Monkey See Monkey Do . . .
Collegians Like to Be Where Action Is
"I LIKE IT. I LIKE IT" and Ken
Koon really digs this latest dance
craze ihe Frug.
By EDNA BYRD
Assume a deadpan expression Then
Uutch and shake a little because at all
college dances including those at McMurry
the beat is blue and the Shake is the thing
Who wants to talk nowadays on the
dance flooi or who can talk because the
music foices a person to dance It knocks
him light out of his scat and he finds him-
self making like a Chicken a Bud a Fish
a Monkey and a Dog Then the next thing
he knows he's caught up in the Surf and
lies got to Swim But wait the music
has really bewitched him this time because
he keeps waving his hands and feet and
calling lus partner "Ficddie"
When lie starts twitching sexily from side
to side while he makes slow and sensuous
gestures with his hands one can bo sure
that the Frug has gotten undei his skin
Finally he may begin to twitch and scratch
his entire body as if infested with insect
1 fe and then he pass he Bug on to his
paitner
ALL OF THESE DANCES prove that to-
day the Twist is for the squares Accoid-
mg to Tune magazine in place of the Twist
is a series of anations around the theme
"stay-put " For centuries dancing has m-
oled some form of horizontal motion but
the population explosion has said goodbye
to nil that A couple can only stake Us
claim to a piece of ground and stay there
dancing as if in an imaginary phone booth
Although the feet arc supposedly looted
to the spot there is plenty of motion
pchit cran al and gesticulatoij
Di Alexander Ungary McMuny lustorj
professoi feels that the moemcnts of thise
new dances show that society is ieeiting
back to a pnmitne stage and the Fiug
the Monkey and the Jeik remind him of
tribal or ceiemonial dances Dr Ungvaiy
asked his Western Civilization class one day
if the dances in the cages as seen on the
television show Hullabaloo symbolized self
captivity FiLshman Maiy Ljnn Melton
stated that this form of dancing provided a
release of cneigy "Is a cage necessarj'"
asked Ungvary Norma Hughes senior
answeicd "Well no sn but would you like
to let somebody like that loose'"
Dr Ungvary was puzzled about the origin
of the Frug until Gordon Fiey assured him
that he didn't know where it started "but
it didn't stait around here"
Dancing is suposed to be an cxpiession of
beauty as seen in the old-fashioned dancts
such as the waltz but "I fail to see beauty
in these strange gymnastics" commented Dr
Ungvary.

SENIOR RICK KIRKENDALL likes these
new dances because "they keep the bodj fit
and the mind alert' Evelyn Ansley fiesh-
man confesses that the ' Frug and the Mon-
key may be good foi the soul but thev aie
haid on the hack "
' Fast-dancing is a good wa to let off
steam" sajs fieshman Maiiljn Gamino
while Joe Fulton feels that ' it is both iela-
ing and intoi turning" Why does Teiry
Wheelei like to jeik and fiug' 'Because
they make me gun1"
Put Claik Benham on the dance flooi and
he'll dance any dance that anjono wants to
do but Pat Lewis piefets the Dog because
"it's ciude" and he can let off "ctia encigy "
THE MOST FASHIONABLE DANCING
these das accoiding to Times magaine is
done at the discotheque which is ically
nothing but a highbrow ersion of a juke
joint plus a disk jockey The latest dance
ciaze the GoGo is the pioduet of Los
Angeles' two-month-old discotheque the
Whiskey a GoGo McMuny pioduced its
own Cram 'a GoGo when the fieshman class
hosted its all school paity this jlmi
To dance the GoGo couples stand station-
ary while their heads arc back and foith
and their arms chop up and down In this
position they twist twitch and bounce for
liouis In a glass-walled booth suspended
from the ceiling over the GoGo's
Go Going couples a coed puts on
new records and dances it by
herself That way it's called the
Watutsi
THESE NEW DANCES all call
for more than just learning the
dance one has to feel it and
Hogei Stansbuiy sophomore
leully gets with it on the dance
floor because he "likes the moves
of the Jerk and the Frug " Fresh-
man Gordon Ilubcnak thinks that
the Jerk is "hard to do" but Bill
Moore says "It's fun when I'm
dancing with someone who knows
how to dance "
In spite of the fact that this
new dance craze may be stimu-
lating and moving for some for
those who still cling to the old-
fashioned soft romantic mood
music the waltz and the rumba
may not be new; but I like them
how about you?
