Kane Rain on Horizons dampens fun By GRACE LoMONACO Collegian Staff Writer Despite the weather and calendar changes that hampered attendence at this year's Horizons festival, coordinators of the event said they were pleased with the results. However, they said, certain changes will be needed in the future. Steering committee chairman Chris Kelly (senior computer science) said because the festival was changed from spring to fall the steering committee lacked student interest. Also, the festival should be scheduled at least two weeks later in the semester and only on a weekend because during the week, Kelly said, students are too busy with classes to participate. "The idea was good, but people were just getting settled," Kelly said. "There's nothing you can do about it." , On Friday, the tables set up• on the HUB lawn received a minimal turnout. "People were stopping by and going to classes which had a lot to do with it," said Horizons master of ceremonies Ron Gallop. "It was a shame because they had a lot of different things to offer." The Penn State Glee Club's performance was cancelled because a number of tenors had to attend classes at their scheduled performance time, Gallop said. The Dance Band attracted a large audience on Friday night.

Monday, Aug. 29, 198:1 people were on the HUB lawn. However, at the end of its show 150 people had gathered to listen, he said. Gallop said he blamed the poor turnout on the fact that the festival could not be effectively advertised to returning students. Saturday promised to have a better student popula tion on the HUB lawn, but the rain dampened the festive atmosphere. The bands Image and High Strung performed on the HUB lawn at their scheduled times before the rain, and the remainder of the bands had to be relocated in the HUB Ballroom. Kelly said the performance by Cartoon had to be cancelled because it began raining immediately before its performance and the Horizons committee had to set up the sound system in the HUB Ballroom. "Rather than being an hour behind schedule, we cancelled their performance," Kelly said. Also, the group scheduled to perform after Cartoon, Ohio . band Ronald Koal and the Trillionaires, was cancelled because it arrived at the University an hour late for the performance. Do'a, a duo from New Hampshire that plays 25 instruments, attracted a crowd of about 150, Kelly said, "It was a great show for those who attended," he said. After the performance by Do'a, an older crowd filled the HUB Ballroom to watch the Neil Simon play "The Good Doctor," which closed this year's Horizons, Kelly said.
