House Dance*Magic
By BOB FUNK
Emerald Columnist
They were leaning, separately, against a post which was attached to
• the porch of the fraternity house. Inside, dim lights, somewhat im
} ■perfect music, and the smell of stale perfume proclaimed that this
'was a House Dance. They were having a wonderful time, they had
• told each other at half-hour intervals. It was the Best House Dance
■' Ever.
She peered around the post to see if he was still there. He was.
MAU the girls at the house said this was a very nice dress,” she said
helpfully. “Everybody remarked about it.”
“Yeah,” he said. His voice conveyed little emotion, but she supposed
■ that his facial expression made up for it.
“Some boys don’t like their girls to wear dresses like this because
1 the other boys—well, stare.”
“Yeah?" he continued, and she thought she noted a hint of interest.
“Well, you know, because it’s an off-the-shoulder dress, you know.”
“Oh, yeah. Pretty silly to stare, though. Who hasn’t seen shoulders,
anyway.”
She abandoned this topic, and coming around the post found his
hand in its hiding place in his pocket, pulled it out and held it. He
acquiesced, limply.
“I guess a lot of people get pinned on house dance nights,” she said
• casually.
“Yeah, I guess. If you halfta get pinned a house dance night is just
as good as any.”
She held his hand more tightly. He took it away, turned around, and
• gave her the other one, which was cooler and drier.
“I’ve thought a lot about taking a pin,” she sighed. “The girls in the
• house, some of them you know, just take a piiv the first time some
■ body offers them one, but I think it’s sort of a serious step and you^
■ ought to think about it and really wait until the right person asks you.”
“Yeah,” he said, “you sure can get stung, I guess.” j
“What I always liked alwut your fraternity is the pin, I mean how ;
distinguished it is and shaped different.”
He was silent. She could hear’ him breathing, though. They stood
■> there for a while, she (for a wonder) saying nothing, he (surprise)
saying nothing.
“You’re so awfully shy,” she said after a while, “such a strange boy.”
“Huh?” he said. “What’s so strange a'oout me, huh?’
She could think of a number of things, but this was the time for fin
• ’esse, tact, and femininity. “Well, its just—it’s just—.” She was leaning
■’ against him again, and he would have backed up except that he felt
. she would have fallen on her face. In the confusion of the moment he
> felt her hand inside his coat, but he was immune to this indignity.
She unleaned herself, and they walked along the porch a ways. There
v was a clunk, and looking down he saw his fraternity pin on the cement.
“Well,” she said brightly, “look what fell off of who!” Before he could
) put his foot on it, she had snatched it up. “Such a distinguished pin,”
- she said.
Later that night there was a serenade.

at a browsing room lecture Wed

In Thursday’s coffee hour ses

that arose from his lecture.
Stressing the importance of the
fictional versus the non-fictionul,
he pointed out that, “Fiction
gives man a greater range of
exploration,” and that “... the
fundamental bias Of historians
may result in u less truthful pic
