Page Four J.1 ) 41t Ito,k. Make A Wish Approximately eleven months ago, we ( the Student Senate) made a wish. A wish to make this the best Spring Festival Behrend has ever had. Well, it seems like our wish is coming true. To start off the Spring Week of 1979 is Tom Chapin and the Unknown Comic in concert on Sunday, April 29, at 8:00 p.m. in Erie Hall. A whole generation of people grew up with the ABC-TV Net work show, Make A Wish. Sound familiar? It should, Tom Chapin has been playing guitar and flying high with his career for the past five years. Tom is a songwriter of power and sen sitivity. Tom's performance when coupled with his fine tenor voice, facile guitar work, and amazing stage presence leads to an excellent audience rapport. When Tom released his first solo album, "Life Is Like That," it received much critical ac claim, nationwide airplay and has set the stage very effectively for his next album to come out in mid 1979.

After years of delivering groceries, and having only enough money to buy baggy pants, - The Unknown Comic has decided to change his bag and make himself available for college concerts.

These are the most memorable years of our lives; help make them count. tz==Ml The African drums and gaily colored costumes appeal to a wide range of audiences; the unique and fast-paced repertoire lenth the exotic air of the Carribbean to any stage. Once again I will cite the analogy to the drunkard and the reviewer but it's only when I truly believe in something, like this. that I will use it. It's only because five times I've seen acts like this bring an audience of college students to their feet at the finish, demanding an encore. I've seen a higher response to these dance groups than to such noted figures as Gene Cotton, Cicely Tyson, and Linda Ron stadt. It will be a performance that will loom weeks after their departure. The Oakland School of Theatre Dance will be here on April 11th at E:00. It'll get to you, but the only way it'll get to you is if you get to T's for all April 5, 1979 R4otna PerformOnces' Levitate Audience By Mark Porterfield Black folklore and customs . are an integral part of American history, dating back to the African dances brought to the plantations by the slaves. In recent years, these customs have been incorporated into numerous disciplines within the arts, most notably, dance. The performing of the Oakland School of Theatre Dance, a nonprofit community arts program dedicated to preserving this folklore, has created an exciting repertoire that traces these customs from colonial to modern _times. I:t•ginning Monday, April 9, the Student Union Board will bring he Behrend community five fantastic T-shirts. The shirts will come in five different colors: tan, powder blue, red, gold, and yellow. Each T-shirt will cost a mere V. 50 (how's that for a bargain). There will be a crazy saving on each colored T-shirt. There"- one problem I can't you what the five crazy ngs are_ because I'll ruin the surpre-e. So be in the RUB lobby on April 9 and "T" for yourself.
