Behrend feels the beat of the "Rhythm of the Night"
by Julie Karasinski
Collegian Contributing Writer
Two years ago "Behrend
Thriller," a homemade version of
Michael Jackson's "Thriller"
video made by, and starring
Behrend students, was filmed on
various locations around campus.
It was intended as a promotional
video for Behrend, but copyright
permission could not be obtained,
preventing it from being shown
promotionally. Now it is used to
entertain potential students and
give them a taste of what some of
the students do in their spare time.
To keep the process going, the
newly formed Video Committee is
producing another video,
"Rhythm of the Night" by

On Saturday, March 22, our
cadets were off to Fairview to the
Gem City Outdoorsmen's Club
for familiarization firing of the
MI6AI rifle. Rifle Club President
Glen Hordusky supervised the
range activities that the Rifle Club
Deßarge. This time, they're going
through all the proper channels.
Penn State lawyers are looking in
to copyright permission and fees
so the video can be used for pro
motion publicly.
This energetic video requires
lots of people dancing and having
a good time. Deßarge has a guar
dian angel type role. They save
Behrend campus from boredom
by coming and creating excite
ment and fun.
Behrend's version of "Rhythm
of the Night" will open with a
camera scanning Behrend cam
pus, showing people doing every
day things; hanging around cam
pus, studying, and perhaps play
ing softball. Then Deßarge will
drive in and start singing. People
performed.
Prior to the actual firing, the
Rifle Club provided an interesting
demonstration. They hung a
plastic, one-gallon milk jug, full
of water, from a target brace,
beside a can of shaving cream.
Then expert marksman Rich Wills
fired at the water jug and it ex
ploded wide open.

will realize that they're there and
run towards them, singing and
dancing. A parade scene will go
past past different places around
campus, maybe through, the Reed
Building, and end up on Perry
lawn, where a choreographed
dance scene will take place on the
different levels.
After narrowing down and
selecting "Rhythm of the Night"
from several other videos, two
members of the Video Commit

Lamore, came up with the
storyline themselves. "We sat
down and listened to the music

Then, as Hordusky sighted on
the pressurized shaving cream
can, a hush of anticipation fell
over the spectators, until finally,
he fired. The can teetered on the
post. Everyone figured he had
missed by a hair, and the breeze of
the bullet had teetered the can. He
fired again, and nothing moved.
Frustrated, Glenn took a third

"Okay Glenn, you can go get
the can now," said Master
Sergeant (MSG) Young.
Glenn came back, beaming,
with can in hand. "I didn't think I
could have missed three times in a
row." He held up the can, oozing
shaving cream, with three bullet
holes, clean through.

and other domestic duties of the sort. Services will then be rendered to
the_ master on Thursday, April 10.
Student Programming Council President, Kim Neely said bidding
usually starts out at $1 and noted that one servant sold for $4B at Penn
State's McKeesport campus.
All generated revenue benefits the nation-wide effort to help and feed
the homeless in "Hands Across America."
Hands will join on Memorial Day, May 25 from New York's Battery
Park to Long Beach, California,linking 5.5 million people. Pittsburgh
marks the closest point to Erie, PA where "Hands" passes through.

be done by participants_ in the

garb worn to a picnic or an out
door dance in bright colors so
they will be easily picked up by the
camera and add to the festive
mood._ Deßarge will be
distinguished from the rest of the
crowd by wearing unique
clothing.
Funding is provided mostly by a
mini-grant and the remainder is
covered by soliciting clubs: -

fahrenheit. The increased pressure
was released just as quickly as it
was created," MSG Young
explained.
"The human body is over 75
percent water. So—are there any
questions on the shock effect of
the MI6AI rifle? (Silence) I didn't
think so. I think this little
demonstration shows why it's im
portant to keep your weapon
pointed up and down range," he
concluded.
After the demonstration, the
cadets were instructed via round
robin on safety procedures, the
field-stripping and cleaning of the
M I§Al Rifle and on Land
navigation.
About thirty cadets got to try
their hand at firing the Army's
main assault rifle on the fifty foot
range.
