Conduct in Centers Seen as
Problem by Social Workers

ones conduct and dress in dancing
as well as in any. other activity.
Other interests must be kept alive
also. No person should live to
dance.
There has been some criticism
in iitterbug dancing, MIR. Ruther-
ford said, not only in this city, but
in others from vario Is parts If
the nation. Many bathrooms refuse
to allow It, because OF poor conduct
on the part Of the rowdy element,
but that should not mean discon-
tinuaton Of such entertainment in
properly regulated centers.
Young people, themselves, he
said, realize the conditions TO which
too much thought Of dancing, and
too little thought OF the home and
civic matters, lead The matter
has been discussed at length in
meetings of the Negro Progressive
League aud the conclusion has
been that young people Of the ma
ton should take a more serious
attitude towards their municipal
problems. and towards the post

Among problems OF social work.
ers appears to be, in increasing
proportion, the question Of conduct
in social centers, particularly on
dance floors. The effect of Utter
music is battling, sociologists say,
because in some communities no
bad results are noticeable while
from others come reports OF oDjec-
tionable language, fights and even
cutting ARRAYS To retain dancing
for those who deserve and enjoy it,
and to restrain those who abuse the
privilege, there has been launched
Good Conduct campaign to EN-.
phasize the importance Of gentle
manly behavior.
In Ypsilanti, as in most cities,
there have been objections to iit-
ter bugging based on the fear that
it might lead TO undesirable situa-
tions. While social workers are
not inclined TO encourage this par
ticular type OF dancing, they are
pretty generally agreed upon the
need for well conducted social cen
tiers and dance rooms.
Commenting on the subject to
day, Jesse Rutherford, director OF
the Carver Community Center, eN-
pressed the opinion that dancing IS
one OF the most desirable forms Of
entertainment. not only because
OF the exercise It provides. but on
account Of the opportunity which IT
offers for social advancement.
