As a student-led, student-run organization, Carolina Productions strives "to provide opportunities for leadership development [and to provide] programs [that] will be entertaining and educational for students," performing arts commissioner Lee Harper said. Some of the mainstream activities sponsored by CP are Java Jam, a biweekly coffeehouse series, the movie series in the Russell House Theater (movies are free this year), Breakfast With the President, Spirit Week for the Clemson game and concerts.

Fung said that such a performance s would be difficult to attain, consider- i ing CFs budget, but when the opportunity came to book the Wallflowers, t CP took a chance because "vou never e know what's going to happen, but you g try to use your best judgment." t In its quest to book the band, Car- I olina Productions outbid two other ma- p jor regional promoters, taking those promoters' interest in the Wallflowers t as a good omen. s However, Fung stressed, "Our goals c are different from (the promoters') t goals." While promoters focus mainly 1 on profit, Carolina Productions focus- e es on providing entertainment for the student body and the community.
