Well the Red White and Black Ball is no longer such. The as you could probably guess, the red white and black themed end of the year "ball" hosted by Alpha Psi Omega, doesn't require those colors anymore. Wear what ever colors you like, its all good in the new hood! Now the "Curtain Call Ball" will be held on Center Stage at the University of Central Arkansas tomorrow night starting 6pm. The ball usually consists of some finger foods, n/a punch, some goofy outfits, a nice slide show, some awards, and good byes. Don't forget about the afterparty that will run into the morning hours as they usually do.

Common pulls a no show

The University of Central Arkansas hosted Lupe Fiasco and headlined Common on Tuesday night. The show started at roughly 8:30 and Around 10 they announced that Common was not coming due to weather in Dallas. The ticket sales for the show were very poor and only around 600 were sold. Word of mouth between SGA and students is that the no show was caused by this lack of sales. I attended the show wanting to see Common as one of my 'ol school favorite MCs's, only to be largely let down by the stunt. They are giving half refunds for the mishap, only when i took my ticket stub to the box office to get my refund, i was told it would be in the form of a check that i would receive in 6 to 8 weeks. WAK! Come on Common all you had to do was come and rock the house for a podunk ass college and everything would have worked out just fine. You let us down hard. Play on Playa'.
