USC Booking agencies and students will bargain for entertainers at the 1970 National Entertainment Conference (NEC) in Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 15-18. D)elegates from the 450 member schools will view four talent showcases with firms representing popular and classical artists, lectures, films and theatrical productions. l"(UNDED'l 9610 According to Russell House Director David Phillips, founder and director of NEC, this idea began accidentally at Duke University in 1960 when 13 colleges realized they could lower en tertainment prices by bargaining together with agencies. "Our conference educates the buyers as well as the sellers," Phillips said. "A few years ago entertainment was just for nightclubs because students and agents didn't know how to deal with each other." NEC also publishes a monthly newsletter which includes evaluations of artists turned in by schools. "Tlhis has a tendency to scare artists." Phillips said.

Beer for r By PAM CLARK and HARRY HO1PE Staff Writers A proposal to sell beer on campus, turned down by the Board of Trustees last year, will go back to the Board soon for recon sideration. According to Mike Spears, vice president of the student body, a group has been studying the issue for several months, after a referendum last year in which the supporters of the issue were vic torious. "The group presented the issue to the Board of Trustees as simplu saying, 'We would like permission to sell beer on campus,' " Spears commented. "At that time, the Board turned it down for three reasons;" he said, "there was not enough ex planation, they wanted examples of this issue present on other campuses and they didn't see the need for it, which was their primary reason." According to Spears, student government is now prepared to give an answer as to the need of a place to sell beer, and has data on other colleges where beer is sold. Spears went to Washington this summer to get this information. Eighty-nine universities now permit the sale of beer on cam pus," Spears said. "This number increased from 53 within the last three months. Officials from ten other universities are considering A'ling peti ti6nA'frtfe&:"rk which could make the increase even greater."
