Rapper favored, but not realistic
In response to Wes Woods IIís article "I want
Snoop on Campus," I have to say I am completely down with having Snoop
Dogg perform in The Pyramid.
I'll admit that although I may be "pretty
fly for a white guy" I love Long Beach as well. In fact I pay more money
a month for parking citations than I pay for rent.

I have crossed my index and middle fingers
in the form of a cherished ìWî so tightly that I've had to have them surgically
separated.
The bottom line is that it has taken five
years and four presidents before me to be able to break through the stereotypes,
bureaucracy and apprehensions that the university has held in the past
in orderto have a concert of any kind in The Pyramid.
We gradually need to phase in the "controversial"
acts so we don't destroy five years of effort and so we can establish The
Pyramid as a reputable concert venue.
I want to thank everyone involved from
the Associated Students Inc. and USU Program Council to the University
Police and Staff Pro for making the concert Monday in the Student Union
a dynamic event.
I was all fired up when Opie Ortiz dedicated
"Bad Fish" to deceased Sublime singer Bradley Nowell' who used to perform
in The Nugget, and I am looking forward to seeing more of them in the future.
So Woods, we find ourselves in agreement.
