By Joshua Glossner COLLEGIAN STAFF WRITER This week’s bold and beautiful fashion ista kept it warn and comfy while studying in the HUB-Robeson Center. Even though Manouska Jeantus (junior biobehavioral health) said she wasn’t fash ionable the day I spotted her, she still rocked her stylish attire. Jeantus wore clothes that allowed her to keep warm in the windy winter-like weath er we had last week. The shirt and jacket, both from Mandee's, were white and allowed Jeantus to accessorize any way she wanted to. Manouska Jeantus shows off her outfit. IOTAL COST. $9O Her leggings from Forever 21 looked like a more fashionable version of sweatpants, and Jeantus pulled the look off very well. The boots from Bare Fbot, 130 E. College Ave., made a statement that snow is just around the comer, and we all better pull out the winter attire. Her magenta American Eagle hat and the scarf from a vendor in Italy were the two standout pieces of her outfit. Both the hat and scarf can keep Jeantus warm as she traveled around campus plus the fact that her scarf is from Italy is pretty awesome in general.

Its efforts will be showcased in “Sing for the Cure” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Eisenhower Auditorium. “This concert is also about celebrating people in the audience and chorus who have survived cancer. I am one of the survivors,” said Janet Haner, a member of the choir and chorus manager for the society. “Sing for the Cure” is a single work com prised of 10 movements and an instrumental introduction, each of which was arranged by a different composer. Proceeds will go to two different organizations, with 70 percent of the profits going to Penn State’s Hershey Cancer Institute at the Mount Nittany Medical Center and 30 percent going to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation, Haner said. The Choral Society is able to donate all of the proceeds because locals have sponsored the event. For cancer survivors, cost of admission is free. About 130 members of the Choral Society will sing at the event, accompanied by a small instrumental ensemble. Two soloists from Essence of Joy, a gospel choir on Penn State's campus, were also cho sen to sing. Several Penn State students also chose to sing with the choir. "Think of it like a Relay for Life through singing,” said Matthew Dunkman (graduate physics), student representative for the Choral Society. "Through this concert we will be achieving the same goals, but in a choir setting." The songs are based on individuals' expe rience with cancer, especially breast cancer, Haner said.

Thomas Penkala, the general manager of the Choral Society, also discussed the poignant lyrics of “Sing for a Cure.” “This is a work where we need to read the text and get comfortable with it. because it's very difficult to sing when you hrir what you're saying,” said Penkala, who : ’lso a cancer survivor. "It's very moving am, m tional." The Choral Society hopes the audience will take away messages of hope, Shelley said. "We want the audience to come away with two things. The first is the encouraging mes sage that no one is alone. The second is that it's our responsibility to give for research, and to keep it in the forefront of people's mind,” Shelley said. “Very few of us have not been touched by this.” cure’
