Beys, on the other hand, said that moving theevent to the 3200-seat Bright Hockey Arena fromthe 1000-seat Memorial Hall would dramaticallyincrease revenue potential.

Besides intra-council politics, the focus ofthe debate last night centered on the conflictinggoals of raising money for the homeless andentertaining undergraduates.

John R. Holena '94, a Rock For Shelter plannerwho does not sit on the council, objected to theprinciple of turning the charity concert into astudent-oriented show.

"This is not a concert to serve students,"Holena said. "This is a concert to benefit thehomeless."

But others--including Council Chair David A.Aronberg '93--argued that the council must preparethe most entertaining package possible.

"The concert is to benefit the students,"Aronberg said. "The students are our firstpriority. The homeless are secondary."

"The concert started out as a nice charitything," Aronberg continued. "My fear all along hasbeen that this charity thing would preclude usfrom getting a big band."

Beys contended that the chances for large-scalesuccess outweigh the risks of putting the charityevent in jeopardy.

"It's riskier," Beys said. "I'll be the firstto admit that. The question is will we inch ourway with little shows or try to go for somethingbig."

Beys' proposal to book De La Soul came wasextremely late in the planning process, as RockFor Shelter planners have already securedcommitments from bands the Barley Boys and Figureson a Beach.

Rhew, who helped raise over $7000 in the firstRock For Shelter concert last year, is also tryingto land Men of Clay. Rhew said that totalexpenditures for these three bands would be $1200.

Rhew questioned Beys' respect for the committeemembers' judgement with his proposed drasticchange of plans.

"I can't believe this has come up forrenegotiations," Rhew said. "And why did it happenso late?"

Beys apologized last night for his hastyactions, although he contends that he is acting onthe council's best interests.

"I'm sorry if I ruffled any feathers," Beyssaid
