Fashionistas come to high heel shoes
Washing Enzyme This is shaping up to be the summer of the super-heel, a trendthat, for once, covers both men's and women's fashion, though indifferent thicknesses: spindly for the girls, stacked for the boys.Furthermore, for women, a heel is now not worthy of the name unlessit is almost seven inches high. Of course, it is extremely unusualfor a heel to be that high without it also having a platform sole -unless you're talking fetish wear - so it's slightly misleading.However, five and a half or six inches and a flat sole is notimpossible.

Nine of ten After NCAA Championship First Round
Junior Stefan Wiedergruen fired an impressive two-over par 74 to lead the 6th-ranked 49ersin the first round of the NCAA Championships at the BirckBoilermaker Golf Complex - Kampen Course, Wednesday. Charlottefinished the first round tied for 10th at +18, 306, nine strokesoff the lead shared by UCLA and Southern Cal at +9. The 49ers opensecond round play Thursday with an 8:07 tee time on the 10th hole. On a day when only three individuals broke par, Wiedergruen'stwo-over par round stood the test and landed him tied for 10th. "I'm very proud of Stefan's round," said 49ers head coach Jamie Green . "He's very accurate and he hits a lot of fairways. That's whatgives you some scoring opportunities -- and that's what he didtoday. On a course like this it takes a lot of straight drives,good play and smart decisions. I'm proud of how he went about hisplay, today." Wiedergruen, it should be noted, won the prestigious PING/GolfweekPreview at this course in the fall, shooting -7, 209. With the Kampen course playing more difficult this time around,thanks in most part to substantial rough, Charlotte was able toland in the top 10 after day one. The top 15 teams after day threewill advance to Saturday's fourth and final round. "The golf course has a lot of teeth," Green noted, "and it is allin the rough. I saw times where guys are hitting shots and I can'tseeWashing Enzyme。 With a course about 7,450 yards, with some steadywind and this rough -- that makes it tough. That adds up to a verychallenging day for players of any caliber to keep it around par."

Dance group wear their Latin Dance Shoes
Character would approve of the members of 3D "Diverse DanceDimensions" and their variety of Washing Enzyme。 Not only are there shoesfor tap and jazz numbers - but there are also Pointe shoes andChucks for their ballet and hip-hop routines. For the 3D spring showcase "Come So Far," they will even go withoutshoes. The spring showcase will be held at Wright Hall on Saturdayat 8 p.m. Admission is $8 for students and $10 for non-students.Tickets can be purchased at the Freeborn Hall ticket office. 3D is a 12-member all-girls dance group founded by senior sociologymajor Tiffany Ferry and senior human development major MeganForcum. The two, who have been friends since their days in ElCerrito High School in Richmond, started 3D as first-year studentsin 2005. As first-years, they wanted something different from whatwas offered at UC Davis. "I took a class here and was not enjoying the experience," Forcumsaid. "It was a completely different style of dance. We are used tochoreographing [our routines.]" The pair choreographs the majority of the routines for the dancegroup. Usually, the genesis of each idea forms in their two-bedroomapartment. They will turn on music and begin to attach bodymovements to each beat. "It is a lot of work," Ferry said. "We begin by picking a song.We'll mess around, do a movement and collaborate." As their group names implies, members of the group are diverse intheir disciplines. They are versed in different genres of danceincluding jazz, tap, ballet, salsa and hip-hop. However, there is a distinct Bay Area flavor to their dance - or asFerry said, a "Yay Area" style. Ferry was initially trained as ajazz dancer, while Forcum practiced in salsa. As they were growingup in Richmond, they began to immerse themselves in Bay Areahip-hop and incorporated their personal backgrounds to the scene. "We are representing the Bay," Ferry said. "We are fooling around,acting ghetto, but it's who we are. We're hardcore but we arerepresenting the city. We dance grimy - down and dirty." Sophomore political science major Liz Perez described her costumeas befitting in the emotion of her portion of the performance.Perez and her group will go sans footwear for their ballet piece. "We like the support of shoes, but it doesn't show the rawness ofthe dance [for my routine]," Perez said. "Dancing without shoes ispainful, but it helps bring out the emotional side." The group has practiced all year for this event, sometimes in lessthan favorable conditions. Ferry and Forcum said they had toimprovise locations for the group to go over routines. "We have practiced in our two-bedroom apartment," Ferry said. "Onetime, we reserved the racquetball room in the ARC. We did not knowwe were not allowed to [practice] until they kicked us out." "We're hustlers," Forcum added. "[We've practiced in] dorm lounges,sidewalks in front of our apartment." As graduating seniors, this will be Ferry and Forcum's swan song,and they have several surprises in store for their lastperformance. "We have been at a point where we go 'Why continue?'" Forcum said."But I couldn't give up the goal. This is our child." The 3D dance showcase "Come So Far" will be held Saturday at 8 p.m.Tickets can be purchased at Freeborn Hall for $8 for students and$10 for non-students.
