Tlie production was all modern dance and was left lo the audience’s inicrpretaiion. I'he daiice.s are not designed with one tlieme dial the viewer sliould grasp, but the audience should simply get out of it what they take from it. The first dance was entitled “Proximities” and was choreographed by Ahson Colwell- Wabet- The dancers walked and danced briskly across tlie stage, at times stopping to look at tlieir watches and continuing at their rapid pace. The dance was to convey that we live in a fast- paced world and bow many limes we are so caught up in it that we never see other people. The dance was performed by Kendra Edge, Natalie Ford. Cliiista Furman, Mandi Jones, Mary Long. Emily Stone, Allison Waddell, and Stephanie WalT. The second dance was a solo by Christa Furman that sdiealsochoreographed.The dance was called "Standing on Tiptoe aJid Lifting a Barbell." The next dance was also a solo called "One of Twelve Steps. “ choreographed and perfomied by Kendra Edge. Her costume con sisted of black panis and suspenders and a red shin and the dance was her interpretation of one of the twelve steps in a twelve step pro gram. Tlie moves she used in the performance were those which she interpreted from people she had seen in these types of situations. Tlje last dance before intermission was entitled ‘‘Bouncing Back" and was performed by Miclielle IXmachy, Kendra Edge, Christa Furman. Holly Hester, Mary Long, Courtney Moss, Misiy .Squires, Allison Waddell, and Mitria Walsli-Laudati- This dance was a fun pieceiimsic from Duke Ellington andchoreog- raphy from David Beadle of the Meredith fac ulty. This dance had a loi of movement and humor in it as the dancers jumped off of one another and paraded around the stage. After intermission, the first dance was eii- tilled “My Sister’s Keeper, ' which was created by Niki Wilson with the help of the rest of the dancers after they watched the “Eyes on the F^ze” civil rights footage and interpreted the movements into dance. The dance was origi nally perfonned at Wednesday’s Civil Rights Convocation and was adapted to fit the Dance Works show. “With a Casual Air” was clioreographed and performed by Emily Stone. “The Hardening, “ choreographed and perfonned by Kendra Edge and Allison Waddell, used the music of Bach. TTietwo dancers worked together this past sum mer in the American Dance Festival and used many aspects of a class they took about weight sharing and counterbalancing locreatethisdancc, in which they used each other’s suengtlis to help them perform.

O’Briiini said. “Ilow- ever, our depanmenl only deals wiih pmhlems in the residence halls,” In eiirly November, the Hemlil reported that Residence Life h;id added halogen lamps to their list of fire uide violations, as requested by (he Raleigh fire nuirshall. Since then, iwo fires have occurred at nearby scltools, including ai State’s Bragaw dorm, presumably caused by halogen lamps. The problem is that the lamps get too hot and can cause fire. TheConsmner Product Safety Commission has received reports of some 30 fires involving the lamps, according to (he 1 ler- ald. And while Meredith’sresidencestaffhanded out slifl" penahies to students who didn’t gel Iheir halogen lamps out quickly enough, the olTice.s of college staff were not checked.
