second-place honors.
Shoals maintains strong ties to
Three-Fifths Compromise, a band
formed during his years at Grant
High School and named for the pre-
Civil W ar legislation that counted
slaves as only three-fifths o f a per
son. The object being to diffuse the
term o f its formerly negative con
notation.
Shoals said the band’s fusion of
jazz, rock and funk is uppermost in
his mind right now. It’s a style that
serves him wherever he takes his
music - even to Botswana, where he

Portland, at W hitman or in his

Botswana, each address resonates
with his music.
At Whitman, Shoals has partici
pated in the Whitman Col lege Cho
rale, the Testostertones and Jazz
Ensemble I, as well as various smaller
combos broken off from the larger
jazz band.
He won top honors as O ut

The study abroad was an eye- covert in both countries. O f course

The racial issues in Botswana music, poetry, leadership, or aca-

I made the decision to leave a four
year relationship. My boyfriend
cheated, lied to me and had other
w om en most o f the tim e we were
together. Now that I’m gone, I
m iss the material things and the
easy life I had in exchange for the
m istreatm ent. I want to go back
for the sake o f having the good
life but do n ’t know if I can keep
from loving him again. W hat
should I do? -J o a n n e Sm yte;

Dear Joanne:
O bviously your self-esteem and
self-w orth is on the ground with
your face. Relieve yourself o f this
gutter relationship and look at it
for the dirt that it is. You
deserve better and unless
y o u ’re a gold digger, you
can get a job, pay your
own bills and provide for
yourself. T rust me, if he
treated you like a dog for
this long, h e’ll continue to
do so. If you left the rela
tionship safely go ahead
and stay aw ay keep it
moving.

You sound like a good
little church boy who lost
his Bible. You get balance
by praying and seeking a
wife so that you w o n ’t be
sacrificing your soul in the
name o f lust. This dem on
has over pow ered you.
Repent, and seek open and
honest counseling from
your pastor. It’s im portant
that you regain spiritual
control because the burn
ing o f your loins w ill be
nothing com pared to the
eternal sizzle from the lake
o f fire if you do n ’t get it
together.
