Presented by the JMU College of Arts and Letters Encore Series, the production consists of three works including George Balanchine's "Apollo," "Ancient Airs and Dances" choreographed by the Richmond Ballet's artistic director Stoner Winslett and set to Ottorino Respighi's composo- tion of the same title, as well as the work 'Terra," a piece by British choreographer Colin Conner. Balanchine's "Apollo" tells the story of a young god's exposure to three muses, each personifying various artistic elements, and follows him as he matures to perfection and prepares to join his father; Zeus, in Olympus. Balanchine, originally from the former USSR, came to the United States in the 1930s and was "widely known for taking elements of neo-classical ballet and twisting it," Christine Jones, the public relations and development manager of the Richmond Ballet, said. "'Apollo' cemented Balanchine's repu- tation as an innovator in the art and gave him the reputation of a mover and shaker. Balanchine is regarded as popularizing the art of ballet which was considered an European art form prior to his arrival," PHOTO COURTESY THE RICHMOND BALLET Jones said.

Ehlers and President Ronald Carrier were intent on changing that and immediately set out to find a coaching staff willing to face the enor- mous task of building a program basically from scratch. Locating someone who would take the job turned out to be an equally difficult problem. "You try to get the best coach that you think you can find," Ehlers says. "I was lucky. I offered the job to three others who turned it down before I offered it to Lou. At that time Lou was sort of an unknown." Lou Campanelli was an assistant coach at the University of Rhode Island who jumped at the opportunity to coach his own team. When Campanelli was hired, fellow URI assistant Mike Fratello followed him to the Valley to be the top man on his staff. "They definitely brought the 1970s northern world to the Shenandoah Valley," says Meyers, who is now coach of Harrisonburg High School's women's basketball team. "[Campanelli] pretty much set the tone to how things were going to be."

"I think [Black History Month] is a necessity, because if [black history) is not taught in school, then who's going to teach it?" Brown agrees that black history extends beyond what has happened in America and needs to be accounted for. "There is so much more to black history [than just American history] and that's why the month was created," she said. Black History Month gives all Americans a chance to explore the history of who we are and where we came from, both from a national and global perspective. In America, there seems to be a need for further cultural awareness when it comes to African-, Americans. Besides the month of February, there are 11 other months when this exercise of the mind can be cultivated. This is the message that some JMU students are trying to get across. One of the reasons that this month was designated as Black History Month was to honor African-Americans who have contributed to this society. Another reason Black History Month is celebrated in America is to recognize that black history is world history, and can be traced thousands, not hundreds of years back in time. Considering this, Fleming contends that we are all from the same roots.
