Students to vote on fee increase for Cornstock
By Leslie Boellstorff
Students voting in today's ASUN election will have the
opportunity to show their approval or disapproval of an
increase in student fees that would be used to provide a
national talent for Cornstock, an outdoor concert each
spring on East Campus sponsored by University Program
Council-East.
The survey question on the ballot asks for student
opinion about a one dollar increase in Fund A fees for
UTC, UPC-East President Mike Hofcldt said. The fee in
crease would be designated specifically for Cornstock, he
said.
Currently there is about $5,200 in the Cornstock fund,
said Mark Goes, a student initiating the survey question.
Of that money, about $2,000 goes for renting sound
system, stages and other equipment for the concert, said
Tom Iloloubek, another initiator of the survey
question. This leaves about $3,200 for hiring bands, he
said.
A nationally-known band requires a down payment,
Iloloubek said, and usually it gets a percentage of the gate
receipts too. Because Cornstock is a free concert, parti
cipating bands arc offered an amount roughly equivalent
to what they would receive from gate receipts, he said.
A yearly dollar increase in students fees, 50 cents per
student per semester would increase the Cornstock fund
to about $25,000, approximately the amount needed to

put on a concert with a nationally-known talent, Hofcldt
said.
Money bands
"You have to have the funds to get the bands,"
Iloloubek said. UPC can't begin to search for big name
bands if it doesn't have the money, he said.
Students currently pay $1 .97 in Fund A fees for UPC,
said Jim Frohman, Committee for Fees Allocation chair
man. Goes said a 50-ccnt fee increase was not too much.
Many students would be willing to donate $5 to provide
a national talent for the concert, he said. Cornstock
organizers originally discussed a $2 increase, but were
afraid the CFA wouldn't accept that recommendation be
cause it was too high, Goes said.
Hofcldt said if the Fund A amount was increase too
much, it would become too tempting for students to get a
refund, and UPC could end up with a loss of funds.
Hofcldt said it would be impossible to charge admis
sion to the outdoor concert, because it would be too easy
for people to sec and hear the concert without paying.
Admission would change the nature of the outdoor
concert, Iloloubek and Goes said. People can come and go
as they please the way the concert is currently organized,
they said.
Digger crowds
In the past, Cornstock has had such bands as Head
East, Timbcrlinc, Peter, Paul and Mary, and the First
Edition, the Ozark Mountain Daredevils and Pure Prairie
League, Goes and Iloloubek said.
Hofcldt said that with the more famous bands, crowds
at the concert would be bigger. This could be a disadvant
age however.
"The larger the crowd, the harder it is to control,"
Hofcldt said.
Usually about 3,000 people attend Cornstock. UPC
hires 12 crowd control officers and employs Cornstock
marshals, students who provide help and information to
concertgoers. Crowd control would probably have to be
increased if nationally-known bands were brought to
Cornstock, Hofcldt said.
Approval of the question on Wednesday's ballot would
not obligate CFA to increase student funds, Hofeldt said.
The question is intended to gauge student opinion about
the matter. Hofeldt said the results, if favorable to the in
crease, would probably be used as evidence when the com
mittee brings its budget request before the CFA next
spring. Any changes would not come about until the 1984
Cornstock, he said.
This year's Cornstock will be April 23. It will feature
three bands, Mischief, Chameleon and Footloose.
Fast Campus Law Li
brary will be independent of
the Love Library system
and completely under the
fiscal control of the College
of Law July 1, said Gerald
Rudolph, dean of the libra
ries. July 1 will end a six
year "semi-autonomous"
state the Law Library has
been in while making this
transition. Rudolph said a
1976 accreditation visit in
dicated that the "College of
Law Library should be clos
er to tin College of Law."
lie said the American Bar
Association also favors the
change, as it has done for
many other colleges.
"Full automony for the
College of Law has occurred
on campuses for years," Ru
dolph said. "This is the best
route to go."
Rudolph said the Law Li
brary will be "analogous
with the medical libraries
and many business libraries
at large universities."
The library gradually has
been converted to being
controlled by the College of
Law. John Nelson, director
of the College of Law Li
brary, said its staff members
have been planning proce
dures and working on the
technical processes of select
ing and ordering materials,
paying salaries and catalog
ing. Rudolph said Law Libra-
r's move is advantageous be
cause the College of Law re
ceives more money than the
rest of the library system.
The East Campus Law
Library staff will now do
the cataloging, purchasing,
staff maintenance, and pro
moting for the library, said
Interim Dean of the College
of Law, Donald Shaneyfelt.
He said the change is for
the better, but may not be
easv.
