—The Daily Collegian Friday, May 5, 1978 Entertainment remains Ist goal Colloiluy... 'shift. a try atdivOrsity, By DAVID VanHORN Daily Collegian Staff Writer There has been little shift in emphasis from entertainment to education in Colloquy's programming, Lisa Schwab, president of the organization, siad. Schwab said there has not been a shift, but the number of major speakers is -elated to the amount of money Colloquy las \to work with. Thus, she said, the ,hift from major entertainment speakers to programs, such as the Wide World of Health, which had no major speakers, was made not to be less en tertaining, but to compensate for the lack of funds and to add diversity. "We're not trying to sacrifice quality We're looking for a balance," she said. Schwab said she was "disappointed" with last Friday's Daily Collegian headline saying Colloguy "wants" .$34,000 for next year. She said she doesn't expect Colloquy to get their . proposed sum, but hopes the organization will receive about $25,000, as much as they had this year. "We're providing a ' service to students, but the headline made us look greedy," Schwab said. "We do not hqve selfish goals." • .Speakers Committee Chairman Pete Michaelson said the cost, of major speakers has risen at a surprising rate.

Colloquy's programs cost $2-3,000 A Oilloquy-sponsoied program' costs between $2,000 and $3,500, Lisa Schwab, president of Colloquy, said. This prices includes transpoitation, accommodations and the agent's fee for the speaker. Colloquy spends an tad ditional $4OO-$5OO per program for publicity, tickets and auditorium rental. Speakers like James Michener and Dr. Louis Debakey were exceptions. They spoke at reduced costs because they wanted to speak at the University and also because .they are friends of University officials, Schwab said. "We like exceptions," Schwab said; "but we don't count on them." 101 Heister St. , , 234-6845 11__LthIEUte - RENT-ALLS 140 N.

"We usually sponsor a movie to raise money for that," Schwab said. A main speaker is employed oc casionally to stimulate ' interest for Colloquy workshops. Workshop speakers are ' generally University and local persons who speak on a particular subject free of charge. Costs , for University Concert Com mittee events depend ,on the bands' ! contracts. Some bands' prices include meals, lodging and transportation. Others have the UCC handle these charges it is less trouble for the band. -.1 "I would like: to, see a base formed from the University, and structured around the main speaker," he said: "Our ' major object right- now is to form a program interesting to, the whole population, with well-known speakers within the confines of our budget," Michaelson said. Schwab said two to six workshops are incorporated into each program to Wing people in fri'mp,the,community,and to create interest in the topic .for small groups. Michaelson'' also said tfie volunteer workshOps, are a "viable alternative." Rec Hall, lighting and. publicity are additional 'costs for UCC, UCC President-elect Bob Coppenhaver said. A rock band such as America or the Doobie Brothers can cost s3o,ooo‘while the Tubes or Harry Chapin run about $lO,OOO. UCC is concentrating on its Mini Concert Series, ' a , program designed to satisfy small audiences with a diversity of musical tastes-, Coppenhaver said. Jazz Club Treasurer, Terry L.
