Dr. Frank Ashley, ballroom dance instructor and associate dean of undergraduate studies, said both men and women join his classes with a SO SO ratio. “Guys take the class because it helps with their coordination, and I think their girlfriends com plain they can’t dance,” Ashley said."I tell the guys that I know they have been bribed or forced by their girlfriends to come, but I have not had one complaint from a guy.

We can not make a per son fluent but we can put them on the track,” he said. “The in structors are checked to see if they can teach.

Everyone in Texas knows how to country-western dance but they do not realize how similar the two are and how useful it can be.” Rachel Walker, a junior wildlife and fishery sci- you can take a class and you don’t have to wony about a grade.” Frank Ashley University Plus instructor Kelly Continued from Page 3 But what separates Reckless Kelly from other alternative coun try bands such as Son Volt and Whiskeytown is their pop accessi bility and clean production val ues.
