K-tel . . .
Continued from Page 12
Joe Kalina. 24, 1741 K St., said he
listened to a K-tel compilation of older
rock songs.
"It wasn't too bad" he said. "Most of
the songs were big songs.'
He said the quality of the record was
pretty good, adding that they were "the
original versions, as far as I could tell;"
K-tel records and tapes, priced at $3.49
and $3.99 at the Walgreens Drug Store,
make fairly good sellers, said Clinton
Schlake, assistant manager at the down
town store.
He said the store receives the products"
on a consignment basis but said it was dif
ficult to determine what kind of profit
Walgreens makes on them, "
Art Sarka, an employee at Musicland at
Treasure City, estimated that about 500
K-Tel tapes and records are sold there every
two months, the length of a promotional
period,
He said the K-tel advertisements are the
key to their success.
Sarka said no one artist or concept sold
more than others.
"It draws in all the different people," he
said.
He said the records and tapes, priced at
$6.99 and $7.99, contain full versions by
the original artists.
Sarka said there have been no out-of-the-ordinary
complaints about the pro
ducts and said they were just like any
other album.
"The quality has improved over the
years. . . now it's listenable," he said.
The distribution of k-tel records and
tapes at Woolco also has been successful,
said Ken Thompson, merchandise manager.
He said the Lincoln store sells 72 to 120
K-tel records and tapes a month. The price
of an album is $5 to $6 and tapes are$6
to $7,
Thompson also said he thought the
quality of the products are pretty good.
He said the rock'n'roll compilations
were the biggest sellers.
Rodeo
Continued from Page 12
He said an indoor rodeo can't compare to an outdoor
one 'because of the weather conditions for participants
and the audience,
Same conditions
The audience can enjoy the performance without dust
in contact lenses or rain or sun on their backs, he said, and
riders also have an advantage because the athletes have the
same conditions every day,
Another member of the audience said it washer first
rodeo and added, "It doesn't seem real, It doesn't seem
possible that those are world champions,"
But Debbie Rhoades, a UNL student said she "enjoyed
watching the animals-almost more than the talent,"
, Other members of the audience said this was their first
rodeo, ':."'; - .
. Gander said his promotional strategy is geared for
everyone ; ftoin, "two-year-olds to 402-year-olds' with a
special emphasis on children.
This was accomplished by clown acts and other side
acts including Merrily Steffen and her trained border
collies, an Indian war dance and the Schlitz Malt Liquor
bull, '
Patriotic theme
A patriotic theme shone through when the national
anthem was preceded by a tape of John Wayne speaking
on what the United States meant to him,
Gander said this was included because "anybody who
has ever wanted to be a cowboy or is a cowboy admires
' John Wayne, This was our tribute to him,"
He said the theme also stemmed from the Olympics
and the Afghanistan situation,
The crowd not only responded favorably to the flags
and splendor, but also to the riders,
Gander said he was leery of the reaction in Lincoln
since "a lot of people have seen a lot of rodeos." He said
when the company performs in Minneapolis the crowds
are on their feet through the whole show, but he said he
knew when they came to Lincoln "if it wasn't football, it
wouldn't be a sport,"
The company soon will travel to New York for 24
shows and Gander said the New York crowd will have an
entirely different reaction,
"In New York they'll reach out and touch you in the
halls, A rodeo athlete is held in more awe and esteem,"
Gander said that in Nebraska it is nothing to see a man
walking down the street in a cowboy hat and cowboy
boots,
"You can't tell a Rexall cowboy from the real thing "
