Lifehouse Rocks ENMU – Approximately 2,000 attended the recent Lifehouse concert in Greyhound Arena. Will Kayatin, director of Student Activities and Organizations, reported that Lifehouse said they had never been treated as well anywhere as at ENMU. In fact, despite being tired from a previous night's concert, the band not only had an afternoon autograph signing, but even came out after their concert and signed more autographs. To top it off, they were so pumped up from their ENMU performance, they topped off the night by playing basketball for two hours in a side gym. (photos by Richard Salas)
