Wednesday, June 18, 1975 THE MICHIGAN DAILY UAC concert program plagued by administrative restrictions Page Three By SUSAN ADES A few years ago, Ann Arbor was nationally - renowned as one of the finest sites for rock, blues, and jazz concerts. Today, quality musical offer- ings have dwindled as most ar- tists now perform in Detroit or Lansing if they tour the Mid- west. The types of musicians per- mitted to appear on campus has been limited by the Univer- sity Activities Center (UAC), which has been under pressure from the administration to re- strict performances. Since May 1973, the execu- tives of the University have banned certain kinds of music from the acoustically-fine Hill Auditorium in an effort to pro- tect the revered hall from damage allegedly inflicted by rock concert-goers. AS FAR AS many rock music enthusiasts are concerned, Hill is no longer alive with the sound of music.

BUT, SHEnalso claimsthat the troth often seems to be ex- aggerated. "If people were boogeeing in the aisles, the word went out to the executive officers that kids were rushing the stage." Last year, Linda Ronstadt, Jesse Colin Young and Jackson Brown graced the stage of Hill Auditorium because their mu- sic was deemed acceptable by University executives and ad- ministrators who schedule the events, judging by the band of followers the acts have attract- ed in the past.

The Germans, Scheel told a joint session of Congress, can- not give up the idea of reunifi- cation of their divided nation. "IF A rational and sincere policy of detente is to have any meaning for us it must surely be to make it easier for the people in a divided Germany to live together," Scheel said. 4 In Berlin detente is "put to the test day by day," Scheel j' said. Only alliance with the U.S. would have achieved settlement .... of the Berlin problem, he said.

"The awareness of our interdependence is indeed deep- er than ever." Scheel, head of the Free Dem- ocratic Party, was his country's foreign minister in 1969-1974 and, in this capacity, a loyal supporter of former Chancellor Willy Brandt's detente policy. But he warned Congress yes- terday that detente, "the catch- word of our times," does not eliminate the deep ideological differences between East_ and West. THE AUDIENCE of senators, representatives, Cabinet mem- bers and diplomats interrupted Scheel with applause five times during his 22-minute address. Scheel, elected president in May, 1974, was on a two-day visit in Washington. He will leave today for Chicago, is scheduled to be in New York tomorrow and is to fly home on Friday.
