The Bobs offer fun and creative talent The Pacific University Per forming Arts Series will open its 2000-2001 season with The Bobs, an a capella quartet, on Saturday, October 21 at 7:30 p.m. in McCready Hall in the Taylor-Meade Performing Arts Center. The “Deliciously oddball voices” of the well-known quar tet, The Bobs, combine creativ ity with show-stopping talent for a performance that mixes theater, comedy and perform ance art. Having gained fans worldwide, The Bobs, made up of Amy Engelhardt, Joe Finetti, Richard Greene and Matthew Stull, have been nominated for a Grammy and appeared on network television, scored movies, produced commercials and participated as musical commentators on National Public Radio.

Call 429-9410 The change in the program comes after one-and-a-half years of extensive planning, along with submitting a rigor ous self-study in March. Pro gram Director of the School of Physical Therapy, Daiva Ba- naitis, said the move to the new program will keep Pacific’s School of Physical Therapy ahead of the curve. ‘The pro fession is moving to the doctor al degree", said Banaitis. “Our students will have the advan tage of being on the cutting edge.” The program will still take three years to complete, but students will not receive full summers off as they did under the master’s degree program. Pacific’s Physical Therapy program began in 1975 and of fered a baccalaureate level de gree at that time. That was changed to a master’s of sci ence in physical therapy in 1985. The program currently enrolls 108 students and is ranked nationally by U.S. A/ew and World Report for its excel lence.
