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.
The future is bright for Tom

realizing this, and Behrend is
soon going to get the chance to
experience it.
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. After winning
the grab bag decision, The
Unknown Comic has appeared
141; times on the Gong Show and
the $1.98 Beauty Contest. Since
his long success he has had little
sack lime, but lucky for him he is
able to shop the finest shopping
n,arkets for his classical war
drobe•.
Appearing as a warm up act to
The Unknown Comic is another
c•o►median. Murray Langston.
Murray has displayed his humor
on the Tonight Show. The Mike
Douglas Show. The Redd Foxx
show, Sonny and Cher Variety
Hour. and most recently. he's
been appearing on the variety
show. Everyday.
Well The Unknown Comic has
been kicking around his career
for a lot of years. He was con
sideling canning his career and
going into his cousin's glad bag
business. but before he puts a lid
on his career he is offering to you
a hilarious recital of comedy.
And better yet the Unknown
Comic is the only performer with
a recycled head.
Help make our wish come true.
Make this the bigg es t and best
Spring Festival Behrend has ever
hOd. These are the most
memorable years of our lives;
help make them count.

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

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.
