Over the past few weeks, word about the upcoming Fall Concert featuring Blackalicious has taken off around campus. The Fall Concert tradition has emphatically returned after a three-~e.ar hiatus. In years past, the event had been contentious: damage was done to campus and the VISlt- ing acts often failed to accommodate every student's musical tastes. After a poorly attended folk show at the 2003 concert, the tradition was relegated to the past. Still, the notoriety brought by hosting big names like the Roots was a source of pride for the Conn community. . Now, the efforts of SAC and Student Life, coupled with alumni generosity, have provided the means for a massive push to bring talented, "big name" musicians back to campus. And, m a sense, a certain amount of pride has been restored to our community. Sure, many students el\!0Y , the artists that headline Friday Nights Live or other established events at Conn.
