Comedians, Singers, Bands ENTERTAINMENT SCENE (continued from page 24) On the professional side, the university and several organizations brought in many enter¬ taining acts for the stu¬ dents. Steve Keller, a con- temporary Christian musician from Nashville, was one of the first music performers to come to O.N.U. in 1987. His visit was sponsored by the Christian Concert Com¬ mittee. This committee also sponsored an exciting concert by Petra, a lead¬ ing Christian rock group. Their songs from their new album, ‘This Means War”, attracted an audi¬ ence of about 3000. The campus was later visited by the U.S. Air Force Symphony Wind Ensemble and the Foot¬ path Dance Co., which mixed a style of jazz and ballet to reach a unique form of artistic expres¬ sion. The campus was also transported back by four decades to entertainment as it was then by the 1940 Radio Hour. In addition, all throughout the year, the White Bear Inn set the stage for many comedians such as Tom DeLuca sponsored by the Student Planning Committee. The biggest concert of the year wa s the 2nd An- nual Winter Concert which featured the Ro¬ mantics, a pop rock group which has kept crowds jumping since 1980. Their energy packed show promoted their new album “In Heat”, but also included their debut single, “What I Like About You and other successful hits like “Talking in Your Sleep” and “One in a Million.” No matter what the type or dimensions of the productions, students were provided with a vast array of cultural activities. This year provided an ex¬ ceptional amount of tal¬ ent which left students anticipating the coming year at Ohio Northern. 26 STUDENT LIFE
