Quactrong Bui – Music Director WUD – Hip Hop as a Movement marred by lack of understanding, Blues Scholars show nearly cancelled. UWPD has a misunderstanding with the WUD regarding hip-hop. They have to understand, as a student org on campus, we have a stake to what we put on here. We don’t book bands to cause problems.
Shainah – Halloween policy – no music at the union, due to, what she thinks, was an Omega party last year. “We’re not just a number or statistic” – need to make strides to make people feel welcome.
John Barnhardt -Union President- Isn’t happening just here, it’s happening other places – such as Colorado Springs where they’re considering banning hip-hop shows.
Matt Forrest – on a campus where hip-hop is becoming a cultural tool, it seems to be something that UW is embracing but rejecting at the same time.
Bui – We are not the Majestic. UWPD came here during the Blues Scholars shows, declaring “you forced us to be here.”
