–––––––––––––––––––––––––– The Student Committee of Programming Events, which we all know as SCOPE, plans events every single week from August through May, only stopping for a quick winter break. If it weren’t for their 14 committee heads overseeing technology, weekends, and much more, the 2 SCOPE cochairs would be lost. And as those committee heads receive a well-deserved praise every-so-often, the 2 co-chairs don’t hear “thanks” quite as much. But first, let’s hear a little tale about how the spring concert was planned this year! Ahh, good ole Lindsay “Linda” Lynch and Glenn “Glenn” Altshuler. Ever since September, they have been planning the long-awaited May spring concert and spring carnival. A poll was put up on ChargerVoice. com, asking for student votes on who they would like to see attend spring concert. Many choices were listed on this poll
from Lady Gaga to the Zac Brown Band. While some of the acts listed were not acts that could legitimately come to campus, they gave the co-chairs an

idea of what kind of music students were looking for. The next step connected Glenn and Lindsay (Lindsay is the less-hairy one) with an intermediate booking agent who helps represent UNH when dealing with potential acts. At the same time, a second poll was sent out -- this time in the form of a survey. It allowed SCOPE to identify bands that would fit within their $235,000 See SCOPE page 8
