Riot Act In
Hazleton
Can you name four corn
elians performing insane
and embarrassing skits
in the Commons? If you
said Riot Act, your
absolutely right.
On Tuesday , September
12th, Hazleton undergrads
were treated to a spect
acle of mirth and mayhem.
How, you might wonder,
did this menagerie begin?
Promptly at high noon,
four comedians strutted
out onto center stage.
As they began their
routines, Chuck Me Collum
warned the audience that
the group wasn't quite
sane. To prove this
point, Rob Reed ran on
stage and lobbed a fake
watermelon into the
audience, almost "nailing"
this reporter.
As the pace started to
pick up the laughs began
flowing freely. Some
skits included a remake
of the Beach Boys' "Surf
ing USA" into "Minature
Golf", Jeopardy with
fourth graders, and Win,
Lose or Draw starring
Vice President Dan
Qualye.
Not content to enter
tain by themselves, Riot
Act volunteered some of
the audience to partici
pate. During a Dating
Game skit Riot Act asked
each partner different
questions resulting in
hilarious laughs and
embarrassed contestents.
Riot Act also showed
off incredible singing
talents by remaking
Beatle's hits as comm
ercials for Listermint
and Secret deoderant.

Airy Rose added a solo
entitled "The Safe Sex
Blues" and everyone
laughed through the Phil
Donohue skit.
Ending on a high note,
Riot Act proved them
selves great comedians
and a certain croud
pleaser. Next time
there's a show in the
Commons, go, it's fun
and it's free.
Bebop is Back
Hazleton, PA- The Bert
Seager Jazz Quintet will
deliver a rousing, main
stream, modern bebop
performance in the Commons
building at the Penn State
Hazleton Campus on Tue.,
Oct. 3. The performance
gets started at 7:30 p.m.
The music of the Bert
Seager Jazz Quintet is
exciting and accessible.
The two-horn front line
format recalls the "blue
note" quintets of the
fifties and sixties.
Howeveer, the soloists
and the forms of the songs
they play keep the music
fresh and up-to-date. For
a jazz sound from a few
years back, with a fresh
and originial approach to
arrangements, the Seager
Jazz Quintet is hard to
match.

Remember that edgy
feeling you had the
night before the first
day of classes. Well,
here at Penn State
Hazleton we found the
perfect tension breaker
in coffeehouse comedian
Marty Bear.
Performing in the
dining hall, Marty
started off by making
some comments about the
"attractiveness" of the
fake plants hanging
around his head. Play
ing with an acoustic
guitar, he then sang
musical spoofs to the
tunes of American Pie
and My Ding-a-Ling.
Of course, who could
forget the brave men
who got on stage to do
their imitations of Elvis
and sang back-up to
Under the Boardwalk.
Everyone had a chance
to relieve some tension
tonight because of Marty
Bear.
