Indian Dance ]
Will Appear T
Reginald and Gladys Laubin,
interpreters of the music' and
dance of the American Indians,
will appear in Drayton Hall today
at 10 a.m.
Reginald Laubin was started on
his career as a boy when he met
two traveling Indians whose
dances so fascinated him that he
decided he wanted to be an Indian i
dancer. With his wife, Gladys, he I
has made exhaustive studies of I
Indian material in the leading
museums and studied voluminous
anthropological papers and re
ports.
While on the Standing Rock<
Reservation, in North and South'
Dakota, the Laubins were adopted
as honorary mem~bers of the Sioux
tribe in appreciation of their work
they were doing to bring about a
better understanding of the Indian
people, their arts and customs.
Chief One Bull, nephew of the
famous Sitting Bull of history,
conducted the ceremonies and
adopted Reginald Laubin as his
son, bestowing upon him his own
name, Takanka Wanjila, meaning
"The Only Buffalo Bull." He
named Gladys Laubin, Wiyaka
Wastewin, "Good Feather," the
name of his mother, who wasn

[he committee took no action,
lie plan at the next meeting
March 18.
Under the system recommended
by the subcommittee, freshmen
and transfer students would be
allowed a maximum of four un
excused absences. Cuts taken on
Saturday and on days before and
after university holidays would be
counted as double cuts.
Upper class students, who have
an average of 3.0 for the previous
semester would be allowed un
limited cuts the following semester.
If, at mid-semetter, their average
is below 4.0, they revert to the
same system used for freshmen
and transfer students.
Students on the voluntary at
tendance system (those with a 3.0
average) may not miss more than
75% of the class meetings.
Under the proposed plan, ex
cuses would be given for recog
nized religious holidays; two, three
or more consecutive days of cer
tified illness; official attendance
at recognized university activities;
marriage (not to exceed 5 days)
[or marriage of students or in the
immediate family; death or critical
illness in the immediate family.
The subcommittee also recom
nended uniform enforcement of
Iropping students from a course
ovith a WA for the fifth unexcused
Lbsence, with no exceptions.
According to the subcommittee,
;his plan would be comparatively
asy for the faculty to administer
ince there are only two classifica
ions. The increase in conference
n individual cases would be offset
)y the decrease of record keeping
