September 22, 1977 Entertainment Inner Views Well, here we are, folks, back to the books and back to Behrend. We’re anticipating an exciting year full of entertainment ideas, some of which have already taken place. The Student Union Board has planned many activities which are available to both commuter students and dorm students: Coffee Houses, movies, concerts, etc. Coffee Houses happen every other Wednesday. If you are looking for a time and a place to unwind and relax from all that hard studying, then Wednesday night coffee houses are the time and place to do it. So, come on down to the faculty dining room and listen to guitarists like Dan Ferraro and others. (Dan put on an excellent show at the coffee house on September 7th). So, remember, it all starts at 9 p.m., Wednesday nights. Fresh flavored doughnuts, cold soda Odds and Ends by Tim Kenney Collegian Staff Writer Life is too complex. Everytime I pick up a newspaper, I read about murder, crime, disaster, and political scandals. I’m sick of it! I’d rather learn bits of in formation that I didn’t know or that make me smile, or both! Here are some I enjoyed: America has another first: Birth control pills for dogs and cats. Now, won’t you sleep easier? In England, a middle-aged woman was accused of raping a 16-year old boy. However, the case was dismissed when the woman’s lawyer argued that the boy looked older than he actually was. Dean Bainum Tells Students Where To Go by Sheri Reim Collegian Staff Writer “Our purpose at this institution is for you! If you don’t come, then it is your education that is lacking. We want to help put your nose and feet in the right direction.” Roseland Bainum, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, advised students of ways in which certain problems can be eliminated. The following are some common questions students pose, and Dean Bainum’s solutions to these questions. Still can’t find the class right for you? Talk first to your advisor (that is why they were assigned) or to Dave Watkin, Records, Registration, and Scheduling Officer, located in the Administration Building. If no one is available, never hesitate to approach the secretary for assistance. They may have the answers you are looking for. Want to leave? All you need to do if transferring to another campus affiliated with Penn State is go to the Records Office in the Main Building and ask for a “change of assignment.” If Philharmonic Schedule The Erie Philharmonic opens its 64th season September 29, and special rates enable college students in the area to attend concerts at half price. For the classical series of six performances, students can buy a season ticket for $lO or $12.50.. That’s an offer penny-watching students can hardly refuse. Season tickets for the four Pops concerts can be bought by students for $9 or $lO. Again, a real bargain. Under the baton of Maestro Walter Hendl, a conductor of considerable experience and acclaim, the Philharmonic- will give classical concerts on Sep tember 29, October 27; November 10, February 16, March 9, and April 13: Guests will include by Robin Baulding Entertainment Editor pop, aiid delicious hot coffee are sold. The upcoming coffee house will be October sth. You must check out the movies, another delight sponsored by the Union Board. These films are offered every Sunday, at 6:30 p.m. and again at 9 p.m. Also, a horror film series is being presented every Wednesday afternoon and evening, 3:15 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. I’m sure you don’t want to miss movies like the ones we’ve just seen, “Flesh Gordon,” and “Let’s Scare Jessica To Death.” This coming Sunday, September 25th, “A Clockwork Orange” and Wednesday, Sep tember 28th, “The Other,” will be shown. Well, folks, see you at the Coffee Houses and movies! Oh, don’t forget to check out the jazz concert, “Concourse,” in the RUB lecture hall, Thursday, September 29th, at 8 p.m. Don’t miss it! Don’t gripe about marijuana laws in Pennsylvania. In some Mid-East countries, mere possession means the firing squad for these apprehended, and in other countries, prison terms, ranging from 20 years to life. Spiders may not be an eight legged beauty, but they’re vital to man’s survival. If all the spiders were removed from the earth for one week, the world would be covered with a 4 inch blanket of bugs! . Copper pennies may become obsolete. Mints claim it costs 1.3 cents to make a single penny. Hence, too expensive. Venus fly traps do not eat meat, but rather absorb the body fluids and discard the carcass. What’s for lunch? transferring to another school, ask for a “university transcript” to be sent to the degree granting institution. Running out of money? Try the Financial Aid Officer, Larry Skerlong, in the Reed Building. You had better hurry before the funds run out! Frustrated with a professor? Try to have an intelligent con versation with the professor. If that does not seem to improve the situation, then talk to the head of the department. Results should soon appear. Feel you could be advised more skillfully? Academic Services, located in the Administration Building, will help you find an advisor with answers to all your questions. Just can’t seem to stop bleeding? For any physical difficulties or accidents that occur, go immediately to the Dispensary for medical assistance.

The play, set in a New York bar in 1974, is a powerful retrospective of the 1960’s as seen through the eyes of five people trying to drown their memories in drink. Each character gives a series of monologues, directed to the audience and totally unrelated to one another. The characters include Wanda, a young, middle-aged Catholic girl who worships President Kennedy; Sparger, an off-off Broadway actor; Mark, a Vietnam veteran, popping pills and drinking beer; Rona, a former student activist reminiscing about acid trips and protest marches; and Carla, a part-time go-go girl whose dream is to be like Marilyn Monroe. Clive Barnes, reviewer for The New York Times, said of the 1975 Broadway production of “Ken nedy’s Children”: “You could actually be eavesdropping on the drunken but revealing, paranoid but illuminating meanderings of the barstool set of bad-cafe society.” The cast includes several returning Behrend Players: Deirdre McCauley as Wanda; Gregg Johnson as the bartender, and Tim Baum as Mark. These people had parts in last spring’s production of “The Birthday Party,” and were cast, respec tively, as Meg, McCann, and Stanley in that play. “Kennedy’s Children” also has some new faces among the cast. First term student Tracy Parks portrays Rona; Professor Ron Larson, Associate Professor of on concert nights. All performances are in the Warner Theater in downtown Erie, beginning at 8:30 p.m. [Kodak Math at Behrend, portrays graduate drama majors and will Sparger, and Jo Laraway, a be involved in productions in the graduate student, plays Carla.
