lighting subcommittee of forum xiv said i think the service will be very helpful we anticipate some rough spots whitcomb said but this is the best we can do right now this is purely experimental we need to see what the needs are and what the usage will be whitcomb said she added that if problems arise we will have to pull back and try something new we may even have to stop it temporarily so we can re-evaluate if we run into difficulties details for the operation were formu lated at the forum xiv security and lighting subcommittee meeting on wed nesday the service will be free of charge for

tration's commitment to the arts adding that we're specifically looking for proposals in the arts and humanities strengthening a university's activities in the arts and humanities is a difficult goal to achieve at lehigh or anywhere during the 80s likins said he noted the current economic climate is one which encourages technological and business advancement therefore it is easier to acquire the funds for projects in these areas he said likins added that money for univer sity projects is raised from the out side regardless of how committed the faculty and administration is to streng thening the arts and humanities there is always the question of funding he said the external factors i can't control john hunt dean of the college of arts and science also noted the difficulty in obtaining funds for projects in the arts lehigh university brown and white 215 861-4184 bethlehem pa friday october 7 1983 stabler deficit up from last year vol 95 — no 10 are the real money-makers for the arena fritz said he thought that if we only waited for these to come i don't know if we would be performing our pur pose yes we do need to attract them to make a profit but we are not only here to do that we cannot turn our backs on the need for community-type events " fritz also pointed out that although the stabler account itself shows a deficit it is difficult to say that the university lost money on the facility overall other accounts have been inflated because of the use of stabler such as residence halls and the food services i believe money is being drawn to other areas of the university that would completely offset the deficit balance fritz said he did not know if there see stabler page 4 b&w photo by brett lowy university prof peter beidler was honored as 1983 professor of the year today by the council for the advancement and support of educa tion at an awards luncheon in washing ton d.c trouble getting these type of promoters interested in using our facility but we want to continue and try to draw in some to round out our program richard fritz director of events at the arena said that stabler is trying to be a lot of things to a lot of people the prob lem is that what people say they want and what they will pay money to pur chase a ticket for are two different things the family entertainment series last year which included the obernkirchen children's choir the scandia festival which was canceled due to lack of enthusiasm and the jack daniels silver cornet band was an attempt to balance stabler's program of events fritz said although rock and roll bands and popular contemporary singers despite one of the best revenue producing years since its opening stabler arena and convocation center suffered a 126,000 deficit for 1982-83 an approximate increase of 33,000 over last year's loss richard metz director of auxiliary services said that the loss is 26,000 over the loss budgeted for the year but that he is not displeased with the figure which was a result of experimentation into family entertainment last year the 26,000 all occurred in that one area he said we are trying to be more careful about getting this type of entertainment but feel an obligation to the community and our institution to provide arts-type performances like these we have had by teresa kilcullen escort service instituted on experimental basis to compare and analyze other escort ser vices in practice in an interview in the oct 4 issue of the brown and white whitcomb said that while the service was still a possibility it was not in the immediate plans this however changed during wednesday's meeting chris christian manager of trans portation services became interested in the idea whitcomb said and together they found something we think will be viable on an experimental basis this issue has been hanging around for quite awhile whitcomb said there was a lot of talk especially last year in the spring the forum xiii asked that we do something about this
