UPC offer turned down
for UNL Ronstadt concert
By VV. Alan Graf
In December the University Program
Council offered Linda Ronstadt
$40,000 plus a percentage of gate re
ceipts to play at the Bob Devaney
Sports Center. Instead, the promoter
took the show to Omaha, according to
the UPC concert committee chairperson.
Stuart Kolnick said the show would
have been Sunday April 20. But once
the tour plans were set, Lincoln was not
included.
Ronstadt 's agency sold all the shows
to promoters rather than. selling some
of the shows directly to universities, he
said. Ronstadt has played and will play
at universities on her current tour.
However, Kolnick said, the university
shows are set up through local promot
ers. Tony Warner, program coordinator
of campus activities and programs, said
ticket revenues would have financed the
Ronstadt show. The advance money
would have come out of the student
equity account.
The student equity account, Warner
explained, is the interest earned on the
collective accounts of student organiza
tions' funds.
The interest from these accounts is
deposited into another account, and the
interest from that account is used to
support the Student Activities and Fi
nancial Services office, making the
office self-supporting, he said,
"The loss of the money would be
disastrous, so the money is used in low
or no risk situations," he said.
A Ronstadt concert, he said, would
undoubtedly generate enough ticket
sales for CAP to be almost totally sure
of regaining their advance money.
Contemporary Productions, of St.
Louis purchased the Ronstadt show for
this area and decided the show would
have better success in Omaha, according
to Jonathon Fixley of Contemporary
Productions.
Terry Forsberg, manager of the
Omaha Civic Auditorium, .explained
that market analysis shows that Lincoln
ites will go to Omaha, but Omahans
won't go to Lincoln except
to see UNL football games. .
Forsberg said that the April 23 Ron
stadt concert at the Omaha Civic Audi
torium cost about $75,000. However,
he added, he doesn't think money was
the reason Ronstadt didn't play in Lin
coln because the percentage on
ticket sales that she was offered by CAP
would make the income from the two
concerts nearly equal, he said.
Both Forsberg and Kolnick stated
that Ronstadt had cancelled an earlier
concert in Omaha and that they felt this,
was part of the reason for the concert
going to Omaha rather than Lincoln.
Forsberg added that having a con
cert in Lincoln and Omaha would not
have worked because each would draw
fans from the other making neither con
cert financially feasible.
Kolnick added that he is working
to bring big-name musicians to Lincoln
and that hopefully he will be able to
book some bands for the fall and spring
semesters. But as of now no bands have
been scheduled.

"A lot of performers in the U.S. per
form this 17th-century music like they
would in the 19th century," Troxell said.
He gave as an example of differing per
formance practice, "articulation." In baro
que keyboard performance one key is all
the way up before the next note is played.
In the 19th-century, the key may be half
way up before the next note is played.
Organ articulation
"Of course, it's a different thing with
organ valves. With an organ, if you want
an accent on a note, the note before has to
be shortened. This involves meter. Meter
really came to the fore with the Baroque
in a hierarchy of strong and weak beats.
You use the different articulation before
various beats to show the meter," he said.
Troxell is not sure where he will be sent
in Germany. The German government,
which pays 80 percent of his grant, will
probably send him to. one of its varied
state-owned schools. The award pays for
transportation, tuition, books, a baggage
allowance and a monthly stipend. Troxell's
wife, a German major, will do independent
study so she can be with him in Germany.
Troxell has found that there are some
problems with such awards though.
'There has to be a foreign student
office to administer the grant. They handle
registration and handle my language pro
ficiency test. I wanted to study at the
North German Organ Academy, but it's a
very small place out in the wilderness, and
because it doesn't have a foreign student
office, I can't go there," he said.
Troxell will be sent to one of the
experts in his field, though, and the
German government has a list of approved
places with such student offices from
which they will choose one which they
think to be suitable.
