The sights in and of themselves
were well worth the money spent to
travel to Europe. What made them
even better was sharing reactions
with students from other parts of the
globe such as Poland, Russia, Tur
key, Pakistan, France, Holland, Bra
zil, Florida and Bulgaria. "This trip
was a great opportunity to meet
people from different parts of the
world," said Kevin Mink. Talking
with these other students was fasci
nating. We shared our cultural back
ground and pasta. The interacting
diversity of students and staff is an
irreplaceable experience for any
body like myself who has never been
exposed to other cultures. I have to
admit that it was quite intimidating
meeting these other students. Most
of them, along with their native lan
guage, spoke English more good
than I do and spoke two or three
Behrend students and others visit the
other languages as well.
The general response from the
group was positive. I have yet to
speak with any of the students from
any of the countries who regretted
going. Amanda Horner says, - It was
the hest decision I ever made. I had
a great time and started some friend
ships that will hopefully last forever."

music
finally
hits the
web
Musicmakercom and Zomba, an
independent music company, have
reached an agreement that will finally
allow songs from the top of the charts
to he available through on-line com
pilations. In the past, music sites have
relied on 30-year old hits, obscure
artists, and unknown hands. In Octo
ber, however, computer surfers can
custom create CDs featuring such acts
as Britney Spears, the Backstreet
Boys and R. Kelly.
Often on a group or artist's
homepage, pieces of songs are avail
able for listening. Sometimes the full
song may he available with the aid of
a Real Player or Liquid Audio. How-
=:=SME
ever, Musicmaker.com, a Reston, Vir
ginia company, allows computer us
ers to select songs from a catalog of
more than 200,000 mostly-older
tunes. These tunes can then he
- burned" onto a CD and the custom
ized discs are mailed to the specific
user. Prices range from $9.95 to
$24.95 depending on the number of
songs selected.
Using Real Player or Liquid Audio
would not allow the song to always
he at the user's disposal and often
times the websites would change the
songs available for listening. This
means no real competition to the tra
ditional music store as the actual al
hum is released for purchase. As you
can probably see, this was the major
concern in releasing current hits to
sites such as Musicmaker.com that
can market the songs on their site.
This is basically a trial run of this
notion of selling current hits on
"burnt" CDs. If this benefits Zomba,
other labels may give in to allowing
their hot artists' songs to he available
to Musicmaker.com.
The trial period is the next five
years, the length of the licensing
agreement
