ll the right moves all dances called unique Fall semester dances can only be described as experimentally unique. At the Halloween dance, the unfin- ished construction of the Union made for very, very close quarters yet this did not stop the almost record turnout of friends. As costumes went cross- dressing was definitely in with the award for best female costume going to Pee-Wee Herman, and the winner of the best male costume went ro a high class prostitute. Most original costume went to Barry Youngblood as Prince. There was, of course, the usual band of bunnies, sailors, soldiers, and bums, but originality was the key to being cool at the dance. This year's dances were experi- mental and unique. But nowhere was this proven than at the Christmas dance. With the center of attention being a 12 foot video screen, this cer- tainly opened a whole new era of dances at Wesrarlf., Not only could dancers listen to their favorite tunes, they could for the first time watch the videos simultaneously. With one of the highest turnouts of Westark stu- dents the Christmas dance was to be one of the most successful in years. Barry Hawthorne literally picked up Libby Spruell, but then he dropped her. Nancy Williams loves moving to the beat. Activitiesf13

Joseph and the Amazing Technicol- or Dreamcoatf' Andrew Lloyd Web- bers musical version produced by the Barksdale Theater of Hanover, Va., was served up with unbound enthusi- asm by 22 most versatile players. The tale is told entirely by music- gentle solos, rambunctious company numbers and songs full of humor and 1411 Jemima tenderness. John Frenzer plays the unfortunate Joseph with Sandy Haynes as narrator, unique in that they with several of their fellow. troupers were in the original cast. Martha Bulau was impressed with the staging and scenery, They da so much in such a little space, l find it hard to believe only twen- ty people put on the whole show, commented Candy Giacopazzi, The story is told by narrator Sondee Hayes
