 The ''Shimmy' dance must go; the 'Cheek" dance has been barred and the '"Tickletoe" is taboo. No more will young couples rythmically balance back and forth over the pollsned floor of the new gymnasium, wrigg1ing and writhing in an indifferent imitation of a colored cakewalk. The frantic clasp of the mai den's arm about the neck of her stalwart partner has been gently but firmly re- leased.
 Notices have been publicly posted an- nouncing that all dances in the gymna- sim must be given under the direction of Captain Orr, physical director; that the shimmy. cheek and tickletoe dances, or similar dances under any other name,
 
 violating these rules will be denied the privileges of the floor. The rules were promulgated after conference between the college and athletic authorities and hence are official.
