The lights go out with a thick layer of fog rolling off the stage. Students Cheer in anticipation for their end of the year concert.
         Donald Glover, the lead rapper for the group, "Childish Gambino" performed at Swarthmore College Saturday, April 27th for what was supposed to be a five hour show.
          He was scheduled to begin at Seven Thirty pm, and end early the next morning. Clover did not come out until close to 8:30pm and he ended at 11:30pm due to technical difficulties.
           JWM Entertainment group, was in charge of the lights and sound for the artist.  John M. Wolk the president of the company attended the concert and said, "The stands holding the lights and speakers is over fifteen hundred pounds. When the students were jumping I saw them shaking and my heart skipped a beat and I had to stop the show for the safety of the students."
           Mame Yarukara, a Junior, was with her friends after the show venting over the "awful event planning." said, "They choose to put this show indoors in a room that can only fit 300 people with a weight limit for all the equipment." She further explains that the show should of been outside because there would of been no issue with the equipment and everyone would be able to attend."
           Glover, later posted on his Twitter page, "Swarthmore, I apologize. I was told during the show that jumping could cause a collapse. Come to the Philly show to see a full performance."
           Besides the objection towards the planning the show was full of energy, and excited college students were jumping and singing along to the lyrics of Glover's songs. The short show seemed to be of no concerns to the majority of Swarthmore students. It appeared everyone was satisfied by the end and ready to party afterwards.
           Nick kushner, a Junior, was inviting everyone to a party after the show.  In the middle of a song he said, "This concert is {profanity} awesome!" and after leaving the building he said, "It was a blast dude." Others in the crowd agreed.
