LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1937 IMUCE FIVE CENTS ...... v-- if - Truck and Double Truck. The simple walks of life are no more. Gone are the one-two-oncs and the step-gllde-steps in danc ing. Tast are the days when a gent pushed his frail the length of a ballroom, turned her around and shoved her back again. Forever dead are gliding swoops and sweeping turns. Everybody's truckin'. Not that any of us old timers could ever keep up to date. The father remarked the other day that before he could ever venture on a dance floor again, he'd have to learn somehting other than just "walkin' around." And tripper of super-light fantastlcs, Ed Ewart, asked this lead-foot how was com ing our "around and abooting." But there are those The High and Hi Di Hi As in every other skilled pas time, there's truckin' and there's truckin'. Differences in temper ament and altitude make for In dividuality. Bob Ramey't truck In', for example, is lofty; Merl dore Cropper's is lowdown. Both are things of beauty to behold. But the nice blending of the casual with the enthusiastic we so admire in our truckin' is most nearly achieved in the stepping of Aberdeen's own Ruthie Van Slyke. Miss VanSlyke made her debut as a danseusc before an enthralled throng of associated Christian young men. Ruthie, with Claudine Burke was trekin' a nasty truckin' down the Temple stairs just as the boys were from adjourning a session with Ray Ramsey on how to be happy though green, or some such thing. Claudine, the sharp-eyed, spotted the gathering audience at this ex hibition of fine art. But Claudine, the wench, although she called a ha'f in her own step skippings, spoke nary a word of warning to fellow artist. And when Ruthie came out of her clouds with a start, on the bottom step by the fountain, she was confronted with stomping, time-clapping, acclaim ing and encouraging Y era. She Has Principles. Ruth, who once remarked, fresh from a Bouwsma philos ophy session, that she guessed she didn't have an ethical mind, has, however, definite and ju dicious ideas on truckin. Her principles of the dance are two fold. First, relax! No little bitty, halfway relaxations allowed. All relaxing should be done in a guhreat big way. Second, suh wing it! Truckin', feels Authority Van Slyke, has revolutionized the danc ing of the age. Where once ball room footwork was lntrovertive and, shall we say, subjective, it is now extravertive, openly objective. Truckin' has brought on The Big Apple, and all the new dance cults that harken back to the old circle dances. A complete cycle of group rhythmnixations may evolve from the hippoty-hoppoty. finger-shaping fun called truckin". And the benefits of trie thing. Klementary. my dear Watson. Miss VanSlyke states, simply. "You're the life of the party." So truck on down, you-alL First Year Class Of 300 Engineers Boasts One Coed Three hundred men students and one coed go to make up the fresh man class in the college of engi neering at the university this fall.

Martin S. Teterson. English in structor at the agricultural college, completed in August a book en titled "Joaquin Miller, Literary Frontiersman" which he began in 1930. The book has been published by the Stanford University Press. The life of the poet. Joaquin Miller, is ably traced from the time of his birth in Vienna till his death in 1913. Miller led an energetic life, for he traveled over the Ore gon Trail, went to the Klondike was a .lournalist in the Boxer re- hellion, went with Walker to Nica ragua. and finallv ca"'cd fame while traveling in England. Full-Bearded Eccentric. The "poet of the Sierras" had many friends, among them Jack London. White Harrison. Theodore Roosevelt snd William McKinley. Although Miller was not a great poet, his narrative poetry shows considerable talent. An able lec turer, he commented on life in a manner similar to that of James Whitcomb Riley. Like Tennyson and Browning, his works are of tremendous volume, though not of such quality. Somewhat an eccen tric person, he wore a full beard and a "forty-niner" costume.
