You’re driving back onto campus after a quick trip to Walmart, and that’s when you see them. The cones. They’re everywhere. Far too many of the little orange things to be necessary. And as if the massive amounts of cones aren’t overkill enough, there are at least five guys in yellow, reflective vests making extra sure that you don’t run over the unsuspecting pedestrians. Sorry sir, I forgot this wasn’t Grand Theft Auto. Thank you for reminding me that these aren’t AI’s in a video game for me to drag along under the axles of my car at 120 mph.

Anyone who was here when the Poinsett Project kicked off this time last year may be wondering what happened to all those grand plans. The old Piedmont Shirt Factory, the old building that has “Life Without Television?” spray painted on the wall, is set for demolition to make way for a new building. Greenville County determined that this location was central and could become a link for different parts of the city.

If you’re getting tired of the usual line-up of CLPs, it seems that Furman is allowing CLPs of a different variety lately. In the past months we have had two spoken word events that have been granted CLP status.

Everyone knows that Furman’s band is fantastic. So it makes sense that we show them off every year on parent’s weekend with the Band Extravaganza.
