" A Good Place To Eat" THE GOODY SHOPPE Open All Night Phone 9166 anlCes; i Dancing Class MakesZoot-Suite7 Just in case you've been wondering why U. S. C. is. famous for its Terpsichorean artists (dancers to you, moron), take a pcek at the dancing classes sponsored by Brooksie Mar shall and Polly Fillingim every Tues day and Thursday from 4-5 in Flinn Hall. The classes consist of about 25 to 30 boys. The agile inst-uctors are girls from the dancing classes. Any girls who are qualified as instructors will be very welcome .to come join in the fun. There is a serious short age of woman poser (strange as it seems) in the dancing classes. Each girl should have a fairly good knowl edge ot the most popular steps as they are likely to be requested to teach anything from the box step to the conga. Records for dancing are fur nished by the "Y". Most of the boys who come to dancing classes are cager to learn and have visions of some day be coming a zoot-suiter. The one thing that discourages beginners more than anything else is the appearance of would-be professionals on the scene. One look at their antics convinces the learner he doesn't have a chance. There is no time limit to the course. Boys are unusually fast at catching on to new steps. The average boy stays about a semester and then be comes bigheaded. Yankee boys are very smooth dancers but don't know the Carolina steps. The instructors try to get the boys to master slow dancing first since this is the basis from which all other steps spring. There is very little in terest in formal walu..ing, or in the rhumba or conga. One V-12 who had been in the fleet for some time appeared in danc ing class one day and approached Brooksic with the plea that she straighten out his dancing. I Ie further explained that he had been to a multi tude of countries and cities among which were Australia, Scotland, New Orleans, and New York. IHis dancing had a touch of each. To prove his point, he demonstrated to Brooksie what he had learned at each place and how lie had combined them. Ie waiited to learn a statndardized st<p so that lie could dance anywhere. The instructor came to his aid with a rendition of the box step, the waltz, etc. More power to the "old salt". A.iother V-12 came into the class under the pretense that he wanted to learn to waltz. He was referred to Appie Speed, a smooth little dancer if there ever was one. The V-12 theni discarded his incognito role and began a professional adagio with Appie. It was later learned that he had been on the stage as a professional dancer. Independents Donate $175 To Chapel Fund "Approximately $175 will be (1o nated by the Independents to the University Chapgl fund," announced Kitty McFarland, president of the Independenit Women of the Uni versity of South Carolina, at a meet ing held Monday niighit, April 24.
