Page Four Entertainment Inner Views by Mary Jo Santilli Entertainment Editor Kansas is coming! That’s right. Kansas, probably one of the touringist bands around (they’ve played in the Erie area three times in the past year) will be appearing at the field house this Friday evening. Kansas’ unique style could be described as classical, progressive Rock n Roll; the band’s most distinctive feature being Robbie Steinhardt’s fluid, at times torrid, electric violin. They’ve recorded 4 albums, three of which “Kansas”, “Song For America” and “Masque” have sold pretty well in this area of the country (members of Kansas themselves have said that Western Pa. is one of their biggest areas popularity wise). Their 4th album, “Left Over ture,” has just recently been released. So, if you want to see a tight, energetic Rock performance, get on out to the field house tomorrow night. Coming with Kansas is Ambrosia and the Earl Slick Band. Tickets are $5.50 and $6.50. For all of you people out there who complain that Behrend weekends are boring, this weekend ought to be different. If I can remember from last year, Autumn weekend was the best weekend fall term, Halloween itself, seems to bring out the wierdness in everybody. Along with the SUB activities, the Behrend Players’ production of “When You Cornin’ Back Red Ryder” which will run through the weekend and the Livingston Taylor Concert on Monday, November Ist. There’s also plenty of partying. Autumn weekend is coming up A shadow, not unlike that of a moon lander on the lunar surface, rose ominously in the stage background during David Van Amburg’s Coffee House per formance last week. It seems the Behrend College Coffee House is being invaded by good talent, even though Behrend College students seem to ignore its presence. For the second (week) in a row attendance was poor, but that did not effect the playing of David Van Amburg. He was cool and casual on stage playing a variety of Folk, Country, Blues and Rag. This was David’s second ap pearance at the Coffee House, having played it once last spring. He also made an appearance here last year at the Arts Festival in a group known as “57 Pick-Up.” He’s an Erie boy who spent nis first two years at Gannon College a g * a m and his second two at University 4f M#| llllmTllt Park.

His per formance registered an “8” on the “Douglass scale.” by Diana Lynn Kimmel Mr. Jeff Palotas, scenic designer for the Erie Playhouse will design the set for “When You Cornin’ Back, Red Ryder?” Mr. Polatas and Mr. Selco have a policy of combining ability and sweat for the Erie Playhouse and Behrend Theater. The attitude to help art flourish, not compete and destroy your fellow artist, prevails in these two theaters. This nondestructive policy seems rare among most theaters. Mr. Selco has recently been the guest director for the Erie Playhouse in the play, “That Championship Seasons.” Jeff Palotas has a wide range of experience in the design world. He has done everything from creating headpieces for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, to Lambda Sigma Convention Behrend’s Alpha Eta chapter of the Lambda Sigma Society at tended-a national convention this past weekend at Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pa. The purpose of the convention was to revise national by-laws, and rituals, elect student representatives to the national board, and meet fellow “Lambda Sigs”, across the country. Attending the convention were the four officers: Karen Macer, Louie Zegarelli, Kathy Weiser and Patty Rounds; member, Sue Ziegler; and advisor, Mrs. Mester. Events for the weekend included regional meetings, workshops, general sessions and business meetings. Enter tainment wise, the club enjoyed a square dance and hay-ride through the Amish countryside. The highlight of the weekend was and the weekend following is AU LT Weekend. If you have any buddies down at State who you haven’t seen for a while, or if you’d just like to take a look at “Happy Valley” since most of us end up there eventually, this is your weekend. It’s also a good time to go apartment hunting for those of you who will be going to State spring or fall term. If transportation is a problem, the JRC is chartering a bus. It’s $lO for the round trip and, the bus will leave from Behrend 6:00 Friday night, November 5. For more information, stop by the JRC office. Besides the football game with North Carolina State Saturday afternoon, Billy Joel will be appearing in concert at Rec Hall Saturday night. Some of you might remember Billy Joel from his hit “Piano Man” of a few years ago. Since that single and the moderately successful album it came from, Joel has released two other albums. He has a newly released LP—’’Turnstiles.” Joel’s sudden popularity lost some momentum since his debut. Hopefully Turnstiles will bring this deserving artist back into the limelight. Tickets for the concert are $3 and are available at the RUB desk. By the way, I caught part of Marc Lewis’ performance Thursday night. It’s good to see a Behrend student getting up there and displaying his talents. Good show, Marc! Speaking of performances this week’s coffee house will be EXCELLENT and should not be missed. John Imms will be the featured artist. He’s played Behrend coffee houses many times in the past and has never teaching McDowell High School adult education programs. Mr. Palotas won a Bravo Award for his work in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Among Mr. Palotas’ endeavors are the designing of the sets for “A Christmas Carol”, “West Side Story”, and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf?”. While working as a designer for a two month period at Carlisles, he designed, “I Do, I Do!”, “The Fan tasticks,” “Irma La Douce, “ and “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.” Jeff Palotas’ talents extend to acting also. He has appeared in “The Lion in Winter”, “Dracula,” and “Marat-Sade.” His .first musical lead role took place in “Guys and Dolls.” A native of Erie, Mr. Palotas the special Amish dinner, which included entertainment and a candlelight ritual. Those attending all agreed it was a fun-filled and successful convention. They felt that the students at Westminster were exceptionally hospitable and enjoyed meeting other chapters from the country. Karen Macer cited: “The convention was successful because of its achievement of a nationalistic spirit. It is really great belonging to an organization which is spread throughout the country. In discussing projects rituals and by-laws with other chapters, my knowledge of and enthusiasm for Lambda Sigma has grown immensely. I only wish that all of the members could have attended the convention and thus share in my pride of the club.” Behrend Collegian failed to put on a professional, enjoyable performance. Imms’ repertoire includes mostly original material. His songs spin tales' of loneliness, happiness, frustration, joy and all other shades of human emotioa He can be sad, hysterically funny, poignant or ironic. Whatever, John never leaves an audience disappointed. That’s November 3. If you attend even one coffee house this year, this is it. Well, that’s all for this week.
