Social Programming Board announced Wednesday that after intense negotiations, it has reached a compromise regarding the canceled fall 2016WILD and the campus-hosted presidential debate.

Among the remaining five presidential candidates, the three who are not chosen as the Democratic or Republican nominee have agreed to put on a performance for the Washington University student body.

The boys are back in town

Raul Salami of SPB has revealed to Student Life that long after most students forgot about the cancellation of fall WILD, most of the board continued to make other arrangements.

“It’s going to be my senior year,” Salami confided, “there’s no way I’m going to let the biggest thing on campus be some stupid student government debate.”

When educated on the national breadth of the event, Salami snorted loudly before muttering “yeah, sure” and turning back to his organic chemistry textbook.

After several overly passionate students informed the presidential candidates about the importance and cultural significance of WILD, they unanimously agreed that such an upstanding tradition should be upheld.

“The arts should never be shoved aside on American campuses,” candidate Bernie Sanders proclaimed.

“I’ll be bringing my banjo; it’ll be just like Woodstock,” the Vermont senator added.

Appearing behind this reporter with terrifying stealth, candidate Hillary Clinton produced a collection of unopened CDs. “I can’t wait to share all my favorite tunes, if chosen to perform at the Washington University Walk In Lay Down. I have Two Directions, the Bieber and even Ariana Large. It’ll be radical!”

Aides then removed the former secretary of state in order to treat the Grinch-like smile that had grown exponentially during the statement.

The Wash. U. Young Republicans have translated a proclamation from frontrunner Donald Trump regarding the new WILD headliners: “A concert? In Washington? That damn state didn’t even vote for— (muffled yelling) Fine. But if I play, there’s gonna be a multistory stage, pyrotechnics and a spotlight to follow me around. Oh and someone else is going to have to play the music, there’s no way I’m going to— (more muffled yelling).”

At the time of this publication, the front of Brookings Quadrangle was being fitted for a large “TRUMP” neon sign. Desperately pushing through Trump’s entourage, Senator Ted Cruz managed to declare he could play the flute before being confronted by several police officers about his apparent connection with a series of murders committed in California in the 1960s.

John Kasich, governor of Ohio, could not be found for comment.

While Wash. U. will still be transformed into a political arena next semester, at least the student body will retain its beloved WILD. While several students have commented on SPB’s apparent continued lack of ability to book big-name bands, most are still cautiously optimistic about the re-instated school-wide concert.

Freshman Mark Sydney, who reportedly did not make it to Brookings Quad for his first WILD, specified, “I didn’t know who any of the choices were, but I filled out the survey anyway. SPB is getting a bit too pretentious though; I had to show ID to even get to the form this time.”

Friends speculate that Sydney will most likely make it to “at least the bunny” at this fall’s attempt.

So as the school continues to make preparations for the national spotlight, the campus administration can be assured that the student body will have had the appropriate dose of “party school” in order to put on its business casuals and appear professional surrounding the event. In the meantime, several students are lending their suite couches to candidate Sanders, who has decided to just leave the campaign trail behind and get in touch with his electorate. He has been spotted at Beta Theta Pi’s house several times and is immensely enjoying Bear’s Den’s kosher station.
