Dirt Band returns to K-State; records live album The mystique of a rock band can impart an awe and reverence in its fans which makes them want to see the group again and again. This was the case with Nitty Gritty Dirt Band ' s return visit to the K-State campus. Many students saw them on their first visit and enjoyed their music so much they attended the se- cond concert. Others, having missed the first concert, received another chance to view the musical antics of the Dirt Band. Many people were lured by the Earl Scruggs Revue and by the an- nouncement of a live recording for a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album. Both shows were sell-outs, prov- ing to the Dirt Band that they are welcome at K-State. Each show featured an hour of the Scruggs Revue ' s rock-bluegrass sound, followed by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band ' s entertaining show. NGDB played many songs and performed their Fifties routine, complete with slicked-down hair, three-Inch cuffs, and switchblades. The second show was climaxed by a jam session combining Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the Scruggs Revue. The songs were old spirituals spark- ed with new life by the combined ef- forts of the two groups. The audience responded ex- uberantly; they were on their feet and clapping much of the time. The Dirt Band ' s jokes and gags drew endless laughter, creating a mood of involvement and enjoy- ment. Some students criticized that Nitty Gritty Dirt Band ' s second whole new show was an exact replica of the fall performance — evidenced by the repetition of the Fifties skit per- formed during their first visit. However, there can be no mistake that the response was indeed the same: Can ' t wait ' till they come back. 24—Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

Troy Perry is not an average minister. And his congregation Is not too typical either. Perry and his flock are professed homosex- uals. The subject of Perry ' s March 2 speech was the gay community. It was sponsored by UFM, Union New s and Views, and the Manhat- tan Gay Consciousness Group as part of the Alternatives Conference. Perry Is minister of the Metropolitan Community Church in Los Angeles. The gay community is Ilke any other minority group, Perry ex- plained. Homosexuals have no ' H ' stamped on their foreheads; homosexual men don ' t all wear dresses, Perry said. Perry lamented the preconceiv- ed notions most people have about homosexuals. These are evident In archaic laws that per- mit punishment for homosexual behavior. Jesus never said, ' Come to me all you heterosexuals ' , Perry stated. He said, ' Come unto me all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest ' . A new populist movement and a return of political power to the people were the ideals expounded by Sen. Fred Harris in an All-University Convoca- tion March 16. Harris, Oklahoma Democrat. was first to announce his bid for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Harris called for a redistribu- tion of the country ' s wealth from the corporate intersts back to the common man. Most people don ' t feel that the political process will deliver on their legitimate complaints, Harris said. Consequently, there exists In America today a kind of hopelessness. Harris said he feels such matters as health care and the right to good housing should be basic to all people. 1--NS sAS STATE ' UNIVERSITY CONVOCATIONS •Spr 115) ' polik r
