Heath said that although the committee would like to bring more shows, it usually plans to have a smaller spring season than fall. “We’d love to do five or six shows,” Heath said. “But we’ve found in the past that if we do a large number of shows, they won’t sell. Peoplejust don’t have the money in the spring.” Deciding what shows to bring each season begins with a ran dom survey of about 2,000 Uni versity students, Heath said. Af ter the survey, the 1 10-member Town Hall committee is polled. After survey results are com pared with entertainment agen cy rosters of groups touring dur ing the season, the field is nar rowed to about 50 or 60 choices, he said. Town Hall committee mem bers then vote to narrow the field even more, Heath said. Members are encouraged to make choices on the basis of how well the group will sell and not how well they like the group, he said. After groups are chosen, New York and Los Angeles en tertainment agencies arrange the bookings. Heath said that booking groups and artists to appear at Texas A&M is not always an easy task. “Our biggest problem is find ing someone we want at the right date,” Heath said. Conflicts may arise because Town Hall must schedule concerts around other University events. A lot of the big, well-known bands are not willing or are not able to play in G. Rollie White Coliseum, Heath said. G. Rollie White cannot accommodate bands that must hang a large portion of their sound or lighting equipment, he said. Because air conditioning was installed in the coliseum af ter it was built, the units had to he hung from the ceiling. The amount of weight the ceiling can hold now, in addition to the air conditioning units, is small, he said. Fall dorm space priorities revealed by Ronnie Crocker Battalion Reporter More than 4,GOO notices of student housing priority posi tions at Texas A&M for fresh men were mailed Feb. 4, the di rector of student af fairs said. Numbers assigned on the notices of students will deter mine who gets a dorm room in the fall. All incoming freshmen ex cept prospective members of the Corps of Cadets who applied be tween Nov. 1 and Dec. 15 for on-campus housing for fall 1983 were placed in a computerized lottery, Ron Blatchley, director of student af fairs, said. The pur pose of the lottery is to allow an equal chance, he added. Transfer students also are in cluded in the lottery hut return ing students’ room assignments are decided according to the date of application for a room. Students could have applied as early as Nov. 1 for the fall semester, Batchley said. Those who applied after Dec. 15 will be selected on a first-come-first- serve basis once rooms are assigned to those on the lottery list. Blatchley said in April his office will project how many rooms will he open in the fall. They will assign available rooms by the following proportions: 80 percent to new freshmen, 10 percent to transfer students and TO percent to returning stu dents. iOl This Week Specials: Pabst Blue Ribbon $*729 ■ case 24-pack Lone Star *7*1 Longnecks Case Plus deposit Gti&J *2 75 , CREAM ALE“^ JJ 8 pack Open Monday-Saturday 'til Midnight!
