Last spring the board drew up two lists of groups and
entertainers who they thought the students would like
to see on campus.
The first priority list included: Emerson, Lake and
Palmer, the Moody Blues, Santana, America, Joni
Mitchell, Judy -Collins, Carly Simon,' Carole King, Cat
Stevens, the Grateful Dead, and Neil Young. The second
priority list consisted of Rod Stewart and the Faces, It's
a Beautiful Day, Don McLean, the Staple Singers, Sonny
and Cher, Crosby and Nash, and Yes.
A group is on the first or second priority list, says
Miss Dillard, because in the opinion of the committee,
the first list artists would appeal to a large cross-section
of students than those on the second priority list.
Booking the groups ;
Each year the Union Activities Board draws up a
similar list. The list goes to Howard Henry, Director of
the Carolina Union, who gets on the phone to the agents
in New York. Henry has specific dates and approximate
price figures in mind. Naturally, available dates are
important, since the Union wants to schedule big
concerts on football weekends and other special times
such as Homecoming. f
At this point, Henry will go to New York if necessary
to sign the groups; yet what usually happens is that the
Union waits for confirmation from the artists before
doing anything else. Naturally, some groups have
previous engagements, some are not touring in the area,
and some don't even answer.
If, as sometimes is the case, Henry comes across a
group that may not be on the list but is free to play
here, he must get back to Dillard and the Union
committee chairmen, who must then meet to consider
whether or not to present the group. That may take
anything up to a week, by which time it could well be
too late.
What Mr. Henry is trying to do is get the best possible
talent at the lowest cost. He is playing good business as
are all the other schools. ECU, ASU, NCSU and Duke
have all expressed problems in signing artists, calling
attention to a tight market where costs are constantly
increasing.
Henry has had problems of his own with the spiralling
prices that groups are asking. "We tried tq get Elton

John before he was famous in this country, in fact just
x- as he was beginning here. I thought we could get a good
deal, but even then he wanted S 1 0,000." '
Carolina has been quite fortunate with some big
groups in the past. Of the Jethro Tull concert, Mr. Henry
said "We got a very attractive contract from Tull. The
Chapel Hill concert was their lowest gross on that tour,
and if you doubled what we gave them it would not
exceed their next highest gross of the whole American
tour. Tull's agent was fired two weeks after the concert
here, although we don't know if that had anything to do
with it."
Henry also talked about the competition in this-area,
especially from the professional coliseums in
Greensboro, Charlotte and Raleigh, which seat 17,000,
16,000 and 13,000 respectively. They can offer an artist
more money and more people (an important factor if
the artist is pushing an album) at one performance than
almost any college. Such artists as Leon Russell, to name
but one, play the coliseums far more often than the
college gymnasiums.
The question of money
According to Henry, Carmichael ticket prices are
based on an average audience of 5,000, with a sell-out
figure of 7,000. Since the Union's policy is not to charge
over S4 per ticket at the absolute maximum, 520,000 is
the average take with a maximum of $28,000.
Considering that the overhead (publicity, unsold tickets,
printing of tickets, Pinkerton guards) works out to at
least $3,000, the most UNC can pay any performer is
about $25,000, and that has to be for a sell-out concert.
Each year the Union receives about $100,000 out of
student fees, which is the allocation provided by the
Student Legislature. Since this has to cover all of the
Union's diverse activities, it would obviously be desirable
for the Carmichael Concerts to pay for themselves.
Unfortunately, this ideal state of affairs is seldom a
reality, and the Carmichael Concerts regularly lose
money. The figures for last year's Carmichael Concerts
in isolation are not available, but for the overall Union
concert schedule, including those in Memorial Hall,
ticket sales brought in $99,700. Expenditures for those
concerts was $155,223.
For all Union-sponsored activities, and that includes
the concerts, the Forum, speakers, exhibitions, etc.,
income was Si 20377. Total expenditure was $2 1 2350.
It is evident that the Union's activities are being
operated at a loss.
The balance, according to Henry, comes out of the
Union's original SI 00.000 allocation and is
supplemented by profits from the pool-room and the
bowling alley.
Another problem that Henry and Dillard have to face
is that UNC has no facilities in which to hold concerts
between the size of Carmichael and Memorial Hall.
Memorial Hall seats only 1 ,600, so that the house limit
for a sell-out concert would be a meagre $6,400 less
overhead.
Such artists as Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Don
McLean and Carly Simon will not play before more than
three or four thousand people, so if they are to play here
they must play in Memorial. The cost of tickets for such
a concert would have to be at least $5 or S6, and only
one student in every 12 or 13 would get to go.
A further problem, the awful acoustics of Carmichael,
could be improved by the addition of baffles to the
arena's roof, but there is no money available to
undertake such construction. The original contract with
the company that built Carmichael had an acoustical
option, but it was dropped by the Athletic Department
to save money. In any case, Carmichael is owned by the
Athletic Department. -
At one point, Dillard mentioned the concerts UNC
could have had but for conflicting dates and other
organizational problems. Emerson, Lake and Palmer
postponed their entire tour, or they could have been
here for Homecoming.
Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, Chase, Billy Preston,
Don McLean and the Beach Boys were all strong
possibilities but failed to appear for one reason or
another.
When asked why the Beach Boys would not be
coming here, Dillard answered, "We thought the campus
would throw them back in our faces."
On the bright side, Herbie Mann is definitely booked
into Memorial Hall for the spring, and negotiations are
continuing favorably with Stephen Stills and Frank
Zappa.
But, looking at the overall picture, Dillard and the
Union Activities Board still seem intent on
"de-emphasization."
