Yet ANOTHER parking conundrum in our
midst |
|
Just
when the Appalachian community thought the parking situation could
not get worse, plans for removal of around 300 spaces near Whitener
Hall makes the nightmare a reality.
By December, graduate assistants will no longer
be permitted to park vehicles in Legends or Raley parking lots and
will be diverted to the current overflow areas of Stadium or Greenwood
lots. Raley and Legends lots will be converted to faculty and staff
parking only.

Music
is one of the most powerful tools available to the common man. It
has the ability to persuade, inform, entertain and make someone
cry while making another laugh. No one does it better than the Dave
Matthews Band (DMB).
The five guys from Charlottesville, Va., all come
from different musical directions. Vocalist and guitarist Dave Matthews
grew up in South Africa, listening to the sounds of anti-apartheid-related
music. Violinist Boyd Tinsley has classical music training. Saxophonist
Leroi Moore is coming from a jazzy, blues style place, while drummer
Carter Beauford plays the jazz and hip-hop. Completing the group
is musical prodigy Stefan Lessard, who brings in the rock sound.
The combining of all these styles into a completely different, startling
work of art is what makes DMB go round.

I’ll
admit, Boone isn’t as boring as most people would make it out
to be. If you look hard enough, there will be one form of entertainment
or another happening on any given night.
There’s always an ample supply of music such
as Zoso or The Dave Matthews Cover Band, as well as the usual staples
of Grand Torino, Acoustic Syndicate and Disco Biscuits, who make
their yearly rounds to Boone.
The Cinema and Draft nights are always fun, digging
up old classics and cult favorites for a meager $1 admission.
