Commentary paragraph

It's 10:00 in the morning and the select students who were forced out of bed begin to make their way to class. As they pass the Student Union, one would expect to see morning dew on the trees, squirrels and birds enjoying the suns bright rays, the smell of sweet breakfast being cooked at Wackadoo's and Chick Fil A. All of a sudden, the morning sereneness is abruptly haulted by ear-shattering speakers blasting brutal heavy metal music. Say goodbye to the squirrels because theres a new animal by Student Union, an electric beast raging and roaring from the speakers of what you read to be the Heavy Metal Appreciation Club at UCF. Founded in 2006, The Heavy Metal clubs mission statement is "To increase awareness, legitimacy and acceptance of heavy metal musical styles and culture, to promote a sense of community among listeners, and to expose each other to new styles of music through the creation of an open forum." The world has its views on metal and the club here tries to break that stereotype by showing there's a fun and friendly side of metal. While I repsect the club's existence, there are a few issues at bay. The main problem with the Heavy Metal Club at UCF is that it's too loud and too early. Recent surveying has concluded that there are a higher percentage of night-owls in college students over any other demograph of people in the United States. With a fact as such, the last thing any student would want to hear on their way to class after a night with lack of sleep is fast paced metal. The other problem affects morning birds, night-owls, and metal heads themselves; that is communication. All of the other clubs and organizations that are outside of the Union trying to convey messages and gain support or votes cannot be heard over the loud music. It is quite a sight to see a crowd with a pleased look on their face next to a bigger crowd of people with looks of discontent on their faces. The importance of this issue is that productivity is slowed near the student union and the music creates a big distraction to students studying for their early morning tests or organizations with limited time to make business. If things were different, say the Metal club set up their tent at 3 or 4pm, I don't think there'd be as much of a predicament. I mean lets face it; as students and faculty getting up early most of the week, we're simply cranky when we get up and things (especially loud things) can be nearly intolerable. A later time in the day or a relocation of the Metal club's tent to a less busy area would make everyone happier.
