‘Butterfly’ backs out of concert
Rock group “The Iron Butterfly,”
scheduled for a concert at the Eugene
Speedway at 8 p.m. Wednesday night,
cancelled out an hour beforehand.
Reasons for the group’s cancellation
were:
• They didn’t like the facilities at the
speedway.
• They didn’t want to take the chance
of having their equipment ruined in case of
bad weather.
Lane Community College’s student
body was sponsoring the concert.
LCC student president Warren
Coverdell said Thursday that Iron But
terfly “was unhappy in a general sense
with the speedway as the site” for the
concert.
Coverdell added, “They have over a
hundred thousand dollars worth of
equipment and didn’t want to take a
chance that it would rain.”
About 1000 persons turned out for the
concert and had to be turned away, LCC
student senator Doug Strong said.
For those who had bought tickets for
the concert, Coverdell said the tickets
were valid for a concert appearance by the
Butterfly Thursday night in Portland.
Also, money paid for tickets will be
refunded, a student senate spokesman
said, but the time and place for refunds are
not yet set.
Coverdell said the LCC student body
plans to get “some legal opinions” in the
near future as to whether the rock group
can be required to live up to the contract
made for the speedway performance.
That contract stated that the Butterfly
was to be paid a guaranteed $1300 from
advance ticket sales and 85 per cent of the
net take at the gate, Coverdell said.
Arrangements for the concert in
cluded a stage which was to have been two
flat bed truck trailers put together. The
Butterfly “didn’t think it would be suitable
for their equipment,” Coverdell added.
ATO fraternity may be liable
for co-ed’s 1964 injuries
SALEM (AP)—The Oregon
Supreme Court has found that
Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at
the University may be liable for
auto accident injuries suffered by
Jane L. Wiener.
Miss Wiener had attended a
party sponsored by the fraternity
at which liquor was served. On
her way home in a car driven by
David Blair, a minor, Blair’s car
hit a building and Miss Wiener
was injured
She sued the fraternity,
Country Squire Recreation
Ranch, where the party was held,
and Daniel H. Kienow III.
Kienow had bought the liquor
for the party.
Lane County Circuit Judge
Edward Leavy had found in favor
of the defendants.
The Supreme Court agreed that
Kienow and Country Squire
Recreation Ranch should be
released from possible liability.
It said that Kienow wasn’t in
volved in the decision to allow
minors to drink, and that the
owners of the Country Squire tree
farm had no duty to supervise the
party.
But the court said the frater
nity had control over the party
and decisions relating to the
event, and a jury could conclude
that Alpha Tau Omega was
negligent.
The case was remanded for
trial
