Modern dance show Tuesday
By Dennis Eliermeir
A modern dance company that has been a
pioneer in bringing dance to people who have
seen little dance will perform on the UNL
campus Tuesday.
The Utah Repertory Dance Theater (RDT)
was established eight, years ago in Salt Lake
City. Now permanent artists in residence at the
University of Utah, RDT strives towards
"regionalism" in the arts. The company believes
"in decentralizing dance and the other arts by
moving them out from Eastern cities and
making them truly part of our national
existence," according-to Bill Evans, one of the
company's coordinators.
RDT has not only pioneered in bringing
dance to new audiences but has experimented
with its internal structure. They have
established an artistic direction of the company
as determined by the rest of the company in
dancer's meetings.
Four pieces will be performed at the
Tuesday concert. For Betty, choreographed by
Bill Evans, is a visualization of the joyful and
exuberant Concerto Grosso in D major by
Antonio Vivaldi.
Again with choreography by Evans, Hard
Times is a collection of his impressions on the
lives of the rural poor of the South and
Appalachia. It is set to traditional folk music.
The Initiate takes its theme from the
allegorical novel The Painted Bird by Jerzy
Kosinski. It is about the fate of a novice in a
corrupt society.
The last piece, Figure Eight, is
choreographed by Linda C. Smith.
During its three day residency in Lincoln,
RDT will give master classes and
demonstrations on campus and in the Lincoln
Public Schools.
A free lecture demonstration on
Introduction to Dance will be given in the
dance studio (Women's Physical Education
Bldg. 304) Monday at 7:30 p.m.
The concert will be Tuesday at 8 p.m. at
Kimball Recital Hall. General admission is
$1.25.

Best seller
more than
sex manual
The Joy of Sex, edited by Alex Comfort
The Joy of Sex is probably the biggest
selling book on sex to appeat since author
Henry Miller's heyday. It's been on
national and local bestseller lists for more
than a year now, and remains among the
top five sellers in Lincoln. But it should
sell. It's an excellent book.
Somehow books on sex manage to be
not as interesting as their subject.
Whether they are surveys, like authors
Masters and Johnson's work, or examples
of the how to do it genre, they just don't
have it. .
The surveys tend to be coldly clinical,
filled with long tables, and Latinate in
their descriptions to the point of
obscurity. The how to do it books are
useful for unhappy virgins and athletes, -but
of little value to ordinary lovers. Who
really needs to know 87 different ways to
avoid the missionary position?
Comfort's book, though of the how to
do it variety, doesn't have the troubles
such books usually do. It's big, liberal and
complete. It tells how it's done, suggests
some new, flowery French names for
some old maneuvers, and even begins to
justify it all.
Alex Comfort's editing is adequate hut
most of the credit for the book must go
to the anonymous Midwestern couple on
whose research the book is based. The
husband is a physician whose practice,
presumably, would be hurt by disclosure
of his association with The Joy of Sex.
seith Icxndgren
books
Maybe it would be, but it's hard to
imagine why. Ther doctor and his wife are
deeply in love , and express their love
appropriately enough, through sex. The
words of The Joy of Sex are their words,
the viewpoints theirs and the affection
they feel for each other is on every page.
The couple describes their own sex life
in detail, but the encyclopedia-like
format prevents The Joy of Sex from
reading like a racy memoir.
A clue to the book's popularity is in
the way they handle those things. They
don't swing, fcr instance, but they
suggest that anyone who wants to should.
Extramarital sex, like premarital and
postmarita! sex, is for people who want
to. That liberal, almost hedonistic, yet
compassionate approach pervades The
Joy of Sex, makes it popular, and finally
makes it useful.
The book's other assets include two
pictorial essays and hundreds of fine,
detailed line drawings. Those textual
illustrations are juseful indeed, for a three
hundred word description of a sexual
exercise favored in Nepal is usually
meaningless. '
The Joy of Sex is $12.95 in hardcover,
$4.95 in paperback, and hard to find in
Lincoln. It isn't a dirty book by any
means, but this is Nebraska and so it's in
the back rooms and under the counters of
many bookstores in town. It belongs out
in front near the cash register.

Thero'o no easy way for Charlie nelson to bscomo Or. fleSson.
But there is a way to make it somewhat easier.
Our way. The Armed Forces Health Professions
Scholarship Program. H won't ioften the demands
of your professors, or those you make upon yourself
but it may free you from those financial problems
which, understandably, can put a crimp in your
concentration.
if you qualify, our scholarship program will cover
the costs of your medical education. Wore, you'll
receive a good monthly allowance all through your
schooling.
But what happens after you graduate?
Then, as a neakh care officer in the military
branch of your choice you enter a professional
environment that is challenging, stimulating and
satisfying.
An environment which keeps you in contact with
practically all medical specialties. Which gives you
the time to observe and learn before you decide on
your specialty. Which may present the opoortunity
to train in that specially. And to practice it.
You may olso find some of the most advanced
medical achievement happening right where you
work. Like at the Brooke Army Medical Center in
San Antonio, Texas, long noted for its Burn freat
rne.'it Center. Or the home of Flight Medicine, the
famed Aerospace Medical Division, a:so in San
Antonio. Or the National Naval Medical Center in
Betheida, Maryland, recognized worldwide for its
work in Medical Research.
And if you've read this far, you may be Interested
in the details. Just send in the coupon and we'll
supply ihem.
