Congratulations, Class of 986 "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 trash- ed." 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.
