262 Wesf Dorm Dancers Put
Their Best Feet Forward
By MOYLAN MILLS
Two-hundred and - sixty-two
potential Fred Astaires and-Gene
Kellys from the West dorm area
have' been gathering on the TUB
dance foor for the past month in
an effort to polish up their fox
trots or jitterbugs before -the ; holi
days.
An integral part of'the dean of
men’s counseling system in the
West dorm area, the class was
started on a temporary basis this
semester. It has been jammed
from the beginning with young
men intent on learning the best
procedure for whirling . young
women rhythmically across a
dance floor.
Class Popular
In fact, the class is so popular
that it has been split into five
groups meeting 6:30 to 7:30, Mon
day through Friday nights.
George Donovan, director of as
sociated student activities, is in
charge of the class. Paul Kritsky
and Frank Huttlinger, resident
advisers in the West dorm area,
are the supervisors.
One of the most attractive ele
ments of the class is the women
sent five nights a week by Pan
hellenic council, Leonides,, and
Philotes to help with the' instruc
tion. Dr. Betram Kessel, assis
tant professor of physical educa
tion, is in overall charge of
instruction. ■
He is assisted by Jacqueline
Axelrod, Mary Jane Bailey, Pa
tricia Barfield, Warren Bartholo
mew, Sara Bilheimer, James
Dittmar, Faye Dunmire, Nancy
Erb, George Heller, Dorothy
Horne, Cornelia McCaffrey,' Mari
lyn Williams, and Regina Wil
liams. William Fuller, from
Student Union office, handles the
music.
Murray System
The Arthur Murray system is
being used by the instructors. So
far, the dancers have tackled the
intricacies of the box step, magic
step forward, magic step back
ward, and the grapevine step.
One group has even been exposed
to the essentials of the jitterbug.
No matter how you view, the
class, it: is definitely an inno

vation. • Other organizations have
sponsored dancing classes but
never one involving 262 persons.
Also, it is- the first class to be
organized through dormitory
counseling facilities.
: Both freshmen and upperclass
men are enrolled in the class.
They will get - their master de
grees in the art of dancing when
the class ends its six-week ses
sion'Jan. 12. At present, tenta
tive plans are under way for
scheduling more classes next se
mester. Certainly the demand
should be even greater then
when the present dancers demon
strate their terpsichorean ability
before their less fortunate class
mates.

Who said the government is
impersonal. The first Greet
ings to arrive this Christmas
has come from my draft board.
They’re a nice bunch of fel
lows. They’re lining up a job
for. me and I’m not even in
the upper 95% of my class.
And the cupboard
was bare
Speaking of jobs, my friend
Clarence Fogdiddle has a job
in the post office at home
this Christmas. No time to buy
presents. So he’s shopping now
at Ethel’s. Not a bad idea. You
have only 4 days at home to
pick up picked-over merchan
dise.
Whereas at Ethel’s—she’s
.loaded. And with a lot of
small gifts you can fit easily
into your bag. Or send to your
aunt to keep until you get
home.
You're an
old sew and sew
If you have a sewing rela
tive, give her a SEW and SEW.
Looks like a lip stick. But in
side are 5 spools of thread,
thimble, and needle. A steal at
-$l
If she cooks, she’ll appreci
ate something delectable from
the HOUSE of HERBS. Spices,
sauces—lots .of good things
nicely packaged for giving.
Some cost only 35 cents.
If you have a drinking friend
(water included) - Ethel has
some unique sets of tumblers.
Stop in and see the ludicrous
Steig cartoon glasses and 'ash
trays. Ice tongs (for ice cubes)
are good looking at $1.50. They
also work. A new siphon jig
ger for pouring drinks comes
at only $1.50. Or if you want
to spend real money you can
get a solid silver bar spoon
for $5.
You'll look better
framed
If you got your picture
taken, dad, mom, boy friend
or girl friend would like it in
a leather frame. These start
in small sizes at a measly $l.OO.
If mom or dad has to crawl
into the turkey to get the stuff
ing out, give a turkey dressing
spoon. If he has hair, there
are some smart brush and
comb sets for $2.00. Or how
about a man size clothes brush
with a shoe handle on the end
at $1.50.
If mom serves food, she’ll
love you for a Pennsylvania
trivit. Loads of unique designs
starting at $l.OO. Good for put
ting under plants, too. Or may
be she’d like a nice tea tile
at 69c.
Something fr>r
everybody
Want more suggestions?
Ethel has alligator, pigskin,
cordovan, an ostrich belts, stud
boxes, cuff links and tie clasps;
Spiedel watch bands, Ronson,
Zippo, and several other
makes of lighters; evening
bags the like of which you
won’t see this side of Long
Island. Robeson and Gerber
cutlrey, Franciscan earthen
ware, bridge cloths.
Even have something for the
children. An irresitable clown
bean bag at $1.50.
For 689 other suggestions,
stop in at Ethel’s anytime be
fore nine o’clock any evening.
She closes on Sunday. And
that’s a good cue for me.
Jolly Holiday, and all that
sort of stuffing.
