The Communications Media Board allotment of $44,000 was withheld and postponed because of a question about the distribution of certain requested funds. In question was the $9,420.00 to finance WSOE, the Elon student radio station. Senator Bill Zint, the station manager questioned the use of the addition of $2000 over the amount he has requested.

Berryman added that if a large loss is incurred in the upcoming Hall-Oates concert, it could jeopardize future concerts this year.
