Unfortunately, only 25 people were there to support the speakers or hear what they had to say. On Saturday, I stopped by the Cowboy Mouth concert with some of my friends. The Fieldhouse seemed like kind of a small place to hold a big concert, but luckily there were only about 200 people there. The Homecoming Committee did an excellent job planning activities and making this finally, after three years here, feel like a real celebration. However, the planners can only do so much.
Students have to show up.
I have touched on this subject before, but student complaints about nothing to do compared to how many resources we have on campus are way out of proportion. Like Hell was a lot of fun, but there were still many groups not represented. The football game was also a great show of school spirit by both the players and the fans. However, I would hope we would rally around such an American tradition, and it seems absurd that we had to drag people to a football game. Besides sports, there are always arts activities ranging from stopping in Harmon Fine Arts Hall to see what is displayed on the wall to checking out the next play or the orchestra concert at the end of this month.
