Volume 58 Issue 13 Smith Hall hosts blood drive Hff ®mJG| *'% Nick Malawskey Staff Reporter Once again the adoption of another dance club's constitution sparked heated debate amongst members of the Student Cooperative Council at their meeting on Wednesday evening. At thc center of the debate was the issue of numbers. With the addition of the Dance Consort to the roster of recognized and funded SCC clubs, the number of dance clubs has risen to eight. Some senators and advisors of the Senate questioned the necessity of eight dance clubs. "I don't believe this one is wrong, I don't believe the others are wrong, it's the principle of the matter that bothers me," said SCC Advisor Alan Palmer. The reason so many clubs are necessary, according to club representatives and defenders of thc clubs, is that each club has its own unique style and personality. "Each group is different and we need to respect that," said SCC President Rick Harvey. "If you have 15 people looking to set up a club, who are we to say they can't do it, when it's their student fees?" Senator Del Sellers asked why the clubs couldn't work together and asked the representative of the Dance Consort if her organization had tried to work with thc existing dance clubs. "If we're going to fund these clubs, we should see ifthey have made the attempt to work together," said Sellers. The Dance Consort's representative replied that she had only been aware of two other dance clubs. She also had problems explaining just how her club was different from the others. Treasurer Eddie Dove and President Rick Harvey defended the club, though, saying, "They appear more professional than the other clubs, and they do different styles than the other clubs." The Dance Consort's constitution was eventually passed with four senators voting against it, and three abstaining from the vote. Also, the SCC said goodbye two to of its long-term members on Wednesday when Renee Doddy announced that she would be resigning from the position of HAC Coordinator for personal reasons and Jason Fitzgerald announced that due to term limits he would be unable to serve as the Speaker of the Senate in the spring. "It's been great working with you guys and it's been a lot of fun," said Doddy. The next meeting of the Student Cooperative Council will be held on January 28, 2004 at 7:30pm in the PUB Meeting Room #2.

Thursday's goal was 75 pints, so Olshefskie hoped that over 100 people would register. She says that deferrals are the most prominent problem affecting blood supply. "It's been lower than it should be for the past three or the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it's hard to find time to donate." Wendy Walsh, resident director of Campus Village, said more accidents happen during thc holidays, which is why it is especially important for enough blood to be on supply now. Signs around campus helped notify students of the need for donations. Santa also stood out- people to donate, Students who were unable to donate in October had another chance to give blood on Thursday. Olshefskic explained that high or low blood pressure and poor iron counts are thc two main reasons that people are unable to donate.

Students who have never experienced a freestyle music group were enlightened by the rhythmic beats and constant improv dialogue of Open Thought. Freestyle is a unique form of music incorporating instruments such as the bass, turntables, and buckets as drums. Everything that occurs on stage is improvised The words, the At one point in the show, Baba asked the students there who had been out of the country. Although some of the audience had traveled to exotic places, no one had been to Australia. Baba invited everyone on a journey there by pulling out his didgerydo, an ancient Australian instrument, and playing some absolutely unique and awesome sounds and rhythms. The audience really could feel the pulsating beats from the group as they came up on stage and took a stab at rapping freely and working with Open Thought. Students sang and put their talents out there. An important part of freestyle is setting an atmosphere in which everyone is comfortable and there is no feeling of restrictions. DJ Center said, "The performance is based on what goes on in the room." Baba said that what he liked most about freestyle was, "The freedom. It's the ability to create in the moment." DJ Center commented on the spontaneity of freestyle. He improvised their instrumental said, "You never know what's song. The audience is what makes the experience awesome. Baba on your toes. It never becomes going to happen. You're always boring." I the rhythm all together as the performs. The on-the-spot ping was done by E who spouted off a chain of words on topic offered to him the audience or whi he thought of himself Amazingly, he relatec each phrase to the one preceding it, and rhymed complicated dialect easily, as well as created a beat that kept the audience's heads bobbing to the music. Yako played the bass, bucket drums, and offered his back up rhythms on the microphone, and Dl Center mastered the digital CD turntables as Baba rapped, meshed together with ease and flowed from one tempo and sound into another. The group The group has „. by having them shout out topics for him to rap to. Then, he split the audience in half and desie- nated a line to each group. As the song was created, Baba cued in the audience to sing their line. Before long, the audience could feel the beat and designate just when they needed to come in. The students really appreciated the freestyle technique. In the back of the PUB, people danced to the beats. Students album one out together and is releasing a new single today. They have toured I at multiple colleges and universities, through i the Midwestern and Northeastern parts of the United States as well as California, Japan, and parts of Europe. rheir next big tour will be in Australia. They will be participating in Big Day Out, a huge Australian festival featuring a multitude of bands. Among the bands they will be playing amongst are Black Eyed Peas and Metallica.

Sometimes the actors until someone took too long to don't even know what's going to said something that respond, happen next because most of the was already said, or said what they were actually doing. Some of the responses were very unique, especially when a girl said she was getting a gynecologist exam and a guy had to act it out. However, he chickened out. Another fun game was "Change." As they acted out a pirate scene, Annie Hudak could say change if she wasn't happy with a line and they would have to say something different. It was hilarious when James Reagan walked in as a parrot, or I guess I should say that he flew in. There was even a dating game in which each contestant either spoke in slogans, acted like a suicidal lunch lady, or thought his neighbor was a scratch and sniff sticker. The best part about going to an improv show is that you can go see it two nights in a row and it will be a completely different show each time.
