Jazz Concerts Limited
The Jazz Club has been told
by the administration that the
club will not be able to spon
sor any more major jazz con
certs until about 1961.
Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter, spe
cial assistant to the president for
student affairs, said yesterday
that presenting the major con
certs was “too much a financial
risk for a club with no adequate
means of income.”
However, Ronald Palmer and
Peter Duncan, present and past
Jazz Club presidents, were vigor
ously opposed to Bernreuter’s
action.

Palmer said there is about $l6OO

Bernreuter said the club had
been having financial trouble and
the administration had “helped
them arrange things” for the
Kenton and Four Freshman con
certs. “Now for the first time in
some while, the club is solvent,”
he added.

Palmer and Stuart Medwin,
Jan Club vice president, met
with Bernreuter that afternoon

However, they were unsuccess

not willing to change it, Palmer
said. ~
Palmer received a letter yes
