Adj ournment MEMORANDUM 8/25/81 TO: CSUN Senate FROM: Pat Keenan, Aquarian Earth Fair Working Committee RE: Request for Allocation of Funds We are forced to request additional funds for the Aquarian Earth Fair (scheduled for September 24-27 on the UNLV campus) in order to make the Fair the success we have consistently intended and aimed for. A brief recapitulation of events is in order. Last spring, the CSUN Senate voted overwhelmingly to support the concept of the Aquarian Earth Fair, although funds could not be allocated until the new fiscal year for this fall's activities. Rick Oshinski volunteered to be the CSUN Senate's representative on the Aquarian Earth Fair Working Committee. As soon as the new officers were installed and the new fiscal year began for CSUN, the Fair Working Committee submitted a budget proposal to the Entertainment and Pro-gramming Board for $5000, which was approved. Plans vent forward rapidly in all areas. Very recently, the Fair Working Committee was told that the E & P Board have over-extended their resources in planning and that the budget for the Fair was being cut to $3000. A good deal of shifting of plans and rethinking of priorities has occurred in the Fair Working Committee meetings, and we find that in order to proceed and to give the students and the community the kind of event which was envisioned and which will do credit to CSUN, UNLV, the Aquarian Earth Network and other sponsors of the Fair, we need funds in addition to the $3000 from the E & P Board. 1. In order to advertise and market Marilyn Ferguson's appearance properly, we need an additional $900, minimum. E & P's diminished allocation for publicity will only cover the costs of general flyers and programs. 2. A proposal has been received for a bas-relief sculpture, approximately 6' x 3', to be created by passers-by during the Pair and under the supervision of fine ceramicist, Greg Kennedy. The bas-relief would be glazed and fired and would hang in the Student Union as a permanent record of this Fair. We need $500 for materials and glazing. (Greg Kennedy will donate his time and facilities for firing, etc.) 3. A nationally recognized musician from Los Angeles, "Francisco", wants to do-nate a performance for the Fair, and we need to pay approximately $500 for a truck to transport his fourteen-foot instrument, the "Cosmic Beam", here. His music is very "New Age" and would provide an especially appropriate closing performance for the Fair Sunday evening.
