contract problems cause cancellation of concert by laurence warshaw the quicksilver concert scheduled for the friday of lafayette weekend has been canceled student activities council sac president keith snyder said that final contract negotiations could not be com pleted sac had tentatively agreed with its agent the associated booking cor poration to a contract oct 19 which it thought to be final snyder said quicksilver made changes in the contract regarding the sound system to be used they would not agree to the use of the university's sound system comparable to that of the philadelphia spectrum even though it was promised that professional factory representatives would be present at the concert snyder said they thought they had us over a barrel snyder said it was my opinion that they were very well aware of the fact that lehigh needs a big concert and as the time of the concert date gets closer they could make numerous changes which they expected we would be forced to agree with he said the group wanted a specific organ and speaker and to deal with their choice for a sound system which would have cost an extra 700 snyder said the big hang-up was the publicity clause snyder said the clause was an agreement that limited publicity for the - concert to posters on campus until a for mal agreement had been made this meant that tickets could not be sold adn that commercials on various area radio stations scheduled to begin friday nov 2 could not be aired until an agreement was reached we would have only two weeks to publicize the concert snyder said he said this would endanger the success of two candidates state positions on law and u by mark linder if there's heroin on campus i'm going to want to know about it said bethlehem democratic mayoral candidate gordon mowrer if there's heroin or acid it's going to spread throughout the community and we'll have to do something about it mowrer was commenting on bethlehem police activities on campus and specifically the recent drug raid in m-m let's not kid ourselves does any organization have the right to protect it self if a building on your campus caught fire you would expect one of our fire trucks to come and put it out you have the same responsibility to the community mowrer said in response to the campus drinking issue mowrer said the only thing that upsets me is drunken driving on campus you can't get into too much trouble but off campus is a different story what i would really like to do said mowrer is to get together with the students sit down with the forum and get a few reactions find out what my role is and what it should be i like interchange i wouldn't want to change anything you operate as a city within a city said republican charles chaffee mowrer's opponent in the upcoming bethlehem election it's up to you to control your own en vironment he said if you work those problems out i'd keep my hands off concerning drinking chaffee said see candidates page s see
