Orphie Marcellus American Squaredance, May 1987 verytime we hear of theories and E predictions, we have a tendency to cn thITI111111 apply the information to square dancing. We've been involved in an adult discus- sion on coping with technological pro- cesses and progress wisely. One of the sessions focused on the fact that Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest in nature has for many years been accepted as an absolute. The proposal of an alternate theory, called the Gaia theory after the Greek earth goddess, is made in the study guide—one in which every species in nature is interdependent. Each group is necessary for the well-being of the en- tire ecosphere. That was enough to start some "meanderings of the mind" into square this means subscribing to the idea that dance channels, with some questions im- the one-night dancer is as important to us mediately arising. Have we been as the high frequency dancer; that the operating our square dance classes and Mainstream dancer and the Challenge clubs on the "survival of the fittest" plan? dancer are equally necessary to the total In the areas that report drops in member- picture; and, most of all, that dancers in ship and in club numbers, are only the all the varying programs and facets of the "fittest" still dancing—those who have activity can co-exist while dancing hap- really hung in there no matter what? pily in their own realms.

At deadline BY-LINE time, articles were still arriving. One re- port not published is that on the special New Year's Eve theme to conclude the Spirit of '86 celebration. Those articles and others will be caught up on in the June issue. Keep the cards and letters coming, and we'll include everything possible. Evelyn Borden wrote to tell us that, long after she submitted the article to us, Lee Schmidt and Marilyn Hansen were married in Banff last January, we presume while there for the super Banff square dancing holidays set up by Tortuga Express Tours. Best wishes tr.; Lee and Marilyn! While Jo Jan Nunley is writing about a state convention, her reasons for attending one can be applied to the national events, too. Great fun and excitement for all! Our other authors are Millard and June McKinney with their series on round dan- cing. This month we found a picture to use, to acquaint us with these "regulars." May your May be filled with good dancing-Maypole or otherwise! 1 ASDS 72-73 26. Double J Services 23 51. Charley Muff 64 76. Scope Records 6 2 ASD Tours 30 27. English Mt 100 52. Jack Murtha 100 77.
