A strictly student organizati jn,
the Aggie Squares, was conceited
last fall. 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

and will run in much the same man
ner as its student counterpart.

dance enthusiasts are such varii

Members, however, pie not

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. It looks like Texans “air a-
