"COMPLETE AWARENESS FOR COMPLETE COMMITMENT"

VOLUME LVI NORTH CAROLINA AGRICULTURAL NUMBER 15 AND TECHNICAL STATE UNIVERSITY, GREENSBORO April 30, 1986 Aggie Fest is a big disappointment By URSULA WRIGHT Entertainment Editor About 11,000 people flock- ed to Aggie Stadium for the annual Aggie Fest on Satur- day. Beginning at noon, they waited patiently for four hours to hear Starpoint, Juicy, Trouble Funk and several other groups. During this time excited concert-goers held picnics, cooked on grills, camped out under tents and on blankets. About 4 p.m., an uniden- tified voice announced that "This concert has been trashed." At this point angry concert-goers began to throw bottles and cans at the stage. Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Sullivan Welborne said the show was canceled because Glass House Productions, the concert's promoter, brought the wrong stage to set up for Aggie Fest. Welborne said the stage had to be supported by poles, Jmw^ but they were sinking into the wet ground because of a rain The crowd waits patiently forUie showrf Starpoint, Juicy, Trouble Funk, Skinny Boys, and Chocolate (continued on page 11) were scheduled to perform this Buttermilk, who at year's Aggie Fest.

Sure, the event was an embarrassment to many, but we must realize that things such as this are pron- ed to happen at sometime or another. According to officials, A&T was not at fault for cancelling the show. If anyone is to blame it is the show's promoters, Glass Productions. But who can -TV ? we point a finger at when it was canceledbecause of the stage which failed to work? A&T officials was said the stage damaged by the MIIXONB Friday night rain. Although it was rebuilt Saturday, the structure still was not safe for use at show time. Therefore, this was the cause of cancelling the per- formance.

It all started with faith and determination of making it big someday.

Each step brought us nearer and nearer, To the dream that seemed so far away

A forward march was the great beginning that brought us to the end of our year.

We strived with great ability to make our dream come

The road sometimes seemed hard and long, But with work and pride we made it through.

The days of Aggieland will always be a memory. The great influences from teachers and friends, will be enhanced profes- sionally

A drfcam it began, an ac- complished goal it ends. This struggle moved us to greater heights while en- durance made us strong.
