Mclea By BOB CRAFT Staff Writer "We can't lose money on this concert. There's a chance that we can get Santana this spring and if we lose money on this concert, we can't do it. It will also hurt the other things we have planned for this semester," said Tom DiFiglio, chairman of the University Union Concert Committee. He was speaking about the up coming Don McLean concert that will be this Sunday in Township Auditorium. Admission for the concert is $2 for students.

The Health Services Committee, composed of Dean Elizabeth Clotworthy, Dr. McCants, three students and representatives from the Counseling Bureau, Psychiatric Services, the School of Nursing, and the faculty, has been "very instrumental in helping with the projected improvements," Dr. McCants said.
