How does one d e t e r m i n e which ' P r o - g r a m ' h a s ' C e n t r a l i t y ' in the college of liberal a r t s ? "

D e a r Editor,
When r e a d i n g the F e b . 28, 1977 edition of the Fiat Lux I c a m e a c r o s s t h e a r t i c l e
" W h y did they l e a v e " . No article printed in the Fiat Lux ever compelled m e to reply, but the quality and implications of this a r t i c l e could not be ignored. T h e r e - fore, you a r e hearing f r o m m e for the f i r s t time d u r i n g my four y e a r s a t Alfred.
I a l w a y s was lead to believe t h a t news r e p o r t i n g should b e as factual and unbiased as p o s s i b l e . The a r t i c l e presented a good c o v e r a g e of the facts on attritin this y e a r . These w e r e only isolated facts, though. Attrition is not an isolated subject. I t is related to the past, to other schools a n d to the n u m b e r of t r a n s f e r s . Where were the f a c t s a b o u t these relation- ships? In this a r t i c l e , no r e f e r e n c e points have been given to assess the quality or r e l e v a n c e of t h e f a c t s given.
Is this news r e p o r t i n g or misuse of the n e w s p a p e r m y money has be'en'Supporting for four y e a r s ?
To m a k e m y point c l e a r a s to the implications of this article, let me give you an a b s t r a c t exam pie. Would you go into a c a n d y s t o r e and pay
$50 for a c a n d y b a r without first r e f e r r i n g to the p r i c e of candy b a r s down the s t r e e t ? You m i g h t e v e n t r y to r e m e m b e r how m u c h you paid for a c a n d y b a r l a s t y e a r . If you d i d n ' t have these r e f e r e n c e points to e v a l u a t e the worth of the c a n d y b a r you would either blindly buy it out of d e s i r e or r e j e c t it b e c a u s e of the inability to m a k e a decision. Get m y point?
I'm not saying t h a t a t t r i t i o n m i g h t not be a problem a t A.U. All I ' m a s k i n g is t h a t you give m e the f a c t s so I c a n decide.

A g r e a t deal of c r e d i t is also due all of the v o l u n t e e r s who a s s i s t e d , and to donors who p e r s u a d e d their f r i e n d s to join the line.

Bonnie Raitt Concert Unprofitable for A.U.
By D. Scott Tom R u s h , R o g e r McGuinn, a n d Bonnie R a i t t f o u n d their w a y to the c o n c e r t - s t a r v e d A l f r e d c a m p u s ( o r " t h e t r o p i c s " a s Bonnie R a i t t p u t
it) last S a t u r d a y n i g h t a t 7 p . m . to p e r f o r m the f i r s t c o n c e r t Concep h a s spon- s o r e d t h i s y e a r . T h e i r p e r f o r m a n c e s r a n g e d f r o m good to m e d i o c r e .
T h e n i g h t w a s a g i t a t e d by u n e x p l a i n e d o c c u r a n c e s . . . Bonnie R a i t t a r r i v i n g l a t e in her custom m a d e luxury bus ( w i t h p a d d e d ceiling); R o g e r M c G u i n n m e a n d e r i n g t h r o u g h t h e p r e - c o n c e r t crowd passing out n u m b e r s written on slips of p a p e r and l a t e r d e d i c a t i n g a s o n g to whoever had the n u m b e r 19;
and Tom R u s h ' s lyrics.
Bonnie had a bad night all t h e way a r o u n d , a r r i v i n g late and c o m p l a i n i n g t h a t she w a n t e d to eat a t the B i g E l m s , a n d then c o m p l a i n i n g a b o u t the size of M c L a n e G y m . When she f i n a l l y had h e r t u r n on stage a t a b o u t 11 o'clock, she and her b a n d found their i n s t r u m e n t s un- t u n a b l e and the a c o u s t i c s undesirable. A f t e r the con- c e r t , Bonnie's m a n a g e r re- fused to let her be inter- viewed by either the F i a t Lux or WALF.
M a n y people felt a f t e r the c o n c e r t t h a t h e r show w a s n ' t w h a t it could have b e e n . Bonnie probably a g r e e d with its mediocrity. Her band j u s t d i d n ' t get it t o g e t h e r a n d her h e a r t w a s n ' t in her m u s i c — u n f o r t u n a t e l y , since m o s t of h e r b a l l a d s of l o v e - l o r n w o m e n a r e so d e p e n d e n t on her mood while she p l a y s t h e m .
R o g e r McGuinn and his band Thunderbird satisfied m o s t of his f a n s with s o m e old B y r d s tunes and plenty of n e w o n e s . H i s i m a g e c h a n g e d since his l a s t con- c e r t h e r e two y e a r s ago, f r o m cowboy to s w i n g e r , Ricken- b a c k e r to black silk, f l a n n e l
Schlegel
to yellow double-knit. His r a m b u n c t i o u s new lead gui- t a r i s t a l m o s t stole the show on s e v e r a l occasions with a voice t h a t is new to the neighborhood of c o u n t r y rock a n d a l e a d t h a t R o g e r depended on. The other m e m b e r s of his band a d d e d to the music, b u t d r u m s and b a s s a r e usually the l e a s t conspicuous.
Tom Rush s e t the tone for the evening. His p e r f o r - m a n c e was the m o s t sophis- ticated of the t h r e e . His w o r d s were witty and his lyrics teetered on the b r i n k of h u m o r and c h a u v i n i s m . He e a r n e d a lot of l a u g h s , clapping along, and the satis- faction of the crowd p l e a s e d by old favorites and new r e l e a s e s , f r o m his m o s t r e c e n t a l b u m , which he s a y s
"still m a k e s an e x c e l l e n t g i f t . "
U n f o r t u n a t e l y , this w a s the f i r s t and the l a s t of this y e a r ' s big n a m e b a n d s in c o n c e r t a t A.U..The total cost of the c o n c e r t to Concep w a s a b o u t $15,000. Of that, t h e y m a d e back a b o u t half, not allowing them to b r e a k even, but helping Concep spend the r e s t of the $7,000 left in their budget. According to C a t h y B r o c k m a n , the b a n d s cost:
R a i t t - $5,000., McGuinn -
$3,500., Rush - $2,000. Add 10% onto each f e e for the agent, plus $1,500 for sound e q u i p m e n t a n d $500 f o r a d v e r t i s i n g .
P u b l i c i t y w a s t h e m a i n problem in selling t i c k e t s , especially since WCMF in R o c h e s t e r r e f u s e d to a d v e r - tise the c o n c e r t since they had j u s t done so for the U n i v e r s i t y of R o c h e s t e r , w h e r e B o n n i e R a i t t a n d Michael F r a n k s played only two weeks ago. T h e r e w e r e also p r o b l e m s in other loca- tions. To b r e a k even on the concert, 3000 tickets would have had to be sold. Only 14-1500 w e r e sold.

By Rosemary Ricchio-Gombert
Button-Button, the 1st Inter- nation P h o t o g r a p h i c Button Show, opened this week with a festive celebration a t the Fosdick-Nelson Gallery.
The exhibition, which is a t times poignant and at o t h e r s w h i m s i c a l a n d h u m o r o u s , m a y be the most delightfully unique experience ever to take plae a t the Fosdick- N e l s o n . F o r a b o v e a n d beyond all artistic consider- ations, the show is " f u n " and a p p e a r s to be e x t r e m e l y enjoyable to everyone who views it.
Th is Alfred - initiated ex- hibition originated as a n Allenterm project under the s u p e r v i s i o n of H a r l a n d S n o d g r a s s , a s s i s t a n t - professor of painting in the College of C e r a m i c s . At t h a t t i m e over 2,000 applications for button a r t w e r e sent o u t to a r t i s t s all over the world.
Thus f a r the show consists of some 200 entries and is still growing. After its closing on M a r c h 28, t h e s h o w is scheduled to t r a v e l through- out the United States and a b r o a d .
