Soreng Theatre, but that it was also recognized that the WOW hall could also e host most of the performances suitable for the Soreng Theatre. He said that the CCPA was hesitant to endorse any plan that created unnatural competition. He said that the proposed rates and Mr. Reynolds' request for the City Council to consider making a contribution to cover any deficit of the Soreng Theatre might create more stress in the survival of the CCPA. He said that the CCPA would speak neither for nor against the rate change, but it would remind the council of the larger vision of the performing arts community. He said the health of this community as a whole must be maintained to fulfill the promise of a desti- nation point area. He suggested that the council take these factors into consideration in making its decision and that it actively seek input from the artist community. He said the staff of the CCPA needed to know the council realized there was more to the Eugene arts community that the Hult Center. There being no further testimony, public hearing was closed. Mr. Reynolds said that the Hult Center was also interested in the success of any group that could operate without a deficit. He said that the center had referred business to the WOW Hall for the reasons previously stated. He said that concern was shared that any action of the Hult Center did not jeopardize the existence of the WOW Hall. Res.
