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.
Schwab said next yeai's program will be
held in Eisenhower and Schwab •

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."

There is a 'reception after each
program for the speaker and Colloquy
members. "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.

"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. Katz
said, "Prices for a jazz band can extend
from $3OO to $5,000. Some nationally
exposed groups like George Benson can
cost over $10,000." —by Anita J. Spiegle
