Oddly enough,, the Aggie members have little difficulty'in securing dates for the meetings). Newest member of the lo|cal dancing circles is the Faculty Squares. It was founded last week and will run in much the same man ner as its student counterpart. Favorite dances with the squa dance enthusiasts are such varii tions as Dive for the iy •nri i » vT i»Rtm TT TITginia kansas Traveler, Texas 7 Star, Sally Goodin', and Double S Members, however, pie not verse to an occasional shottish, polka, put-your-tittle-foot, dr fox trot. / Even though most of the square dances are fairly standard, the sty les diffep greatly from one town ,l :i to another. Even the local clubs vary among one another. The dif ference can usually be found in the method the “caller” employs to lead the dancing. Phonographs' usually furnish the music for the dance, but instru mental groups, are hired occasion- aly. The Aggie Ramblers have played for several dances this year. A standard rule with all of the local claim is “No stags allowed.” This does not in, the least k«ep the clubs from furnishing a brand of good clean, strictly s American recreation. So popular is the craze, in fact, that cities such as Houston, Dal las, and Austin have developed sim ilar epidemics of barn-dance revel ers.
