Zappa was chosen from among seven other popular groups. About 400 students were surveyed in an attempt to find a group Trinity students would pay to hear. Zappa has not yet signed a contract to appear at the College, according to MHBOG Chairman Andrew McCune '72. His fee and all other concert costs will be paid by Music Productions, Inc., a promotional agency, McCune said. The Board of Governors will receive a percentage of the profits from the concert if there are any and will not have to risk any money for it, according to Ellen Mulqueen, assistant director of Mather Hall and ad- viser to the Board. The rest of the profits will go to the promotional agency, she said Music '.
