"I really respect that Darren has made the effort to get representatives from many student groups on campus." Sullivan said.
Fulcher said Impact had candidates from all across campus, including fraternities, sororities, residence balls and minority groups.
we've been able to get a mixture of people who represent KU". Fulcher said. "My plan was to get a mixture that the coalition was diverse."
The coalitions present similar platforms. Campus safety in the form of fire drills and other safety measures both groups. The environment and conservation also are issues that both
groups have said they would deal with.
Both Impact and Facts address issues of graduate students, such as research assistants' fee waivers and increasing graduate representation in student government. Both coalitions also listed minority concerns and cultural diversity as issues they wanted to take on.
The structure of Senate will allow it to address the issues both coalitions have in common, and both coalition's leaders have said that they merely would step up involvement in those issues.
Facts and Impact each have one unique platform issue.
Impact has proposed a minority recruitment and retention program that would attract minority students and involve them in the University
Fulcher said 10 to 15 students would be charged with writing letters and assisting the offices of admissions and minority affairs in recruiting minority students to the University.
Facts has proposed a professional note-taking service for lecture classes. Students would pay about $14 a semester to use the service, which would provide typed copies of lecture notes. McIntosh said.
The program could be in place as early as next fall. he said.
Melntosh said a trial program in five classes could be instituted in the fall.
Final Four increases absentee voting
The note-takers would be students who had taken the class before and prepaRED for it.

Davis was casting an absentee ballot the coming city elections because she will be in Indianapolis for the NCAA Basketball Tournament on Monday, which is election day.
Indy-bound fans fulfill civic duties

Last-minute trips to Indianapolis to catch the Final Four fever have some Lawrence voters taking care of civic duties a little earlier than
Absentee voting for the April 2 election has stepped up this week because of the exodus to Indianapolis, county officials said.
"We've had a real run today," said Patty Jaimes, Douglas County clerk, yesterday. "And they all are heading in that direction."
Jaimes said she was worried that other registered voters going to Indianapolis would not return on time Tuesday to vote in the election, diminishing what she estimates will be a 25 to 40 percent voter turnout.
Sherry Benda, who works in the Allen Field House ticket office, said that 3,000 NCAA tickets would be sold to Lawrence residents included. About half of the tickets will go to contributors to the Williams Fund.
Jaimes said that to fill out an absentee ballot, a registered voter would have to apply for and sign an absentee ballot and return the ballot by April 2.
"Sometimes people have the per-
ception that they will have to stand
in line to vote," she said. "They
have to get out of here within
five minutes."
Although the deadline for applying for an absentee ballot is noon Monday, Jaimes said those with absentee ballots would have to file before they left.
"They'll want to file Friday because they should be out of town by then," she said.
April 2, Lawrence voters will elect three people to the City Commission and four people to the Lawrence district school board. Voters also will be asked about a construction to widen 5th street between Monterey Way and Wakarus Drive.
