Collegian Page 8 Since the new grading system went into effect, there seems to be a lot of controversy over whether or not it's practical. With this in mind, we decided to ask students what their opinion of the new grading system was. Here is what we found: Poetry Corner Slumber is out of reach. Darkness plays with my mind.

Third Stream was founded by Tom Stroh man-who plays saxophones, flutes, and keyboards, and Jim Miller-who plays acoustic and electric basses. Strohman and Miller are joined by John Peifer on the drums and James Easton playing guitar. In 1979 the group recorded the single "In Remembrance," and released their first album, Getting It Together in 1980. A 1982 album, Just Friends which features eight Central Pennsylvania jazz musicians, was produced by Strohman, Miller, and Peifer. Third Stream plays a full spectrum of jazz: Dixieland, swing, be bop, avant-garde, and fusion. Their jazz rendition of Rossini's "Wil liam Tell Overture" absolutely brought the audience to their feet. Based in Central Pennsylvania, Third Stream is one of the finest contem porary musical groups in the Mid-Atlantic region. They have appeared in numerous concerts and nightclub performances as featured artists, and also shared the bill with Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Tower of Power, Livingston Taylor and other top performers. It did not take long for out audience to realize the quality of the music and the talent of the artists. By the end of the fist song heads were bobbing and feet were tapping. After a few more songs the entire crowd was into the very spirit of the music the band wishes to share. Among other songs, they performed their own version of the Theme Song to Sanford and Son, by Quincy Jones. It was funky and alive. The audience was so enraptured that they were unaware of time going by so fast. At the end of the concert it was evident that they could not leave without doing one more song. Their encore was the Theme Song to the Flinstones. The audience enjoyed it as enthusiastically as children watching Saturday morning cartoons. As part of the Cultural Events Series, Third Stream Jazz was a definite hit. The only miss about it was those of you who did not take the opportunity to catch such a fantastic show. eatures
