The intricate steps were danced with vibrance and grace. For the men, especially, the dances were strenuous, involving high leaps and fancy kicks. Performing at a variety of places, including the Northbrook Home, the club gave off a feeling of excitement and was often asked for re- turn performances. Their style verged on professionalism as many members of the group had been dancing for as long as 12 years, Taking lessons or learning at home, everyone practiced to the point of near perfection. Comprised of members from area high schools as well as from the college, the group's theme centered on their heritage. One of their activities during the summer included a two-day festival The club helped set up, cook, and dec- orate for the event. Taking place in Auburn's Casey Park, many New York Ukrainian groups gathered for the oc- casion. They enjoyed two fun days in the sun meeting many different people and playing energetic games of soccer and volleyball. In addition, a band came from Canada to play colorful Ukrainian music, and the event was, overall, a popular success. So, art, defined as a pleasing and meaningful arrangements of elements, came to the college. Filling our senses with a variety of sights, sounds, smells, and shapes were the crafts of the Art and Ukrainian Clubs. Through their dances, courses, and displays, they gave non-members a new glimpse of culture and heritage. ArtlUkrainian Clubs 43

- f the Art Guild gets its way, Cayuga C3 students may have to knock before walking in- to the art room. Hoping to add an authentic flavor to the new mini-course, Figure Drawing, the club asked to hire professional models who would pose nude. At first it looked like their re- quest would be granted, but an admin- istrative disagreement slowed down the final decision. Although similar courses are offered in colleges and un- iversities all over the country, some ad- PERFORMING A NATIVE UKRAINIAN DANCE at Auburn High School are Nancy Pesarchick, Debbie Walawender, Dorothy Walawender, Denise Baim, Luba Drochak, and Nancy Fallet. ininistrators felt that our community wasn't ready to accept this type of course as art. It was suggested that models wear bathing suits, leaving the unseen anatomy to each artist's imagi- nation. The Guild, however, felt this would defeat the whole purpose of the course and continued their campaign with articles and polls. The controversy went on, but no decision was reached, and the uncertainty lasted into the sec- ond semester. Between their attempts to get nude models for the school, the Art Guild became involved in other projects. Most obvious to the student body was the display set up in the foyer of the library. With the work of talented student artists displayed on large l table partitions, the library becarr visually stimulating. The club also took a field trip ' Wettlaufers' well-known potters ii nearby Skaneateles.

Drink-chug-a-lug, Drink-chug-a lug. Another beer blast was held at C4's cafeteria, December 4, 1977. The admission of S2 Cplus IDD provided all the beer you wanted to drink, and it was sponsored by the Business Club. The turnout was small, but the music was good, ranging from Elvis Presley to the Beatles, along with some disco and a few slow tunes. In addition to the dancing, people got together to talk, tell jokes, and generally just to have a good time. Early in the evening, a contest was held to see what party could have the highest stack of glasses. The only way to get the glasses was to drink the beer, which resulted in the consumption of a lot of alcohol. The record winners had 21 glasses. Something exciting happened later at the beer blast party: in the cafeteria, around 12:15 a.m., there was a beer chugging contest which about six or seven college students entered. The contest had beer bubbling down the student's chins and running over the table, chairs, and onto the floor. With each person paying a dollar, the win- ner stumbled away with half of the total entry fee. The beer blast was to have started at 9:00 p.m. and continue 'til 1 :00 a.m. However, it didn't start until around 10:00 p.m.g but in those three hours everyone still managed to get pretty well snockered. 44 Business!
