What happened to a good Spring Fling?

Spring Fling Committee:

Remember those posters last year that begged us to raise the student tax so we could have a good show this year at Spring Fling? What happened? I don’t know who is behind this but I have to ask, “Why do we only have one member of Wu Tang ‘we were cool ten years ago’ Clan coming? Couldn’t we afford two? My frosh year I remember the Roots played and I thought that was pretty hot. Last year the Beat Nuts and Slum Village were here and I thought, ”Hey, I heard one of your songs once I think, right?“ When prompted to vote to raise the student tax I said, ”Sure, I’ll put in five more bucks so we can get someone good next year.“ But that didn’t happen.

My point is that I realized that I have no idea who runs this Spring Fling committee, and that they have zero accountability in spending our dollars. So listen Spring Fling people, get in touch with Wes, because we want someone more well-known than G-FuzzyBunny or whoever you’re booking, and you promised us that. If you don’t think you can book a more well-known band or performer just tell me your budget and I’ll contact some agents who have already told me that they are willing to work with whatever we have. And gods forbid that anyone should run a campus-wide poll presenting everyone with a few options that can be booked at this late date. Tell us what’s up and how we can help get someone amazing here. You can take the credit. Just please don’t give us a poor show or ignore this plea to open up dialogue. Feel free to contact me directly, and my apologies in advance if you find this uninformed or mean.
