There was once a very confused
situation concerning a coliseum.
The students who owned the
coliseum were being charged
outrageous prices to attend func
tions held in their own hall.
Outside promoters came into
town with traveling troups of
musicians and left town with bags
full of money many people thought
reightfully belonged to he students.
After a time, some of the
students got wise and began to
resent being ripped off.
Outside promoters are very
smart men, and soon they came up
with a plan to counteract the
student resentment. They would
find someone in the university to
say that they were putting on the
show and the students would be
satisfied.
The only hitch was that these
outside promoters needed someone
to front for them and finding such
an organization is somewhat like
taking applications for the part of
.Judas.
Anything is possible though, and
eventually a very smart man
named Ralph Bridges who works
out of Atlanta enlisted a Judas,
payed him about $600 (or'
was it 30 pieces of silver?) and
went to work.

Who is the Judas? IFC or for
those who aren't good at initials,
the Inter Fraternity -Council of
USC. These upstanding young
leaders of the cream of Carolina's
fraternal organizations volun
teered to let Bridges use their good
'?) name in return for a small fee.
IFC would claim the production
and do the leg work so that USC
students felt better about paying
*.0) a ticket to see Blood, Sweat
and Tears.
The same _procedure was used
for the recent James Taylor
concert also. Oh. I forgot to tell you
of the fantastic discount IFC
managed to secure for Carolina
students: 51) cents.
In this time of confusion over
the use and priorities of Carolina
Coliseum. one thing that is not
needed is an organization within
USC working in alliance with
outside promoters.
And for what'? You might ask
yourself. Well, as far as I could
determine, the IFC gets $600 for
selling out the student body of USC.
Sure, the IFC will claim that
they only did it to secure top name
entertainment for Carolina, but it's
a shallow argument.

Why is the concert billed as
being presented by the IFC when
the.v had as much to do with
securing Hlood. Sweat and Tears
as Tom Jones?
I'FCs only function is to
camouflage this rip off. Bridges,
the real promoter. figures that by
billing the overpriced show in the
name of a USC organization,
students will be placated.
What will be done about the
Coliseum is being studied. The only
hitch is that between the time of an
eventual solution and the present,
people are still being ripped off.
Once again, a hearty thanks to
the IPC for keeping the student
body in mind. If a man sells his
soul for the whole world he has
gained nothin, but for $600?
