What is the limit students
will pay for a 50-minute
concert of estacy, escape and
entertainment?
Less than 10 years ago, a
top performer would play a
college campus for around
$1900. Today the minimum
price most performers will
consider a college engagement
is well in the five digit range.
"About 10 years ago,
colleges became a major factor
in the entertainment field,"
said Howard Henry, director of
Carolina Union. "In the past
year and a half, colleges have
become the largest single
entertainment buyers."
Folk music was the breaker
that first brought live
entertainment to colleges, said
Henry, recalling the music
trends of the past decade. Folk
music required a minimum of
equipment which was easily
transportable and the music
was greatly popular with the
college audience.

Opens Film Society
A rare showing next Monday evening of one of Charlie
Chaplin's finest films-THE GREAT DICTATOR-will begin the
Spring Season of the UNC Film Society.
Society showings are held on Monday nights in the School of
Public Health Auditorium, and season tickets can be purchased
for $5 from the Student Union (or at the door).
Tickets to individual shows will be sold at the door for $1, but
the season price includes 10 special films.
In THE GREAT DICTATOR (a 1940 release which has been
out of circulation for some time), Chaplin plays both a caricature
of Hitler and a barber who is mistaken for him. Jack Oakie spoofs
Mussolini.
Othr features in the Society's schedule include Howard Hawks'
RED RIVER (with John Wayne and Montgomery Clift); Jean-Luc
Godard's BAND OF OUTSIDERS; and Buster Keaton's
BATTLING BUTLER.
John Barrymore and Carole Lombard star in the classic
TWENTIETH CENTURY, for Society showing on April 13. Von
Sternberg's MOROCCO, starring Marlene Dietrich, will be shown
on May 11. , '.'
Also included in the spring program are, Susumu Hani's SHE
seems everything is amplified
down to violins and the
piccolo. And prices have
soared."
In the early '60s, UNC
booked Peter, Paul and Mary
for $1250 which Mr. Henry
laughingly admitted, "we
thought was almost alarmingly
high." Similarly, the Weavers,
the Serrindipity Singers and
the Chad Mitchell Trio were
each booked for around
$1000.
Carolina Union, then called
Graham Memorial Student
Union, began to expand it's
entertainment program and
facilities to meet the higher
prices and requirements for
electronic amplification.
"Today groups head for the
big money quicker because of
the emphasis on recordings,"
Mr. Henry noted.
Perhaps the most significant
recent factor occurred this past
summer with the popularity of
the rock festivals. "The rock
festivals began to break hard
rock into the South," he said.
"Last spring we were dubious
years to bring
entertainment to
Agents are more hesitant now
about committing themselves
and their performers.
"Performers today prefer to
play a major concert tour,
hitting the larger schools or
cities with the large audiences
et very high fees."
Folksinger Donovan's agent,
for example when asked about
the possibility of a campus
engagement, replied he didn't
know what the performer's
plans were, Henry recalled.
The noted singer can easily
play New York before a
capacity crowd and earn
$100,000. Credence Clearwater
Revival is now asking a
minimum of $25-830 thousand
for a single performance.
"My role is to bargain with
the agents to see how low we
can hold the price but agents
are in a position where they
'can almost demand the size of
an audience you must generate
to get a group. Performers had
rather play 10 large
engagements at one-third of
the gate giving them between
$50-$100,000-than to play
100 smaller engagements at
$5-$10 thousand each."
Last spring Carolina Union
brought Janis Joplin here for
$2 per seat before Carmichael's
7,000 capacity crowd. Later in
the spring she played Madison
Square Garden before a
capacity crowd of 18,000 and
grossed almost $100,000.
To bring the problem closer
home, the checkers stack up to
how UNC with its 7,000
capacity auditorium and
maximum ticket price of $3
(which was the fifth Dimension
tickets this fall, the highest
price ever for a single concert
here) will be able to compete
with the larger engagements
(such as Madison Square
Garden) which offer a capacity
crowd of 18,000 and a price
$50-$100 thousand.
Despite the trend of fewer,
but higher priced engagements,
many performers still enjoy the
rapport with a smaller
audience, which Henry noted is

Most of the groups which
appear at the rock festivals
receive relatively low fees (with
the noteable exception of Bob
Dylan in England). "Even
though the fee is low, the
exposure is great."

here and say so like Blood,

Another problem in
entertainment is that some
groups are simply not live
performers. "Some groups
depend heavily upon electronic
manipulation, which is possible
in the recording situation, but
not in the live performance.
These groups tolerate rather
than work with an audience,"
Henry commented.
About nine years ago, five
schools in this area met to
consider block-booking
(offering a "package deal"
assuring a performer of several
performances in one area) to
overcome some of these
problems.
"Block-booking has had
some success," Henry stated,
"but the basic problem is that
each school wants the group on
the weekend, and then too, the
top performers will rarely
block-book."

LABI RULE EASED
M'WKEPOGS'
Hot Dog With 15 Poultry
Is Held a Plain Frankfurter
B7 UOItad Pre. XotanuLtioeti
. WASHINGTON, Aug. 23
The Nixon Administration ruled
today that the content of hot
" dogs could 15 per cent
poultry without the special la
beling currently required for
'chIckendcg, products.
The Agriculture Department
said the decision " would take -effect
in early November. It
will apply to the use of chicken
and other poultry in federally
inspected cooked sausages, In
cluding frankfurters, knock
wurst end bologna.
At present, manufacturers
who use poultry meat in cooked
sausages must disclose this to
consumers by using a promi
nently displayed product nama
such as "cMckendogorrrank
furter with chicken."
Under the new rules, a hot
dog with up to 15 per cent
chicken can be labeled simply
as a "frankfurter."
Consumer groups, meanwhile,
lost one of 'their major points
in the labeling battle that had
dragged 'cn with heated ex
change" at times for inert
than a year.
The Agriculture Department;
as expected, rejected a consumer-backed
proposal that
manufacturers be required to
tell consumers the percentage
of each major Ingredient in hot
dogs and other cooked sau
sages. 1
The department's new ruling
specifies that when poultry is
used in sausages labeled "all
meat," processors can use only
skinless poultry meat. Sau
sages not labeled as "all meat
may contain limited amounts of
chicken skin.
Consumers will be able to
find out what ingredients the
frankfurter contains but not
necessarily the percentages by
reading the "statement of
ingredients" printed on labels
of federally inspected meat
products in small type. The
new rules require that chicken
or other poultry must be listed
among the ingredients ' when
used.
If more than 15 per cent
poultry is used in a cooked sau
sage, present labeling rules will
continue fcf effect-
the decision was regarded
as a partial victory for poultry
industry forces who had wanted
far broader permission to use
chicken la sausages to an al
most unlimited extent without
special labeling.
The department's ruling lib
eralized its initial proposal by
permitting u? to 1 per cent
bone residues In deboned poul
try instead cf the 0.5 per cent
originally proposed.
But despite protests from
some poultry industry spokes
men, the department continued
its ban on the use of poultry
kidneys and sex glands in
proposed
Dked sau-
cooked sausage products.
The chicken-in-sausag battle
was part cf a broader debate
over frankfurter contents that
also includes a still-unsettled
controversy over a
ceuing on fat in cool
sages.
The Johnson Administration
originally proposed last winter
that public hearings be held
on both issues.
The Nixon Administration
separated the two issues, hold
ing hearings on the fat content
in June but deciding the chick
en question on the basis cf writ
ten comments without any pub
lic hearings.
Officials said that when the
agency invited public comment,
it received 1,0 S3 letters, the
largest number ever received on
proposed changes in meat and
poultry inspection regulations.
Most cf the letters , wera from
consumers or consumer groups
opposed to the labeling change.
Mrs. Grant Displeased
In New York, Mrs. Diss Myer
son Grant, the Commissioner cf
'Consumer Affairs, tTprezzzl
unhappiness with the decision
last night She said she felt that
sausage products with chicken
in them should reflect that la
their name, and that the per
centage cf each Ingredient
should be indicated.
"It isn't really being honest"
not to do this, Mrs. Grant said.
"People should be able to tell
what s in hot degs or szMsigts
when they buy them," she said.
"Adding chicken must cheapen
the product, and people should
know it should be less expensive."
