OPEN Monday through Friday 10:45 AM-1:45 PM QUALITY FIRST No concerts in Kyle yet By SUE McNEILL Battalion Reporter Despite the fact that Kyle Field has a new sound system and now seats about 72,000, there is little pos sibility of having any concerts there in the near future. James Randolph, assistant direc tor of the Memorial Student Center, said concert performances in Kyle Field have been discussed, but “there is a list of problems as long as the day is long.” First, Randolph said, the new sound system is strictly for announcements. When the Singing Cadets performed at the Penn State game, a separate sound system was used. Randolph said it would be diffi cult and expensive to set up a larger sound system for a band. Along with wiring a sound system, most bands have a complex system of lighting that would also require spe cial wiring, Randolph said. Besides the cost of sound and light wiring, there are added expenses of an Astroturf cover to protect it and of hiring security guards. The MSC Town Hall Committee, which would be responsible for coor dinating a concert, has only 111 peo ple to cover security. Randolph said the committee would have to hire about 400 more workers to ensure adequate security. “It’s an awfully big headache that we’re not prepared to deal with right now,” Randolph said. In addition, he said, before Town Hall could even start thinking about having a con cert, “we’d have to invest $40,000 to $50,000.” Randolph also said that although ticket sales would bring in a lot of money, they would not amount to any profit until three or four concerts were held because of the costs in volved. Besides the cost, putting on a con cert would tie up Kyle Field for three days: one day to set up, one for the concert and one to break down the equipment. Randolph said the Athletic Department would not want the field occupied for three days. Randolph said that although con certs in Kyle Field seem to be impos sible right now, the Board of Regents has discussed building a special events center where larger concerts could be held. Randolph said the center is part of Texas A&M’s five- year master plan, which calls for pre- liminary planning by 1984. United Way at 27 percent The Brazos County United Way fund drive — with three weeks to go — has reached 27 percent of its goal for this year. Total contributions are $66,025, division chairmen said at a meeting this week. The 1980 goal is $242,395. The campaign, which will end Oct. 31, is in its fifth week.

And in a final word, Birakos said the smog siege would pro continue for a few more days. Throughout the siege of bad air, the criss-crossing freeways been packed with automobiles, most carrying just one personi conditioned comfort. “How else am I suppose to get to work?” asked a young inn suppose executive waiting in his silver Porsche for his chance to geto bumper-to-bumper Santa Monica Freeway. “Even if I wanted to take a bus, I couldn’t.

Scores of people have invaded hospitals for help. “We’ve had a very heavy increase in all breathing-related p lems,” said a spokesman for the Kaiser Permanente Medicallj program, which operates seven walk-in clinics.
