Noreen, Policy Not Compatible A discotheque dancer named Noreen performed for a short time during the “Friday at Four” variety show last week. Her dancing was stopped by the Student Union Talent Com mittee after about two numbers. The committee’s action at that time was quite unpopular with the large, mostly male, audience. Talent Committee members in formed the Emerald Monday that their action in stopping the danc er’s “show” was not for “dis criminatory reasons.” Three reasons were given by the committee for its decision. • “First, it has been the pol icy of the committee that Friday at Four programs be composed of performers invited by the com mittee to participate. The dancer had not been scheduled by us. • “Second, it is also our policy that if we schedule non-college talent that might be considered to be a ‘feature attraction,’ and thus be inclined to draw a larger crowd, then we shall make ar rangements for a larger room for the show, such as the Ballroom. “Since we had not been made aware of Noreen’s coming per formance, we were unable to make adequate preparations. Cer tainly, those who attended last Friday realize the over-crowded Fishbowl preblem presented by the go-go girl drawing card. • “Also, as we were caught off-guard by Miss Noreen’s ap pearance, we had not had an opportunity to check into any regulations that might relate to such a performance, whether Volkswagen Specialists • Low Repair Charges • Workmanship Guaranteed • Factory Trained in Germany • Fully Equipped to Handle All German Makes GERMAN AUTO SERVICE 2045 FRANKLIN BLVD. 342-2912 these be Eugene, university, or Student Union rulings. In order to protect all concerned, it seem ed best to do what was done." Committee members said that it was likely that no problems would have arisen if the dancer had continued. "However, at the time, and under the existing circumstances, the talent committee could not be certain that such would be the case,” they said.
