Happy Leap Year Day from Yazz (David Roger) Allen '66 (Email me directly at YazzAllen@Yahoo.Com):

Here's my "Leap Year Day Statement" about the tragedy announced last week via AU BOT press release that Antioch's REALLY "final days" will come in June 2008! Just what the AU BOT guys and gals stated LAST June 2007...how about that? Some people NEVER change their minds or their ways, and the AU BOT folks are examples of note, and fame!

Hi from Yazz (David) Allen '92, son of geezer David Allen '66 (Email me at YazzAllen@Yahoo.Com):

Does ANYONE reading this have information about or (better yet) actual copies of ANTIOCH content movies OTHER THAN the two famous "Antioch Adventure Part One and Part Two" of 1967 and 1988 respectively.

OTHER movies about Antioch and made by Antiochians exist, and should be discussed and exchanged!

I've heard an "Antioch Adventure Part THREE" movie was made, but never learned more about that.

In 1963, my father, David Roger Allen '66, starred in an Antioch College student movie titled THE EASTER PARADE made by then Antioch College student film-maker of fame, Mike Mideke '66.

Hi from Yazz (David) Allen '66 (Email me at YazzAllen@Yahoo.Com):

There is definitely a physical difference in students who attended Antioch College in the 1960's and were filmed in the 1967 produced ANTIOCH ADVENTURE PART ONE movie, and students who attended

Hi from Yazz Allen ' 66 (contact YazzAllen@Yahoo.Com)!

If the Antioch College, Ohio residential undergrad program is closed down (as Antioch University Trustees announced in June 2007 would happen by July 2008), a group of adult ed non-residential schools bearing the name "Antioch University" will remain...and these schools may well increasingly provide "University Of Phoenix" type education, even though the "Antioch" name remains.

Here's information about the Unversity Of Phoenix, and why persons interested in Antioch College, Ohio, past and present, should consider the connection between the two educational "institutions."

Hello from Yazz (David Roger) Allen '66! (Email me at YazzAllen@Yahoo.Com)

Here's help for those who desire to form Antioch College "Antiochiana nostalgia/ alumni mutual support" groups which will last beyond the current (October 2007) Antioch College closedown threat crisis.

Hi From Yazz (David Roger) Allen '66 (YazzAllen@Yahoo.Com)!

Here's Antiochiana information about folk dancing which was widely popular at Antioch College, Ohio 40 years ago!

Antiochiana includes memorabilia about folk dancing in past decades at Antioch College, Ohio, popular from the 1950's through the 1970's (Antioch's so-called "Golden Age"). Oddly, very little information about folk dancing at Antioch College, Ohio, is available or part of the formal Antiochiana Collection presently located in the Kettering Library at Antioch in YSO.

Friday night folk dances in the ’60s at Antioch were by far the most popular single weekly social event on Antioch campus. People disagreed about a lot, but almost everyone liked folk dancing, and the weekly Red Square Folk Dances were attended by hundreds: advanced dancers, beginning dancers, and onlookers. We danced around the tree, which grew in the center of Red Square and was outfitted with floodlights and a single loud speaker.

Hi from Yazz (David Roger) Allen '66 (YazzAllen@Yahoo.Com)!

Here's an essay I wrote about "Underground Antiochiana," which means controversial (as opposed to socially acceptable and non-controversial) history about Antioch College, founded in 1852 by Horace Mann in Yellow Springs, Ohio, USA.....America's greatest college in history!

Some would disagree about that, but...read on!
