Ballet students taught lesson by Miami dancer
Yesterday students taking Introduction to Ballet received a special lesson from Jimmy Gamonet, choreographer of the Miami City Ballet.
He taught a two-hour class to 26 ballet students. Many of the students were enrolled in the class, and others were interested dance students.
"He made us work really hard, but I really like it," said Kool-Lan Tan, Pehang, Malaysia. senior. "He taught some new combinations that I had never seen before."
The master class conducted by Gamonet was part of the Lied Center's engagement with the Miami City Ballet.
"I think it is really good that the Lied Center and the dance department have these kind of deals," Tan said. "It gives us a new exposure to dance and teaches us a different style."
The company performed at the Lied Center last night as part of the "Countdown to the Millennium," a new series created by the center to promote different cultures that influence the performing arts.

Mariana Paiva
About 20 fraternities and sororites, as well as individual competitors, will vie for the championship in the event sponsored by Chi Omega sorority and Alpha KappaLambda.
The 17th annual Wheat Meet, a track meet that benefits cancer research in Lawrence, will be held from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. tomorrow at Memorial Stadium.
Chris Toy, Valley Falls junior and coordinator, said they were expecting about 250 people to compete.
Because of stadium renovations, the long jump, triple jump and high jump events will not take place, said Lindsey Lang, Albaquereque, N.M., junior and coordinator.
Last year, the track meet and associated fund raisers made more than $10,000. Tay said that most of the money came from T-shirt sales.
Registration and T-shirt sales will take place in front of Wescoe Hall from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today.
Additional money will be raised from an all-you-can-eat pasta party from 5 to 8 p.m. tonight at the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity house. Admission is $5, and the event is open to the public.
"It's a fun way to get the greek community and the rest of the campus involved," Lang said. "Plus, it's all for a great cause."

Women's club sponsors Puff Pant Prom tradition
Community jitterbugs can swing to the music of Junk Yard Jazz Saturday night at the Puff Pant Prom.
The prom will take place from 8 p.m. to midnight at Lawrence Riverfront Plaza. Tickets are $15 per person and $8 for senior citizens. The event is being sponsored by the Friends of KU Womens Studies.
The University of Kansas Women's Athletic Association held the first prom in 1924. Attendees were all women, who came as either a Puff in a dress or a Pant in a suit. The event was revived by the organization two years ago, with one change — men are welcome.
"The FOWS center was looking for a way of raising funds and this seemed like an interesting idea," said Jane Sellen, a member of the FOWS board.

Newspaper racks nearly stolen; suspects arrested
By Kelli Raybern
Kansan staff writer
Three KU students who stole Lawrence Journal-World newspaper racks early yesterday morning have said they were sorry but still will face a day in court.
The men also wrote a letter to the managing editor of the Journal-World, Ralph Gage. The Lawrence newspaper, however, does not want to forgive and forget the incident.
According to a police report in the KU Public Safety Office, the men were seen stealing the racks and a KU police officer had them return the stolen items.
"Ralph received a letter from the three individuals apologizing." Chris Boarman, director of the paper's circulation department, said. "But I think we'll still pursue the prosecution."
At 12:10 a.m., three women said they witnessed the students loading two Journal-World racks from in front of Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall into a Jeep Cherokee.
The women flagged down a police officer in the lot west of GSP-Corbin and gave the officer a license plate number from the vehicle.
The officer processed the license plate number and contacted the vehicle's owner. He determined that the owner and two friends had stolen the racks. The officer then issued the men notices to appear in court Oct. 14.
Boarman said he still was trying to determine if the racks had been damaged.
If so, he said it would cost the newspaper between $300 and $550 each to replace them.

The police report stated the value of the racks as $250 each.
