November 18, 1985 Vol "-—. —. James Madison University Monday, November 18, 1985 Vol. 63 No. 22 Council plans to set higher parking fines By Tina Beaumont staff writer Harrisonburg City Council tentatively agreed Tuesday to impose a stricter parking ordinance in the residential area near Greek Row. The council acted in response to complaints made last month by Port Republic Road-Purcell Park area residents that parking violators were vandalizing their homes and cars. Pending a second reading before City Council next Tuesday, the new ordinance will require a parking permit 24 hours a day, seven days a week in the restricted area. The area is bounded on the north by Maplehurst Avenue, on the east by Hillcrest Drive and In- terstate 81, on the south by Monument Avenue and on the west by South Main Street. Currently, parking permits are required in that area from 4 a.m. to 6 p.m. and violators are fined $5. The ordinance probably will go into effect by Jan. 1. Violators will be fined $25. If not paid in 24 hours, the fine will be increased to $35. The residents' petition last month requested a $50 fine and also that violators be towed. But according to Jim Johndrow of Weaver Avenue, who initiated the petition, towing will be enforced only as a last resort. Guests of residents would have more trouble retrieving towed cars than appealing a ticket, he said. Johndrow said he expected the recommendation would not be approved ui full. "As with any negotiation, we went for it all, knowing we were not going to get it." City Council said if the fine does not deter violators, the ordinance would be amended to in- clude towinfg^he said. Richard Baker, president of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity, said he thinks the new ordinance will solve the parking problem. "People are going to park where the fine is lowest." Staff photo by KEVIN ROPP Baker said students park on streets near campus where the fine is less than the $10 charged for park- ing in restricted lots on campus.

Senior Ryan Callis, a member of Sigma Nu fraternity, said residents were justified in seeking the stricter ordinance. He said he parks in the neighborhood only when he is carry- ing a large load from his car to the fraternity house. Junior Bruce Livingstone, a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon frater- nity, said the increased fine is suffi- cient to deter illegal parking. The fine "is a pain in the ass and I probably won't (park in the neighborhood) because I can't af- ford $35, and most people down here can't," he said. The ordinance will work "if they enforce it," Livingstone said. "But if we find out they won't enforce it we'll just go ahead and park there."

  • The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance
    Gordon 1 Jessica Gordon 29 March 2010 Honors Thesis Everything was Beautiful at the Ballet: The Evolution of Musical Theatre Dance During the mid-1860s, a ballet troupe from Paris was brought to the Academy of Music in lower Manhattan. Before the company’s first performance, however, the theatre in which they were to dance was destroyed in a fire. Nearby, producer William Wheatley was preparing to begin performances of The Black Crook, a melodrama with music by Charles M. Barras. Seeing an opportunity, Wheatley conceived the idea to combine his play and the displaced dance company, mixing drama and spectacle on one stage. On September 12, 1866, The Black Crook opened at Niblo’s Gardens and was an immediate sensation. Wheatley had unknowingly created a new American art form that would become a tradition for years to come. Since the first performance of The Black Crook, dance has played an important role in musical theatre. From the dream ballet in Oklahoma to the “Dance at the Gym” in West Side Story to modern shows such as Movin’ Out, dance has helped tell stories and engage audiences throughout musical theatre history. Dance has not always been as integrated in musicals as it tends to be today. I plan to examine the moments in history during which the role of dance on the Broadway stage changed and how those changes affected the manner in which dance is used on stage today. Additionally, I will discuss the important choreographers who have helped develop the musical theatre dance styles and traditions. As previously mentioned, theatrical dance in America began with the integration of European classical ballet and American melodrama.

Unlike many contemporary artists, who look skeptically at the divide between utility and fine art, Shannon embraces their opposition. “To the degree that something is functional, it is less ‘art.’ Because art is a mysterious activity,” he says. “I really distinguish between the two activities.
