"The most rewarding part of being in the group is watching everyone grow and develop their skills." Copeland said.

Ballroom dancing may not be prevalent on campus, but with TV shows such as "So You Think You Can Dance" and "Dancing with the Stars," competitive dancing is becoming more popular across the nation.
The group competes in three competitions a year. The biggest competition is in the fall, and two smaller competitions are in the spring.
DanceSport is a campus group that competes in ballroom dancing competitions. The group competed March 3 in the Cyclone Ballroom Classic at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa.
In Ames, everyone from DanceSport placed in one of their events.
Although the dancers attended the competition together, each individual was rated separately. The couples advanced to the next round based on performance.
"This is a big accomplishment because we gain a lot of new members at the start of the new semester", said Emily Copeland, McPherson sophomore and DanceSport president.

POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS Voters look at candidates' characters before issues
WASHINGTON — For all the policy blueprints churned out by presidential campaigns, there is this indisputable fact: People care less about issues than they do about a candidate's character.
A new Associated Press-ip poll says 55 percent of those surveyed consider honesty, integrity and other values of character the most important qualities they look for in a presidential candidate.
Just one-third look first to candidates' stances on issues; even fewer focus on leadership traits, experience or intelligence.
Associated Press
"Voters only look at policies as a lens into what type of person the candidate is," said Ken Mehlman, chairman of President Bush's 2004 re-election campaign. That campaign based its voter targeting and messaging strategies on the character-first theory.

Poser hides baby in purse,

LUBBOCK, Texas — A newborn baby kidnapped from a hospital in the middle of the night has sparked a statewide manhunt and multiple Amber Alerts in Texas and New Mexico, authorities said.
Tips about the abduction came in from across the region and the country. Lubbock police Lt. Scott Hudgens said.
The search for MyMichael Darthard-Dawodu continued early Sunday as police looked for a woman who posed as a medical worker and left Covenant Lakeside Hospital with the 5-pound baby hidden in her purse.
So far, "nothing's working out for us," he said. "There's no telling where they went."
