Hall/piano rental charges

Here at Humboldt we don't 'rent' the recital hall because we don't have the
authority to rent a University facility.  The recital hall can be used
(although time is in extremely short supply) by on-campus groups or others
who are invited by the Music Dept. and are therefore under our 'umbrella'.
We do charge for equipment use and stage support as may be needed.  $40  for
a 'D', $30 for other grands, and $20 for an upright. (These include
tuning!?!)  These fees are many years old, and are certainly a fantastic
deal for the users.  Facilities Director types here agree that they need to
be re-assessed, but there are so many other burning issues that no one gets
around to it.
