Page 2 E AST CAROLINIAN Dance Away Tension Twist Slipped Discs, Criticism Fails To Halt Twisters Like it or not . . . the Twist is unavoidable. From beaches, fraternity parties, college dances, high school dances, kindergarten parties, dance studios to just about anywhere you turn, you turn to the "dance craze" that continues to keep the country wiggling. Compared to many dances, the Twist has been the ob- ject of extensive criticism . . . called vulgar and obscene. Most of the criticism seems to come from those who have not yet learned the dance and for 'various reasons don't care to. Perhaps these critics were opposed to the Big Apple, the Black Bottom, the Charleston, and other dances popular around the '20's. Why the Twist has been compared to the Shimmy . . . we can't understand. Both are vigorous dances, but beyond that we see no resemblance. The original Twist has given way to the Peppermint Twist in most areas in the US . . this verson is even less sensuous (as some have labeled it) than the original and certainly the Shimmy, Black Bottom and others. In the past, dances similar to the Twist have originated. During periods of confusion and tension typical of our times energetic expressions of taunt feelings have emmitted them- selves in the form of such dances. Youth continues to re- lieve tension brought on by daily catastrophes felt in per- sonal, local and international affairs. The Twist is not common only in the US it has reached countries abroad. British doctors believe they will benefit from the craze the dance has spread in Britain, with the fear that "Britons are going to wind up with slipped discs Dr. Hames Cyriax, British surgeon said in a lecture recently, "The twist involves radiating the trunk on the pel- vis, or the pelvis on the trunk, while the spinal joints are bent backwards or forwards . . . sometimes to the full. "The alternating rotation at extremes of range is well calculated to damage a cartilage in both lumbar and thoracic spinal joints. This leads to recurrent displacements In spite of slipped discs and acute criticism, you can't escape the Twist. Council Attacks Litterbugs A noble effort goes into effect Saturday when the Na- tional Panhellenic Council is sponsoring a campus clean-up. Each sorority has been assigned a different section of the campus to comb for trash and litter. To stage such a project is admirable, but to have the necessity for such a project is slightly less than admirable. Litterbugs are always up to their same old dirty habits ? ? . keeping up their trash-tossing terrorism. The campus has about 5,000 litterbugs . . . everyone has a little litterbug LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS "IS wW-1 lfe want? to kndvv htowzt Noxe anywim rot- 6TfN6r Snow Blanket Covers Campus; Tranquility Hides Imperfections in him.

Alpha Phi Omega Fraternity By MONTY MILLS Tiny, geometrically designed don normally flakes of swirling snow have blanketed the campus in a vivid Currier anl Ives fashion. Students have been rejuvenated physically and emotionally with this wonder of Nature. iSnow which is merely another form of precipitation just as rain is, is welcomed with open arms while winter rains are dreaded. People come alive when the first flakes beg-in to stick and grow in mounds, while rain is sullenly ac- cepted and endured. Why does this white phenomenon transforms peo- ple and scenery in a most effective way when rain lessens their virili- ty? A snowfall provides a multitude of reasons for deviation from the everyday pattern of life. For some, snow offers a legitimate excuse to return to the carefree days of youth, when life was just one round of fun and play. Routines, follow-
