In College Decision A crowd of 400 hushed as the LIIS gradually dimmed. Last wute whispers could be heard. en all was quiet. 'A mari in a tuxedo ,entered m the side doors, and the lwd burst into applause as Mr. lip Simon prepared to direct r wind ensemble in American erture, the opening number the band program's first tcert of the year. ,After two and one half inths of preparation, the 'trumental groups gave one of a best performances ever ivember 21 in the lti-purpose room. Following American rture, the String Ensemble, ted by Miss Janet Agnew, formed three numbers. The t was Suite for String rtet No. 2 84 4, followed by 'aces and Allegro. The ensemble includes the llowing: Farideh Farhoudi, m Foster, Shira Rubinstein, bra Slater, Melissa Smith and l1etTwiford. The Wind Ensemble then wcluded the first half of the Jgram with O Cool is the lley, El Conquistadoi and horale and AlIeluia. There was a ten minute break ring which the concert band ias marching bandl tuned and epared to open the second half the program. They then performed two Eces: The Nutmeggers and he Thunderer. They had xrked only two weeks on these es, because they had been SY working on marching pieces for football half-times. Despite the short time of practice, they did quite well. Stageband was next with four jazz, rock and swing numbers. They were Hard Sock Dance, Do'in Basie's Thing, Free Spirit and Temptation. Temptation was arranged for the group by one of the trumpet players, Rick Sonntag. The Wind Ensemble concluded the concert with higtlights from Fiddler on the Roof and Music for Winds and Percussion. Both were a hit with the audience. When asked what he thougit of the concert, Mr. Simon replied, For the first concert of the year, l was very pleased. consensus of the T h e audience's opinions was that this concert was one of the best fall concerts ever presented by the instrumental department. by Kathy McLeod Have you ever been to a fair where there were no clowns, no cotton candy, no rides? On December 10 and 11, the National Association of College Admissions Counselors lNACAl sponsored the National College Fair, a service free to the public, at the Sheraton Park Hotel on 2660 Woodley Road in Washington, D. C. Held in what seemed to be the basement of a hotel, were booths holding information from 350 schools. Information concerning tuition, size, principle majors, student population, and financial aid were included in the program. Because it is a national college fair, schools like Kalamazoo College, Oglethorpe University, University of Maryland and Cornell College had representatives to answer questions or. the importance of the SAT and ACT test scores. The fair was quite crowded when 4 busloads of Friendly students arrived. After filling in the registration cards, most of the kids went on to fight their way downstairs, to the exhibition hall. Once in the hall, people then proceeded to the booth of the college of their choice, asking questions about courses, location, over-all-costs, lthe usual stuffl. Then they wander about with friends or alone, stopping to check out various schools that had interesting or unusual names like the Transylvania University. Most of the representatives were directors of admissions and they could tell you more about the requirements better than anyone else. The others were either present students or graduates. The excursion wore out a lot of students, several of which slept on the buses on the way home. Deciding on where you're going to isn't all that easy. You have to choose between colleges, universities, junior colleges, vocational, technical, private, public, urban, or rural school. There is talk of another college fair in the planning for next April, if so, sign up for it. When it's done you'Il be tired, but you will have put yourself one step closer to the big college decision. Transylvania University has a great program if you plan to major in Art, Biology and Business Administration. Who knows what goes on Behind Cloaedboors 29
