Wall-Fh Rules Given 1' On Etiquette By Carolina Graduate | Faith Brewer Publishes Dancing 1 Rules In Atlanta Journal ( ! Advice on how not to be a wall- t flower is given |jy Faith Brewer, ] graduate in the class of '34, and former ? member of the Gamccock staff, in a c feature article appearing in the Atlanta 1 Journal Sunday, October 21. She has t been a feature writer on the staff of a the Atlanta paper for some time. \ "The girl who dawdles in the dressing room and leaves her date hanging 1 around outside indefinitely" is held in great disregard in Atlanta, she concludes from statements made by numerous leaders of society in the city ( and in colleges located there. The c article includes advicc on every sub- p ject connected with dancing in the c south, from picking out the right men a to cultivated drinking at dances. "No girl need be a wall flower. No c young man need feel awkward or self- y conscious on the dance floor. It is all a matter of using a little headwork, j as well as footwork," Miss Brewer's article begins. "j Some of the "don'ts" for girls listed j by the former South Carolina co-ed are: "Don't closc your eyes while J dancing. Don't sing to your partner, and don't lean your head on his shoulder. Think! It takes brains to succeed in social life as well as anywhere else." To boys she gives this advice: J "Don't give a girl a rush at one dance \ and forget her entirely at the next. I When introducing a friend to your ( date, act as though you were doing him a.favor. And if you get stuck for a j no-break, take it like a good sport. Act (| as if fortune were all in your favor. s The chances arc that her date will jj show up, just as you start getting nervous. And if stuck at any other time, still act as though fortune were all in your favor. Other boys like to break on the boy who seems to be en- . joying himself." Boys are advised to "Drink like J gentlemen," and girls, not at all. Many of the leaders interviewed advised boys to dance with the hostesses, and girls to speak to them. Girls should concentrate all their attention upon their s dancing partner; and boys should li never break on a man until he has a li chance to dance at least five steps with ii the girl. n "Of course, the modern girl realizes <1 that villains no longer wear the waxed d mustaches of the melodrama," says b one of the men interviewed, president of a fraternity ayd editor of a univer- a sity paper. lie continues, "On the |j other hand, there are still plenty of j nice boys on the dance floor. A clever ti girl will cultivate these nice boys. Too r many girls make the mistake of being jt nice only to the good-looking man or |, the 'smoothie.' Then they don't have (j enough others to fall back on in a pinch. 1 "When you meet a girl at a dance. c always start the conversation yourself ( unless you wish to be subjected to " the time-worn questions, 'Where are you from? What is your fraternity? ( Where did you go to school?' Never ask a girl to sit out a dance with you unless you arc darn sure she wants to. It is hard for her to refuse tactfully and unless she is tactful your vanity may receive a sharp blow," advises another man interviewed at one of the Georgia colleges. Miss Brewer claims that the southern manner of dancing is not as simple as it appears at first. She says, "Both boys and girls agree that dancing in the south, with its 'breaks,' its 'no breaks,' its 'lead-outs,' its 'grand marches' and its stag line is a little more complicated than at first appears." The article, appearing under a halfpage cut, is about two columns long.

' The Citadel athletic authorities in the ' past have been governed by the South- ' crn Conference rules concerning eligibility, although not a member of the Conference. There is some reason to believe that the Citadel policy may not i continue as Southern Conference rules j hold that no transfer student who has competed at any other university shall I be eligible to participate in the same sport as a member of a team of any institution of this conference. Southern Conference rules also provide that transfer students from a junior college, normal school, or any other institution not offering a standard four year course may be allowed to continue their athletic careers at the institution to which they transfer provided they conform to the one year residence rule and to the five year limit of participation. It is above two rules that may prevent Carolina from meeting Citadel on HSSg 'Vv: -W* S: v.; cU to! flu j rjyj^K hHH BHfi&l M .. Vs;...
