Video to be made available

To the editor:

Regarding Adam Woodbury's sidebar story on students' reactions to the recent USML-2 crew visit:

The IMC does plan to make available a videotape containing highlights of the visit of the crew to WPI. It will contain parts of the 14-minute tape which the crew narrated live, a selection of slides that were shown, some candid moments involving the crew meeting members of the WPI community at the receptions, and the eight minute music video (titled "Sixteen Days") that was shown at the end of the Harrington presentation.

Speaking of which, I want to let everyone know that my inspiration for the editing of that piece came from three good friends of mine, members of the local band "Altar Ego", who wrote and performed their song "Black and White" for the making of the video. It was easy for me to put visuals to their music, and I want to thank them here publicly for their generous contribution; it just wouldn't have been the same without their music. Watch for them performing locally; "Black and White" is just one of the amazing pieces of original music they write and play (plug, plug!).

Contact the IMC or send us email (wpic@wpi.edu) if you're interested in being offered a copy of the tape when it is put together. Most likely, it will not be ready in time for the end of school, but we can either mail it to you somewhere or hold it for you until the fall.
