The fall quarter concerts showed that Ken Cardona, ASUSC Social Vice President, attempted to expose students and the public to a broad range of music. Both students and the public, however, did not respond as ASUSC had anticipated. For example, ASUSC suffered an 318,600 loss on the Charlie Daniels concert. The fans that did attend, though, seemed satisfied. Unfortunately, ASUSC budget demands were not satisfied and it was forced to discuss possible solutions. The solutions included the taking of a campus survey to find out what kinds of music students want to hear, and the use of an outside promoter who would relieve the financial burden ol' sponsoring concerts. Students would still work at the concerts and receive ticket discounts. Despite the loss, the Charlie Daniels concert provided another good ol' time for all who attended. The climax of the concert was when Charlie broke out the fiddle and picked his way through The Devil Went Down To Georgia - an all time favorite of true Daniels' fans. Ken and ASUSC continued to look for a solution, whether it be with an outside promoter or campus survey, and promised that there would be concerts in the future.
