... developing a communal feeling through ethnic dances
International Dance Club Follows Instructor Steve Resovich
Dances Foster Sensitivity
"Side-behind - split - one-two, three-hop-side . . ." No, it's not Arthur Murray, nor is it Fried Atiaret. It is the KU-IN competition Club, which meets Friday night in Robinson Gymnasium.
"Authentic ethnic dance" is the stated goal of Steve Resiovich, teacher for the club and inductee to the Cathedral in Kansas City, Kan.
Dances from Europe, Asia and Africa are learned by the group
(which numbers from 15-30 people on a given night) under Resovich's tuteelage.
Resovich is enthusiastic about what dance can accomplish.
"Folk dance achieves the same needs, as sensitivity training wakes up an individual's sensitivity training," he said. "It develops a communal feeling as well as an individual's ability to respond."
"I come because it's a nice communal feeling," said dance enthusiast Joann Hanceck.
echoing Resovich.
Discover the common bonds between people and their cultures is another, related purpose of the International Dance Club.
"In ethnic cultures, one of the first expressions of the culture was dance," Reswich said. "There are universities in every country's dance that you know and learn from point of view, it is then desirable for students." "Dance cuts across divisions of people in terms of
age, race, sex and culture." Resovich said.
The International Dance Clua-
was founded four years ago to
develop a performing group that
could do University perfor-
mance and training in Resovich,
SUA has funded the group the last two years.
"I'd like to work up a group who could reflect well on what the University has done." There ought to be 200 people missing it, they're really missing something.
Critters Common on Campus
Skunks Permeate Area
By PENNY NEDROW Kansan Staff Writer
Human beings are not the only living creatures that inhabit the University of Kansas campus. Many persons throughout the years have encountered these and experienced with fear and amusement.
One of these encounters involved a skunk. Four girls were about to leave Snow Hall one morning, and she became frightened when they saw a skunk inside the door and in their way, and called the campus police. LI, E. W. Fenner told the story, and the rescue went to the rescue.
He walked over to the scented animal and softly said, "Come on, Stinky," calling him by name. "Move on now. These girls want you."
THE SKUNK, on seeing the officer's badge and realizing his bushes are into some bushes and disappeared around the building. The officer told the building conversation, questioned the officer's friendship with the bushes.
Fenstemaker explained.
"Stinky is Snow Hall's mastet. He's really pretty nice when he gets to know you." According to the lieutenant, most of KU's skunks are used to people—the young ones are still to be feared.
Fenstemaker related another encounter with skunks several years ago.
“There are lots of skunks here,” Fenstemaker said. “They find lots to eat around the stadium.”
"Four baby skunks fell into a window well of the nurses' home, which is now the KU Mental Hospital. The nurses called us. We used ether to put the skunks to sleep, but didn't have enough. One of them just got out and fell down. Three went to sleep and we put them under a bush. We instructed the nurses to care for their new patients. Eventually, the skunks lived.
Fnestmaker recalls one other experience with a campus skunk. The campus police were feeding

Box turtles are another common inhabitant of the hill country, and fifteen to thirty turtles are caught each year and taken to the safety box.
TWO BLACK SNAKES have also shared our environment.
"One was found near Strong Sixteen years ago," Fenstemacher said. Next up, he held it on his chalk marker stick, normally used to hold the knife. Then he clamped his hand around its mouth, and the snake wrapped around it.

"They could see a snake inside so they brought it to the Traffic and Security office. We tried to get it out, but we couldn't see enough of it."
"The snake had crawled inside through the punched holes in the beer can, but was unable to back out once he started in." Fentmaker said. "We opened the bottle and took a 30%-inch long black snake."

"Other inhabitants of KU include mole crickets, which live in the yard," he said. "A breed of cockroaches that live in the garage, near Maliott." Fennemaker told me, "and they did four-in-one and one-length inch wide. They're so big that if you step on them, they pull your foot in the hole.

Douglas also has been an advocate of complete freedom of the land, known as an ardent conservationist, who joined protest marches and hikes through wilderness areas to build planned construction of dams.
Douglas, now in his 32nd year on the Supreme Court, has been a vocal supporter of him because of his Liberal views. He has been amenable to anti-war cases and has generally taken the position on numerous decisions.
Controversy has surrounded Douglas in the last few years when several marriages and his assocaed partners' organizations which are alleged to have connections with Douglas but Butcher have Douglas impeached have failed.
