It is with heaviness of heart that
I take pen in hand to denounce the
scoundrels who have been swiping
our posters. Lay off, kleptos! I
can't deny that you've got great
taste in billboards, but how about
leaving ours up until next Saturday
morning? Posters cost money -
which neither WUVA nor the
Student Council has very much of
- and you're effectively de-publicizing
an important event with each
one you tear down. It wouldn't be
so bad if a lot of people still didn't
know that John Mayall, THE
greatest English bluesman, the
musician whose bands have been
the school where such brilliant
guitarists as Eric Clapton, Jack
Bruce, and Mick Taylor were
educated, will be appearing at
University Hall next Friday along
with Lighthouse, an 18-piece Canadian
jazz-rock ensemble that
brought down the house at William
and Mary three weeks ago, and that
all profits from the concert are
going to the Churchill Jordan
Scholarship Fund and the Minority
Recruitment Effort. But there are
still a few students who remain
unaware of what a great concert
they're going to miss if they don't
make it out to U. Hall next Friday
night, so leave our posters up, huh?
