Professional Educations?
By Jim Martin
Exec. Editor
Picking up the daily
newspaper, one knows by reading
the headlines the market of free
enterprise is becoming limited. It
becomes more limited each
succeeding year. One also knows
this point very well when it hits
close to home. A lot of people are
out of work; many being students,
and if employed, they are filling
slots beneath their educated
value. Today's market offerings
Student's to
present play
TERMINALis the name of the
theatre piece that is being
presented free in the RUB Quiet
Lounge on Tuesday, April 1 at 8
p.m. by the Behrend Student
Theatre Ensemble. This
production is unique to Behrend
because it is entirely student
produced and directed.
TERMINAL deals with the
premise that people "...neither
face their death or participate in
their life." It consists of inter
locking fragments of happenings,
with most of the action consisting
of dance-like body movements.
As it was originally. performed
by the Open Theatre in New York
the text was written by Susan
Yankowitz but most of the
movement, expression, and
characterizations in this par
ticular production is the result of
collaboration and ex
perimentation of the Ensemble
members. TERMINAL will offer
the Behrend audience a new type
of theatre experience. which will
change from absurd, bizarre and
macabre to humorous.
The Behrend Student Theatre
Ensemble includes Kathy
Donatelli, Ginny Dreibelis, Ed
Fratus. Deb Kurlancheek, Thcm
Leßlanc. Mary Beth Mellor, Beth
Moore. Tim Newell, Mark
Studenrnund, Michael Wolfram.
Gene Wirth (Director).

anything but over-saturated.
Presently a student in graduate
school, attending the prestigous
Wharton School of Finance, is in
deep despair. He did not receive
more than one grade beneath that
of a "B" during his entire college
and graduate schooling. To this
date, with countless resumes
delivered to prospective em-.
ployers, none have so much as
hinted at hiring him. Sure, in
terviews abound. but so what if no
dollar signs entertain his eyes.
This point hits close to home; too
close.
The Behrend student certainly
ponders this reality (graduates
are probably engulfed with it).
What then does earning high,
honest grades do for the Behrend
student?
In contemporary business, one
requires a higher education than
his competitors. Indeed, is this
so? Reading the Torkes

Survive" caught my interest. It
revealed a hard fact for a
professional to swallow. (If your
grades are poor, heed this word):
New York City offers a trained
freight elevator operator a salary
in excess of $27,000 (for a 40-
hour week) a year including a
four-week vacation to sun in.
Thus the bright, young MBA can
always hope to get a job running a
freight elevator: This pay is
considerably more than the
starting pay MBA's (approx.
$15,000) is even from the most
prestigious schools.
Reaping such benefits may be
prudent, however, earning a
degree is advantageous to suc
cess. This is so if not just for the
ability to recognize such
possibilities within the business
market. The education buttresses
the shrewd ability to comprehend
developing trends which will need
professional knowledge. As for
honest grades, integrity begets
more integrity, which begets the
"American Buck"!
Liberal Arts will be among the
many representatives on hand.
A schedule of events will be
posted on the bulletin board
outside of the library. The
CWENS and Career Development
and Placement Center are
sponsoring the event.
If you've ever asked yourself
questions like: What can I do to
develop a career? What courses
and major can best prepare me
for a career? What is the outlook
on the job market for my career
choice? Then "Career Day" is a
must, plan to attend it and get
your answers.
After all, it's your future!
Choir's Comparable Performance
The Behrend College Choir
once again proved their ver
satility and ability with an
exuberating performance of
Vivaldi's Gloria. Under the
direction of Mr. Davis Giersch,
the Behrend Choir combined with
the Chancel Choir of Emmanuel
United Presbyterian Church
presented Vivaldi's Baroaue,
masterpiece at the church
service last Sunday. Accom
paniment was provided by the
Perry String Quartet, whose
members are Howard Lyon,
violin, Robert Rudolph, violin,
Mary Ann Saylan. viola, Jean
Verdecchia, cello, Kathryn
Rusterholtz and Kathleen Hoff

companied the choirs on organ.
The service was broadcasted live
over WJET.
Gloria, by Antonio Vivaldi is a
30-minute, 12-movement
piece for solo voices, mixed
chorus and orchestra. The
themes range from energy-filled
glorification of God to lulling
interpretations of peace on earth.
The choir's interpretation of the
fourth movement, Gratias
Agimus Tiki, was one of
energetic, devoted vocalists. This
movement was performed
acappella which assisted the
choir in producing a totally
captivating sound. The alto
section's rendition of Qui Sedes ad
Dexteram was magnificently
performed and an added at
traction for all. Another
movement well performed by the
choirs and string quartet was the
final movement Cum Sancto
Spiritu. A rich and concentrated,
precise sound was descriptive of
the entire performance. Jane
Anderson, member of the Chancel
Choir, was soloist on Domine
Deus. Agnus Dei, while Mary
Esther Becker, also a member of
the Chancel Choir, soloed on
Domine Deus and the two
professional voices joined
'together in Laudamus Te. Ms.
Anderson and Ms. Becker did a

cafeteria, sharing a little coffee

the white armband around the
upper arm of his black leather

significance. We were informed
that there was to be a protest at 2

visiting hours in the dorms. Al

The Black Student Union plans
to be more active this Spring
term with a lot of unique ac
tivities. The first fund raising
event will be a car wash. It will be

Other activites in store for the
Spring Arts Festival, during the
week of May 5-11, will be a Black
History Presentation. This will
entail readings of successful
Black People and their con-
remarkable job on these
movements. In totality, the
combined choirs performance of
Gloria filled the church with a
beautiful and energetic at
mosphere. In short, it was a job
well done.
