Where's our entertainment?/Week 6/ONU
What ever happened to having concerts on campus? I remember my sophmore year we had O.A.R. come and it was the jam. Since then all that we have had are these old performers that only our parents would care to come see. We pay a whole lot of money to go to this school and we get very minimal entertainment in return. Even if we had to pay for tickets students would still go. I say SPC steps their game up and gets a big name here in the spring. Whenever I talk to someone for SPC they say they have no money in their budget. Well do not waste it on comedians and stupid magicians. Why doesn't SPC ask the students what we want to see rather than assuming what we want to see. Ohio State has had close to ten concerts a year for free and it is not small name bands. Last year OSU had Kanye West and Rihanna. Now I don't think we could afford Kanye West or Justin Timberlake, but let's see what we can afford. Let me know what everyone thinks.

I agree that ONU caters homecoming to the alumni instead of a fair balance between student and alumni activities. ONU is really missing out here.
I do not plan to be around for homecoming again this year because there is no reason to stay and I have something else more interesting happening off campus. The university is doing itself a disservice by not making a connection with students now and that may affect whether or not they return in the future.
The school doesn’t want students to turn to drinking, but on a celebratory weekend like next weekend what else do students have offered to them that is extremely interesting? Maybe we don’t have the funds to provide student activities, but I would think the university would want this occasion to run smoothly. Since homecoming brings many people to campus it is obvious there is a need to make a great impression. The university seems to think that that impression can only be reflected on what the alumni see and experience, not so much on what current students, who will one day be alumni I remind you, see and experience.
