Acording to committee chair-man Pat Callahan, 708 tickets weresold, in the estimation of the band'smanager. The slight deficit wascovered by the Speiai Projects Com-mittee budget. "We'd like to thankeveryone who helped. The operationwas great," commented Callahan.MSG President David Armstrong re-quested that $200 be taken from theSpecial Projects budget and given tothe band Friction for loses which wereincurred at Saturday night's concert.This request was approved by the MSGrepresentatives.All hotel accomodations for Floridaare filled but there is still room on thebus for studen ts who have made other

housing arrangements. The cost forthe bus ride will be $129. .A vote was taken to determine ifMSG representatives felt that chang-ing grades from numerical values toletters would be beneficial to the col-lege.
