Roving Reporter: "How Do You Spend A Romantic Evening At Behrend?"

"I'm a hopeless romantic. So to
me, a romantic evening is a bottle
of wine, a Barry Manilow album,
and a starlit night -in. room 312,
with a particular Italian from
Pittsburgh."

would be camping in the gorge

a fire, a bottle of wine, and a sen

Be Jelly," choreographed by Ms.
Allen.
"The Glass Engine" develops
the simple idea of machine-like
circular motion starting simply in
the arm and growing to include
the entire body. Punctuated with
dramatic acrobatic lifts, the dance
ends with the human machine
running in perfect order and at
full tilt.
"The Glass Engine' can be en
joyed on many levels," according
to Ms. Allen. 'One can sit back
and observe the scientific unity
and mechanical preciseness which
Ms. Posin, herself the daughter of
a nuclear physicist, brings to her
work. Or one can enjoy the
technical skill required of the
dancers, or the blending of the
movement and the music, which
was composed by Phillip Glass.'

Ever wonder what those video monitors hanging all over the
school are for? Do they just flash messages all day long? No!
The Behrend College Television Network is on the. air over
these monitors every Wednesday at 12:15 p.m. and again at
6:00 p.m.
The BCTN hosted by Jon Perry and Ken Macro, will keep
the student body informed of on campus social activities and
sports events. Michelle Kohler is a roving interviewer, asking
students their opinions on current events, controversial issues,
and campus life in general..
The BCTN has many scheduled events coming up. Included
is coverage of the Winter Festival and an interview with Pro
vost and Dean John Lilley. Paul Bailey, head of ICC, who
produces the program, is hoping to cover the Inter-mural
basketball championship and air the game on the show. Other
campus events during the semester will be covered as well.
Bailey encourages student input into the show. If you are in
to video or film production, you can submit your works to
Mr. Bailey in B 126 and see it aired on BCTN.

-actually divided into two parts
each with very different qualities.
"Spill" is a playful, relaxed,
somewhat vain trio. "Quell," a
duet, is more dramatic and deals
with an urgent sense of energy ex
change and control. "Spill-Quell"
is danced to music by Bill Evans
on piano and Jim Hall on guitar.
The newest piece in PDT's
repertory, "Must Be Jelly,"
premiered in July 1983. Set to
music by legendary pianist Jelly
Roll Morton, "Must Be Jelly" is a
series of five dances recalling the
mood of the times during which
Morton composed. Costumed in
gray and white seersucker and
flounces, the dancers toss back
and forth a gray felt fedora in a
carefree manner which actually
requires high technical skill.

"For a romantic evening, which is
the best kind to have: First, kick
out your roommate. Then, turn
down the lights, put on some real
ly soft music you can dance to,
and have a bottle of wine handy.
And to make it complete, a tall,

"There aren't such things. But to
describe the perfect evening, it
would be taking a walk through
the woods, then sitting on the
edge of the gorge, at sunset,
drinking a bottle of cold red wine,
with a good-looking, blond
haired, blue-eyes guy."
