Redirected Fury

Dear Sir:

We were most pleased to read in
the Tuesday issue of The Cavalier
Daily that the University Union was
absolved of Saturday's "concert
failure blamo" (to quote the
headline), and that the real
blunderers were, in fact, 1) a
worker for the Department of
Buildings and Grounds, 2) his
young son, and 3) two University
policemen.

We had the strange and
unfounded notion that an
organization that is professional
enough to sponsor a concert and
professional enough to handle
student funds in excess of $20,000
(paid in good faith) is likewise
professional enough to ensure that
the sound system for that concert is
double-checked by the appropriate
technicians, thus avoiding
"mayhem" like that which
occurred Saturday night.

We are sorry for having held a
student group suspect. We are
indeed indebted to your resourceful
writer who has redirected our fury.
