Tiger Pride Day!

Towson's 10th annual Tiger Pride Day occurred last wednesday and it had a very good turnout this year. Tiger Pride Day is when Towson students travel down to Annapolis, to lobby the MD general assembly for the betterment of Towson University. This year Towson sent about 35 students down to Annapolis, and it was a fun yet learning experience. 

Students got to meet with the different delegates and tell them about all the great things that Towson is doing and what Towson wants to do. I was really impressed with the amount of students that came. Last year, there were about 13 students that attended, which is no where near enough to talk with every legislator, but this year there were enough students to go down and show the legislators that we do care about what is going on in Annapolis and how it will effect Towson University. Hopefully, even more students will attend next year, because the greater number of students that attend the greater the impact Towson will have on the MD general assembly. 

Matt Nathanson Concert

   Matt Nathanson came to Towson on friday night, to help kick off valentine's day. The event was held in PAWS, and was a sold out show. However, I'm not sure what happened to all 400 people that were supposed to show up. 

   The concert was a sold out show, but it definitely was not that highly attended. There were probably 100-150 people present, and while this is a good amount, it did not break any fire codes. I was expecting the place to be packed, but unfortunately it wasn't. 

   Thankfully, the performance was very good. Danni Rosner was the opening act. She had a very good voice, and I would like to hear more of her songs. If you too would like to hear more, go to her website and check her out! 

    Matt Nathanson gave quite a good performance. Although he could have been a little more fun as an entertainer, however his singing was very good. 

    Next CAB is bringing David Cook to Towson, and tickets are on sale now so be sure to buy yours and look out for my post in April when he comes to Towson. 

Involvement Fair

Last week, Towson hosted its spring involvment fair, and I'm not sure which was more confusing, the lack of students interested in joining an organization or the fair's Las Vegas theme. To cover the first confusion, when you talk to different studnets around campus, most of them will tell you that they want to better the university or want to make their college experience better. So wouldn't it make sense for those students to come ot the involvement fair and actually become involved in something that could better the university or their college experience? Apparently not. Now for the second confusion, concerning the Las Vegas theme. When I walked into the union, I was greeted by an Elvis impersonator, singing his heart out. This really confused me, because its not something that you see everyday on campus. When I found out the theme of the fair, I then understood why Elvis was there, but I don't understand why the fair needed a theme in the first place. But that will just have to remain a mystery. Hopefully, by the time that the next involvement fair rolls around, movre students wil; come to check it out and they will get rid of the theme, but one can only dream.

Super Bowl party!

The Super Bowl was this Sunday and whether you're happy with the Steelers win or not, (personally I'm not but oh well), many people had a great time at the Super Bowl Party in Paws. There was a buffet, meal deals, corn hole, a football pool, and of course the Super Bowl at the party. Also there were about 125 people in attendance. This was a great turnout, especially since we planned the event in 4 days. I would love to see and plan on having more events like this through out the semester. I would also love to see a turn out like that at all of the Towson events going on around campus. People work really hard on planning and putting together the different events, and it would be great if each event was as highly attended as the Super Bowl Party.
