From the Souce

Dear friends at the Sun, and Free People's Clinic;

Thanks very, very much for running a review of our book. The review did a good job explaining the style and content of the book, and it was nice to see the way you showed how the book can relate to the people in Michigan. I loved the word "pithy" to describe the book's quotes - it's been a long time since I've seen that word.

Anyway, we can't thank you enough for your help given to us and (most important) the Health Movement. If you know of any bookstores or shops that you think might consider selling the books, please let us know. And if there is any help we can give you in the future, be sure to ask us. I hope the Sun 's open house went well - we wish we could meet some of you people there. Maybe someday we'll make it up to A2 and visit the Clinic and the Sun office.

Look for our next booklet sometime in January or February - it will be on women in prisons. We'll send you folks a copy as soon as it's printed.

In the struggle,
Peter Wray from the Source Collective

Concert Scene Comment

Dear Sun,

Being the former U of M Events Director, booking agent, and basically the person who initiated and for three years ran the UAC-Daystar Concert series, I read with some interest your concert article in the last issue. I felt the article pointed out the situation fairly and your facts were nearly always accurate. I simply wanted to emphasize the conclusion the SUN drew in the last paragraph when you said "A solution would be University funding of local cultural events, as chosen by a coalition of student and community groups independent of outside direction. Bu the University has never regarded its concert series as an important service to its students..."

The U of M, its administration, and UAC fail to understand they cannot compete with the outside forces in the music business. Good facilities and past performance aren't enough to insure future results. One university college cannot hope to offer agents, and groups the kind of continuing incentives needed to attract top talent. Pro-
