Gearing
up for CAFNR Week

With
excitement for CAFNR Week building, many changes are taking
place. Last year’s name change from Ag Week to CAFNR
Week won’t be the only difference. Changes include the
selling of alcohol, the location of events and live entertainment.
Last year, students
became very passionate about the changing of Ag Week to CAFNR
week. A tri-director for CAFNR Week 2006, Chris Nation said,
“Older students definitely cared more [about the change
from Ag Week to CAFNR Week]. Freshman didn’t really
know what was going on. Sophomores through seniors wondered
why/how it got changed like that. I’m a stickler for
tradition and hated to see it change too.” The change
was made in order to help get students from the entire college
to participate more in the week’s activities.
The 2006 CAFNR
Week Steering Committee in a letter to the CAFNR Students
said, “We chose to make these events alcohol-free to
prevent accidents, increase participation and reduce liability.”
In the past alcohol has been for sale to those 21 years of
age during Skit Night and Barnwarming. Nation said, “Some
people are against it and don’t like it. That goes with
change. People don’t like change. I think it’ll
be better off in the long run.”
0n Sept. 9 CAFNR students will have entertainment provided
by Brandon Jenkins and his band singing their "red dirt" country music at the annual Barnwarming. This year, Barnwarming will be held at the Blue Note from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Another
tri-director for CAFNR Week 2006, Allyssa Berry said, “It
is true that CAFNR Week has changed quite a bit over the past
couple of years, but our purpose is still the same: to create
a celebration of agriculture, food and natural resources in
which the students, faculty and community can take part."
