No slowdown at HPU, even for a holiday
We ran a story earlier this week about North Carolina private colleges tightening their belts.
High Point University is an exception.
I jogged across campus this morning and construction crews were banging away.
No time for holidays or sleeping late when you've got an ambitious building program under way.
The transformation from week to week is amazing. It will take more than a recession and credit crunch to slow down HPU.

Happy New Year, Doug. And Andrew. And the rest of the Clarks.
So...you just have the two kids, right? Don't you realize how close you came to having, "The Doug Clark Five"? That would have been awesome. I guess you could still adopt, just make sure the kid can sing, you know? Fancy footwork will only get you so far.

Thanks, Steve.
Happy New Year to you.
My wife and I do indeed have two sons ... and our dog makes it a DC5.

I'll try to make sure you get an invite to the Nido Qubein School of Communications Building - we are scheduled host an open house May 14 - 17th.

Looks like great progress on that building.

I thought it was Doug Clark and His Nine Hot Nuts or was that just a side project?

"I thought it was Doug Clark and His Nine Hot Nuts or was that just a side project?"
My first reaction when reading this was, "One of those five guys has a painful story to tell."

Maybe the fifth guy runs hot and cold.
I'm still mourning the entertainment industry's loss of North Carolina's own, the late Doug Clark of HN fame.

They were out of Charlotte, weren't they Doug?

They sort of specialized in songs built on dirty limericks like " There Once Was A Man From Nantuckett..." if memory serves. Just the kind of stuff a bunch of Frosh would like on a Feburary night in a dorm. One likes to think one has moved on, but does one really?

The late Mr. Clark has.

But Doug, can one get to heaven with one's feet in the air?
His art will live on.

This Blago / Burris -Harry Reid senate floor smackdown on Tuesday promises to be the greastest spectacle since Evel Knieval did the Snake River Canyon jump. Should be wild.
