Danielsons Bring Square
Dances to City Campus
In Union Lessons Tonight
A revival of the gentle art of
the square dance, popular on ag
campus last year, will come this
year to city campus.
As a new feature on the Union's
activity program, free square
dance lessons will be given by
Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Danielson in
the Union ballroom beginning to
night. Instruction will start at
8:45 p. m. and end promptly at
8 p. m.
Six sessions will be held, one
each week. To register all you
must do is bring your identifica
tion card. Because of lack of room
in the Union ballroom the class
will be limited to 200 and regis
trations will not be accepted after
the first two sessions.
Instructors Taught by Shaw.
The Danielsons were taught by
Lloyd Shaw, the country's fore
most exponent, of the square
dance. In his home in Colorado
Springs, Colo., Mr. Shaw has or
ganized several square dancing
groups who have touted the coun
try. His story appeared in a re
cent issue of the Saturday Eve
ning Post.
At each lesson a typical old
fashioned orchestra will supply
the music. A group of students
from ag campus will demonstrate
the dance technique tonight.

Conditions in Britain
By Dale Wolf.
"Calling a person a 'bomb bore' is just about the
worst insult a person can receive in England to
day," said Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Elmhirst of Tot
nes, England, before nearly 500 students and fac
ulty members Friday morning at the g college
convocation.
An inside picture on how England was holding
her own by such ways as keeping the morale of
the people high, by stiff rationing of practically all
materials and foodstuffs-was related.
As an illustration of the humor that still exists
with the English populace, Mrs. Elmhirst told of a-
bombing that took place one night. The next morn
ing, one shop that had been struck by a bomb had
a sign displayed "Open as usual." A store next to
it that was practically ruined put a sign which read,
"More open than usual."
People Don't Mind Rationing.
Since 1333, the English people have been ra
tioned, and today their ration consists partially of
the following things; 25 cents worth of meat per
week per person, one egg per week per person,
only two slabs of butter per person per week, and
