The final preparations for to
night’s Young Choreographer's
Series began last weekend, and
many of the choreographers were
still making changes at Sunday’s
technical rehearsal, which was
the first chance they had to coor
dinate the lights, music and
dancing.
Sunday's rehearsal was a
hectic affair — people were
warming up, practicing, studying
and making last minute prepara
tions. A woman dressed in black,
and a man wearing pajamas were
practicing on stage, stopping oc
casionally to describe to the stage
manager the look they wanted
their piece to have.
After about 20 minutes the
dancers were ready and per
formed their dance, in which they
spastically moved their bodies
and marched to industrial music.
Ten pieces by student choreo
graphers are showcased in the
Young Choreographer’s Series, a
bi-annual event with perfor
mances in the fall and spring.
The YCS is an opportunity for
dancer8 and non-dancers to pro
duce and perform works in front
of an audience.
Members of the dance depart
ment faculty offer their advice on
how the pieces may be improved,
but YCS president Dixie Mills
said the artists have complete
creative control over their work.
There is much diversity in this
year’s performances. The pieces
are from different genres in
cluding jazz, modern and one
j>iece described as a “psychedelic
One of the most unusual pieces
in the performance is Dixie Mills’
“Baked, Fried, or Couched,”
which is a structured improvisa
tion about “couch potatoes.”
Dance majors are required to
Melanie Marlowe: A se
nior dance major
choreograph and perform an orig
inal number, and this year’s per
formance will include senior
pieces by Amy Carter and Lisa
Fowler.
The YCS is open to all majors,
and participants can receive ei
ther one basic physical education
credit or one elective credit.
The Young Choreographer’s
Series premieres tonight at 8
m. in Studio Theatre 272 of the
hysical Education building.
Tickets are $3.

Make A Living In The Music Busi
ness" and the man responsible for
arranging and conducting Kenny
Rogers’ live shows. During his 17
years as a professional musician,
Struble toured the U.S. in a
rhythm-and-blues band, was the-
music director for many TV spe
cials and ran his own publishing
company and record label.
Struble said it is extremely diffi
cult to become a mt\jor music su
perstar, although a lot of people set
their goals that high. He em
phasized the fact that most strug
gling artists never reach that level
and that there are countless other
jobs in the business in which one
can “make a darn good living."
Producers, managers, accoun
tants, booking agents, technical
crews and promoters all play an in
tegral part in music-making,
Struble said. His advice to those
with unshakable superstar aspi
rations is to “go out every night
and beat your brains out playing
night clubs” because then you’re
certain to improve and, with luck,
eventually get noticed.
Joel Cordele, the director of the
Clarke County Office of Cultural
Affairs, talked about his back
ground in the arts and his current
position. Cordele described the ac
tivities of the cultural affairs de
partment, some of which include
sponsoring the Athens Twilight
Jazz Festival and the North
Georgia Folk Festival.
Jared Bailey has endeavored to
revive the community’s somewhat
flagging interest in arts and music.
Bailey runs the 40 Watt Club,
manages the local band Green
house, publishes Flagpole, a local
music magazine, and is a member
of the Arts-As-Industry Task
Force.
When asked how he chooses the
bands that play his club, Bailey
jokingly replied,“I have a ouija
board in my office."
He said that while he has no set
formula for picking acts for the 40
Watt, he checks into the musical
“track records” of the local bands
he considers. Demo tapes and pro
motional kits of pictures, press re
leases and bios are important if the
band is from out of town, Bailey
said.
‘If they’re newer bands, I
usually find out where they’ve
played before. Sometimes I tell
them to go play somewhere else
and then come back,” Bailey said.
A band may find it tough to
break out of their local music
scene, Bailey said, but with per
sistence and hard work, eventually
someone may listen.
‘There are a hell of a lot of bands
out there. It takes luck because it’s
not as easy as it used to be like
when R.E.M. was first starting out
and people were willing to take a
chance more often,” Bailey said.
Money, or more specifically the
lack of it, is another problem that
musicians regularly face. Bailey
said that the task force is looking
into a way for local artists to obtain
money from lending institutions.
He said he had been refused money
for both his magazine and his club
because these types of ventures are
looked upon as fly-by-night opera
tions.

Lin Hardin had a flare for living. A fire of
energy burned inside of him, it flowed from
him. it permeated his entire being. Most
importantly, he loved to share it with others.
Those around him could'nt help but to feel his
life force. He loved the outdoors, from riding
his bike, to sailing, or even walking through the
woods. He took in what he saw and
experienced and applied it to his life. But yet
he would always return what he had taken in.
From showing others what he had found, to
keeping it In his memory and letting it come
out in his actions. Lin Hardin lived what he
believed In and believed in what he lived.

‘Dick Tracy’: A behind-the-scenes look
By MAURA CORRIGAN
Entertainment Writer
An exclusive, behind-the-scenes
look of Disney’s newest film, “Dick
Tracy," will be presented today in
Room 137 of the Tate Center at 11
a.m. and 12:30 p.m.
The film, which will be released
June 15, was directed by Warren
Beatty, who also plays the lead
role. Madonna also plays a lead
role. Aside from this information,
very little has been disclosed about
the film.
Michael Jones, an advertising
executive from the Atlanta re
gional Walt Disney office will talk
about the film’s production and
possibly give tips about the oppor
tunities offered in film animation.
John Finklea, the new coordi
nator for the Cinematic Arts Divi
sion of the University Union, said
that Jones will “tell how much it
cost to do various scenes and give
other similar information.”
The Cinematic Arts division of
University Union is sponsoring the
event, which is an exclusive be-
‘I think that it might be
slanted towards the
P.R. side. They’re
trying to promote the
movie.’
—Shawn Wheeler
University Union advisor
cause University Union is “the only
one doing this program in the
state,” Finklea Baid.
Shawn Wheeler, staff advisor for
the Cinematic Arts division, said
Jones is supposed to show slides, a
video and P.R. material. “I think
that it might be slanted towards
the P.R. side. They’re trying to pro
mote the movie,” he said.
Last year, University Union
hosted a similar program for the
release of The Little Mermaid.”
Finkley said the Walt Disney re*
onal office contacted University
nion again this year because of
the success of last year’s program.
“It is a way for Disney to adver
tise their films. Last year they re
cruited some animators and gave
studentB information about who to
contact in Los Angeles and that
kind of thing Hopefully they’ll be
doing that again this year. Ultima
tely, it’s to publicize the film and
pass along information,” Finklea
said.
In the future, Disney plans to re
lease a new movie every year.
According to Finklea, “they need a
lot of new animators.”
Today’s program should be both
beneficial and interesting to as-
f lining animators, and it may even
ead students to future careers
Edgar Struble: Speaker
the lending agencies. I don’t think
it will be changing any time soon,"
Bailey said.
All of the speakers agree that to
make it in music you must start at
the bottom. Struble said the low-
paying, strenuous jobs of riggers
and “sluggers,” or roadies, are
where many people get their first
taste of the business.
