table. Catered fruits, cheeses and
beverages were offered on
adjoining tables.
The audience was quiet and
attentive. The featured guest
speaker had begun his presenta

and Professional Management
Fraternity and their guests. All
eyes were riveted to the dual
monitors on either side of die
podium. They were watching ...

New SIE member Miles was
also the featured speaker for the
event. His topic was “How a

The Spring Evening Student
Open House on Feb. 15 was the
second time during the 1999-
2000 school year that the Student
Government Association and
PSH Administration reached out
to include evening students in
campus life.
Students flocked to the
Olmsted lobby during their class
break. Once there, they enjoyed
an ample supply of finger food,
light guitar music and the oppor
tunity to mingle with fellow stu
dents, SGA leaders, PSH faculty
and staff, and Interim Provost
and Dean Dr. John Leathers.

Powerful drum beats echoed
through Olmsted on the after
noon of Feb. 23. They were
joined by equally powerful
a cappella voices in a riveting
call and response between one
singer in the Gallery Lounge and
the remaining singers in the hall.
Voices of Africa, an all-female
choral ensemble, spent the next
hour and a half entertaining and
educating an enthusiastic group
of learners.

The hosts moved through the
crowd engaging students in con
versation. Dr. Janet Widoff, PSH
Coordinator of Student Activ
ities, assisted in the mingling
process. At one point, Widoff
playfully dragged one student
over to meet Leathers. The stu
dent, Angela Salvadia, a doctoral
candidate in Adult Education,
appreciated the effort. "I'm only
here one night a week and don't
get to interact much on campus,"
Salvadia said.
At 7:15 p.m., Olmsted's lobby
was packed with attendees. In
