Lool round. ^ There are more than 180 belly dan- yrs in the Bryan-College Station ea, thanks to the A&M Consoli- ited Community Education pro- -am. Jill Courtwright teaches the basic eps and routines to women age 11 to 5. She learned the art in six months private lessons at Omaha, Neb. She said she learned to dance be- iuse, “I thought I was a belly dancer i a past life.” The short, brunette instructor in- grsperses her instruction with lighter and jokes, guaranteed to eep even the shyest woman from ecoming self-conscious. “Try this one when you’re slither- ig up to your boyfriend,” she uggests when displaying a new rove. Courtwright teaches body, shoul- er and hip shimmies, arm rovements, floor movements, head nd rib cage isolation and stomach alls and flutters. A popular act done by a belly ancer is to lie on her back, place a uarter on her stomach and flip it Ford budget cannot create needed jobs Associated Press WASHINGTON—Democrats on he congressional Joint Economic Committee said today that President 'ord s proposed $394-billion budget s so stingy it will point the nation nto another recession while doing ittle to curb inflation or create iceded jobs. In the committee’s annual report, he Democrats called for sharp pending increases, the creation of me million emergency jobs and a Voluntary program to limit wage and mce increases. They said adoption of their re- ■ommendations will result in a total mdget outlay in fiscal 1977 of bet- veen $412 billion and $418 billion, ;ome $16 billion to $24 billion more ban the President proposed. The lew fiscal year begins Oct. 1. The majority report, which was ipposed generally by the commit- ee’s Republicans, also said in creased spending will not add to the federal budget deficit because the [pending will trigger increased tax evenues and cut spending for un- unployment insurance, food stamps md other support programs. The 378-page report bears the itamp of Committee Chairman Hubert H. Humphrey, D-Minn., vho said administration proposals will weaken recoveiy and perhaps nterrupt it altogether. The report ■onstitutes a major Democratic at- :ack on Ford administration Sconomic policies in an election year when the economy will be a major ssue. I he committee’s Republicans, led by Rep. Clarence J. Brown, R-Ohio, iaid the Ford administration’s op timism about the economy will be ustified if Congress can be pre vented from enacting the majority’s recom mendations. However, the GOP minority re port itself said that, “Optimism about the solid recovery which is now underway must be tempered somewhat by the concern for the lin gering unemployment of Americans who have been affected by the recent recession. ” The report said the President’s es timated budget deficit of some $43 billion actually will be nearly $60 billion because of administration over-optimism which the report said “cannot be taken seriously.” Meanwhile, there were these economic developments: —The president of the National Association of Home Builders said Tuesday the government must re duce its role in the housing markets if the industry is to provide people with reasonably priced housing. John C. Hart, an Indianapolis builder, said builders are becoming disenchanted with the rental subsidy program because it is not producing any new housing units. —A new survey of business spend ing plans for this year shows little change from earlier estimates, indi cating a modest contribution to the economic recovery from that sector. —The Senate Finance Committee approved abill raising the limit of the national debt and requiring that a minimum interest be paid on U.S. savings bonds held for at least two months. The measure, which already has won House approval, would require that at least 4 per cent interest be paid on Series E bonds that are held at least two months before redemp tion. Under present rules, no in terest is earned until a bond is held for at least six months. ougias de mm MIGOS: Add these words to your basic vocabulary now, whether or not'you’re planning a trip to Mexico soon.

The last class day of the eight- week course is set aside for a special program. Courtwright said all the beginning and intermediate classes will perform routines. Special attrac tion of the night will be a male belly dancer. Courtwright said the dancer will be a professor from Texas A&M, although she doesn’t know his name. Belly dancing classes were started as a part of the community education program last year, Courtwright said. Since that time, enrollment has grown steadily. She now teaches six classes each week. Courtwright lives with her hus band, Terry, in Bryan. When asked if they have any children, she an swered, “Yes, we have two cats. Sissy and Missy.” Courtwright said many women start her class with a number of in hibitions. She listed them as “flabby arms, flabby butts and flabby bel- ^ eS- Lynn Rossi Attorneys, witness Hearst trial scene of insults Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — For an entire day, Patricia Hearst’s attorney and a government wit ness waged a verbal battle that was a virtual stand-off— and left the defendant all but lost in the war of words. Miss Hearst, on trial for a ter rorist bank robbery, heard her name mentioned fewer than a half-dozen times Tuesday, prompting U.S. District Court Judge Oliver J. Carter to sigh at one point, “We re losing sight of the Hearst trial.” Her attorney, F. Lee Bailey, and psychiatric expert Dr. Joel Fort traded thinly veiled insults and lengthy questions and answers tinged with sarcasm on matters dealing with Fort’s at titudes and qualifications. Bailey was expected to com plete his cross-examination of Fort today, and U.S. Atty. James L. Browning Jr. planned further questions as he tries to prove Miss Hearst was aconvert to terrorism and thus took part in the bank robbery willingly. Miss Hearst says she partici pated only in fear of her life. During the course of one ar gument outside the presence of the jury, the defense counsel conceded that Fort’s testimony suggesting his client willingly became a terrorist was the most damaging yet. Alluding to the jurors, he said, “If they accept his opinion, that’s the end of the case. ” Twice on Tuesday, the judge mildly prodded Bailey to wrap up the interrogation. When he once reminded Bailey that he had said he would finish by the end of the day, the attorney re plied, “I’m trying to get to it but I’m getting some very long answers.” Obviously impatient at times, the attorney snapped at Fort once, “Can’t you answer a ques tion without delivering a lec ture, doctor, or do you insist on it?” Fort replied that lengthy answers were frequently neces sary because Bailey was distort ing his views. “Your way of phrasing ques tions is based on your own lec tures on how to destroy a wit ness you do not like,” argued Fort. Bailey repeatedly attempted to portray Fort as unqualified to declare, as he did Monday, that Miss Hearst was a dedicated member of the Symbionese Liberation Army when it rob bed the Hibernia Bank in April 1974. Fort had said that Miss Hearst, kidnaped by the SLA two months earlier, found an excitement in the underground that she had never known and embraced it vigorously. He testified Tuesday that he received a “death threat last week. The threat was if I tes tified for the U.S. government, I’d be killed.” Bailey asked, “Where did the threat come from?” “I wish I knew, ” Fort replied. “Do you know anything about it, Mr. Bailey?” That comment was stricken from the court record at Bailey’s request.
