The death knell to fancy dancing was BOundod Saturday morning when representatives from each Borority met In Miss UHllmw'H ufflco aitd-fll their willingness to use their inflluence against the extrome dances, at all uni verBity functions. Miss Graham called this meeting to find out how the girln felt about the matter, and the committee' may bo in fluenced to quite an extent by their opinions. Although the coeds stated that thoy would live up to rules as made by the committee they lequested that the rules will not remain bo strict, but loosen up sufficiently to allow indulging in somo of the faster and fancy dances instead of a constunt diet of waltzes and two-Bteps Hoube rules and the adylpabUUy of adopting greater sym plicity in dress wore alBO discussed. Kach sorority was asked to carefully go over their hout-c rules and then to bring in a copy to Miss Graham's ofTice for mBpection This communication is not so much a defense of the tango as a sui;geB tlon toward the better performance of all varieties of dancing.

As explained in Wednesday's com muncation the steps are not degrnd ing in character and m spite of state ments to the contrnrv the simple ones are easil learned The point to be made is tnat unj dqiice, ineliuling the waltz und two stop as well as the tango, can be and is danced improperly at times, and probably 1) the same persons in ca h case. In the past we excused it as awkwardness and were too bashful to reprimand the individual At pres ent, we blame tho new dances instead.
