Iran deal Reports say Shultz on verge of quitting
November 10, 1986
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Controversy yesterday surrounded the U.S.-Iranian arms deal that reportedly bought freedom for captive Americans, with reports Secretary of State George Shultz might quit and warnings the deal "guarantees the continued taking of hostages."

Studio of Kansas City, Mo.
Instructors from the studio would
travel to offer workshops in
Topeka, Wichita, St. Louis and
Lawrence, she said.
After the first six weeks in the dance studio, Witt earned her beginner's certificate.
For every six-week interval after that, the studio awarded a separate certificate — beginner, browz, silver and gold.
Her latest certificate, dated March 19, 1976, reads: 'Flamingo Studio Bella Dance Award: This diploma certifies that Virginia Witt has successfully passed the required Gold standard and achieved the grade of Gold Professional.'
Tina Blue, a University of Kansas lecturer in English, and Witt have been friends since they met while training in 1975.
"When I first joined, I was old enough to be some of the girls' grandmother, but they treated me as one of the girls." Witt said.
Blue, Witt and a few others formed the KU Belly Dance Club in 1974
The club gathered people who were interested in learning the art of belly dancing, said Blue, whose stage name is "Naam." It taught people how to ballet dance and sponsored benefit performances for local charities.
Many members of the club, at that time, traveled to the East and West coasts to study other dancers' techniques and then returned to Lawrence to teach the others, she said.
"We pretty much got involved in our personal lives and had to go our separate ways," Blue said. "Most of us still dance to keep in shape and just for the fun of it as well."
Since then, the club has become less active simply because the members have other obligations, she said.
Blue, who said many members still kept in contact with each other, remembers what it was like from the beginning.
"Virginia has been very active in the area. She always sticks with it and she makes friends very easy." Blue said.
"She is particularly interesting because she started at the age she did. Audiences are crazy about Virginia because she is at that age and in very good shape. They really love her performance."
Witt said she took her cue from the music and the crowd.
"You have to listen to the mood of the music so that you feel it. You have to be relaxed.
"You just enjoy it. When you are around a good crowd, the more they enjoy it, the more you enjoy it.
"You work so many muscles that when you're through, you're soaking wet."
Witt said she had studied the main varieties of belly dancing, including Greek, Arabic, Persian, Turkish, Armenian and Israeli.
Blue said that Beledi developed a misnomer when it came to the United States since the emphasis is not necessarily on the abdominal region.
She can dance all these varieties, but her favorites are the Greek and the Arabic, which involve slow, sensual movements.
The Spanish flamenco dance, the Hawaiian hula, some Plains' Indian dances and others may be traced back to the Middle-Eastern dance, she said.
Most parts of the world, she said, have their own interpretations of style.
The word Beledi really means "native rhythm or native dance," she said.
"I have enjoyed dancing, and I have met so many interesting people," she said. "If I had to do it again, I would do it twice as much."

"Lynch him!" the multitude shouts. "He's un-American. Just look at his shoes!"
I make my stand.
"Isn't this America?" I cry. "Can't I wear bell bottoms and listen to Menudo records if I want?"
"No!" the ringleader, an older, authoritarian type with a rope, yells. "There'll be no more of your liberal malaise, your fashion lenience!"
I jump. My leg hurts after I hit the ground, but I run anyway. I run and stumble and run again, into the dark. The crowd follows me, throwing stones and empty
Polo cologne bottles.
Now a rock wall appears from nowhere. I've got no place to go, and the crowd is closing in. Things will get unpleasant and very ugly.
I'm trapped.
Nooooo!
That's when I woke up, with a shot. I got up and went to my closet.
There. I towed with the cuffed sleeves of my Levi's jean jacket. I rubbed my hands across my 501s. I smoothed out the wrinkles in my Christian Dior shirt.
And I breathed easily — I was no different from anyone else.
My clothes were normal. I was normal. I would not be an outcast; no one, by God, would stare at me.
I am safe.
