University of Nonsensical Happenings: SCOPE: Primed for a big .
Don t think me Good for once I have facts to cover up my statements Everyone at UNH already knows about SCOPE the Student Committee On Popular Entertainment They are the students who hire different bands various musicians and comedians to entertain or at least try to entertain the student body I have already dedicated several posts in the past to mocking SCOPE but I feel it is necessary to make a spirit inside SCOPE Through the help of several anonymous field agents at several universities I have been able gather information that is commonly not released to the public This is good stuff one scholar has already been fired
for tipping off one of my field agents at UMaine Don t think me Read this What I have learned is that for this year SCOPE has a budget of 203 000 to cover artist and agent fees and a production budget of 65 000 The production fee covers expenses such as security renting the Whittemore Center lighting sound equipment and other things of that nature SCOPE is budgeted for a taxation of 140 000 a year which actually goes to the Student Activity Fee The SAF is where the original money comes from and SCOPE must get an approval from that office before committing to a particular performer If SCOPE meets or exceeds that 140 000 they are more easily approved for a bigger show in the fountain or the next year So the rear note is if we by tickets to the return and winter shows preferably make them sellout we can carry a larger and better show for Spring Climax My Maine agent was capable to get out through the VP of their student entertainment board who has since been fired that UMaine was alloted 260 000 this year And for that I applaud SCOPE because we have had Akon who although I don t care is a huge name that made a lot of money and a really funny but not a hugely named comedian Bo Burnham tonight nbsp So far this year UMaine has had The Decemberists Dierks Bentley and Bob I suck dick for coke Saget Saget may be a larger name than Burnham but he is old and past his prime I don t really see him appealing to a younger college aged audience SCOPE has been getting better college shows for less money well done But is that really a surprise I mean who would need to go perform at UMaine even if they can pay more I feel as though SCOPE has set themselves up nicely for a big Spring Climax show because of how much money they probably brought in from Akon alone plus tonight s show This way that they should have a decent amount remaining to pass and an approval for a bigger show SCOPE please do not let me down You have earned my trust that the spring show will be big Please don t give me eat my words nbsp Let s see what you got On a side note I heard this song the former day and I suppose I wish it It s by Goldfish who I guess are like South Africa s answer to MGMT It s different from my usual music taste but it s sort of catchy Stay classy not UMassy
