McKnight Offers to be Arbitrator in Dance Dispute
Fraternities Do Not Intend to Boycott Hill Bands, Varsity Manager Declares
NEED CLOSED NIGHTS
An offer to act as arbitrator in the controversy between Hill bands and fraternity presidents over the prices being charged by the bands was made this morning by Phil McKenna, c32 dance manager. The dispute came into evenings decided to hire out of town bands as far as possible.
The fraternities' demand for lower music prices this fall resulted in a meeting of the local musicians' union early last month. Two of the band leaders were in favor of a reduction of the present scale of wages, but action was blocked by the third orchestra. The law required that the present scale of wages set by the Lawrence union is $3 an hour for members, and $4 an hour for leaders.
Action Misinterpreted
In commenting on the situation this morning McKnight said, "I believe the action last Thursday of the fraternity presidents was misinterpreted.
*Fraternities had no idea of putting a boycott on Hill bands, since such action would result in this district being put on the "black list" by the union, and only non-union bands could then be hired.*
In reply to a question as to the reason for the present closed night system for varity dances, the variity manager explained, "The varity dances are conducted under the regulation down by the two student councils.
Business Basis Necessary "Varsity dances are given primarily for the benefit of University students non-fragrant. To act as best of talent for these entertainments it is necessary to operate on a sound business basis.
"Hence it was voted by the two student councils last spring to put the closed night system back in effect this year because reports show that 9 of the 18 variances last year failed to pay expenses. It is impossible to bring in new students without increasing prices in the face of such conditions as existed last year."
Hill Bands Will Be Used
"But will you use Hill bands in the future?" McKnight was asked.
It was the opinion of the varsity manager that the closed night system would not effect fraternity and sorority parties. The number of private parties is exp.ed to be fewer this year and the varsity chancellor has been arranged so as to leave open four or five dates in each month.
As to a solution of the present situation in which band men are battling to cearn enough to stay in school and organized houses are fighting to protect their budgets, McKnight suggested, "First, the fraternity president might present the HIll bands a contract for the year's private parties.
Hill Bands will be used.
"Of course Hill Bands are very happy for Hill Bands, and they have in the past, and they will be paid scale wages with no questions asked. But if band like Earl Hines, Joe Haymes, Dott Massey, and Freddie Berg are on tour through this section and on tour through this season, you can ourselves the opportunity of dancing to their music?"
"if band leaders are wise they'll accept such an offer at reduced prices. Then there is the other plum which both band men and students have been reaching for for some time—ten dances."
Invited to express his opinion on the tea dance question the variety manager replied, "Personally, I'm in favor of them. Officially, I'm opposed to them, unless I can be certain that they will interfere with the variety dances.
"My job is to give all-University parties of as high entertainment value is possible for a low admission price as possible. Tea dances will benefit only
a part of the student body and var- sities are all-school parties."
There are to be several conferences in the next few days at which McKnight expects some definite action.
