Learn to shake it

Israeli-style Thursdays
Are you tired of booty-shaking at dance clubs? The Oregon Hillel and the Jewish Student Union have a different movement experience to offer. Dance the night away every Thursday — Israeli-style.
Lessons and dancing go from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. each week at the Agate Auditorium; the first hour is for beginners, and advanced students can find their niche in the second hour. International instructor William Harvey travels from Portland to teach on alternating weeks.
These dance events are free for students, and community members can pay on a sliding scale from $3 to $18.

Cheap Jewelry Sale

returns as fund-raiser
Want to score some cool, low-priced jewelry and see student art as well? The eighth annual Cheap Jewelry Sale will provide both these opportunities in one.
The sale, which will run Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the lobby of Lawrence Hall, will feature at least 400 pieces of handmade jewelry created by intermediate and advanced metalsmithing and jewelry students.
Each student designed 20 to 40 items, and the rings, pendants, brooches, earrings and other accessories were fashioned from everything from silver to rubber. Each bauble will be available for $15 or less. The funds raised will be used toward guest lectures and studio equipment for the Department of Art.
