Class for Every Need; Even 'Two Step' Course
Every phase of education is provided for at KU.
There are courses in shrubs, statistics and silversmithing—and everything else necessary for a well-rounded college curriculum.
There's even a course in the art of the social dance. Not for the ballet, mind you; or the Highland fling, but just in the practice of the basic two step (and variations thereof).
So if you want to know how to execute the largest step-close-step-together with rhythm and fluid grace, or learn the secret of controlled relaxation and "plasticity" of movement. . . enroll in this educational activity. You get credit, too.
The course has been so popular in the past that enrollment was to be limited to 80 this semester. There are now 42 women in the class who are scheduled a week for a half hour's credit. And students are still clamoring to get in.
The class is held on the main floor basketball court at Robinson gym, and when in session looks like a lively hour dance in full swing.
Music played on an old upright piano ranges from "Tenderly" to "Ragtime" and the dancers, except for a few with stepped-on toes, look almost as though they were having a good time.
"Altogether now, let's practice the 'rocking step'" she suggests, and immediately the class begins rocking around the room.
Once in awhile, Miss Shirley Hughes, their attractive young instructor, interrupts to demonstrate a new step. And it's fairly certain this is one class lecture that isn't slept through.
This step,by the way, is explained at great length in that manual-for-the-uninitiated, "The Art of Social Dance." The rock is a variation of the "hesitation" with a motion like—well, rocking.

The "beginners" class, now concentrating on basic fox trot rocking and jitterbug jumping, will learn also how to waltz and samba the first half of the semester. Second half, they qualify as an "advanced" class and continue their study of

the various hops, shuffles and toddlers.
What better way to meet 40 men (or women) who know how to swing their partners (two-step style)—or gain such worthwhile training in poise, perfect balance and the smooth level glide?

Refurnish Tables In Bacteriology
Three laboratories in the bacteriology department have been refurnished with new steel laboratory tables accommodating 90 students.
"This is a new arrangement of the most modern equipment as far as lighting and convenience go," Prof. E. Lee Treece, chairman of the department, said. Each table is equipped with cup sinks, microscope lights, and gas and electrical outlets.
The old furniture was used in the laboratories since Snow hall was built in 1930. It was torn out after the summer session, and the installation was completed last week with the exception of one room.
