Since the Pause can now boast of a new dance floor and stage that resembles the warehouse look of many modern dance clubs, Dj'ed dances are quickly becoming a weekend staple. This year s Fall Concert took place on September 18. Semisonic showed up to give the Oles a night of dancing, crowdsurfing, and great music. Citizen King also performed this year at the Grand Opening of the Buntrock Commons. In past years, St. Olaf has hosted such bands as Toad the Wet Sprocket, The Violent Femmes, Soul Coughing, and The Mighty, Mighty Bosstones.
Some people choose to have their wild fun off campus.
In that case, the Grand hosts some incredible dances. The Grand is an old theatre that has been turned into a dance club. These DJed dances usually attract a large population from St. Olaf and are the perfect chance to meet new people. If you feel there s nothing exciting at St. Olaf, you can always head over to Carleton. Between the two colleges there is always something happening.
