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.

It is alleged that several promuent

compete under the rules of eligibility of 1
the conference. '
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
