Twenty Coeds
To Interpret
Four Dances
One of the headline numbers
which will be featured on the com
ing Odeon program scheduled for
Monday, April 23, will be a group
of modern dances, arranged and
presented by Orchesis, the modern
dance honorary. Following in the
footsteps of last year's Modern
Dance group which was respons
ible for the smash hit dance of the
1943 Odeon, “Night on Basin
Street,” the newly organized Or
chesis has planned a program
based on variety and individual
movement.
Although there has been no at
tempt to develop a dance number
employing two members such as
was illustrated by “Night on Basin
Street,” a modernistic, bizarre
choreography of the jazz age, this
coming Monday’s program will
present a group interpretation of
national types and customs as il
lustrated by the following titles:
“The Country Gentlemen,” “Rhum
ba,” “the Negro Spiritual,” and
“Tango.”
Modern Interpretation
According to Pearl Peterson,
president of the group and head of
the modern dance contribution to
Odeon, these dances have been de
veloped through the choreography
of the dancers which means that
the routines have been composed
part by part as the dancers moved
or responded to their individual
interpretation of the music. This
device of composition, which con
centrates primarily upon move
ment, not only of the legs and
arms but also of the entire trunk,
is one of the more modernistic
dance techniques, according to Miss
Peterson.
The initial performance of Or
chesis was held Tuesday afternoon,
April 17, before a meeting of the
sponsors of Phi Beta. This pro
gram was presented to afford the
group an idea of the dance educa
tion offered by the University and
included a review of techniques
and the four dances.
Adviser to the group is Miss
Rosamond Wentworth, assistant
professor of physical education,
who helped originate the group
after the termination of the form
er modern dance group, Master
Dance.

Stay at Home’ Theme of Y Convention
The YWCA national convention
held throughout the United States
by more than 1006 separate “Y”
associations will be celebrated this
evening in a “stay at home’’ con
vention at the campus YWCA
bungalow. This meeting, charac
teristic of the gerat number of
local “Y” conventions, was prompt
ed by the postponement of the an
nual national convention generally
held at some central city.
Co-chairmen Beatrice Rise and
Virginia Beattie have announced
their committees as follows: Mrs.
C. A. Barnes, leadership chairman,
assited by Elma Lou Subbard,
Marie Schimelfenig, and Mary Cor
rigan; Mrs. E. E. DeCou, chairman
of support of the national board,
assisted by Bjorg Hansen; Mrs.
V. Morris, in charo-e of public af
fairs, assisted by Annamae Win
ship and Gloria Cartozian.
Four principal areas of interest,
minority and civil rights, leader
ship (voluntary and professional),
support of national board, and
matters of public interest such as
the San Francisco World Peace
conference, will be under discus-'
sion at the meeting. Opinions
voiced by “Y” members regarding
these topics will be forwarded to
New York and there will become
a part of reports from all associa
tions. Taken together, this report
will be used as a policy guide for
the national board during the next
two years. “This will give an op
portunity for each member of the
‘Y’ to express an opinion to the
national organization,” said Miss
Lois Greenwood, YWCA executive
secretary.
Five votes for new members of
the national board will be cast by
the following elected delegates,
Joan Dolph, Virginia Beattie, Mar
tha Thorsland, Bjorg Hansen, and
Lois Greenwood.
All YWCA members are urged
to attend this convention.
