MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON MONDAY. AUGUST . 1963 Dolly Dance Said Debased By Tastes of Americans New York -(UPD- Nazel, the Boston born belly dancer with a college degree, says criss American tastes have debased the basically "aes thetic" nature ot the belly dance. The blonde former teacher In a fashionable New England girls' school said this was due to the desire of U. S. night club audiences more for a "take it off" approach than for art. - The result, the tiny green eyed dancer said, is that belly dancing in this country has degenerated into just another form of striptease. Dance Has Changad Instead of the original "cre ative and spontaneous folk dance" that it was when it started out, belly dancing in Oregon To Receive Planning Grant Washington Congress man Robert B. Duncan, D Ore., has received word from the Urban Renewal Admin istration that the Oregon state board of higher educa tion will receive a Federal Brant under the Urban Plan' nine Assistance Program to aid several communities and municipalities in the Fourth district. Funds received will be used tor local and area progams of comprehensive planning. - Local contributions for the program amount to $8,400. The federal grant allots $1,600 to Bandon. The Cen tral Coos county group will receive $3,700 and this in cludes Coquille, Myrtle Creek and Powers. The Coos Bay area group will receive $10,400 and this Includes Coos Bay, North Bend, Em pire and Eastside. The comprehensive plan ning work, which w ill take about 21 months, rovers studies of economic base, em ployment, traffic and park ing; survey and analyses of existing physical conditions, population, land use and com' munlty facilities; revision of plans for land lue, circulation and community facilities; preparation ot zoning ordin ances and maps. the United States now re quires the execution of bodily movements usually associated with girlie shows, Nazet said. "It was much more aes thetic and authentic when I first began dancing," she said, "because it wasn't such a commodity for the Ameri can trade. "But audiences now demand more and more spectacular presentations and most dan cers have to rely on gimmicks of some sort. Partically all of them have gone commer cial in some way," Nazel includes herself in this category, admitting that she had to partly commercia lize her act in order to sur vive as a belly dancer. But she also admits that it's not all the fault of the audiences. "It's partly the fault of the performers themselves for catering to the audiences' tastes," she said. Dancars Los Vtrve Nazet, who is part Syrian and learned the dance at pic nics and outings among the Syrian and other near eastern origin residents of Boston's South End, listed some of the commercial gimmicks as ex cessive bumps and grinds, gaudier costumes, and scant ier costumes. She also said much of the performers' spon taneity and verve was lost through the nightclub custom of paying a flat salary. "In the old days we earned our money from tips which the customers stuck on our waistbands or bras as we danced near them, or show ered over us," she reminisced. Strictly for Salary The 99-pound dancer said she now performs strictly for the salary and whatever di minished pleasure she may obtain through creative in- trcpretation. She now takes a tranquilizer or two b efore each performance. Nazet - whose real name is Barbara Storey Ohashi - said she began dancing profes sionally in 19S6 in Boston and environs to pay her way through the Boston museum school of fine arts. She obtained her bachelor's degree in education from Tufts University two years later and taught art history and ceramics for a year at fashionable Dana Hall Prep School for girls at Wellesley, Mass., and at Wellesley High School Mississippi Voters To Have Choice of Four Candidates A 12 Jackson, Miss.-iUPU- Missis sippi's voters take the first step in electing their 93rd governor Tuesday, and not even a candidate who advo cates an end to prohibition in the nation's last legally dry state can obscure the big issue -segregation. About 45,000 voters will cast ballots in a Democratic primary race between four aspirants for the job held by Ross Barentt, whose name has become a symbol of resist ance to integration. Here are the candidates: Need vacation money? Veteran Police Sergeant Faces Robbery Charges Kansas City, Mo.-IUPD-A vet eran police sergeant faced charges today of leading four patrolmen on a $5,000 bur glary spree of businesses on their beat. Chief Clarence M. Kelly said seven men, including two civilians, were charged in rnnnprtinn with the burilarics ' of shops in the exclusive I Country Club Plaza and Brookside shopping centers. Case Believed Solved Kclley said the investiga tion was continuing, but he believed the case was solved. He said "most of the 80 men stationed at the Country Club station" had been grilled bout the crime wave which lasted less than a year and hit 26 businesses. Sgt. Robert L. Cox, 47, 23-year police veteran, mas terminded the burglaries which were staged while the officers were on duty patrol ling the area, Kclley said. They all showed remore," Kelley said. "The apparent ease with which it appeared it could be done . . . and fi nancial gain" prompted the burglaries. Officers charged with bur glary and stealing were Cox; Ralph E. Lamb, 29; Donald f. Denning, 26; Randolph K. Burton 26, and Homer Wayne Martin, 24. Charges Leveled John Strong, 24. a room mate of Martin, was charged with burglary, and Robert Bovce RoBors. 32. a motel bellhop in Kansas City, Kan., was charged with receiving stolen goods. "Statements have been tak en from Burton, Martin, Strong and Lamb," Kelley said. "RoKers. Denning and Cox deny the allegations and have not made any state ments. Albert Thompson, president of the board of police com missioners, said a "cause in part" of the burglaries was that the police force is "woe fully inadequate In numbers and greatly underpaid." Body of Woman Found on Mountain La Grande-MPIl-The body of a 78-year-old California wom an was found on the soutn slope of Mt. Emily about four miles north of here Sunday morning. Dr. J. R. Sloop, medical In vestigator for Union county, said that Mrs. Daisy Tamerls of Crescent City apparently suffered a heart attack Sat urday afternoon after becom ing lost in the area in the morning. Mrs. Tameris, who was vis iting relatives at La Grande, was picking huckleberries when she became lost. John Rose ot La Grande, a son-in-law, found the body. Searchers using bloodhounds had looked for her since bat' urdav afternoon. -Former Gov. J. P. Cole man, 46, Barnett's predeces sor and a man who has been repeatedly attacked for his 1960 support of John F. Ken nedy. -Lt. Gov. Paul B. Johnson, 47, son of a former governor and a man who has based his campaign primarily on his personal attempt to bar Negro James H. Meredith from en rolling at the University of Mississippi. -Charles L. Sullivan, 38, an attorney who ran a strong third in the 1959 Governor's race and a man who says Miss issippi's "hypocritical" system of prohibition must go. -Robert. Mason, a retired welder who is not given much of a chance to make it into the Aug. 27 runoff. Close Race Expected A close race involving Coleman, Johnson and Sulli van is expected to send the two leaders into the runoff. Winning the Democratic nom ination has been tantamount to election in the past, but the 1963 winner faces a No vember general election race against Rubel Phillips, a Re: publican who is waging an active campaign. Kennedy is highly unpopu lar in the state because he ordered troops into the state to enforce Meredith's court ordered enrollment at "Ole Miss." Coleman, a onetime friend of Kennedy, who rejected his appointment as secretary of the Army, now says he can "Fight the Kennedys" better than his opponents because of his knowledge, experience and ability. Sullivan says he is the only candidate who actively op posed Kennedy's election. Johnson says he voted unpledged. Johnson's personal attempt to bar Meredith from "Ole Miss" brought him a federal court citation and could re sult in his imprisonment. Dignified Opposition Both Coleman and Sullivan say physical resistance is not the way to oppose integra tion. Coleman has promised to prevent another "Ole Miss" crisis and to oppose integra tion in a tranquil, dignified manner. Johnson, the most out spoken candidate on the rac ial issue, calls the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People has suggested an "education : program" to teach some of (NAACP) "Niggers, Apes. Al- ",e esru" on uic ligators, Coons and Possums." r'es that they would be The lieutenant governor "better off" in another state. - IBLCDX 12" and 2' Mixed Big Double loads Summer Prices S It H Green Stamps MEDFORD FUEL CO.
