David Accetta said. The 14 survivors suffered injuries.

By Nick Mills and Nicholas Mills · Monday, Feb. 19,2007 12 a.m.

After three years, senior Codey Girten finally saw his musical take the stage of the Buskirk-Chumley Theater last week. “February Stars: The Foosical” is a college love story based on the music of alternative rock band the Foo Fighters. Girten, the director, created the rock musical for his senior project as part of the Individualized Major Program. “There hasn’t been a single part of the process that’s been a downer,” Girten said. The Brewskies, a cover band from Louisville, Ky., performed the songs. The band attracted quite a few hard-core Brewskies fans that came up from Louisville just to watch them perform.
