President involved in collision Close to 30 women and one man attended the first in a se ries of line dancing classes held in the Gregory Forum on Jan. 8. The class, sponsored by American Association of Women in Community Colleges: Focus On Women, was taught by Leslie Woods. She taught dances including “Swingin” and “Wild Wild West.” Woods started teaching line dancing at a women’s weekend retreat be cause she loved to dance. “It was just a lot of fun,” Woods said. “People thought I did a good job teaching and so I’ve been asked several times to do it.” Line dancing is not some thing Woods does for a living. Woods, a former fourth grade teacher, is now involved in a project to bring music to chil dren in hospitals. She teaches line dancing two or three times a year or when her friends ask her to. “It’s just a hobby,” Woods said. “It’s fun.” The room was filled to the point that the dividing wall had to be opened between rooms in order to increase space for danc ing. The atmosphere was ener File photo Photo by Karin Redston Dancers in the Gregory Forum participate in the first of three line dancing classes to be held on campus. gized and upbeat as everyone waited for the class to begin. Dancers included CCC fac ulty members and students, as well as people from the surround ing communities. Reasons for taking the class were varied. One group of women was taking the class to learn new dances. A few were taking the class so they could get in shape. However, the most popular rea son was that line dancing is fun. “I’m single now,” said a woman named Pam. “I don’t have a partner.” Judy Tibbles, another par ticipant in the class, is a tap dancer, “It’s part of expanding my knowledge of my own art form,” she said. The night turned out to be very successful and fun for the dancers. The attendance was beyond expectations. Two more classes are scheduled on Mondays Jan. 22 and 29 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Classes are being held in the Gregory Forum. Cost is $3 at the door and the class is open to everyone. rl&urins Tlwlarib Karin Redston Staff Writer CCC President John Keyser was shaken up when his vehicle and another collided at the cor ner of 14th and Washington on Friday, Jan. 5. Keyser was not injured in the accident and the driver of the sec-, ond vehicle received only a mi nor injury to the head. Keyser called her at home last Wednes day night. “That was the thing I was most concerned about was her injuries,” Keyser said. “She had ' a small laceration over her eye.” As Keyser was making a left turn from Washington St. onto 14th St., the vehicle in front of him obscured his view of the on coming car. Both drivers had no time to react before the impact. Both vehicles were totaled. “You can never be too care ful or alert when you are driving,” Keyser said. No decision about the Jeep has been determined yet. Insur ance estimates are still coming in on both vehicles. Amy K.
