With the continued concert scene and the beginning of winter sports, this week on campus has been a great time to be a Commodore.

Music City

Concert season may be dwindling as the temperatures decline, but it surely has not come to a stop. Hustler staffers jammed out to Adam Melchor, The Paper Kites, The Japanese House, Avery Lynch and Jeremy Zucker.

Sports

The men’s basketball team made their debut of the season this past Tuesday, Nov. 7. Though they lost this fall’s opener against Presbyterian, Vanderbilt made a comeback against USC Upstate on Friday, Nov. 10.

Students continued to enjoy the beauty of Vanderbilt’s campus wildlife and chilly weather throughout construction.
