ON CAMPUS: BI-CO ORCHESTRA, APRIL FITNESS MONTH, TAKE YOUR DAUGHTERS AND SONS TO WORK DAY

Bi-Co Orchestra to Perform. On Friday, April 15, at 8 p.m., the Haverford-Bryn Mawr Orchestra will help take the sting out of tax day with its annual spring concert in Roberts Hall, Marshall Auditorium on the Haverford campus.

Directed by Thomas Hong, the program will include: "Les Prelude" by Liszt, "Symphony No. 7" by Dvorak, "Rhapsody in Blue" by Gershwin with piano soloist Kate Chiappinelli, and "Deh Vieni" from "Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart, sung by Katy Gentry. The concert is free and open to the public. For additional information: (610) 896-1011 or nmerriam@haverford.edu.

April Fitness Month Takes Off. Staff and faculty members are flocking to the Tuesday-and-Thursday-afternoon walks offered by the Department of Athletics and Physical Education as part of April Fitness Month, says April Fitness coordinator Michelle Devan. Other offerings are popular, too: of 60 t-shirts offered to participants, only about 25 are left, Devan says. According to Devan, members of the Athletics staff are contemplating the addition of some new activities, including a facutly/staff/student softball game.

Track Coach Dan Talbot is hoping to add a running club to the month's events; he asks interested parties to send an e-mail to dtalbot@brynmawr.edu or phone him at x7306. Devan points out that the club might be a good way to train for the Race for the Cure, the annual fundraiser for breast-cancer research that is scheduled for May 8 in Philadelphia. To register for the race as a member of the Bryn Mawr team, contact Marty Mastascusa (x5266 or mmastasc@brynmawr.edu).

Next week's "Women Living Well" lecture will be delivered by Matt Brzycki, coordinator of Princeton University's Stephens Fitness Center and author of numerous books on weight training. The talk will take place in Thomas 110 on Wednesday, April 13, from noon to 1 p.m.
