American Idol reaches final lap The Associated Press
Los Angeles | “American Idol,” which gave the world Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and Jennifer Hudson, has one more chance to mint a star before it fades into TV and music history. Whether viewers choose a future chart-topper or trivia question remains to be seen. But executive producer Nigel Lythgoe, who helped translate Britain’s “Pop Idol” into the Fox version that debuted in 2002, said the farewell episode will be memorable. “It’s going to be a rather spectacular show,” Lythgoe said, with all the former winners on hand along with past contestants and “other surprises” in the two-hour finale. “It’s about the American idols, about reminding people of 15 seasons,” he said, as well as giving the final winner his or her share of the spotlight. The contenders for the title are finalists MacKenzie Bourg, 23, of Lafayette, Louisiana; Trent Harmon, 24, of Amory, Mississippi; La’Porsha Renae, 22, of McComb, Mississippi; and Dalton Rapattoni, 19, of Dallas. The field will have been trimmed to three for the final competition episode, 9 p.m. April 6, with the winner announced April 7 at 8 p.m.

The Black Student Union hopes to use its annual Rep Yo Org showcase as a recruitment and retention tool for freshmen. Rep Yo Org is a showcase sponsored by BSU. At the event, different black organizations showcase what their organization is about. This non-competitive event strives to promote unity, according to the BSU website. The showcase will begin 7 p.m. Friday in the Holmes Student Center, Carl Sandburg Auditorium. Sophomore communication major Montgomery Proffit said Rep Yo Org is a fun event for students on campus to enjoy. “It’s also a recruitment tool for freshmen to get more involved.” Proffit said. “What excites me most about Rep Yo Org is watching all the freshmen come through. They can look at potential organizations to join.” Rep Yo Org is the first of three events the BSU will host in April. The second will be a mass meeting for the umbrella organizations
within the BSU to discuss student concerns and the third event will be Harlem Renaissance 3.0, which will tribute the Harlem Renaissance through modern art, music, dance and poetry performances. This year’s program will feature 21 organizations that fall under the BSU umbrella which include: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., SISTERS, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority Inc., Present Perfect Modeling Organization and ENVY Dance Troup. BSU President Timi Adeboje said he’s excited to see how the black students come together to support their organizations. “It’s especially helpful to many underclassmen who aren’t currently involved on campus to get familiar with an organization and hopefully [get] involved,” Adeboje said. An after party is to follow the showcase at the Recreation Center. Tickets can be purchased via niutickets.com.
