Opening act chokes The mural on the first floor of Barlow Hall has mystified many a student. Jack Adams, former fine art and commercial art instructor, and also the person responsible for the creation said, “It’s up to the interpretation of the viewer.” . Adams became interested in Mexican and Italian muralists, their paintings inspired him to do one of his own. It just so happened that the wall he found to suit him was here on campus. Adams began to do the draw ings for the mural in 1973. He began the painting in 1975 and i finished in 1976. The idea began as a “concept oh ecology,” said Adams, “and man’s effect on the land and I what it could be.” Adams’ in ■ terpretation of the mural is that t Roth rocks; Church rolls over and dies by Mark Borrelli Staff Writer Fresh off his hit new album, “Skyscraper”, David Lee Roth brought his show to Portland in front of a wild and crazy crowd of about 13,000. Roth, with only his second album since his break up with Van Halen, is enjoying a lot of success with his new album and his hit single “Just Like Paradise.” He opened his Portland show with “Bottom line,” off of his new album, and played such selections as “Stand Up,” “Knucklebones, 99 “Hot Dog and a Shake,” and title track “Skyscraper,” in which he rapelled from the rafters of the coliseum to the stage. Roth also played off of his album “Crazy From the Heat. 99 After taking a short recess from about 2 hours and 15 minutes the stage, Roth appeared at the and Metal Church opening. other end of the coliseum, hang Church a band out of Seattle ing from the ceiling in a boxing stunned the crowd with what ring.

Taylor Assistant Opinions Editor________ . “I have always loved move ment and rhythm,” Terry Brock dance instructor here at Clackamas Community College said. Brock has had this love for the last 23 years when she started taking tap dance lessons at the age of seven. “As far back as I can remember I was asking for dance lessons, I used to watch bld dance movies and try to learn the steps from them. As soon as I was old enough I started taking lessons and have never stopped.” Brock is touring with the Jazz Tap Ensemble at the current time. This year’s tour is featur ing Harold Nicolas and Gregory Hines. Earlier this spring Brock had the opprotunity to dance in the Cappezio dance award ceremony in honor of Honey Coles. “It was a real honor for me,” Brock said, “I was one of three tap dancers who danced in honor of him.” Several famous dancers and choreographers were involved with the cer- mony, among those were Agnes Demille and Alvin Ailey well- known choreographers from New York City. The ceremony was broadcasted on Entertain ment Tonight and The Morning Siow, Brock appeared in both shows. “It was a great ex- perience dancing with all of the tap masters,” Brock com mented. One of the more interesting experieces which Brock had in New York was when she was getting ready to perform before her shows and she was stret ching out. While she was doing this The Copasetics, a well- known dance company who established themselves in honor of Bill Robinson a famous tap dancer, were drinking beer and playing poker. They were fre quently asking her to relax. They are in their 60’s. Brock also danced on Broad way for two weeks and was ask ed to perform in the production of “42nd Street” Brock declin ed the offer. “I performed all over the east coast. I just got done perform ing last weekend in Palm Spr ings in the New Bob Hope Theater,” Brock said. Brock was asked to dance in Gregory Hines lastest movie which is about tap dancing, but was not able to because she was on contract with her company in New York City. Brock will be offering tap dance classes starting fall term as well as her jazz classes. “I’m dedicated to teaching and living in the Northwest,” Brock said as the interview ended.
