upperclassman Joe Getway who gives
an emotionally devastating perfor
mance of Anton Schill. Schill is faced
with a shocking reality that leaves him
reaching for any spark of decency
from his friends and neighbors. Joe
successfully takes the character
through states of confusion, terror,
sadness, and loneliness that is sure to
touch the hearts of all audience mem
bers. Joe has been seen in other
memorable performances such as Bo
from last year's production of Only
You as well as appearances in Antigone
and The Rice of Strangers.
Another familiar face in The Visit
is Bond Davis playing the role of
Kobby the Blind Man. Bond has also
been seen as Leo in Only You as well
as roles in Heathen Valley, The Rice
of Strangers, and The Pirates of
Penzance.
Also from the cast of The Pirates of
Penzance, giving strong perfor
mances, are Darryl Dambaugh, play
ing the Pastor, and Leo Hanley as the
Truck Driver and the First Man. Ken

International Studies
Program Gets a Boost
by Michael Frawley
assistant editor
Behrend’s International Studies pro
gram got a boost this past week in the
form of a $ 150,000 pledge from a long
time friend of the college. John K.
Henne, a resident of Titusville, donated
the money as an endowment loi the
program. The John K. Henne Endow
ment for International Studies at Be
hrend will allow even more students
to become involved in the International
Studies program.
The International Studies program
offers a unique opportunity for stu
dents. While taking classes that will
help toward graduation, students will
gain the experience of living in another
country and learning about another
culture that will benefit them in today’s
global marketplace.
This gift, along with the Ethel and
Irvin H. Kochel Scholarship Endow
ment for International Studies, will
Behrend Cheerleaders practice in the Reed Building Commons. Watch pooy 19 rawey

article on the Cheerleaders will appear in a future issue
w ill be stepping out of the classroom
into a very different role of playing
the part of the corrupt mayor.
Impressively making their first stu
dio theatre appearance are Mark
Ahrends as Pedro, Jana Magoc as
Bobbi, David Sonney as The Station
Master/Reporter, Jack Kichura as the
Policeman. Susan Rohde as the
Teacher, Jackson Connor as the Doc
tor. and Amy Vay and Bethany
Cummings as the First and the Sec
ond Woman.
For The Visit . the studio theatre
once again changes appearance as the
stage runs up the center of the the
atre. This works well and interest
ingly creates a very different view for
the audience. The dark lighting and
set complete the image of this
sunless, hopeless, somber town.
Everyone is sure to enjoy the in
tensity and unique mystery inherent
in The Visit. Mr. Elliot and the cast
should once again be applauded for
an amazingly distinctive and deeply
felt performance that is different from
anything you have ever seen before.
The Visit opens tonight and runs
help Behrend reach its goal ol get
ting at least twenty percent of the stu
dent body involved in study abroad
programs Behrend will be offering
three student abroad programs this
year; Spain, Germany, and England.
