LEB seeks new
executives
Nine students needed to
fill entertainment
executive positions

At the end of the spring semester,
executive board chairs will be open for
students interested in joining the Lion
Entertainment Board. Applications are
available in the Office of Student
Activities. They are due March 5.
Meetings are every Wednesday at 8 p.m.
in Reedll4.
The LEB is responsible for any band,
comedian or movie that plays at Behrend
like "School of Rock" or comedian Tim
Young. It is a student-run organization,
composed of an executive board and
respective committees, with a total of
about 35 members. Members decide on
the programs and provide the majority
of the entertainment that takes place on
campus.
"Students have total control," said
adviser Michelle Barbich, coordinator of
Student Organizations and Program
Development, "They decide through
their committees who they're going to
bring."
The group is lead by a nine-member
executive board made up of an executive
director, assistant executive director,
administrative assistant, financial
director, web master, night club chair,
comedy chair, publicity chair and film
chair. Each board member has a specific
purpose. The board's goal —"Get as
much entertainment on campus as

board
possible with the funds available," said
Executive Director Dave Daquelente.
Being on the LEB can be a lot of work.
Some duties include attending
conferences, negotiating prices,
collaborating with local venues, signing
contracts, cutting checks, making hotel
arrangements, arranging transportation,
setting up a stage and sound system,
advertising and finally, attracting a
crowd.
It is not without rewards, however.
Each board member receives a stipend,
as well as in Michelle Barbich's opinion,
"a great leadership opportunity."
The LEB's missions statement is "We,
the principle programming body of the
Behrend College of the Pennsylvania
State University, shall serve to provide
programs which serve the cultural, social
interest of the Behrend College and its
community, work with the Office of
Student Activities to procure the above,
and be responsible for the provision of
activities, programs, and services which
are of an all-college nature."
In the year 2004, the LEB has a budget
of $65,000. The money was requested
from the Student Activity Fee and will
be used to bring entertainers such as
Juliana Theory and comedians like
Michelle Rouch. Upcoming events and
special programs as well as information
on the LEB can be found on its Web site
at www.clubs.psu.edu/bd/leb.
