chairman and Ferndale senior.

will be to encourage eampus

concerts to CMU to funnel their
desires through the committee,

Reasons given for the new

for teaching English, and the
problem   of   offering   an . English

from the series.
"We want to keep most of the
control within one chief organnuition
-' the committee,*' Ssymaaski sa*«V
"but we encourage any group* to
become involved. The cooimittoe at
first might seem like a dictatorship,
but when we will call an all-campus
meeting aad take suggestions for
concerts our goal of involvement win
become  apparent"
"Then," he continued, "that
organization wishing to put on a
concert call help the committee set it
up. PB will fund all concerts, and a
percentage of the profits will go to
that organization." The remainder
will channel back into PB.
Men's Union and WCHP are
therefore required to file all concert
requests with the committee, as are
all other campus organizations.
Szymanski explained a purpose
for the new setup, too, is to allow
organizations which have been interested in scheduling concerts to
pursue their real duties without
worring about obtaining major rock
groups.; Specifically, he mentioned
Men's Union and WCHP, the former's goals ideally being to "provide
for men's needs" and tha letter's to
operate « radio station* .
The restructuring, resulted
primarily from a mixup in the
scheduling of a major concert for
Homecoming. Men's Union, PB and
WCHP had equal interests in obtaining « group, but a lack; of «om*
According to Chip Lusko, WCHP
station manager and Bloomfield
Hills senior, Earth and Bob Seger
were possibilities for Homecoming,
but the chances for obtaining one or
more of them dissolved because of
"poor planning" of organizations
.involved.
In an effort to compensate for
the lack of a Homecoming concert
and poor grade of concerts at CMU
lately, the concert committee is
making an all-out effort to obtain two
or three top-notch rock groups
* during Winter Semester.
The first', Chicago, remains a
"good possibility" for January, said
- Szymanski, and the Moody Blues and
Rod Stewart are being strongly
considered for performances,
throughout the semester.
However,   such   groups   are
expensive, and tickets for each of
- those concerts would likely be about
'-$5,-jaid-Szymanski*  .---=-- .^

"Our goal is to get two or three
"good-aised—--^groups? probably
charging $5 per ticket, with smaller
groups scheduled in between," he
said. "We're also looking into the
possibility of booking free concert*
andJieving a-Setthtof .the Bands."
Ruiz feels if the committee "can
get 10 different organizations, for
example, into the concert picture we
will in effect be reaching 10 types of
people. By that, we will be getting
more people involved .and can obtain
different types of bands and concerts."
