UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Friday. November 22,1996 5A Concert to benefit environment 6 bands to play at the Granada By Dave Breitenstein Kansan staff writer Six bands will be creating more than music this weekend. KU Environs is sponsoring a benefit concert beginning at 8 p.m. Sunday at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., to help support and promote the organization. A $4 cover charge will be collected at the door, which will help defray costs for future lecturers and other group expenditures. "It's at the Granada, and all the bands there are accomplished and really good," said Matt Caldwell. Lawrence junior and coordinator of Enviros. "I think it's wonderful that they're donating their time. They're not the average college bands; they're thoughtful and care about the environment." The six bands, which are not paid, include: Al Trout's Hokum Washboard Band, Einstein, Freeverse, Octavia, One Inch in the Way and Safety Orange. Caldwell said the Granada had hosted benefit concerts before, so it was easy to get the club to allow Environs to use the facility to make money. "By having this at the Granada, we're getting good press and advertising loudly about our group," he said. "These bands are all pretty hot." Natalie Sullivan, Kansas City, Mo., junior and Environs treasurer, said traditional benefit concerts were a source of additional fund raising for the group. In the past, the group has made around $300 to $500 from concerts, and this year's profit will primarily go toward funding Dr. Owens Wiwa's speech in early December. "We're lucky we got them to do it," she said. "We're hoping for at least 150 people to come to the concert. The fact that we have six bands that play a variety of music makes this year's show better than last year's." Brett Mosiman, owner of Pipeline Productions and the Granada, said the club usually sponsored one or two benefit concerts per month for charitable organizations. He said Environs would receive the cover charges collected at the door, but production costs would come out of that revenue. "It's for a good cause," he said. "I think the band benefit lends itself well to local charities. We always hope the turnout is good because it's for a double-good cause. You can get a two-for-one deal. You get to see bands and give money to a worthwhile organization." Mosiman said Environs would not get rich from the concert, but it should make a small profit. "I don't know if it's a main source of income, but it's an auxiliary source for Environs to make a little money," he said. "If it's a benefit for a campus group, most students will probably be aware of it. We are mostly a student-based business anyway." Jenni Venzyk, guitarist and singer for Free Verse, said the band wanted to perform at the Environs benefit because both groups supported similar environmental causes. "I think the group needs to get promoted more," he said. "They do a hell of a lot of work for how many people they have." KANU to air business news By Erin Rooney Kansan staff writer Business students may be able to update their homework before they go to class by switching on the radio. KANU, 91.5 FM, will begin a weekly business and financial news broadcast today. KANU received a $10,100 grant from United Missouri Bank to produce a weekly business report that will be broadcast for the first time this morning. The four to eight minute Friday Business Report will run twice during the 5 to 9 a.m. Morning Edition. The grant was solicited as a result of KANU listeners and supporters requesting more business news during the daily news programming. The purpose of the report is to explore topics in the business and financial industries. "This will be the only in-depth reporting of business issues in the broadcast media in the state of Kansas," said Nick Haines, KANU news director. Today's broadcast will report the effects of increased casino gambling on Kansas businesses. Next week's report will focus on the expansion of cities and how this effects city's downtown districts. "The grant will be used as unrestricted money in the news department," said Kathryn Wiese, KANU director of development. "I think the money will strengthen the reporting that the news team produces." Argument turns violent Boyfriend slapped with battery charges By Andrea Albright Kansan staff writer An argument during a messy breakup escalated into a physical attack in McCollum Hall Wednesday. Justin A. Martinez, Manhattan freshman, was arrested at McCollum after he allegedly slapped his girlfriend who also lives in the hall. KU police Sgt. Schem Keary said that the girlfriend had gone to Mar- tinez's room at about 2 p.m. to discuss ending her relationship with Martinez. "Apparently she asked for some of her things back that were in his room," Keary said. During the ensuing argument, Keary said Martinez allegedly slapped the woman in the face twice. KU police contacted the woman in the lobby of McCollum Wednesday, where police arrested Martinez and transported him to the Douglas County jail. ance in court yesterday. He was charged with battery, and bond was set at $500. The court agreed to release Martinez on the condition that he have no contact with the victim. Martinez made his first appear- Jean Schmidt, assistant district attorney, said that although the two live in the same residence hall, she did not think there would be any problems. "Incidental contact is all right," Schmidt said. "But if he sees her on an elevator, he should turn around and wait for the next one." Martinez's preliminary hearing will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Dec. 18. Student arrested for allegedly selling drugs KU police executed a search warrant yesterday that led to a KU student's arrest for allegedly selling drugs from from his apartment in Jayhawker Towers. Kansan staff report John C. Craven, Hannibal, Mo., freshman, made his first appearance in Douglas County court yesterday. He was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia and failing to have a tax stamp. Sgt. Chris Keary said KU police had received enough information about the residence in Tower D to acquire a warrant to search the premises. Keary said the search yielded a scale, a bong and what police believed to be marijuana. Craven was released yesterday to his father, Tim Craven, who signed his bond. By signing the bond, Tim Craven agreed that if his son does not appear in court for the preliminary hearing, he will pay the court the $4,500 bond that was set at the first appearance. Craven's preliminary hearing will be held at 14:5 p.m. on Dec. 5. Student eyes spot in AIAS By Erlin Rooney Kaosan staff writer A KU architecture and design student will spend his Thanksgiving break in Washington, D.C. campaigning to be the American Institute of Architecture Students' next national vice president. Dave Broz Dave Broz, Lisle, Ill., is a fifth-year senior majoring in architecture with an emphasis in environmental law and urban planning. He is one of four seniors nationwide seeking the office. More than 140 colleges and universities have chapters of the institute. The organization promotes architectural education. training and practice, and advancements in architecture. "It's a great opportunity for the University of Kansas' Architecture School to have this kind of recognition nationally." Broz said. The vice president serves from July 1, 1997, to July 31, 1998. If elected, Broz would graduate in May and move to Washington D.C. to work as a paid intern in the institute's national office. This year's vice president, Casius Pealer, a graduate of Tulane University, said that time management was the position's biggest challenge. "it's hard to do a lot of the research you have to do in the midst of the day-to-day activities," Pealer said. However, Broz thinks that he is qualified for the position. "It itse like a culmination of my leadership experience. I'm interested in the betterment of the organization, and I think that I can make a positive change in it," Broz said. His goals, stated in his campaign platform, are to increase communication between the national office, local chapters and their members and to implement a salary donation program to raise money for individual chapters. Broz is running against students from the University of Colorado at Denver, Andrews University in Berrin Springs, Mich., and Texas A&M in College Station. "The competition is going to be pretty stiff," he said. Broz will be nominated by Chad Boomgaarden, Omaha senior, on Tuesday in the council of presidents. He will caucus and be a part of issue debates until Friday morning. He will know by Friday afternoon if he will be the institute's next vice president.
