The Red Room opened a second time on Sat urday with a showing of only eight people. The fledgling dance club, lo cated in The Break in the EMU, drew 32 people at its grand opening Jan. 22. Graduate student Liz Churchill, the Break’s co-manager, got $4,000 from the EMU Board to open the club. She transformed the room, which formerly held a few Ping Pong tables and couches, into a full fledged dance club by adding cur tains, special lighting and a disco ball. The dance floor can pack 187 people and features live DJs. Churchill said the venue is impor tant because it provides a place for people under 21 to dance and hang out. Unlike other dancing venues in Eugene, the Red Room is drug- and alcohol-free. In fact, the only drinks in sight are sodas and bottled water, provided at no cost. “When I was younger, there wasn’t enough stuff going on,” Churchill said. “Part of The Break’s philosophy is to be a Diace for students ing. I can defend my country, but I can’t even go into a place where people are drinking.” Club manager Chris Jackson said he was disappointed by to come and be in a safe environment. ” Senior Lauren Chan, who co-manages The Break, said the club provides an atmos phere that’s safer than other venues. “It’s a drug-free at mosphere on campus, and it’s an option that’s closer to cam pus,” she said. THE RED ROOM What: All-ages dancing Where: The Break, on the bottom floor of the EMU When: 10 p.m.-2 a.m. Saturdays Music: Live DJs spin hip-hop and R&B Cost: $3 cover charge, UO ID required, free non-alcoholic drinks the club’s low turnout on Saturday, but attrib uted it to the club’s poor visibility. “Mainly the word’s just not out as much as we’d like it to be,” he said. “We’ve done some advertising, but people just don’t see it.” Jackson said the over all turnout may have been hindered by the Senior Marcus Kent, who showed up for the Red Room’s grand opening last Saturday, said Eugene lacks good dancing venues even for those ages 21 and over. “If I wasn’t here, I’d be sitting at Taylor’s waiting for people to get up and dance,” he said. Sophomore Ginny Lanier, who was also there for the opening, said DJ, who arrived an hour late. People who arrived before the DJ came left the club discouraged, he said. He said the club will remain open every Saturday night for the rest of the term, adding that it will have a live band within the next two weeks. moriahbaliiigit@dailyemerald. com ASUO: Community service to be group effort Continued from page 1 Petkun said. “That way we can also track if peo ple actually show up for the hours, whether it be for FOOD for Lane Coun ty or what have you,” he said. Strauss said the number of partici pants was factored into the require ment of 100 hours. If each of the 39 participants does an equal share, each person will perform about two hours and 36 minutes of community service. “The number of people was one of the things, I think, that was con sidered when coming up with that number, but I’m not sure what it was,” Strauss said. Petkun said group members aren’t required to do an equal amount of community service hours. “I think the hope would be that people all put in a solid effort to it,” he said. Strauss agreed. “That’s part of taking responsibility as a group is that this is a group num ber, and however it gets done it just needs to be accomplished,” he said. Retreat participants are also working on new retreat guidelines for all stu dent groups, including a quick refer ence guide, Strauss said. Ravassipour said the new guide lines will be presented on March 10 to the Programs Council, a body comprising representatives of stu dent groups on campus, so the council can ratify the rules. Petkun said the group is working from guidelines student leaders dis cussed last year. “Basically what’s going on between now and that date is we’re essentially dusting of those old records and going through them,” he said. parkerhowell @ dailyemerald. com Rabbi: Latz says some laws do not apply today Continued from page 1 wrote the laws in a different histori cal context. “There are still laws on the books that don’t apply today,” he said, noting that American secular laws often remain intact long after they are outdated. Latz added that “every generation has a part of the Torah revealed to it.” “I think the Torah that’s revealed to us is that we’re diverse,” he said. moriahbalingit@dailyememld.com Rabbi Michael Latz visited with members of the Oregon Hillel this weekend to promote tolerance of gays and lesbians within religious institutions.
