Strictly ballroom

     When members of the Ballroom Dance Club at the University took to
the floor in a recent competition at Catholic University, they
received national coverage on CBS News.
     The network, which was doing a story on the revival of ballroom
dancing at colleges, opened with alumna Meredith Wilkes, Delaware '95
and senior Harvey C. Smith III, Delaware '96, competing in the rhumba.
Also featured were current students senior Kelly Martin and junior
Shane Ford competing in the tango.
     Martin and Ford also did well in the competition, winning second
place in the tango, and third place in the merengue and jive.
     In all, 18 universities and colleges, with 600 contestants
competed in the event, and Delaware was represented by 18 students,
plus others from the local community, according to adviser Pat Grim,
physical education, athletics and recreation.
