Develops Poise,
Coordirnat ion

an idea in movement rather than
presenting it in a story is the con-
cern of modern dance," according
to members of the University Mod-
ern Dance Club.
Unlike ballet, the movements in
Modern Dance are freer, more nat-
ural and less formally organized.

Juana de Laban, the Modern
Dance Club at the University is
organized to give those students
interested in this art more op-
portunity to study the techniques
of dance and to learn and perform

WAA To Aim at 10(
The WAA will strive again this
year for 100 per cent participation
in sports by all women on cam-
pus.
When a woman joins a house
team, goes out for an individual
sport or joins a sports club her
participation is recorded for her
house. Points are given for team
membership, club membership
and campus tournament partici-
pation. Additional points are
awarded for winning tournaments,
team or individual, and all of these
points go on the house record.
To have 100 per cent partici-
pation a house must have each
woman who is a member of the
group participate in two sports

9% Partici ation
during the school year. It is pos-
sible to take part in more than
two sports and thus accumulate
additional points and have more
than 100 per cent participation.
During orientation freshman
and transfers will be introduced
to the WAA and will be able to
talk to the club managers about
their plans in the athletic line.
Basketball
Carrying on with a plan organ-
ized last term. women basketball
players in the Basket Ball Club

sions on the basis of skill.
