DRAMA returned to Hal- ifax in June to record its first EP.

Produced and engineered by Vancouver’s Rolf Henneman (who has worked with such artists as Heart, Chilliwack, Al Stew- art, Randy Meisner, John Baldry and Veronique Bel- liveau), the sessions were mixed at Mushroom Stu- dios over the Summer. Af- ter a few weeks playing at home, DRAMA returned to Quebec and to work on packaging for the bum. The group recently completed photo

al-

sessions

for the EP and promo- |

tional material with top Montreal fashion photog- rapher Stephane Dumais. The self-titled debut EP is expected to be in record stores throughout Atlantic

Vaughan hopes other universities will pick up the idea, and

compete in a “Generosity

per Capita” contest. She co-chairs a Canadian Feder- ation of Students Commis- sion which is seeking ways to involve students in the awareness-raising week.

MUN’s theme will re- late to the future, Vaughan said, and she’s looking for

a rocketship design for the bank.

“We thought we should get involved in the ’invest- ing in our own future’ con- cept,” said Vaughan.

No other universities have, as yet, re- sponded to the challenge, according to Mary Eliza- beth Archer, MUN’s co- ordinator for National Uni- versities Week activities. «=
