"Arts are not a frill".

Included in the Winnipeg Ballet program will be an article on Ralph Smith, the City
late Police Chief. The arts in general will be emphasized in the marketing of L. Center.
3. The Sunday, Jan. 29 Kingston Trio program is sold out. LC obtained it for
a good contract price ($3,600) and will make a profit on the show. LC will sometimes take
advantage of booking, at bargain rates, popular attractions which are not part of the Arts
Series. Profits from these programs will go towards underwriting programs that don't
make a profit. Perf. & Visual Arts will pay LC the commercial rental rate for this show.
4. The unofficial budget figures for LC for 1983 show the Center close to
breaking even. Perf. & Visual Arts section will have to dip into its fund balance for
about $3,000.

be headed up by Karl Carson. The job carries a price tag of about $100,000 and will
include soundproofing, modifying the ceiling, closing off the bleachers and will also
include remodeling in the Columbine Room.
