War of the Verteb The Twisi The scene was the last Freshman Orientation Program to be held at the R. G. Bell "Y" Camp. Guitarsi were blaring loudly, and a small knot of students-to-be were gathered around a drummer who was emphatically whaling the night lights out of something called "The Twist."

The Twist has become so im portant now that it has many at tackers and backers across the reaches of time and space. I'm quite sure that many days will pass us by before we forget the pre-game warm-ups of the 1961 Clemson football team. That got more notice, praise, and abuse for this institution than anything of an academic nature has been able to conjure up yet. We note that in London, England, a dancing school instructor has banned the new craze from his danc ing floor because - as he put it - "It is too sexy." This instructor, Bernard Stetson stated, "The Twist is far too uninhibited, abandoned, and frankly sexy to be performed in Britain. It belongs in the African bush." Up at the University of Tennessee where dances of this sort seem to be the main stream of energy re leases, a huge traffic jam developed in front of the main campus the other night. You see, some music store was holding a twist contest and there wasn't room for about 200 students who arrived juiced up and ready to go. So, they held their own little contest out in the middle of the street. Police patiently directed traffic in, around, and through the twisters for about two hours. What else could they do - besides joining in the fun, fever, and frolic? Oh, yes, the Twist does have pro tectors as well as attackers. The dance has friends in Florida, too. City Councilman Bill Myers of Tampa danced the Twist at a coun cil meeting in an effort to remove a ban on the dance at the Tampa Community Center. After he was through, it was decided that the ban would remain in effect. Speaking of bans, a Camden, South Carolina minister who has been waging a one-man war for the return of prohibition, has turned his attention to the Twist. The Reverend Ray Jones of Camden's Hermitage Baptist Church says the dance was "hatched in the incubators of Hell." Jones says he has "never known a true, Godly man or woman who loved the Twist - or any dance, for that matter." He added that "God never grew praying knees on dancing limbs." Jones recently called Gover nor Hollings a "Tool of the liquor industry" when the Governor de clined to endorse the minister's pro hibition campaign. On the lighter side, we have been told of another minister's run-in with the dance. The United Press, Nestern Electric ric at one of the best times in uistory.

It seems that everyone and every thing has taken up this new and exciting sport. Just turn on your television set, and you may be lucky enough to see the "Twist with me, Malcolm, in your Falcon." Dance, in which a certain automobile manu facturing concern has gone to the edge of advertising and introduced a really twisted commercial. Twisting has become so common place that it is no longer unusual to hear the ever-growing list of injuries sustained while cavorting in the aforementioned fashion.

This twister climbed upon a mantlepiece to give a twisting exhibition As he was in a rather "spirited" state, his footing was insecure and he plunged from his perch to the tune of a broken leg. As the evening was young, he returned to the party with the leg in a cast. As the clock stroked in the new for '62 year, the twister in the plaster cast climbed again, to the merriment of his companions, onto the mantlepiece. As his friends laughed, the wooden structure col lapsed under its unusual burden. That twister is spending the be ginning of the new year learning to twist again - in traction. You may be for twisting - and you may be against it. But whatever path you dance down, be it foxtrot, waltz, or wallflower, you must admit that the twist (or whatever you, happen to call it) is here.

The world of entertainment may seem somewhat spe cial, but it's a case in point. These days, it demands more of its people than ever before. Today's musical comedy score is often as sophisticated as grand opera. Drama draws heavily on psychology and history. Television pro ductions are concerned with nuclear science and political science. If you've ever watched 'Omnibus' you may have seen how our productions have run the gamut of a wide range of man's interests. So I suggest to you that even though you may concen trate on one special field of interest, keep your viewpoint broad. Keep your college curriculum as diversified as pos sible. Attend lectures and concerts, the theatres and mu seums. Above all, read and read, and listen and listen! But pay scant heed to the oracle who says there's no route to the top but that of specialization. I don't believe it!"
