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.

Thought.
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

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

at rapping freely and working

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

Another fun game was
"Change." As they acted out a
pirate scene, Annie Hudak could
say change if she wasn't happy

was hilarious when James

There was even a dating

go see it two nights in a row and
it will be a completely different

Jelev, a senior who hails from
