 Z—THE KENTUCKY KERNEL. Thursday. AIM 3. l978
For UK musical performances

Copyright law tr) cost about $9600

By ANITA B. STURGILL
Kernel Staff Writer

After 15 years of lobbying
by the musicians union, the
US. Congress hm pssed a
revision of the copyright
laws, which no longer
exempts universities from
paying copyright and royalty
fee charges.

The bill, which went into
effect January 1, 1978, will
affect concerts, stage shows,
symphonies, recitals,
chamber music and variety
shows held on campis.

A total of $4,791.96 must be
paid to the three musical
societies involved. From UK,
the American Society of
Composers, Authors and
Publishers will receive
$1,994.94, while Broadcast
Music Incorporated will get
$1,737.02 and SESAC will

The amount paid is
determined by the number of
students attending the
college. UK must pay five
cents per full-time student to
BMI and six cents per full-
time student to ASCAP.

A national negotiating team
met with the three musical
societies to develop model
contracts. One member of the
committee was Mary Jo
Mertons, of the Student
Center.

“I was chosen because I
was chairman of the National
Educational College Actors
Association," said Mertons.

Representatives from the
American Council on
Education, College Union
Incorporation, and
Association for Educators
were also on the committee
along with others.

“We attended the meeting
so the societies would not

FADED PICTURE!

determine the fees than-
selves. The fees probably
would have been much higher
than what we paid if we had
not attended,” she said.

Merton said the negotiating _

‘team was not totally satisfied
with the outcome.

“The contracts are
reasonable for larger in-
stitutions, bit for smaller
colleges, some aspects of the
contract might be unfair,” .
she said.

The reason for the contract
is because no one received
any royalties from the music
being played at the univer-
sities, Mertons said, but with
the new bill, they will receive
royalties.

(People who write songs
and have them copyrighted.
are members of one of the
three societies.)

“We have received one of
the contracts and the others

are on the way," said Gay
Elste of UK’s legal counsel.

The contracts are the same
for every miversity around
the country, but special
conditions are written in for
universities asking for them.

Each of these socities has
conditional contracts with the
University. “UK has written
into their contracts that if a
favorable offer is made to one
university, UK will receive
the same offer,” said Elste.

“We have internally
devised a system to pay the
royalty fees and additional
fees,” added Elste.

ASCAP requires its royalty
fee to be charged by the ticket
price and the seating
capactiy of the concert. BMI
charges by seating capacity
alone.

“If a performer is paid
$1,000 or more, that there is
an additional royalty fee

charge,” said Elste.

A memorandum issued by
Jack Blanton, vice president
of business affairs, to
University officials on June 1,
1978, said the flat fees to the
three societies will be paid
from general fund monies;
however, the per concert fees
must be paid from monies
generated by the per-
formance.

Elste added that in cases of
an outside promotion, legal
services and the promoter
will decide who pays the
royalty fee. The decision will
then be written into the
contract.

The flat blanket fee covers
piped-in music in buildings,
the non-dramatic musicals
performed and the campis
radio station. The latter must
maintain weekly lists of

Plaza fountain
will be saved

With the severe winters of the past two years helping it
along, the name of the game has been “rapid
deterioration” for the fountain in the Patterson Office
Tower plaza.

Cracked concrete, fallen rubble and missing sections
have diminished what Jack Blanton, vice president for
business affairs, calls an “aesthetic addition to the
campus. I am dedicated to keeping it going."

Blanton said there are two proposals on how to correct
the situation. The first, he said, would be to repair the
damage and then seal the entire structure. This
operation would cost $15,000 and he said, “We are not
sure that will last very long,"

The'second suggestion has been to take the fountain
apart, precast the structure, seal it and then reassemble
it in the original basin. This method would cost the
[Tniveisity $28,000.

Blanton said the deterioration is the result of not
sealing the structure when it was built. Since then, water
has permeated the stone and the recent winters have
speeded up the normal process of water freezing in the
rock, causing it to crack and break away.

He added that the fountain was not originally made
from precast concrete. but poured into forms built on the
plaza.

The next step. said Blanton, is to discuss the alter-
natives with l'K President ()tis Singletary. A decision is
expected by fall with the actual repair work to be done
next summer.

Students, staff
deserve'input’ '
into UK policy

University officals are due a commendation in their
handling of basic proposals that involve members of the'
University community. Recently, two issues have come
before them in which they have actively sought input and
suggestions from those parties affected by the eventual
decision.

When planning began for a Student Center addition,
officials asked students what they would like to see in-
cluded in the facility. Their suggestions were recorded
and a priority list was drawn up for use by the architects been
in designing the structure. Our

This past spring when negotiations began for new two g
employee health inwrance contracts, a certain amount
of complaints were heard about the proposed policies.
The University responded with another survey to
determine what features most employees wanted. The
results were used in designing the package accepted by
the University last week.

In both cases, those people with the most to gain or lose
in the situation were given the chance to voice an opinion,
one that would later affect the outcome of the situation.
This practice should be standard procedure when an
issue arises that will have a far-reaching affect, but
unfortunately it isn’t.

But when it does happen. it’s worth recognizing.

Stars, tuntmen, special effects_- from every :1 angle, production of 'Steel’ looks like Hollyi' Mead

By F. JENAY TATE
Managing Editor

The new of Steel Productions, Inc. has built
another floor of Kincaid Tower — or Hayes Plaza
Tower — nmr UK’s water tower; close to the
ground where the curious can sample a bit of

Hollywood.

From a distance, the new set resembles a true
constuction site. A variety of vehicles and people
surround the building’s one-story skeleton struc-
ture. But cameras, familiar actors and a scin-
tillating atmosphere tip the unknowing soul.

The building’s beams are wood— painted gray,
textured like steel and finished with a rust coloring
The twang of wrench meeting steel will be dubbed
in to replace the thud of wrench on wood.

Perched on one of the girders, actor George
Kennedy has his foot secured to a beam before
filming a scene. “Now, I’ll fall down that way and
kill myself," he tells an assistant.

A few feet below Kennedy on the set, a production
crew of about 30 waits and the director’s “Roll it,
please,” silences the area.

Under Kennedy’s direction, a large crane begins
lowering a beam. He and Tommy Holmes, the
stuntman playing opposite Kennedy in the scene,
wrestle with the beam.

About 20 feet from the set, the sound man
monitors noise. He doesn’t need his equipment to
hear a baby’s cry and a dog’s yelp near the end of
the take. The noises make the take useless.

Dialogue is short in this scene, but several takes

are made.

“Memorizing isn’t difficult,” Kennedy said of his -

lines “You can teach a parrot to say catch phrases.
Figuring out what to do with the words once you
have them is the problem.”

Kennedy said he rehearses lines in his head, but
doesn’t sit around practicing orally.

Kennedy described his character as an “all-but-
retired steelmaker, working on his last job and . . .
having problems with it."

Four younger steelworkers — extras fro
Lexington — sit on the set in the shade of a truc
filled with props, waiting for their chance befor
the cameras.

Ron Lacy — sandy-haired, gruff and muscular
succinctly states their purpose: “We’re Hollyw
steel workers. We’re in top (of the building) sho
we’re in the background. Sometimes they need u
other times we wait.”

The number of, and need for, extras depends o
the sceneto be shot, says lean, tough-looking Henr
Lester One scene had as many as 500 extras

Aubrey Porter — dark and husky — mills
aimlessly. “I just walk around and pick up wood,"
he says.

Rick Myer talks of his impression with
smoothness and friendliness of the operation

“Everybody works along together. And we’re all on
a first name basis."

The extras seem accustomed to the movie life —
12- hour working days, delays, and little time in

A front of the camera They speak dismally, however,
, of spending an hour on the set and recording only

two minutes of film.
But that’ 5 part of if, according to Kennedy. “In

this or any movie, about 55 minutes of every hour

goes to things other than actual filming," he said.

Terry Kiser, who plays the role of a gang
member, has a philosophy about acting and filming
on the set “You can equate it with a car, ” he said.
“If you turn off the motor it stops running. But on
the set you ve got to keep the motor running all the
time. You' re with it 12 hours both mentally and
physically.‘

Kiser said he has no difficulty separating himself
from a part. ‘You can separate from the character,
but maybe the character can‘t separate from the
actor. There's a difference."

Two women ~ who are not actresses but are
accustomed to the ways of the film circuit — wait
in lawn chairs for filming to resume. They have
special interest in the next scene — an explosion ——
because their husbands are the special effects men

' in charge.

Roger George and Frank DeMarco work together
as freelancers, Marie DeMarco says. Not long ago,
the two women traveled with their husbands to
Colorado for the filming of Avalanche.

Virginia George says she and Mrs. DeMarco
usually go with their husbands because months of
filming in a strange place can get boring.

On the set, it’s time for the blast.

Ready, ignite.

Not big enough, so they try again. This time,
flames shoot above the girders and smoke pours
into the air. The explosion, produced by a small, but
intricate piece of equipment, is supposed to send
Kennedy's character falling to his death.

After the blast, preparation begins for the actual
filming of Kennedy's fall. A giant air bag is inflated
to reach almost the top of the set.

There’s a delay, however, because it‘s lunch time
and the movie people make a dash for the catering

trailer.

Jerry Lundergran, of Lundy‘ 5 Catering, said the
lunch menu consisted of barbequed chicken, roast
beef and a variety of salads vegetables and breads.

The service prepares ‘a real spread ‘ for every
meal. he said

Three workers usually handle the serving, he
said whether the crowd is 70 or 500. The catering
serxice takes care of feeding the crew on all the
sites and in all kintS of weather, Lundergran ad-

ded.

The reason for constructing the new set is itself
descriptive of part of the movie world. Filming on
the ground whenever possible costs less money and
produces more film, said Jim Nasella, second
assistant producer.

Preparation for shooting scenes on the Patterson
Office Tower roof set takes at least six hours, he
said. “Three hours to get it (the equipment) up and
three to get it down. it's like losing almost six hours
every day we shoot up there."

Nasella said filming for Steel should be com-
pleted in six weeks. He emphasized that filming is
not behind schedule — even though rain “shifts the
schedule. which is constantly fluctuating and

changing."

By DJ. HOSKINS
Kernel Staff Writer

In a state renowned for top
grade thoroughh'eds and a
thriving agriculture industry,
many have found it sur~
prising that none of Ken-
tucky’s universities have a
professional veterinary
school.

But according to Dr. M.
Ward Crowe, pro-veterinary
advisor for UK, one isn’t
needed

“The neech of Kentucky are
being met by the present
situation," said Crowe who

guides UK students through

the pre-veterinary
requirements and then aides
them in finding a school in
another state for their
professional training.

There are 24 veterinary
schools across the country,
but the majority of Kentucky
students work toward ac-
ceptance at either Auburn
Veterinary School in
Alabama or Ohio Sta
