Justin Smulison The Towerlight Dark figures illiddle beneath trees a block away from the Towson Center Friday night. Wispy bands of smoke curl upward from their bodies, and the stench of women's perfume and men's dirty T-shirts fill the air. Their intentions are obvious. Those in the small groups are under the impression that if they wait outside where the buses are to arrive, they can smoke marijuana with rap group Cypress Hill. Some desperately offer up to $50 for back-stage passes. When the house lights go out at 8:45 p.m., the people scurry back inside, not taking the risk of being denied re-admittance. But the point is made � there's little denying the pull of the rap/rock cannabis con-noisseurs, especially to a college culture. Os. The doors to the Towson Center had opened 45 minutes before, with hundreds of stu-dents and non-students swarm-ing into the building to be immediately patted down by security guards. They then made their way in to the concert area, hoping to get a good view of the stage. After an uneventful hour, opening act and local favorites Jepetto took the stage and got the crowd to a jumping start, blasting hip-hop and hardcore at maximum decibel levels. ""They were good openers for Cypress Hill,"" said junior ele-mentary education major Rebecca Chrystal. But the real show was Cypress Hill, and at 10 p.m., B-Real, Sen Dog, DJ Muggs, and Bobo took to the stage, assum-ing their respective positions in front of a massive $100 bill back-drop. Fans roared with excitement, pushing against each other hop-ing to get a glimpse of B-Real and Sen Dog as they leapt and pounced from left to right through songs like ""How I Could Just Kill A Man"" and ""Insane In The Brain."" ""For a school concert, I didn't think it would have been as wild and crazy,"" sophomore business administration major David Coe said. But it was crazy, as the 2,400 fans of Cypress Hill packed the Towson Center floor, creating lots of waste and a little bit of anarchy. ""It reeked of weed and people were puking around me in the crowd, and people just walked right into puddles of it,"" Coe said. ""Regardless of all that, it was a great way to start the school year."" But some first-time mo- shers had to adjust to some of the col-orful personalities that com-posed the pit, something they weren't prepared to deal with. ""There were some people in the mosh pit that I did my best to avoid,"" sophomore photogra-phy major Mickey Kleinsorg said. ""There was this one guy who had what looked like spikes coming out from every pore of his face. But I was more scared of his appearance than his actions ]in the pit].""
