-The Daily Collegian Wednesday, Oct. 22,’ 1986 sports briefs Gladman gets starting job PITTSBURGH (AP) Charles Gladman, a 1,000-yard back last year but a missing man in the University of Pittsburgh’s offense this season, has regained his starting job, Pitt Coach Mike Gottfried said yesterday. Gladman’s promotion doesn’t mean a demotion for former starting tailback Craig “Ironhead” Heyward because both Glad man and the 250-pound Heyward will often be on the field at the same time, Gottfried said. Pitt, 3-2-1, plays Navy, 3-3, at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Pitt Stadium. The Panthers had a week off after winning at Notre Dame 10-9 on Oct. 11. Gladman, often criticized by Gottfried for fumbling, has played little since gaining 140 yards in Pitt’s 13-13 tie at North Carolina State on Sept. 13. He has rushed for 278 yards in six games after gaining 1,032 yards as a sophomore. Hextall signs contract PHILADELPHIA (AP) Rookie Philadelphia Flyers goaltend er Ron Hextall has signed a multi-year contract with the NHL club, a team official safd yesterday. “Ron has given every indication so far that he is going to be a quality goaltender in this league for many years,” said Bob Clarke, team vice president. “With him, Bob Froese and Glenn Resch, we feel very confident about our goaltending for now and for the future.” Hextall, 6-3, 170 pounds, was named the American Hockey League rookie of the year in 1985 with a 30-19-12 record. His team, the Hershey Bears, reached the AHL finals. He was drafted by the Flyers in the sixth round in 1982. Equestrian team finishes strong The Penn State equestrian team got off to a slow start in competition last weekend, but finished strong in the end. The team competed in two shows, both at Eastwood Farms in Bellefonte. Penn State finished third in the first show, but came back to tie with Rutgers for the championship in the second. Karla McJilton and Karen Vargo grabbed second-place honors for Penn State in the first competition competing in the interme diate stockseat class. In the second show, Kim Brightbill placed first in intermediate stockseat, E.J. Nagle finished first in beginner stockseat and McJilton had a second-place finish. Matt Schnader rode to a first-place finish in the first show and a second-place finish in the second show as an alumni rider. Next weekend, the team travels to a competition at Lehigh University. Etc., etc., etc. John Luther, a 6-foot-2 sophomore guard from Rochester, Beaver County, and Scott Colombo, a 5-8 sophomore guard from Altoona, have made the University of Pittsburgh’s basketball team, Panther Coach Paul Evans announced. They were two of 12 walk-ons who reported to practice Oct. 15. Pittsburgh Penguins center Mario Lemieux, who scored eight goals and 17 points in helping the Penguins to a 6-0 start, Monday was named the NHL’s Player of the Week for the Oct. 9-19 period. | 231 E.

PUGH STREET, STATE COLLEGE, PA 16801 814/238-3104 arts spotlight Designer's creations express iifestyles By ADRIENNE LINDH Collegian Staff Writer On Beaver Avenue, there is a small shop called Something Old Something New; and just by open ing the door, you can leave State College behind. Suddenly your sur roundings have become a little old fashioned and very homey, but at the same time, modern and stylish. In the middle of the store stands “Susi,” a wire dress form that was used to custom-fit women’s attire many years ago. Now 83-year-old Susi is used to show off cotton materials for furniture. Behind her, there are rolls of brightly colored cloth and a modern sculpture of a woman’s body carved by a local artist. All this may seem bizarre until you learn that the shop is owned by an interior designer. Her name is Sherry E. Dershimer, and the di verse atmosphere of her store re flects her personality and tells us about herself. Dershimer was born in Virginia, near the Chesapeake Bay, where her family has been living since 1620. Most of her early years were spent on the Bay and in New York City, where she lived with her grandmothers. These two different atmospheres exposed her to oppos ing cultures and taught her to ap preciate the qualities of each one. Perhaps this appreciation sparked her interest in expressing these lifestyles in some way. Dershimer said that ever since she was 3 years old she has found it exciting to decorate homes. When she gave tea parties at her grand mother’s house, Dershimer re called, she used the good china to do an elaborate job of setting the table. She came to State College after marrying J. Stephen Dershimer. Together they took a survey in the Crystalline musicianship distinguishes quartet By BETH BRESTENSKY Collegian Arts Writer American universities could be called the melting pot for the younger generation, as students from many different cultures come together to learn. Exposure to every way of life, from Chinese to African, broadens the perspective of students and makes them more willing to accept traditions other than their own. It is in this light that the University will be able to provide a warm atmosphere for the Tokyo String Quartet, performing at 8 p.m. Saturday in Schwab Auditorium. Despite its record of excellence, the quartet has not always been well received. Audiences in New York and Japan have closed their ears to the ensemble’s crystalline musicianship because in 1981, the group added a new violinist who is not Japanese. Toronto-born Peter Oundjian was a surprising choice to fill the gap left by the quartet’s original first violinist, Koichiro Harada. Oundjian, 25, fits in physically with the group because of his small build and dark features; but he contrasts by being 10 years younger than the other members and the only bachelor in the group. He has never visited the Far East or spoken Japanese. The original ensemble was started by four Japanese students at the Toho Music Academy in Tokyo. While touring Japan in 1966, members of the Juilliard String Quartet heard the group and helped get them to the United States. Seventeen years later, the group moved its headquarters to New York. Up until the loss of Harada in 1981, the quartet has always been composed of Japanese performers. “When our original first violinist left,” said cellist Sadao Harada in an interview for Musical America, “we didn’t want to pick a replacement strictly on the basis of his being Japanese. We wanted someone who was compa tible. “In some ways it was a difficult decision to pick Peter. You don’t really have an audition when you select a new member of a quartet. You play together in almost a casual way. But you can kind of tell who it is going to be, Danger of improvisational comedy fuels troupe simply,” said Gelman, “the reason that you workshop, that you train is so that that doesn’t happen.

We enjoyed playing with him.” The quartet of Oundjian, Sadao Harada, Kikuei Ikeda, violinist, and Kazuhide Isomura, violist, seems to have accepted the merging of Eastern and Western cultures with the greatest of ease. As musical ensembles unconsciously resemble the cultural traits of their mem bers, the Tokyo Quartet was once characterized by a Japanese sense of reserve and formality and a tendency to play subtly. But the addition of Oundjian has added a Western quality of strength and vitality to the group’s playing. The members of the ensemble have claimed that Oundjian has relaxed the strict, note-perfect Japanese way of performing and allowed the group to express themselves more freely. The quartet’s impeccable music is created with four 17th-century instruments made by Niccolo Amati. Con structed over a period of 21 years, the two violins, viola and cello belong to the Corcoran Gallery of Washington, D.C. The gallery is not allowed to lend instruments directly to the musicians, so American University in Washington borrows the instruments from the Corcoran to lend to the group. Performing over 100 concerts annually, the ensemble has appeared in such series as Lincoln Center’s “Great Performers,” the Mostly Mozart Festival and Carnegie Hall’s “Great Quartets.” The group’s many recordings have earned three Gram my nominations, the Best Chamber Music Recording of the Year Award from Stereo Review and Gramophone and the Grand Prix du Disque du Montreux. Saturday’s performance, sponsored by the Penn State Artists Series, Center for the Performing Arts as part of its Schwab Concert Series, will include Wolfgang Am adeus Mozart’s Quartet No. 17 in Bb major or The Hunt and Dmitry Shostakovich’s Quartet No. 7. Quartet No. 13 in Bb major. Op.l3owith “G rosse Fuge," the Op. 133, the last composition of Ludwig von Beethoven, will conclude the show. Sherry Dershimer She claims that there are as many v different styles of interior designers as there are people. De signers express personal tastes through an interpretation of what they see. When an interior designer walks into an empty room “you bring something with you,” an emo tion or feeling, which hopefully turns an idea into the creation of a beautiful room. Dershimer takes her job as se riously as a doctor or nurse does. try to create not only something fun ny, but meaningful theater,” Gelman said. Tomorrow’s show will consist of both comedy routines that the compa ny has already orchestrated and im provisations based on audience suggestions. “The 18- to 23-year-old crowd have a lot of sex on their minds and a lot of sex in their suggestions,” Gelman contended. The routine part of the show will feature a political music medley. “We try to make social and political comments in a lot of what we do,” Gelman said. “To me comedy gets people’s attention. It makes them laugh, it makes them think, it gets to their minds and hearts.” It is the spontaneity of pure perfor mance, however, that keeps Chicago City Limits on its feet. “It’s danger ous and that’s the exhilaration of improv I think. Some of the best moments are when you’re doing a scene and it’s working out so beauti fully that even you can’t believe it’s improv.” “In order for us to be emotionally healthy,” she said, “we have to surround ourselves with comfort able things.” To make clients feel at ease in their new surroundings, the interior designer gets to know their peculia rities. To redesign the room, the designer tailors it to the customers’ needs. Dershimer does this by spending some social hours with her customers. By becoming friends with them, she gets a better feeling for their expectations. She finds this time “enriching” because she learns so much about people. For example, Dershimer found it thrilling to work on the home of Isobelle Harm, one of her older customers. The designer was able to take Harm’s lifetime of experiences and incorporate it into the final environment. In.apprecia tion of Dershimer’s dedication, Harm not only paid in cash but in love as well, by frequently visiting the designer and bringing her home grown tomatoes. Dershimer’s advice to the stu dents of the University is to spend some time away from the campus, especially in town. "There is an education down here too,” she said. After being president of the Down town Business Association in 1980, she knows that shopkeepers can educate young people through their own experiences. Students should be aware of their surroundings so they can gain a better understanding of what will be important to them later in life, Dersheimer added. She sees early adulthood as the beginning of an eventful life, and she is willing to take the time to help students build their futures. “There is a lot more going on at Something Old Something New than interior design,” Dershimer said. She likes to call the store a “clear ing house for good people.” k v v*.-> H- I ,C £■***.;> - ♦* ) V '-4;;-'**' fc J ’“ Vy-iVy'**.» v> , i- '' re fr/ r '•* * -'• The Feelles (left to right: Dave Weckerman, Bill Million, Glenn Mercer, Stan Demeski and Brenda Sauter) don’t appear on this week’s WPSU Top 20 survey, but they can be seen in concert at 8 p.m. on Friday in the HUB Ballroom.
