NEW Music rings through Wintergarden for 10 years On October 14th, your craving for culture can he satisfied in the Wintergarden of Reed by The Cavani String Quartet. This interna tionally acclaimed group of musi cians is presented to the students, faculty, and community members as part of the Music at Noon: Logan Wintergarden Series. Last month, the Manhattan Wind Quintet appeared on the Penn State Behrend campus, filling the student union with several selections of clas sical music. The group not only en tertained its audience, but educated them on how they shaped certain songs not necessarily written for five-part harmony, so that they could perform them. Also, the performers described certain parts of the selec tions for the audience to listen for, enabling them to distinguish between the different movements, or to rein force a particularly wonderful part. The music alone was sufficiently en tertaining, hut when paired with the insight of the musicians by whom it was performed, made for an hour and a half program that no one should have missed. Music at Noon: The Logan Accesibility improvements to be made on Behrend campus A grant was given to Penn State Behrend in the amount of $200,000 from the Erie Community Foundation to build elevators in two key locations on campus—Reed Union Building and the glass-enclosed staircase near the suites. The University will match the funds to construct the elevators. Provost and Dean Dr. Jonh Lilley said this gift is very important to the College. Lilley said, "We've wanted to make these facilities accessible for OCTOBER 8, 1999, THE BEHREND BEACON, PAGE 3 by Erin Henninger staff writer by Shannon %Veber news editor There will be no publication of the Beacon next week due to Fall Break.
