Today, five weeks and three days until the first possible spring concert date, concert coordinator Edie Stump, and her UB counterparts are adver­ tising a concert, but as of yet have nothing to offer students. Country singer Trisha Yearwood seemed to be a contender last week. UB surveyed students to see if they were interested in bringing Yearwood to campus. After a majority of 'yes' votes were received for Yearwood, UB announced Yearwood was too busy touring with Garth Brooks to appear at Eastern. Then, without the assistance of a student sur­ vey, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones were dubbed "not big anymore" by Stump and therefore unsuitable for Eastern audiences. It seems that after scurrying to find a 1997 spring conce1i, UB presented Eastern with The Bodeans. They weren't "big anymore" a year ago. Caution is needed when choosing the spring concert act.
