Tom McCall's Re-election By Keep Tom McCall Committee Oregon GovernorTom McCall issued this eight-page press release in early September, 1970, during his successful re-election campaign. This is the first page of that statement. In it, McCall defended his decision to use state money and employees to organize a three-day rock music festival at McIver State Park, in Clackamas County, called Vortex I. McCall and his staff used the festival to avert a potentially violent confrontation between anti-Vietnam War protestors, police, and members of the national American Legion, a veterans’ organization. The American Legion had scheduled their national convention in Portland and invited President Richard Nixon to be the keynote speaker. In the press release, McCall, a former journalist, also listed numerous civil riots and violent events that occurred between 1965 and 1970 in American cities, causing deaths and property damage. As a comparison, he pointed out that the protest during the American Legion convention drew few people, was mostly peaceful, and resulted in only one broken window. Portland business owners also contributed money for Vortex I, which attracted more than 35,000 people — including many youth who were allowed to flout laws by using drugs and going naked. The idea for Vortex I was first proposed by “The Family,” a Portland-based hippie organization that helped run the festival. While historians have determined that the threat of a riot in Portland was overestimated, McCall had reason to worry. A Portland State University protest group, called the People’s Army Jamboree, planned to demonstrate against the American Legion and President Nixon, who canceled his appearance at the last minute and sent Vice President Spiro Agnew instead. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warned McCall that as many as 50,000 protestors were planning a riot in Portland. In the end, as few as one thousand protestors marched peacefully in Portland streets during the weekend of the convention and festival. Further Reading: Walth, Brent.

Organization of a Large Scale Music Event: Planning and Production
Organization of a large scale music event: planning and production Tatiana Caciur Thesis MUBBA 2012 Abstract 17.1.2012 MUBBA Author or authors Group or year of Tatiana Caciur entry 2008 Title of report Number of Organization of a large scale music event: planning and pages and production. appendices 54 + 4 Teacher/s or supervisor/s Heta-Liisa Malkavaara Live entertainment is currently one of the few vital components of the music industry as it struggles to survive in the XXI century and conform to the drastic changes on the music market. Music events occur in great amount on a daily basis and it is important to plan and produce them in the right manner in order to stay relevant and secure one‟s place on the market. This report introduces various crucial matters that require attention during event organization process, such as marketing and strategic planning, communication and promotion, risk management, event programming and capacity management, to name a few. The 5-phase project management model is applied as the base on which this thesis is built. The research is conducted by comparing the theoretical and practical approach used in the music event business. The practical approach is based on examinations and interviews with the world market leader in live entertainment – Live Nation. An additional analysis of practices used in other large and successful music events in Europe and USA is also conducted. As this thesis shows, the practical approach is often easier and less rigorous than the theory. Some of the steps in this process may be simply omitted due to being considered of little relevance by the management team, many other are outsourced to professional agencies depending on requirements (security, catering).

Egyrészt: hogy mint médium, mely a legszélesebb köröket vonhatja be a nyilvánosságba, milyen szerepet játszott a nemzeti nyelvünk, kultúránk és tudományunk ápolásában és fejlesztésében. Másrészt: ez a nyilvánosság bevonásával zajló diskurzus a jelzett témákban milyen szerepet játszhatott az újfajta, nem kiváltságokra alapozott közös- ség, a nemzet, illetve a nemzeti identitás megteremtésében, illetve a lap indításában szerepet vállaló, és szellemi hátteret adó Széchenyi István gróf civilizátori tevé- kenységében. Kutatásom alapját a hírlapi cikkek tartalmi és statisztikai elemzése adja, amely során a megadott témákat összevetem és szélesebb kontextusba emelve elhelyezem a korra már kialakult közbeszéd témahálójában, amelynek kialakult értékpreferen- ciáiban a közös nevezőnek a kezdetekben a magyar nyelv, kultúra és tudomány ügye mutatkozott.

Although BTC has been dealing in Counter Cultural material pretty much since we’ve existed as an entity, we’ve never issued a catalog strictly devoted to the subject. When we started in the mid 1980s, some of the “Cultures” whose artifacts we’re now dealing in didn’t even exist. This goes to show, I guess, that the definition of Counter Culture is constantly evolving. I asked Ken Giese on our staff to define Counter Culture in ten seconds. Go! - “Arggghhh, hippies, it was the hippies, it was always the hippies for me!” Similarly incoherent responses were received from others on our staff, although Ashley Wildes well-considered “What?” stands out. Matt Histand probably did best when he said it was “Anything that youth was rebelling against that has since become part of the culture.” Obviously much of one’s perspective on this is or can be generational. And indeed the friction created by the interaction of the generations might actually be the proper definition.
