Student activism and diversity will be celebrated during Lanestock, an end-of-year festival hosted by ASLCC.
The student-led music and arts festival will be in Bristow Square on the main campus June 3 from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. It is free for all to attend and will have food, art, and t-shirts for sale.
“I think it will be a huge success,” said Tracy Weimer, ASLCC treasurer and Lanestock chairperson.
The theme for Lanestock will be student activism. By students planning every detail of this event, they are active in making their contribution of Lanestock occur. The students planned every detail of this event to make it a family-friendly and fun environment, Weimer says.
“I think that it’s a work in progress,” said Eric Richardson, Multicultural Program coordinator. “We hope to make Lanestock a part of the Council of Clubs’ agenda, so they can help establish Lanestock as an annual event.”
There will be two stages filled with events for this festival. The main stage will be for the main bands and will also have a few speeches on the line up. The smaller stage will have different proceedings including interviewing and a debate on the Sept. 11 conspiracies.
Ryan Wilson, president of Students For Liberty, will represent the organization and speaks on the main stage at 4 p.m. The speech should last approximately 10 minutes. He plans to thank the veterans in the Veterans’ Club and wants to welcome back all of the soldiers coming home to our community in his speech.
He will share a quote from Pablo Picasso and thank the political science and philosophy departments for everything they have done for Students For Liberty.
“I think everybody is going to have a great time,” Wilson said. “I think we’ll see our soldiers that are coming back feeling good about themselves, about our economy, and the future of America.”
Students can drop in anytime and see any of the scheduled events that fit their schedule. If any questions about the event arise, feel free to send questions or comments to the Lanestock Committee at lanestock2011@gmail.com.
