Two of the knights, Dan Johnson and Alex Hamberger performed in the footlighters production of "Chicago" this weekend, with Josh Lostroh helping out on the crew. The musical was very popular and every performance had a packed audience. Groups of knights came out to every performance to watch Dan and Alex sing, dance and act and support them. The production was greatly enjoyed by everyone.
This past weekend Brother John Horton appeared in Jean-Paul Sartre's "No Exit," a well-known French play about hell and was directed by current Sigma Nu candidate Gabe Geschke. The show had a great turnout, resorting to having the directors stand in the back due to lack of seating on the Saturday performance. The show is going to be reviewed in the next edition of the Observer, so keep your eyes peeled for upcoming critical praise for your fellow brother.
Case Hockey played their last home game of the season this past Friday against Community College of Allegheny County. A host of brothers showed up, rowdy as always, to see brother Pat Sullivan in his last game on home ice and (injured) brother Jeff Greenstein assume coaching duties. The result of the bout was a 5-3 loss, but brothers stayed afterwards for a free skate put on by the team and certainly had a good time.
Case Hockey earns a spot at College Hockey East Playoffs in Pittsburgh, PA next weekend.
Brothers John Blasko and Andrew Boron presented a joint senior recital in Harkness Chapel on November 4, 2007.

The recital featured works ranging from contemporary works to early classical compositions and concluded by an arrangement of the Quincy Jones song “Street Beater,” also known as the theme of the TV show, Sanford and Son, for trombone quartet and percussion. Brothers Blasko and Boron would like to thank the chapter for its strong show of support at this event!
