What we're - go-1 lng to remember right now are the days when we were a care free college boy rati h. biomt. j. at Willamette university at a time when the Methodist admin istration of that pillar of learn ing also frowned.nay scowled, at dancing as one of the social 'graces.;, , ' :-'iiitiJ There were never dsnfces at Willamette in those not- too dis tant days, but friends and neigh bors, there were plenty; of "musi cal games." There was nothing wrong with music and nothing wrong with games, so it was quite all right for the sisters of the so rorities to invite the lads in for a session of musical games. : Musical games usually started out to be just what they were. Often it was some variant of that well known parlor exercise, musi cal chairs. . It's pretty dull business watch ing a pack of healthy colegians bounce from one chair to another, no matter how tuneful the ac companiment or how gifted the accompanist, so the discreet housemothers usually folded early and retired to their boudoirs. It was then that the chairs, took a terrible beating. The music rose to a higher, louder pitch and the chairs, paid for or not, were un ceremoniously kicked into the corners. There were those that could roll up a heavy rug so fast smoke curled from the edges. . That was when the musical games really started, and every one, waltzing deoorously,- felt ' " slightly devilish. It wasn't enough, though, and we remember-we clamored mlght- lly with the others lor permission of dancing. We remember as r a high spot the hiring! of an aviator to Domo the Willamette campus just at chapel time 'with pamph lets screaming, "Willamette Stu dents Want Dancing. 1 Willamette students finally got to dance and now dance in the gymnasium and own their - own juke box. I As for us we have never had the pleasure from dancing we had la those days when every twirl was made with one eye on the door, half fearing the dean of women would walk In. It was something like the lover of pork who once remark ed he wished that he were a Jew because to the pleasure of eating his favorite meat would be added the yest of sinning.
