Some readers have been dancing for many years; some are newcomers this season. Why do you continue to dance? Starting on pages 12 and 13, you will find two articles almost diametrically op- posite in their focus. The longer of the two was composed on a computer—perhaps a word processor—and tends to look very impersonally and objectively at square dance learning. Very frankly, at least one of your co-editors disagrees strongly. Then, in laying out this issue, we came across the shorter, "filler" piece sent by the Schreiners, which gives the reasons they dance. Personal, yes; altruistic, yes. And we tend to agree with them—fun and dance. You just want to go and enjoy. people are important reasons. That's all right, too. True to our pledge, we are printing both Somehow we want to tie this all up in viewpoints.

The two contrasting articles on why we dance are written by Hudson Millar, a professional writer and computer hacker, and Al and Vera (Chestnut) Schreiner, members of the NEC and executive secretaries of LEGACY. The other familiar contributors are Millard and June McKin- ney, prolific round dance writers; Jo Jan Nunley, who has examined square dance activity from many angles, and now looks over the caller's shoulder; Evelyn Borden, who specializes in caller profiles from her native California; Ida Reilinger, who en- thuses over dancing with thoughts for every season; Bev Warner, who has made another contribution to "Hem-Line." Topping off this issue is a cartoon by Richard Tomasic from San Francisco, who has appeared on our back cover before. All wrap- ped up in a "sweetheart" cover, here is our Valentine to all of you! 1.
