Latest Dances Indecent.
There are dances and dances, but
the latest importations are scarcely of
such a nature that they can even be
termed decent. The Turkey Trot,
the Grizzly Bear, the Bunny-Hug and
the Bear-Cat are all of so sensuous a
nature that they should not be toler-
ated at any dance.
From their inception these dances
had their purpose and end in the sen-
sual movements that are not even
pretty and which, no matter by whom
they are countenanced, can never be
raised to such a level that they would
be called good dances. The beauti-
ful old waltz and the characteristic
American two-step were mighty good
dances, and no one objected strongly
when the Boston was introduced, but
there is a limitto everything.
Several years ago the introduction
of these dances, which are not new liy
any means, at a theatrical perform-
ance called forth the bitter condem-
nation of the press. Even now a bur-
lesque company eannot present the
Grizzly Bear with variations such as
are countenanced in Ann Arbor with-
out having the poliee ask the manager
to expurgate the bill. In the large
public dance halls of any large- city,
the management will not allow the
performance of these dauces. They
have proved a menace, and in so doing
fulfill their original object.
When public halls and certain the-
aters do not permit these dances, so-
ciety, in general and in particula- at
this university, ought not to counten-
ance them.
It may be the inordinate craving
for something new or the desire 'for
the bizarre and strange but the gener-
al tendency is a bad one. This is an
institution to which the people of the
state look for the realization of
their dream of what education should
accomplish. They lookt up to the un-
dergraduate as possessing a certain
amount of knowledge, culture and
moral principle, yet if the social side
of the student tends only in the deca
dent direction, what are the several

It was quite a mouthful when some-
one spoke of the esteemed Council
as being nearly as obstinate as the
street door at the Union.
Prof. Bigelow to Talk in Midland.
Prof. S. Lawrence Bigelow, of the
department of physical chemistry, lec-
tures in Midland this evening, on the
extension series, on "Science in the
Service of 'Get-Rich-Quick' Schemes."

millions of citizens to do? If their
unversity fails, where else can they
turn for inspiration?
The tendency is not general, but has
become quite noticeable of late. It
hardly seems right to see the college
student engaged in dances that had
their origin in the lowest dives, and
which never rose any higher than
their authors intended them to.
An absolute prohibition should be
placed upon these dances. This can be
accomplished by the individual and
such a reform would be better than a
set of rules. Let everyone refuse to
participate in such exhibitions and the
tendency would at once be arrested.
