Learn to boogie in
three-quarter time
Students and staff members who wouldlike
to brush up on their ballroom dancing in time
for the Big Band Ball will have an opportunity
to do so at the 40's Dance Workshop to be
held at the College.
The workshops, to be taught by Debbie
Baker, student activities counselor, and Bob
Lilly, English instructor, will feature brief
introductions to such dances as the two-step,
waltz, cha cha and maybe the samba or
tango.
"We can't cover everything in two hours,"
Baker said, "all we want to do is make people
feel a little more comfortable on the dance
floor."
The Community Center mall will be the
scene for the workshops which will be held
Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 3 p.m. and Thursday,
Nov. 17 at 2 p.m.
"Anyone who would like a review or to
help instruct is welcome to attend," Baker
said.
For more information call Baker at
656-2631, ext. 340.
Coffeehouse
features singer
Vocalist Diane Adams will be performing
at Associated Student Government's evening
coffeehouse from 8 to 11 p.m., on Friday,
Nov. 18.
Adams' singing career started as a hobby.
After finding the courage to sing in public,
she started her professional career about eight
years ago in Boston coffeehouses. Six months
later, she moved to Oregon and has played
at the University of Oregon, John's Meat
Market and the concert stage at the Para
mount.
Accompanying herself on guitar, Adams
sings her own songs along with material from
such artists as Dan Fogel berg, Janice Ian,
Jacques Brel, Bonnie Raite and Jackson
Browne.
"I express myself through the music I
sing. I tend to play songs that have some
thing to say," Adams said. "I have an intense
need to communicate. Music, to me, is the
most satisfying way of artistic expression.
Songs crystalize ideas and I get great joy from
something stated beautifully and concisely."
There are no admission charges for coffee
houses, and students are encouraged to bring
their families.

"You Light Up My Life," a love
story, is a movie playing throughout
the Portland area. It's a good drama
laced with comedy.
Didi Conn makes her debut in the
leading role as a simple and charming
songwriter, singer and unwilling actress.
Didi's first love is her music, but
her father, played by Joe Silver, is an
old vaudeville actor who wants her to
follow in his footsteps. It's a beauti
ful story full of a lady's love for music
and the people around her. She gives
one up because there's not room for
both in her life.
Conn is an excellent actress and the
cast does an outstanding job in their
supportive roles.
