CONNECTICUT Thursday, February-15. 1)79 Budget hearing spurs complaints By MICHAELCALVERT HARTFORD — A parade of witnesses testifying before a public hearing of the State Legislature's Appropriations Committee Wednesday night all gave the legislators virtually the same message — Gov. Ella Grasso's proposed budget for higher education for the upcoming fiscal year is not enough. Persons addressing the Appropriations Committee included administrators, faculty, students, and Alumni from both the public and private sector of higher education in Connecticut. An audience of about HO crowded the small hearing room at the State Capitol. Bill Finch, a member of the State Board of Higher Education and a recent UConn graduate, told the Committee that there was "a great deal of concern among students about the gover- nor's level of commitment to higher education." and added the governor's cutting of UConn's overall budget by more than $500.000 seemed to confirm a "lack of commitment." Finch cited the cutting of 37 positions out of next years budget, along with the restriction on filling another 87 MEXICO CITY — President Carter is applauded by President Jose Lopez Portiilo of Mexico, positions, and said. "If this goes on. UConn won't have Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Lopez Portiilo after Carter's arrival speech which he made in Spanish. anybody working at it." Peter Barth. a professor of economics and former head of the economics department at UConn. told the committee that while enrollments have •"soared" in that department over Carter criticized in Mexico recent years, the size of the faculty has decreased leading to increased teaching loads and bigger classes.

  • A Documentary Reconstruction of Edmonton's Rock Cirkus
    Staging an International Rock Festival in Alberta: A Documentary Reconstruction of Edmonton’s Rock Cirkus by Brock Silversides Abstract This paper, delivered in a shortened form at the CAML Conference in Calgary in June 2016, details the lead up to and production of the Edmonton Rock Cirkus in August 1979. It was the largest outdoor rock festival held in the Alberta capital up to that time, and was successfully staged in Commonwealth Stadium with a combination of top name international and Canadian acts, such as Peter Frampton, Heart, Streetheart, and Trooper. Using a combination of archival documents (primarily from the Martin Melhuish Fonds, held by Media Commons at the University of Toronto), contemporary press accounts, and reminiscences by organizers and performers, the groundbreaking festival's background, organization, logistics, economics, and physical production are reconstructed and discussed.

Christened “The Summer Rock Cirkus,” it looms large in the memories of many Alberta music fans who came of age in that decade. The festival was organized, produced, and promoted by Lumado Enterprises Ltd. of Westmount, Quebec in conjunction with radio station K-97.
