Get into your medieval gear-the Boar's Head Dinner is Here!

On December 1, 1997, Laurier students and guests have the opportunity to attend the 47th annua! Boar's Head Dinner.

The traditional dinner will be held in the Theater Auditorium.. The cost is $17, $11 of which can be deducted from the student meal card, leaving students to pay only six dollars.

Students will get a traditional Christmas dinner, with all the trimmings.. Jugglers, magicians, and palm readers will venture through the auditorium before, and during the dinner and participants are encouraged to dress in medieval costume. Great door prizes are available to be won!

This year, a new feature will be added to the Boar's Head Dinner agenda. "Lord Capcot's Ball" a dance, will follow the dinner. Attendees are invited to stay after dinner to burn off exam stress and "turkey calories" by dancing all night long!

This dinner dance is a fantastic way to have fun with your friends before exams, and to share the joy of a Christmas dinner.

Students and staff are asked to extend this joy to the community by bringing canned goods or non-perishable food items to the dinner. Donations will be contributed to the Kitchener-Waterloo food bank.

Tickets are on sale from November 10-19 in the Centre Spot, Concourse and Hall of Fame. For more information, please call Andrea Tsui at 884-3407.

18 • November 19,1997 _..,£QEDENIERIfiMMEffi A sweet symphony GREG FERRIN v Cord Entertainment '\^i This past Saturday evening, the Theatre Auditorium was filled with the music of the WLU Symphony Orchestra. Under the direction of con- ductor Janez Govednik, they played a program consisting of the works of Claude Debussy, Ludwig van Beethoven, and Jean Sibelius. As the 8:00 p.m. downbeat drew nearer, people were still filing in, filling all of the cushioned seats in the back and many of the rows in the front as well. Finally all the instruments were up and the first piece was about to begin. The orchestra began the pro- gram with a beautiful impressionistic piece by Claude Debussy, "Prelude a l'apres midi d'un faune." From the silence of the auditorium, came a vel- vety flute solo in the lower register. It was truly beautiful, and it set the tone for the whole piece. The highlight of the piece was the harp gliding down the scales. The harp and bells were the key instruments in creating the dream-like feeling Debussy intended when setting the poem, "The Afternoon of a Faun," to music. For the next piece, the mood was changed completely with Beethoven's Symphony No. 1 in C Major. It is a very keating powerful symphony, as most of his are. The contrast in this piece was erin unbelievable, going from bright full sustained chords, to sixteenth-note PHOTO: runs and trills at incredible speeds.

[wanted to tell you, that

when something is colourful

it is

the dew dwelling on a rose petal above therainbow

birthed by the sun

sparkles of a waterfall

which is part of me, part ol you

and when these components blend

they create .

the sleek chill of ah icicles'torso
