Group classes continue
Winter session planned for
Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics
Brent Arthur, Director of the Houston Evelyn Wood
Reading Dynamics Institute, announced early this week that
special Rice group winter classes were being planned to
begin on Thursday, November 10.
Mr Arthur said that a great many requests had been
received by the Institute in the past few weeks from stu-
dents and faculty requesting either late registration for the
class presently in session or for demonstrations of the
Evelyn Wood Method. To meet those requests the Institute
is now scheduling either one or two new classes to begin
November 10. Prior to the commencement of classes de-
monstrations of the Evelyn Wood Method and registration
of new students will be conducted November 4 through
November 9 at Jones College, Will Rice College, and Autry
House (for exact schedules see advertisement at the bottom
of this page).
The Houston Institute has taught over 200 Rice students
the Evelyn Wood Method with an average student increase in
reading efficiency of 5.4 times his beginning rate. However,
Mr. Arthur stated, the progress in the special group classes,
which were first inaugurated last August, has been especial-
ly gratifying, therefore, we are glad for the opportunity
to start at least one more class before the mid-year exams.
(The new students will be reading much faster and com-
prehending far better after completing the course and will
thus be well prepared for their exams by the middle of
January.

Flamenco artistry
Andalusian dancers will perform
By JOHN DUN,LAP
A discussion and concert of
flamenco dancing will be con-
ducted by Luis and Margot
Arroroiri, and by Sara Fernan-
dez y Medina, in the Hanszen
Commons, Friday at 6:45 pm.
The artists are Andalusians
of noble birth whoge finesse
in the art has "come.natural-
ly," largely as a matter of up-
bringing, rather than of pro-
fessional choice. Luis is an
engineer with Shell; Margot a
doctor; and Sara a student.
Members of the Rice com-
munity will have the opportun-
ity to observe at close hand and
in informal surroundings the
colorful dancing which best ex-
presses the complex personality
of: "Andalusia/blessed with

Most theoreticians of the
dance agree that the baile
flamenco is directly descended
from the ancient religious
dances of the Indian Hindus.
The arm and hand movements
and the footwork above all,
have a striking affinity, al-
though in other ways the two
forms have grown apart; fla-
menco has evolved as a much
more forceful and overwhelm-
ing art, more directly emotional
to uninitiated audiences.
In its present form it repre-
sents an alimbication, if not a
purification of the highly civi-
lized Brahmanic temple dances,
having over a 3,000 year history
returned to a more natural and
primitive art form concerned
primarily with the expression
of oneself and one's emotion.
Although flamenco evolved
through the centuries under
the artistic stewardship of such

diverse groups as Gypsies,
Moors, Russians, Persians, Mes-
opotanians, Hungarians, Rom-
ans, and Visigoths, its locus of*
development since the Middle
Ages has been Andalusia.
Although at first the dance
led a hidden, semi-underworld
existence there, the noble fami-
lies eventually came to encour-
age its growth as a "respect-
able" art, one distinct from the
O
troubadour tradition, and one
in which proficiency might
come to be regarded as essen-
tial to good breeding.
Before the close of the 18th
century King Carlos IV and
Queen Maria Luisa had in fact
achieved some fame as expon-
ents of the art of flamenco
guitar.
Conferences ask
for participation
by Rice students
Opportunities are available
for Rice students to participate
in a number of conferences,
through the sponsorship of the
Student Senate.
"The New Europe and the
United States" will be the
topic of the 12th Student Con-
gress of National Affairs
(SCONA), at Texas A&M Uni-
versity, December 7-10. The
Senate has approved funds for
3 delegates, and interested per-
sons can contact James Doyle,
JA 3-3767, for information. Ap-
plications must be filed by
Tuesday.
A planning session to outline
specific areas of study and to
determine courses of action
which would be supportive of
legislation beneficial to the
migrant worker, a student re-
sponse to the summer march to
Austin, will be held at Our Lady
of the Lake College, San An-
tonio, Texas, November 18 and
19.
Rice has been invited to send
one or two students to partici-
pate in the program. Applicants
who are familiar with the prob-
lems of the migrant worker
should contact James Doyle
immediately, as the Senate
must notify planners of accept-
ances by November 9.
