Nothing to
Crow about
by Adria Kevaly
Collegian Staff
The second installment of
The Crow series. The Crow:
City of Angels, which opened
Aug. 30, is nothing to really
crow about.
The Crow, Ashe, is played
by Vincent Perez, a single
father who, with his son
Danny, accidentally witnesses a
murder. They are then killed
afterward by the four thugs that
committed the crime.
Ashe returns to settle the
score with the foursome as
well as their boss, Judah
(Richard Brook). Ashe is set
upon his path by Sarah (Mia
Kirshner), who is led to Ashe
through dream-visions.
One by one, Ashe finds and
eliminates the four killers,
before his Final conflict with
Judah-a grueling battle that
Dear Diane
by Diane Van Arsdale
DEAR DIANE:
Two years ago, I made a trip out
of town to visit with family. My
aunt took me to a pool league at the
convenient bar and liquor store
one particular night. Throughout
the night, I couldn’t help but
notice that a particular gentleman
was staring at me. I felt awkward,
but went with it.
Considering my aunt and I were
in tight quarters, she sent me over
to sit near my younger cousin’s
boyfriend, which I did. My
cousin’s boyfriend and I started
talking about my home state. One
particular guy was in the group
and asked me lots of questions
about where I lived.
He is the one I want to get in
touch with again. I saw him again
a few days later while out having
lunch with my aunt. He was star
ing at me while I was eating. My
sed?)
takes place amid a concert
crowd celebrating the “Day of
the Dead.”
While the special effects and
cinematography, as well as the
soundtrack, were exceptional,
the movie itself was merely a
parallel to its predecessor.
Alhough the plot could not
be changed without altering the
concept, it was like sitting
through The Crow all over
again. City has enough
references to be a sequel, but
seeing the original is not
necessary to follow the story.
Again, while City offers a
few new twists to the Crow
saga, it still felt like a rerun.
My opinion is wait for it to
come out on video, or if you
don’t want to wait that long,
rent The Crow--you'll get the
same thing and save some
money at the same time!
biggest mistake was not asking
him for his last name, number and
address.
Now I’m at my wit’s end trying
to find him. I’m sure he still lives
in that area. I even went back
again and stayed for two months in
hopes, of seeing him, but I had no
hick. Do you have any suggestions
as to how I can find him?
WONDERING
DEAR WONDERING:
I understand that you have quite a
crush on this person. However, I
must offer a dose of reality. If he
were interested, he would have
found a way to get in touch with you
through your cousin or your aunt.
Also, since you live in two different
states, it would be awfully hard to
cany on any sort of real relationship.
My advice to you is to find someone
closer to home. Pursuing this guy is
serving no purpose.

Fun, unique, exciting and
new age are all words that have
been used to describe the Logan
Music Series.
It's time, once again, for the
music series to return to
Behrend. The first concert will
be on Sept 13, at noon, in the
Wintergarden. Friday's
performance will consist of a
musical group which simply
calls themselves CELLO.
CELLO is an all women's
cello quartet, which combines
classical, jazz, and pop music
to create chamber music that
appeals to a broad spectrum of
listeners.
Just the mention of chamber
music usually sends students
running for the nearest exit.
The “tube” review

Hope you weren't planning
on the same Fall Friends "this
year because there’s a reunion
on the way.
Each year Fox, NBC, ABC,
CBS and many other networks
attempt to broadcast new
shows to catch the public eye.
It has been said, in the last
year, television has catered to
young adults thus alienating
the older crowd. But for Fall
'96, we are about to bring
home the rest of "the family."
In their attempt to win back
the interests of the mature
audience, networks have come
up with 39 new shows. Some
include old familiar faces while
others introduce a new crowd.
There is a new blend of
drama, sci-fi, and those well
needed comedies. About 60
percent of prime time has been
modified. Here are quick
previews of some shows in
Fall 96.

David Sluntz, organizer of the
Logan Series, and musical
director here at Behrcnd,
realized this problem and set
out to find a solution.
Stuntz asked his students one
question: "Why don't you go
to classical music concerts?"
He took the students' responses
and used them to create the
Logan Music Series.
"Saturday night concerts,
specialized attire, strange and
darkened auditoriums, expense,
(and) lengthy performances" are
a thing of the past when it
comes to the Logan Series says
Stuntz.
Stuntz also pointed out that
he wanted "to remove some of
the... barriers between students,
good music, and good
musicians."
Low and behold! Guess
who's back. . . Bill Cosby.
This time he and Phylicia
Rashad play a working class
couple dealing with life after a
forced retirement. Cosby airs
Mondays, 8 p.m. on CBS.
Another familiar face is that
beloved Alex P. Keaton from
Family Ties. Except now
Michael J. Fox plays a deputy
mayor on Spin City, Tuesdays,
9:30 p.m. on ABC.
Here's a face you haven't
seen in awhile. Remember the
star of Sixteen Candles and
Pretty in Pink? You guessed
it. Molly Ringwald stars in
her new show Townies.
Townies relates the stort of
three friends who decide to try
life in a small town.
If you thought that Alicia
Silverstone was hot in
Clueless, check out her look
alike Rachel Blanchard, in the
series. Clueless. It airs
Fridays, 9 p.m. on ABC.

This is why each concert is
held at noon during the week,
the atmosphere is very relaxed,
the performance lasts no more
than fifty minutes, and
admission is free.
"The series is an attempt to
reach students who are not
musicians and for the most
part, are not fans of "quality
music.” We want to "hook"
them or at least begin an
interest in music, which will
ultimately lead to their
enjoyment and support of fine
music," boasts Stuntz.
Other performances will be
held on October 8, and
November 11.
These are just the tip of the
Fall '96 iceberg. Many more
exciting shows will make an
appearance on the small screen
as well.
Have no fear, though. The
same old shows that
concentrated on putting cramps
in your sides and smiles on
you faces are still around.
Roseanne, Seinfeld, Friends,
Chicago Hope, ER, Melrose
Place, Ellen, and the many
others are still alive for another
season. What might have
changed is their air time.
Check it out!
It looks like the networks
have hit the nail on the head to
their Fall ‘96 line-up...let’s
hope we have a winner!
