Spotlight on Organizations Ballroom Dance Club
BY JESSICA SAIN-BAIRD
Ballroom dancing was never a hobby or interest for Jorge Ortiz, Lima, Peru, graduate student, before he saw an advertisement for dance classes on campus.
He tried it out but found the dance style fairly difficult in the beginning.
"The first few times it was pretty uncomfortable; it's something you've never done before," he said.
Over time, though, the patterns became easier and he continued with ballroom dancing.
His enjoyment of the dance style grew, and now Ortiz serves as president of the KU Ballroom Dance Club. The club's purpose is to teach and promote ballroom dancing in the Lawrence community and has been at the University for about 15 years, he said.
Professionals and student teachers instruct lessons that start at the beginning of each semester, which is when Ortiz recommends those interested join the club. Ballroom and salsa dancing lessons are held throughout the week. Members show up as much as they want, and
pay a $25 fee for a semester of lessons. Neither experience nor a partner is required. The lessons, which attract about 25 people each week, are aimed mostly toward people who want to dance as a hobby Ortiz said.
"We do the more social aspect," he said, which includes getting together, learning to dance, and going to clubs.
The organization's third annual Masquerade Ball will be held at 8:30 p.m. on Nov. 11 at Camelot Ballroom, 1117 Massachusetts St. The event is open to the public and costs $5 for students and $7 for non-
students. The evening will begin with a free dance lesson, according to the Ballroom Dance Club Web site.
Anyone in the Lawrence area is invited to join the Ballroom Dance Club. For more information, those interested can visit their Web site at http://groups.ku.edu/~kubdc/ or e-mail the group at kubdc/ku.edu.

ODD NEWS Domestic dispute leads to couple baring all to police
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — No shirt,
no service? What about no clothes
at all?
A couple that began squabbling in a motel room Friday morning carried their dispute over to an adjacent Waffle House restaurant in the nude, police said.
The woman, who was not identified, told officers she was staying in a room with Larry Boyd when he took a hit of cocaine, started trashing their room and choked her.
She ran in the buff to the nearby restaurant and locked herself in the bathroom. Boyd, also naked, followed her into the restaurant and then fled in a car.
He was arrested—still naked
He was arrested — still naked — after a short chase by police and was charged with driving under the influence and felony evading arrest, among other charges. It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney.

Attorneys general race gets ugly in final days
TOPEKA — Complaints about negative mailings and phone calls to voters abounded as the bitter attorney general's race between Republican incumbent Phil Kline and Democratic challenger Paul Morrison entered its final days.
Kline was upset about mailings by a group with ties to Dr. George Tiller, who operates a Wichita abortion clinic, suggesting Kline doesn't care about making sure divorced parents pay child support. The mailing cites a 1997 vote by Kline as a House member, which he said was mischaracterized.
Meanwhile, Carol Williams, state Governmental Ethics Commission executive director, said Friday she's fielded numerous complaints about anonymous phone calls to voters, including calls in which people who say they plan to vote for Morrison were berated. Both campaigns decried the latter tactic.
