Shag Story
'Gross, Close, Step' With Variations
Comprises Latest College Dance Fad
What will University students
minx or next7
First it was the Hucklebuck,
then the Charleston and now the
Shag.
Shag fans are extroverts. They
iiKe crowds of people who will
hurry onto the dance floor to
the strains of "Five Feet, Two"
or any fast dance tune and form
a circle to start the Stag routine.
The Shag begins by putting
the rif.ht foot forward and back
two times. This also precedes
mil variation steps. The Shagger
then crosses the right foot over
the left, quickly brings the left
closer to the right and then
places the right a little farther
to the left
The second part of the first step
includes uncrossing the left foot

by returning to normal standing
position and executing a close
step with the right foot and one
more step to the left with the
left foot.
To summarize the basic step,
the Shagger goes heel and back.
heel and back; cross, close, step;
ana step, close, step.
Four variations are added to
this basic Shag step.
Variation one is the cross step.
After the two heel and back
steps, the Shagger Jumps up and
lands on the floor with his feet
crossed Jumps again and
crosses his feet the other way.
The kick is variation two. After
the traditional two steps the Shag
ger kicks his right foot twice off
the floor' similar to a chorus girl.
variation three is the dm sten.
The heel steps precede the dip.
The Shagger turns to the left.
throws right foot slightly back
and dips, then takes a small jump
throwing the left foot back, right
forward and dips.
The hop step, which is next
in the routine, is preceded by
the heel and back step plus a
twirl around to the left The
Shagger then hops backward
with two feet on the floor clap
ping hands after each Jump.
Four backward hops are taken.
Then the Shaeeer takes four
forward steps, preferably Charles
ton steps, though just plain steps
will do. His hands are raised to
shoulder height and jiggled in the
air to add a flapper effect.
The basic step and variations
are done twice in one Shag rou.
tine.
The Shag is complete and if
the music continues, the routine
is started ail over again.
It Is easily adapted to fast
music and any number of peo
ple can be accomodated. The
Shag is becoming increasingly
popular as an "Ice-breaker" at
parties.
Everyone can do it and the
more the merrier. No lessons are
needed. Just follow the steps above
apove and join a Shag circle.

Everyone has heard of a tele
phone or a megaphone, but ten
guesses what a bonophone is.
The bonophone is a musical in
strument, similar to the xylo
pnone, which was invented in
1929 by Henry Reider, paleontolo
gist at the University.
The bononhone is composed
of prehistoric rhinoceros bones
that are over a million years
old which make up two com
plete octaves. The bones were
discovered in A ins worth, Neb.,
in 1926 by University expedi
tionists. '
Reider, while mounting the
bones, accidentally knocked
them together causing them to
produce u mellow musical tone.
By using a handle of a screw
driver as a mallet to produce
tones on the rib-bones, Reider
became certain that the bones
contained a musical Quality.
After two years of experiment
ing, Reider came upon the idea
of placing the ends of the ribs
on rubber material Rubber, Rei
der concluded, would serve as an
insulator and would not absorb
or hinder the vibrations.
By using a set of orchestral
bells Reider was able to deter
mine the pitch of ribs in order
to form a scale.
His bonophone hobby, Reider
explains, is just for fun. It also
proves, he added, that there is
humor even in paleontology.
Reider first appeared with his
bonophone in front of church
socials. Boy Scout meetinga,
high school assemblies and Lin
coln clubs. He then began to
appear on local broadcasting
stations where he received na
tionwide publicity. Letters came
to him from all parts of the
United States asking for infor
mation on this strange musical
instrument
Through the publicity, John
Hicks of, "Strange As It Seems,"
radio program heard of Reider's
invention and asked him to ap
pear on his show in New York.
Reider also performed on his
bonophone on "Major Bowes'
Amateur Hour." It is reported
that the bonophone, now resting
in peace in Reider's office in the
University museum, took New
York by storm.
