BEHREND STUDENT PUBLISHED
John Coleman (Bth semester, English) recently had his short story, "The Old Sword", accepted for
publication by PHOEBE, a periodical of George Mason University, published in Fairfax, Virginia.
"It's my first publication in a literary journal outside of Behrend College," said Coleman. "I wrote it
about a year ago, and sent it out 5 times before it was accepted. It was a wonderful surprise."
Mr. Coleman said that the chances are great that a story will have to be sent out many times before it will
be accepted. "Submitting fiction to literary journals, at least for me, involves a hard-headedness", he said.
The unusual aspect of "The Old Sword" is that it's written from a first person perspective, despite the
fact that the main character is a female.
"It was a challange,", - said Coleman. "Basically, the story has a simple premise. It's about an old
woman who walks to the store•and then walks home."
He said that the original draft took about 10 hours, which was followed by "lots of tinkering," for
about a month.
Mr. Coleman cited faculty members D.H. George and Jim Davis, as well as former student Chuck
Beckman, as having a substantial influence on his writing.
Mr. Coleman is planning to attend graduate school for creative writing, and then work toward a doc
torate in literature. - - •
Editorial
Musical Events Upcoming
By Carolyn Brnst
The Music Department at Behrend is preparing for some exciting
upcoming events. The most extensive production in rehearsal is that
of the concert choir, and from the sound of things, we are in for an
unforgettable evening of entertainment.
Mr. David Stuntz, musical director, explained that this year's pro
gram is the beginning of a totally different idea that will hopefully
become an annual tradition. Imagine listening to 30 minutes of
Mozart from the complete mass in Latin and you will understand
why it is to become a tradition of true aesthetic quality.
The concert choir will perform following the Award Ceremony
honoring the academic and organizational achievements of various
elected students. The choir includes four student soloists accom
panied by string, trumpet, timpany and violin players as well as the
Chorus. "
The ceremony, to be held in the Reed Lecture Hall, will start at
2:00 on Sunday, April 29th with the concert choir immediately folio
wiung and ending with a reception to bring the afternoon to a plea
sant cloSe. -
According to Mr. Stuntz, "This exposure will help people we have
now, recruit freshmen for next year as well as promote faculty
awareness in order for advisors to help students register for the class,
as there will be a need for large numbers,."
All are welcome to attend this sure to be memorable evening and
admission is free. Good luck concert choir, and thank you for hav
ing th courage to try something as nice as the classics.
Also in store from the musical department are the Pep band, who
will be performing at commencements and the Swing choir, who will
perform at the Lamba Sigma banquet. The date of the banquet is-
April 15th at 5:00 in the Gorge. The entertainment includes solo,
duet, and quartet performers.
Correction:
In the Student Opinion segment
of the February 17, 1984, issue of
the Behrend Collegian, Andy
Luddy (4th semester, Electrical
Engineering) was misquoted in his
comments concerning the
American presence in Lebanon.
The correct statement should have
read, "If there's any reason to

One of the next productions to
be staged at Studio 29's repertory
theatre is a delightful comedy
written by Neil Simon entitled
Last of the Red Hot Lovers.
Upstairs on the second floor of
1505 State Street, a director nam
ed Lucian Zabramny is diligently
involved in the making of a show
that promises to "tickle your fun
ny bone.'!
The story, in three acts, follows
the hopeless attempts of a 47 year
old married man. named Barney
Cushman, played by John
Shaughnesy, to have not one but
three affairs with some very in
teresting ladies. But if Barney had
any idea of the characters he was
to meet (in his mother's apart

Elaine Navazio, played by Kim

She is in her late thirties, and
reveals a not so pleasing disposi

Bobbi Michele, played by Carolyn

drug-crazed lesbian who also falls
