For Dance Class Favorite
By ARLINE LEWIS
The mambo, biggest dance craze-
since the days of the Lindy Hop,
will be taught at the League
Dance Classes for the second year.
Along with instruction in other
popular Latin American dances,
such as the rumba, tango and sam-
ba, instructor John Urbanic will
teach the mambo. Urbanic, who
has been teaching dancing for six
years, told of a growing intreest in
the mambo which bias even rivaled
enthusiasm for the Charleston,
long a campus favorite.
According to the dance instruc-
tor, the mambo is relatively sim-
ple once the rhythm is understood.
Knowledge of the rumba is rec-
ommended for an easier transition.

centuation of the offbeat.
Originating in Cuba after World
War II, the mambo resulted from
experimentation with variations in
offbeat rhythm by musicians who
were bored with the rumba. In
Cuban mambo rr.3ans crazy.
Colorful Movements
Vacationing professionals from
Miami observed the new Latin
dance and brought it back to the
United States in 1949. It became
popular in night club perform-
ances, where its colorful move-
ments attracted much attention.
In Miami, dancing'" teachers
watching mambo exhibitions at-
tempted to dance t iemselves. Stu-
dents enrolling in dance classes
began to ask for mambo instruc-
tion.
Not since the bouncing jitterbug
of 1935 has a dance so captured
America. Growing in popularity,
the mambo has intrigued the danc-
ing public, and attracted listeners
as well.

"Technical instruction given in
America is the best in the world,
and Pakistan is very appreciative
of the fact that its students can
come to America and get this in-
struction," S. G. Khaliq, attache
from the Pakistan Embassy said.
Khaliq, who is cultural and edu-
paintings and art work He also
supervises programs of the songs
and dances of his native country
in addition to making speeches on
many occasions.
Attends Class
While at the University he at-
tended a class in Near Eastern
studies, history 160, and spoke to
the students.
Khaliq stated that the student
exchange program is extremely
useful in promoting understand-
ing between different countries.
He explained that this was a
means which should lead to friend-
ship and peace in the world.
"Pakistani men receive good
treatment in the United States,"
Khaliq declared.,"When they re-
turn to Pakistan they act as un-
official goodwill ambassadors for
the United States.
After studying here, Pakistani
students return to their homeland
and enter the scientific and cul-
tural fields there.
American Women
Khaliq mentioned that ii Amer-
ica women appear very active. He
also thought that the tempo of
life here is extremely fast
In order for a student to come
to America on the student -ex-
change plan he must have a good
cultural and academic background.
After applications are examined
carefully, the best five or 10 ap-
plicants are chosen to come to
the United States.
"In Pakistan there is no such
thing as dating," he remarked.
"Marriages are arranged by the
parents. The more educated wom-
en do not get married until they
are 20 while the other women be-
gin marrying at about 16."
Khaliq expressed the immense
pride which he feels in the Paki-
stani students studying through-
out the United States.
The Pakistani representative
has spent the last three years in
the United States, living in Wash-
ington, D C. He plans to return
to his native country sometime
this year.
