Also playing were Hum, The Urge, Jackopierce, Poe, Semisonic, Shag and Sister 7. The concert encompassed three stages with l9 bands. One stage was dedicated to giving local bands exposure. Our number one goal was to provide a good conceit with a lot of bands for cheap, said Andrew Klein, St. Louis junior and story by Tamara Miller Q 16 Q3 , music festival financial manager. Muddy conditions were the biggest con- . cem. i Members ofthe frater- nity were forced to set up the stages the day before the event. Semis, used to transport equipment, had to be pulled out of the mud with bulldozers. Parking was also a problem. Even though the park leased 24 acres of land for event parking, cars extended over a mile c from the festival. uFor some reason, than last year even though attendance was about the samef, Klein said. Despite the kinks, Klein labeled the con- ceit a success. Not only did it provide enteitaimnent and raise money for a good cause, it gave the coordinators some business experience.

When most people thought of the Class of 2000. they thought of freshmen. However, it referred to anyone who would be graduating in 2000, Due to their se- lected fields, many stu- dents who were in pro- Hembers of the University of Kansas :lass of2000 had their first experience with mid-semester enrollment that occured in 151 Strong Hall during November when they enrolled for the spring l997 seniseter. tphoto by Kelly! curriculum. lt'll be inter- esting to see how we compare to other classesf, Anderson said. Many students who anticipated graduation in 2000 worked harder to keep their status. 'flt's a good incentive to graduate in four years. E00 is pretty cool, but 'Ol looses all its meaning, said Laurie Billars, Sioux Falls, S.D. fresh- man. The freshman class that entered in 1991 had a four year graduation rate of 22.8 percent. With the new incen- tive of graduating in 2000, that number might fessional schools or degree programs may have delayed graduating until 2000. Heather Anderson, Derby senior, was a member ofthe Phamiancy School class of 2000. We're the first class with the revised story by Iennifer Burns be raised. lt also brought up the interesting question of abbreviations.
