Ai THE cArDiTousir "All The News That Fits ... . We Print" Vol. X. No. 7 Music-Arts Festival is here By R.W. Bonaker Ed. Note: The following is background information concerning the Spring Music/Arts Festival which gets underway today. A calendar of events for the festival appears on page 4. This week marks the Spring Music/Arts Festival with events slated for four days. In the past two years, a one•day rock festival was the' big spring event, last year's affair drawing nearly 30,000 people to the campus on a bright sunday for 12 hours of rock music. A variety of events will be presented this week including folk and rock music, a film festival, a block party, arts and crafts show and classical music. "At the beginning, it appeared there might not be any event at all," said Paul Mirabile, Coordinator for Goodpeople Productions, citing, "flack from various areas." He related compromises were reached and currently "everyone is pretty happy with the format." The Social Affairs Committee budgeted $2,000 for 4 the event while the SslA allocated $l,OOO. Festival officials estimate that between 8,000 and 25,000 people will be in attendance for the main events; the folk concert on Saturday and the rock concert on Sunday. The main event site is located in the ravine between the engineering laboratory and the university apartments near the main entrance to the campus. All campus residents are asked by festival officials to walk, to the site from the living areas to help cut down expected traffic congestion. BUSINESS PROGRAM CHANGES c DEGREE The governmental mechanisms at Capitol Campus have changed the baccalaureate degree nomenclature in the Business Program. The proposed degree to be awarded will be a Bachelor of Business Administration as opposed to the Bachelor of Business. The change has been forwarded by campus Provost Robert E. McDermott to university Provost Russell Larson. Final approval must come from the board of trustees. The curriculum committee of the Business Program initiated the proposal and it was unanimously approved by that group, according to Dr. Ralph Frey, Assoc. Prof. of Business and Accounting. In turn, the three division heads approved the measure and forwarded it to the Academic Affairs Committee of Faculty Council. The committee and the council approved it and passed it to McDermott. Frey and Dr. Robert J. Brown, Assoc. Dean of Faculty outlines some of the motives regarding the proposed change. They said the new degree will be "more in line" with the degree awarded at the masters level in the Division of Administration and Business. Frey said some of the students in the Business Program thought the Bachelor of Business degree was not very attractive, especially when Mirabile said a bigger event was planned because there was a "shift in mood so far as what we should be doing as a campus. We wanted a variety of events that pertain more to campus people, so we cut down on general advertising and emphasized a college audience." He also said the purpose of the festival is "for people who want to have a good time to have a good time," adding that those involved in planning and organizing the event have received "incredible experience in working with and viewing organizational behavior." No raindate has been set for the concerts because, as Festival officials put it, "there is so much going on in the area of group commitments, expenses and logistics." Dick Mulfinger, past president of the XGIs is coordinating the concessions through Servomation, Inc. The entire event is non-profit as there is free admission, except for the film festival. The only profit that can be gained is through concessions, to help cover the enormous cost involved. One-third of the profits taken from concessions will be given to the XGI fraternity; the remainder going to Servomation. In turn, the XGIs will give '7O percent of their monies to the Social Committee. Don Snyder, Social Committee Chairman, has lined up a film festival that will last nearly eight hours. The showing begins tomorrow night at 8:00 p.m. in the Student Center with the Classic "Reefer Madness" highlighting the features. The festival actually begins today with the Philadelphia Chamber Soloists in the Gallery Lounge at 2:30 p.m: Mike Leasher is coordinating the arts and crafts show and the students are looking for jobs. Brown thought the proposed change may aid in student recruiting purposes. If the degree change is indeed approved by the board of trustees it will mark the first time an alteration of that type has occured at Capitol Campus. Bathtub Race Dance The Social Committee will sponsor a Bathtub Race Dance on Tuesday, May 22, in the Student Center from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. The music will be provided by "The Sound Commission," who present a wide variety of dancing music - Rolling Stones to Oldies.

Alio, there will be an exhibit by the Photo Club in the Gallery Lounge throughout the week. Mike said students and off-campus people can sell their crafts on Saturday and sunday at the main event site from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. "It's a good opportunity for students to participate and sell candles, bottles, clothing, leather, pottery and other crafts," he said. The Saturday night affair "will be a jam system, similar to the 'Rites of Spring', with on-campus talent." Many people have participated in the planning stages for the festival.
