The House of Blues was jam-packed Thursday night with all different kinds of people, from hipsters to members of the corporate world.

The night started off with singer, acoustic guitarist and keyboardist Eric Hutchinson, who produced a surprisingly full sound considering he was only backed by an electric bassist and a drummer.

Proposed meal plan changes for 2009-2010:

-Residential Services will add a new feature called Campus Cash. Campus Cash will be similar to Frog Bucks, but the card will not be pre-paid and students will only be able to use Campus Cash at on-campus locations like 1873 Sports Bar & Grill, The Corner Store and Sub Connection. Gold and Platinum meal plans will give students equal amounts of Frog Bucks and Campus Cash, and the Silver meal plan will give students $100 in Campus Cash, but no Frog Bucks.
