Taylor Staff Writer--------- ------- -------------------------- ' ' Jim Brooks, the man who brought us “Terms of Endear ment,” has brought us yet another movie. The theme is focused on life in a national network news sta tion. “Broadcast News,” starr ing Holly Hunter, Albert Brooks, and Wiliam Hurt, is a fairly realistic movie portraying life in news broadcasting. Holly Hunter plays a pro ducer who seems to know what everyone else should be doing and have solid control on others lives and their job, but does not know what she really wants out of her own life. Her character is funny, bossy, and always right, but know one seems to know where she is going or what she wants to know. Albert Brooks was the reporter who had the knowledge and skill to be a top notch reporter, but did not have the image or the charisma. His character was strong and well understood. William Hurt was the flashy' taught by Rickenbaugh by Michelle K. Taylor Staff Writer Religious dance originated in the middle ages, but was lost because of the strictness of the Catholic church. Now it is being re-discovered and Jane Ricken baugh, an instructor here at CCC, is helping re-create these dances. Rickenbaugh first became in terested in religious dance about ten years ago when she read about a dance entitled the Pelota. “A dance around a golden ball and in and around a labyrinth,” Rickenbaugh described. “I was intrigued by this dance.” she also said. She started reading up on it when she decided to write up a grant. She got in touch with John Hooley here at CCC and told him about her idea and he told her it was what they were looking for. After doing a lot of research and getting turned down once for the grant Rickenbaugh received a grant for the state of Oregon. Now Rickenbaugh is working with other historians to research and re-create these dances. Rickenbaugh has been an in structor at CCC since the col lege opened. That was when she first started dancing. After a few years she went to Reed Col lege and received a Masters degree. She has been teaching dance at this college since 1976. news reporter who had the good looks and the personality to be a network anchorman, but was really not too bright. His character carried the sad message of how looks, not in telligence get people what they want in the world. This movie was very funny in parts and really generated in terest within the audience. Un fortunately it did not have a real solid plot that held the movie together. The movie consisted of many little stories which were not held together well. It was confusing at times and hard to figure what path the story was taking. Even after the movie was over it was hard to unders tand what had happened. The ending was realistic and surprising, but a bit of a let down to the audience. If you have not seen this movie yet and want to, go ahead and see it, but you would be bet ter off saving your money and waiting until they have 99 cent special at your local discount theatre.
