stabler arena has been asked to cancel two tentative may concerts because of a ruling prohibiting major events and activities during the reading consulta tion and study rcs and final exam periods rather than embarrass anyone and compromise the university it was decided to cancel the concerts said richard metz director of auxiliary ser vices we decided that it was better to back off from this university policy the decision was reached at a meeting wednesday with dean of students wil liam quay metz and representatives from the student activities council sac the forum and the education policy edpol committee attending fritz did not attend the meeting because of a conflict according to metz there was no attempt to circumvent university policy an honest error was made in booking metz said both fritz and myself were oblivious to that particular policy i didn't have it in writing that this policy existed the grateful dead was tentatively scheduled to perform on may 5 and zz top on may 14 no formal contract had been signed with either group i would not have taken the holding dates if i had previously known about the ruling fritz said metz explained that the purpose of the meeting was to discuss the problems if the concerts were performed and the prospects of renting the arena without sac sponsorship we decided that it was not a good idea to do it without the sac because univer sity students would not get the normal advantuges such as first-hand knowl edge of the concerts early ticket sales and better seating according to sac president pete fio retti 82 the sac is against any concerts during this period he called the situa tion a continuous problem that has been going on all year with the arena fritz feels no obligation to the uni versity and wants to operate as a separ ate entity he said if we would have known beforehand we would have tried to move the date back but we caught it too late i concur with the ruling fritz explained i think that it was a good idea 10 years ago but with this new addi mini-computer stolen from whitaker by john burke a portable mini-computer and several other items valued at 3,500 were stolen from whitaker laboratory on saturday feb 21 the burglar took the computer the entire package of disks in which pro grams are stored the operating manual several programs written by graduate students and five calculators according to eugene dax chief of campus police the items were in a fourth-floor labor atory used mostly by graduate students dax said there were no signs of forced entry into the room and there were no witnesses to the crime the thief is prob ably someone who has general knowl edge of what the computer is used for dax said an ordinary thief wouldn't know he added the computer was used for processing data for graduate research work and for laboratory work for junior and senior labs according to alan pense chairman of the department of metallurgy and materials engineering the computer package that was stolen also included computer games like asteroids and star wars pense said pense said he very much wants to get the programs back but no reward will be offered we don't want to make theft profitable and offering the reward would be a dangerous precedent he said the thief would not need to know too much pense said the set of manuals explains how to use the computer and the language used is basic it appears as though the person knew what they rock stabler arena was rocking and rolling last night as cheap trick performed with ufo unfortunately for the engineer basketball team its fans had to rock grace hall after a scheduling conflict denied the hoopsters their homecourt advantage cheap trick forces cogers out of stabler into grace by nicholas kim due to what he calls a lack of communication between stabler arena and the athletic department the sight of hist night's engineer east coast conference ecci basketball playoff game was pushed from the stabler arena to grace hall in order to accommodate the cheap trick concert according to richard fritz director of events at the arena this lack of communication revolves around the submission of team schedules to fritz's office so he is aware of home dates and can work events at stabler around them in this ease a november 11 1980 memorandum from the athletic department specified to reserve all engineer home games including march 2-7 ecc playoffs by the time he received this note fritz had already begun negotiations with representatives of cheap trick for a concert march 2 normally fritz said he would have sent out a hold notice to the athletic department to inform them of this possible event however it was not until jan 5 when fritz received a contract notice that the concert had been booked that the athletic department received any formal knowledge of the event i accept all responsibility and blame fritz said i just didn't contact the athletic department to clarify the playoff dates and to get their ok it was my mistake ." director of athletics william leckonby said stabler people had printed and sold tickets before anyone knew about it we were hoping to receive a bye in the first round so we could avoid this conflict he added fritz maintains that no complaints were heard from leckonby or basketball coach brian hill they said nothing see computerless page 13 see no page 13 see
