$4,000 Contributors

The University of Pennsylvania
received $1,123,000 in the past year
from q, 900 contributors to it's Alu-
mni Annual Giving Program, set
ting new records for both dollars
and donors, Stewart NJ Walker,
general chairman, reported a t
night.
The program surpassed it's prev
ious all-time high of $1,006,031
from 21,178 contributors in 1960-61,
a performance that had won T
Pennsylvania an award of the Am

the 1961-62 goal of $1,100,000.
Known as 1.-The 1862 Pennsylvan-

23,3OO alumni and alumnae, SOC

Square Dance
Time

Tt has often been said h a
square dancing is 10y in motion"
That definition would certainly fit
last Saturday nights dance when
over five squares of home folks as
well as the visitors from Seaford
welcomed back Herb Keyes, who
will also be our club caller for the
coming season Next season We
will be dancing on the second and
fourth Saturdays, SO be sure to
mark the new dates on your call
endar
Did you ever wonder how Ameri-
can square dancing originated?
Dorothy Scott Shaw of Colorado
Springs has done quite a bit of
research on this subject and traces
its beginning to two main sources :
the English Country Dance and the
Ballroom Dance of French Aris-
tocracy plus Spanish Church
dances. Of course, there have been
many variations, additions an d
deletions. The dance nearly died
out during the first part of the
10th century. In rural commune
ties where there were active
oranges square dances were held,
but the callers, trying to remem-
Der what their daddies had done,
had a more and more limited
repertory, the music became for
lorn and style was lost.
Then in 1926 Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Ford built fine dance hall in
Greenfield Village in Dearborn,
Michigan and hired Mr.. Benjamin
Lovett, an outstanding research
man, as teacher and dancing mas
ter. But the western" part of
square dancing was not incorpo-
rated until 1889 when Lloyd Shaw,
after much research, published
Cowboy Dances, a big book that
filled in Henry Ford's gaps. For
years Lloyd Shaw conducted sum-
mer classes, where he taught
teachers how to present the whole
American folk dance. Other in
stitutes sprang up all over h e
country. Once more, from shore to
shore, thousands, then millions of
people were dancing.
Sitting in a balcony and watch
ing a floor full of dancers at an
International Square Dance Festi-
val in Chicago watching the un-
folding of stars and circles, grills
and boxes a learned man who
had never seen a large square
dance before was heard to remark,
This is the most beautiful thing
| ever saw! The most beautiful
and the most significant"
No wonder square dancing is
growing by leaps and bounds all
over the country and in So foreign
countriesi You, too, can become a
part of this vast movement. ALI

ginners are starting this fall.

he singled out these as being riost

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico
The 1872 winter wave of vis-
itors is Swamping hotel profess
sionals here with inquiries
about Puerto Rican life, Gus
toms. dress and beach attire,
the weather - and vacation
spending.
Hotel hostesses and public re-
lations exponents profess great
astonishment at some of the
questions posed.
But if these inquiries expose
a surprising ignorance of con-
ditions and circumstances
Puerto Rican, they demonstrate
likewise an avid mainland Curl
oSity and interest.
Moreover, if all visitors to
Puerto Rico accept every claim
and statement, some will suffer
disappointmentS, perhaps make
embarrassing mistakes and be
forced to spend money they
don't anticipate spending, can
not afford, and which may not
be necessary.
This is not to disparage San
Juan and Puerto Rico, as a
winter vacation Eden wit h
charms-many of them unique
-rivaling the worlds finest
oases of rest, play, diversion
and luxury. On the contrary
full enjoyment of the islands
Superlative assets can be stim-
ulated by recognition and ac-
ceptance of a few facts OF
Puerto Rican life.
Which Train?
The chic, pert Puerto Rican
public relations mistress of a
swank San Juan beach hos
telry is easily forgiven for small
dismay over a letter from the
United States Midwest which
inquired: What train do !
catch to get to San juan?
On the other hand, visitors
accustomed to mainland win
ter vacations might under
standably inquire - as they
have-about what clothes to
bring; how much knowledge of
Spanish is needed to get
around; how much to tip and
how much food and taxis will
cost.
To have the best time pos
sible in Puerto Rico, visitors
need the answers to a good
many questions.
Put away thoughts that an
Island vacation is likely to be
extraordinarily cheap.
With the exception of thrift
class airplane fare - the great
est travel bargain in the world
today - a trip to Puerto Rico is
likely to parallel almost exact
ly, costs of a similar jaunt to
Florida at corresponding levels
of comfort and luxury. Food
may cost a little more.
Taxi fare matches the aver
age on the mainland, as does
drive-yourself car rental. Just
as in Chicago or Miami or
wherever, taxi drivers don't al
ways break a leg to follow the
shortest routes of travel. Bus
fare is dirt cheap - 10 cents
in San Juan - and will take

to go.
For relatively long-r a ng {
touring on the Island, there is
a special bargain - fast ano
inexpensive transportation ev-
erywhere in "Publicos";; auto
mobiles owned by the govern
ment, usually crowded.
Fares on the "Publicos" run
about one fifth of the cost OF
formal tours, give passengers
an intimate and entertaining, il
noisy and crowded, participa-
ton in Puerto Rican life.
About Tipping
Tipping in Puerto Rico is just
what it is on the United States
mainland: Around is per cent
in fashionable hostelries and
night clubs; about 10 per cent
in spots and circumstances less
elaborate. Cigarettes are high
priced; the Puerto Rico tax is
81 cents a pack. General pur-
chaseS - beach robes, bathing
suits, sun glasses, newspapers
paper-back books, ETC., run
higher than at home.
In the matter of clothes, mis-
takes can be discomforting OF
expensive, or both.
Light casual and dress sweat
ers or wraps should go in every
wardrobe. Second, leisure dress
ing differs from that in winter
resorts on the mainland in two
respects.
Dress for beach and swim
ming pool lounging, and fol-
street wear, is visibly more re-
strained - by no means formal
than for the mainland coun-
terparts of leisure spots.
For evenings, either a long
dress or a dinner jacket would
be conspicuous in even the
Swankiest hotels and night
clubs. The custom is dark suits
