Concerts Ml UM Considers New Site By DIANE RENNICK Of The Hurricene Staff Negotiations are underway between Miami-Dade Community College (south campus) and the University of Miami that could produce a "unified concert series". A proposal to hold UM concerts in Dade South'* gymnasium (11011 SW 104th St.) has been approved by the Miami-Dade administration. The UM administration, however, has not yet approved the proposal. Miami-Dade does not have the funds to hire performers but they have a performance area, said Kay Whitten, UM Student Union Program Director. UM has the money for acts, she said, but lacks a decent place for concerts. "The agreement should be made equitable to both sides," Mrs. Whitten said. .' ie said UM wants lo iron out some differences in the proposal before approving it. Presently, under the proposal, UM will pay for the acts, rental of the 5,000 ca- p a c i t y gym, equipment, maintenance and security. UM students will be admitted free. Dade will be given an ■filmed number of tickets to be sold to its students. In an original proposal, Mrs. Whitten said, Dade was to be given 1.500 tickets in sell al S3 per ticket. Under that proposal, she said, Dade would profit Sl.ooi'i However, she said, a more recent proposal gives Dade 2,000 tickets at $2.50 per ticket, without any profit.

However, the referendum, which would benefit the Florida Public Interest Research Group (FPIRG), must now be approved by the administration. "I seriously doubt the administration will okay the FPIRG program," Linda Weeks, UM FPIRG president said. When the Hurricane went to press, Dr. William Butler, vice president of Student Affairs said he could not comment on the administration's stand because of a lack of information. The referendum was originally approved in December by a student vote. However, the Student Senate rejected FPIRG at that time because of a lack of a clear funding mechanism. FPIRG is a student controlled and financed organization with the purpose of research and advocacy in the public interest. Under the proposal, students who don't want to pay the $1.50 can obtain a refund shortly after registration. Ms. Weeks said the refund of the FPIRG portion of the student activity fee might be an objection of the administration. "But," she said, "other schools have worked out this problem.'"

THOMPSON Of Trie Hurricene Staff The lecture series is alive and well at the University of Miami. The list of lecturers currently under consideration Includes Linda Lovelace, Ralph Natter, Lilly Tomlin, Erich Segall, Ed McMahon, Billy Jean King, Bobby Fischer, Katherin* Hepburn, Jesse Owen and Art Buchwald. However, definite an nouncements can't be made as to who will appear, because booking agencies can't commit their clients too far in advance, said Dean James Brodie, Executive Secretary of the lecture Series. An example, he said, was the scheduled September booking of Senator Howard Baker, who was forced to cancel because of his work in the Watergate investigation. James McCord, another Watergate personality, was booked in the event Baker cancelled. Four days before Ihe lee ture date. Sept D. Federal Judge Sirica injoined McCord from further speaking engagemenis Congressman Paul M key was signed in his place. The Lecture Series Committee, Brodie said, must deal with a $12,000 budget. Most personalities charge between $1,500 and $2,500 not including incidental expenses such as meals and accommodations. The Lecture Scries some- limes gets (lightly reduced rates because it has been working through the same ihree or four agencies for several years, Brodie said. The Committee tries to hook people who will appeal to the whole campus community, not only to a small group. "We can'i afford ■ small turnout with a limited budget," Brodie said.
