By Jaiiet Jones staff writer GWU's Student Entertainment Association (SEA) has been providing GWU students with a variety of entertainment activities and events for years. However this year, Scott Elliot, SEA chair, hopes to have one of the best years yet. One of SEA’s new activities for this year is showing movies on Web-Net (channel 47 on campus cable). This has proven to be a big success since many college students are on a limited budget. Other SEA events that will take place in the near future include an '80's theme dance on September 16, and an outdoor movie, "The Brady Bunch" on September 26. One of SEA's biggest planned events is the arrival of the musical group Benjamin on September 23. Benjamin, named after lead singer, Benjamin Gaither (son of Bill & Gloria Gaither) has a unique focal point for their listeners. Their mission is to build a bridge with the youth of today. They also seek to encourage youth of all ages to make a "radical commitment to Christ" and "to go wherever His message takes us." Benjamin is a unique blend of pop and rock music with a spiritual message. They feel that tliey have aspecial word to say to people whohave grown up in church but are struggling to experience a real relationship with Qirist. Anyone interested in volunteering to help with any SEA activity or entering a float in this year’s homecoming parade, may do so by contacting Scott Elliot at the SEA office i n the Dover Campus Center at ext. 4742. is a disciple?
