Morgan Hall Super Bowl Party You are all invited to attend the Morgan Hall Super Bowl Party this Sunday. Along with plenty of food and prizes, the game will be shown on a projector screen with ample seating throughout the room. The Recreation Room Doors open at 3:30 p.m. All attendants will receive a ticket and drawings will take place at the end of the first quarter. Included in the prizes are team replica jerseys, t-shirts, and a variety of other cool prizes. This will be the 2nd Annual Morgan Hall Super Bowl Party – after the success of last year’s party, we decided we wanted to involve more of the campus community. All Staff and Faculty members are more than welcome to come and hang out on the students’ turf for what will definitely be another memorable residence hall event.

Rock the Armory Gym – Feb 8 Midnight to Twelve is an original rock band with phenomenal live shows and amazing fan appeal. Based in Los Angeles, M212 has toured the US extensively while gaining new fans one city at a time. Their touring was launched when their single "SLAM" was featured on the WB's One Tree Hill and subsequently hit the radio airways around the country. This caught the attention of Evanescence and M212 opened for them on their 2003 US tour. In the fall of 2005 Indy label KORD Records signed them to a multi-album deal and immediately put them in the studio. This resulted in the January 2006 release of their album “King of Spain” which has already earned their first radio single, "Remembering." Opening for Midnight to Twelve will be Havre’s own Enzymatic. A brand new cover rock band just breaking on to the local scene, this will be their first show in Havre and proves to be their launching point. Enzymatic will keep you on your feet with the music you want to hear from the 90’s and today. Enzymatic is Steve Allison, guitar and lead vocals, Ian Munson, guitar, Joe Lamphier, bass and backing vocals, and Rob Everingham, drums and backing vocals. Sponsored by ASMSUN Program Council, this concert will be Feb. 8 in the Armory Gym. Watch for more info as this concert date gets closer. Tickets are available at the GYM, SUB and Creative Leisure. Tickets are $5/adult and $3/Students and is free for MSUN students, faculty and staff, but we would prefer they pick up a ticket before the show to avoid anyone having to show an MSUN ID. However, we will accept ID's or cash at the door. Concert time is 8pm. If you have any other questions, just let me know. Thanks for your help in getting the word out for this concert, Jim.
