Body Challenge is back! j
And right in time for the win
ter break, I am excited about-
this week’s challenge-because
it involves something th at5
most people love, dancing.
That’s right, dancing! Who
cares what kind of dancing,
just start moving.
' I
Dance has m anybenúfijs^
including exercise for your
body and a good cardio work»?
out.
•‘Dancing works like a :
stress and tension reducer. For
people on a hectic schedule
it can become a passion that
helps you improve your atti
tude and increase your con
fidence in both social and
business situations. That’s
what makes dance the ideal
exercise! Dancing is a, mild,
aerobic workout, minus the
boring part,” says the Arthur
Murray Dance Studio at www.

“When you take dance les
sons, you make exercise a fan
and enjoyable social event,
every night o f the week. Your
dance ‘workout’ takes place
with pleasant music and every
one’s in a good mood. It’s
fan to leant and develop more
skill.”

Hopefully it can prevent
adding those extra holiday
pounds! Other benefits include
enjoying a night out with some
friends and good music. You
get to dress up and meet new
people. Being happy while
you exercise makes it go a lot
smoother and can give you
motivation to keep going. Jgg
Another great thing about
dancing is that it takes little to
no training, can be any style,
and to any
dance anytime, anywhere. You
could even dance to the music
in your head, but keep an eye
out for who’s watching. 9 H
Dancing is easy, and can
become a hobby if you took
lessons to learn the different
styles. Clackamas Community
offers dance classes for P.E.
credit, you- could check for
them when registering for your
next term.
A good way to use dance
as exercise would
Zumba, a workout routine that
is based on dance movements
and their physical fitness ben
efits.
There are many fitness
facilities or groups that offer
group Zumba sessions. You
could try checking your Com
munity for free Zumba clubs.'
Enjoy your holiday traditions
and don’t forget to exercise, it
could be fun!

The No. 5 Oregon Ducks (11-
1) continued its recent dominance
over in-state rival, No. 16 Oregon
State (8-3), winning the Civil War
for the fifth straight season with a
48-24 victory in the 116th edition
on Saturday afternoon at Reser
Stadium in Corvallis.
The victory put the Ducks
squarely back into the National
Championship picture for few
hours, but Notre Dame’s victory
over USC later in the day put a
damper on those hopes. Oregon is
No. 5 in the current BCS rankings
but with the Irish season finished
at 12-0 and the all but impossible
task of rising above the SEC
champion facing the Ducks, they
are going to be shut out of the
national championship picture
this season. Unfortunately, who
ever wins the SEC Championship
game, Alabama or Georgia, will
play Notre Dame for the BCS
title. Oregon will get the opportu
nity to play in a BCS bowl for the
fourth consecutive season. That is
no small feat, Duck fans.
Oregon turned a close game
into a rout with a few big plays
out of its explosive offense and
a couple of timely gifts from
the Beavers in the second half.
After the Beavers closed within
20-17 in the third quarter, the
Ducks answered with two touch
downs in less than two-minutes
as they pushed ahead convinc
ingly, 34-17.
The Beavers fell apart from
there, as turnovers piled up and
Oregon added two more scores
to push the lead to 48-17 with 10
minutes remaining. OSU quar
terback Sean Mannion threw
four interceptions on the day,
as Oregon’s talented secondary
made plays time and again.
Oregon throttled the Beavers
on the ground, racking up 250
yards by halftime on its way
to 430 yards on 64 carries for
the game. Kenjon Barner had
141 yards at halftime, as he,
De’Anthony Thomas and Marcus
Mariota all had first half rush
ing touchdowns. Mariota kept the
offense balanced in the first half
by completing passes to five dif
ferent receivers for 61 yards.
The Ducks held the Beavers to
67 yards rushing in the opening
half, but Mannion kept OSU close
by completing 12 o f 18 passes for
130 yards. The Beavers complet
ed a big fourth down play near
the end of the half before kicking
a field goal to close within 20-10
at halftime..
After die Beavers scored to
make it 20-17, it seemed like
we were going to be in for a
barnburner, but things unraveled
in a hurry for the Beavers. Two
fumbles oh special teams and an
interception by Mannion doomed
any chance of a comeback, as
Oregon scored 28 points in just
over 11 minutes to put the game
away.
Barner finished with 28 carries
for 198 yards and two touch
downs, while Thomas added
122 rushing yards and three
touchdowns. For good measure,
Mariota added 85 yards on eight
carries. It was such an explosive
performance that the Beavers
would have had trouble overcom
ing it, even without the turnovers.
Now the Ducks will prob
ably have to settle for the Fiesta
Bowl and Kansas State, instead
of playing for the coveted BCS
crystal ball against a hated SEC
foe for the second time in three
seasons. Take heart Duck nation,
as Oregon continues its rise, the
Ducks are the only team in the
nation to play in four, straight
BCS bowl games.
