Show 8 Signpost-Tuesday, May 8, 1984 Rising Star Program CAB Helps Residence Halls Develop Entertainment Series by Stephanie DeGraw Staff Reporter A comedian, musicianentertainer, and a hypnotist will all stop off at the Weber State residence halls this month. They're part of a new program the Residence Halls Association (RHA) and the College Activities Board (CAB) are experimenting with that is called Rising Star. "The main purpose of the Rising Star program is to get the people in the Halls together with the people on the main part of campus," explained Tim Border, a committee coordinator. Border felt that there is a "Dorm Dweller" sterotype among the commuters of the college. By getting the two groups together, the Residence Halls students and the commuter students will be able to increase the understanding among both groups. "The Halls have students with a variety of backgrounds and each one has a lot to offer Weber State," Border added.Although the first preformer, a comedian, has come and gone, there are still two more entertainers remaining on the agenda. Scott Jones is coming on Tuesday, May 8, at 8 p.m. to the Promontory Towers Cafeteria. Jones is a musicianentertainer and will per form free to the public. On May 14, Kevin Schaumleffle, a hypnoist, will preform in Promontory Towers at 8 p.m. Schaumleffle is well known for combining the entertainment of hypnosis with its educational aspect. He focuses mainly on helping people overcome self-destuctive behaviors. The idea for the Rising Star project orginally came from the twenty-five students that are enrolled in a Residence Assistance Preparation class. This upper division communications course is facilitated by Tony Weight, associate dean of students, and by Carol Brantmeier, Campus Life coordinator. Future plans for the Rising Star project include booking more entertainers or performers in the upcoming school year and increasing the number of students who attend. "This has been a testing period for the Rising Star activities," Border said. "We've already had a great turn-out at the first program. Everyone I've talked to is excited about the program." Border said that the program will be funded again by RHA and CAB. Border added, "It's great for people to discover there are a lot of positive things going on in the Halls. I think the students in the Halls are anxious to add to the overall experience of campus life, too."
