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
stan d in g D rum S o lo ist at the

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

Botswana’s best known jazz band- tion or venue, Shoals is certain to
make his voice heard whether in

The racial issues in Botswana music, poetry, leadership, or aca-
have similarities to those found in demic achievements. He will march

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.
